Daikoku Takapuna

From start to finish it was a disaster! Only options were like banquet meals, could not order a main (meat, rice & veg) without the entree, appetizer, etc. We had to add side orders of meats, after ordering 5 appetisers to share. Salmon side was 2 very tiny pieces of salmon, Cost $22.00!! Scallop side $22 for 4. The staff were all very difficult to understand what we were requesting. The salads from our 2 "banquet" meals did arrive at our table, the steamed rice that was ordered to accompany our side meat orders were not delivered to our table. Overall, a very disappointing experience, and we all agreed would not return.

Jenardo..Im not sure how to spell his name but going to take a guess. Jenardo was our chef last night and holy moly he blew us away! That guy deserves a pay raise and will be my reason to go back to daikoku takapuna for as long as he works there! You are the 5 stars! I have been going to daikoku for many years and I have never had an experience like last night, you made not just my birthday so special but everyone else had the best time too and I cant thank you enough! You are a legend and your cooking was amazing, Ill definitely be back plus asking you to be our chef again best night ever!

Up until they closed for renovation, my family and I have been dining here for about 2 decades. The food is consistently amazing and very reasonably priced at lunch time. Dinner prices reflect the extras in both food and entertainment from the chefs. Child friendly with high chairs available. There's plenty of paid parking round the back of Bruce Mason Theatre as well as free street parking. We can't wait for this one to reopen!
