Considering this was the worst dining experience my friends and I have ever had in Auckland, it's difficult to know where to begin to describe how appalling the service was. The owner's treatment towards us was not only unprofessional, but also snide and condescending. Firstly, the waiter was unfamiliar with the menu, and unable to answer queries about the food, drinks, or their availability. She returned three times to our table after we ordered, to inform us that one item of food, three drinks, and none of the 'House' tap beers. were available. She also brought me the wrong drink. Despite only ordering skewers, the food came out very slowly and after one and a half hours, my partner hadn't received any of his orders . I was also still waiting for one more item and so was my friend. At no point did the waiter ask us if we needed anything or even to refill our water. After an hour she left and didn't return. Most of us had finished eating quite some time earlier, so I politely asked the owner/chef if our remaining 3 orders were being cooked. He responded with a curt " No, did you ask for any? " I assured him we had ordered them, but couldn't check with the waiter if the order had gone through to him because she had left ( bearing in mind we were the only group in the restaurant ). Because the other dishes had been so slow to arrive, we thought they might be on their way. He said rudely "well the orders never came through." He offered no apology, and didn't say he would cook them. He was clearly too busy with Uber Eats orders that had come through during the evening. My response was " fabulous", as we were hungry by that stage, to which he told me my tone was "very disrespectful". We asserted that we had every right to ask if our ordered food would be served, to which he became aggressive, ordering 3 of us out of the restaurant. He also made a disparaging comment to my friend about her character. His conduct was disgraceful. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–40

Just wow. Their ingredients are so fresh, you can actually taste the natural flavour of each skewer without needing smoke to carry it. Every bite was juicy, clean and full of flavours.. The chicken hearts were a standout flavourful and cooked to perfection. The chef and owner are incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel genuinely welcome to come back. You can tell they care deeply about both the food and the experience. I used to think yakitori had to be cooked over charcoal to be good but Honoka completely changed my mind. While this may not be traditional Japanese yakitori, if you go in with an open mind, it will absolutely blow you away. Price per person: $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
