Azabu Mission Bay

The food was tasty, but nothing that really stood out or left a lasting impression on my palate. While it was enjoyable, I was hoping for something more unique or bold in flavor. On the other hand, the cocktails were excellent, well-crafted and full of flavor. The ambiance of the place was beautiful, with a stylish and inviting atmosphere that made the experience pleasant. Overall, it was a nice visit, but the food didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the setting and drinks.

Stopped in for quick lunch that turned into a fabulous long lunch due to the most exquisite food and cocktails.nnI was initially dubious about the Peruvian -Japanese fusion but I needn't have been. Everything worked in ways I could never have imagined.nnThe seats were comfy, the music was just the right volume, the staff were there just the right amount and the outlook was lovely.nnI'll definitely be back

Having lived in Auckland for 22 years, I’ve always wanted to dine here whenever I visited Mission Bay. Today—Mother’s Day 2025—I finally stopped by for a meal. The tune of ‘Mamma Mia’ welcomed me ‘Mama Mia’ arrival. Gentleman Agung provided warm and attentive service, the food was perfectly seasoned, and the architectural design was uniquely stylish. Truly a wonderful experience.

I believe our waiters name was Niko from France. His service was outstanding. And the food was absolutely divine. We had a selection of dishes mains and desserts, and they were all amazing. For a busy place it was really quiet. Beautiful setting and beach views. Highly recommend

**Food: 6/10**n**Service: 2/10**nnThe food was decent, but the service from the manager, Rose, was very disappointing and ruined what was supposed to be a special occasion.nnMy partner booked a table via call three weeks in advance for my birthday, specifically requesting one with a good view. He gave another call a week later to highlight that we wanted a table for two with a good view. However, when we arrived, we were seated at a table in the middle of the hall next to a large family.nnWhen we asked about a better table, explaining the prior calls and that it was for my birthday, Rose dismissed us, saying tables are never guaranteed and that birthdays are very common, as if that wasn’t a good enough reason to honor our request. Her response alone gave me enough reason not to choose Azabu Mission Bay for any special occasions in the future. While we understand the restaurant can’t guarantee the “best” table, her dismissive attitude and lack of empathy made the experience unpleasant.nnThis made us question our choice of Azabu Mission Bay for a special occasion, especially since I’ve had such great experiences with the service and food at Azabu Ponsonby. Moving forward, I won’t choose Azabu Mission Bay for any special occasions and wouldn’t recommend it to others either.nnThat said, our waiter was excellent, and the food was ok overall, but starting the evening with such poor service from the manager was a major letdown. A little understanding and better communication from the team could have made all the difference.
