Tanto

I came here from a recommendation from my uncle and thoroughly enjoyed it with my partner! I’m vegetarian and was really happy with the options on the menu. I had the vegetarian pan-fried dumplings for entree, vegetable tempura for a main and the baked apple for dessert. My favourites were the dumplings and the baked apple. Super delicious and the owner Kuni was extremely friendly and gave us a rundown of some of the menu options. Beautiful restaurant and the lovely decorations added to the experience. Vegetarian options: The menu showed which food were vegetarian which I love.

It was our second time visiting Tanto and I'm really glad we decided to come again for another very enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, relaxed and unpretentious. The owner is a very welcoming and gracious host. The food is a good balance of traditional Japanese dishes tuned just right to western tastes so everyone will be able to find something appetizing whether they're re familiar with Japanese food or not. And don't miss out on the desserts! The sesame tiramisu with matcha ice cream is a delicious and unique treat, highly recommend. Definitely one of the better Japanese restaurants I've visited in NZ!

Super delicious and the owner Kuni was extremely friendly and gave us a rundown of some of the menu options. Tried the Beef Special from based on Kuni's enthusiasm about the specials, and was not disappointed. Never had beef prepared like this, and would recommend it to my friends. The Dumplings and dessert were also very nice Vegetarian options: Menu had Vegetarian Options

This is my top recommendation for Japanese restaurants in Auckland. The sushi, beef tataki, tempura and karaage are especially good and I always order them every time I visit. There are also many varieties of sake, so be sure to order the tasting set. Surprisingly pardon the pun, the desserts are also delicious. The chocolate brownies are my favorite dessert in Tanto. I really love this restaurant where you can enjoy the traditional Japanese izakaya style. The only drawback is that it is far from the CBD and difficult to access by public transport. There is no parking space, so you have to park on the street nearby. Uber Eats Experienced in 2021 True Japanese style restaurant. Fresh sashimi and sushi also good for takeaway. My recommendation is Karaage with mayonnaise.

Best sushi in New Zealand and the sweetest staff! Thank you for the wonderful meal last night.

I really enjoyed their fantastic Sushi night. Amazing taste and very nice atmosphere. I definitely want to eat their sushi again .

We had a great night at Tanto with a large group for a set menu. The selection of food was perfect and tasty. Kuni and staff looked after us so well.Food: 5/5

This is the place if you want to try the most authentic Japanese food in Auckland with great service. Everything is so good! Must try their AMAZING sushi and dessert :

Lots of deliciousness from this place. The care and passion from the owner and the chef can be found in the food and that's every single dish.
