Overview

So, picture this: you’re wandering around Auckland’s bustling streets and suddenly stumble upon this cozy little spot called Mad Samurai, located at Snickel Lane Level 8. It’s got this charming vibe that feels like a secret hideaway, right? Established back in 2018, it’s a treasure trove for fans of Japanese cuisine.

The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm atmosphere. The staff? Super friendly! They follow the traditional Japanese hospitality, which adds this lovely touch to your dining experience. The place is perfect for those who want to chill over lunch or dinner, though keep in mind it’s closed on Sundays.

Wagyu beef dishes? Yes, please! From burgers to hearty steaks, the menu is a delightful journey through Japanese flavors. Honestly, their pork gyoza and chicken katsu are must-tries! How do they get that balance of crispy and juicy just right? It’s like they have a secret cooking spell or something.

What really caught my attention were the reviews. With a score of 4.3 out of 5 from nearly 300 patrons, folks rave about the food and service. Sure, there are a few mixed feelings here and there, but most seem on cloud nine after visiting.

Plus, if you’re in the mood for a cozy night in, they now offer delivery! It’s like having a slice of Mad Samurai right at your doorstep. I’ve heard that their sake pairs perfectly with the samurai platter, which is essentially a feast for the senses.

And what about seating? It’s got that intimate feel, and there’s also outdoor seating if you fancy dining under the stars. The perfect setting for enjoying good food and great company.

If you find yourself in Auckland, don’t let this hidden gem pass by. It might just become your new favorite spot! What do you say? Ready to give it a try?
