Overview

A Hidden Gem in Auckland

Tucked away on High Street, Koiya Japanese Restaurant is like that cozy friend you didn’t know you needed. Seriously, if you’re wandering around Auckland, this place deserves a pit stop. With a standout score of 4.7 out of 5 from over 400 reviews, it seems like everyone’s falling in love with the ramen and katsu here.

I popped in for lunch one day and let me tell ya, their bento boxes are something special. For just about $55, my friend and I indulged in two bento meals and a roll. The portions? Generous enough that we were both rolling out of there, and let’s just say, that’s not the usual experience in central Auckland.

The atmosphere is cozy yet casual—ideal for a quick meal or a lazy afternoon. You can tell the staff really care; they’re friendly and quick to serve, making the whole experience feel warm and inviting. Speaking of service, they score pretty high on that front! It’s pretty clear they’ve got it down to a fine art.

Now, if you’re a fan of a good drink with your meal, Koiya’s got you covered there too. Their sake selection is solid, and they even have a delightful peach wine that caught my eye. So, whether you’re after a quick takeout or a sit-down meal, they offer both options.

And hey, vegetarians, you won’t be left out. The menu is pretty accommodating, with diverse options that cater to everyone. Overall? You could say Koiya is worth two trips, or maybe even three. Just be prepared; it can get busy, especially during dinner time. I’d recommend going early or gearing up for a bit of a wait. But trust me, it’s utterly worth it!
