This is my family’s absolute favourite restaurant, I’ve lost count of the number of people we’ve taken there and converted. The ambience is great, the staff are friendly, the prices are amazing considering the quality of the food, the presentation is awe inspiring and the food itself is swoon-worthy. I especially recommend the Teriyaki Chicken 5, the Beef Tataki and the fondue dessert. We often go for a walk around the viaduct after our meal and feel sorry for the people dining at the more visible restaurants in the area -they don’t know what they’re missing!!

Had birthday for hubby there last night. What an experience! Food delicious, service prompt and ambience great. Presentation fantastic. Not cheap, but there was seven of us with drinks and we went for the biggest menu choice. Can be done a lot cheaper as we ordered too much food. Really recommend chicken skewers! Yum!

Simply the best Japanese dining experience in Auckland.
The food is amazing, the wine list is extensive, the Japanese beer is delicious, and the prices are fair.
The overall experience is something to behold, I won’t go into more detail as there are some real surprises to be had when you eat there for the first time.
Good luck getting a booking during Rugby World Cup, that place will be making a roaring trade.

The food here is delectable, my favourites are Teriyaki Chicken 5, Harumaki (Spring Rolls), Prawn, Avo and Mayo Wrap sushi and Pork Shu-Mai. The flaming fried rice is also neat as they bring it out on a skillet and cook it at the table. I come here for special events and also occasionally for lunch, service is great and staff are friendly. My only gripe is that they are open from 12 – 11pm but if you come at an odd time (eg at about 4pm) they will take you but they are between services. My food was wonderful but another person dining with us received a salad that was still almost frozen. They were obviously catering straight from the fridge! However this is the only time I have ever experienced something negative from this restaurant, overall it is an excellent experience every time. Prices are reasonable too.

This is my special event place. I love the food and presentation. it takes you away to another place of gastronomic delight. Can’t recomment this place highy enough. I love the teriyaki chicken, oysters and dessert. Theatre and fun with gourmet food. This is my favourite restaurant.

Good food, nice atmosphere and food presentation is excellent. Price is a bit expensive (but reasonable) and need to wait quite a while for food to arrive.

Beautiful food presentation with an authentic feel and all very tasty. Amazing decor even in the bathrooms! This place is really popular so be sure to book – and make sure you’re there at 9pm for ‘the show’. The only negative is that service can lack at times – probably due to how busy they are. Solid 4.5 stars.
We had a great evening at Industry Zen. The food is presented like a work of art, and is very tasty. We highly recommend the Agedashi tofu, tofu croquettes and yum yum prawns. You can read a more in depth review, with photos at http://celestereviews….

Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?





However the tapas mix doesn’t worth the money and the dinner turned sorrow when an utterly STALE charcoaled lobster was served.
Still a good place to go if you just feel like some alcohol and some pieces of sashimi.
