Zen is a cozy and welcoming sushi restaurant with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The teriyaki salmon don, unagi don, and pork ramen were all absolutely delicious. The king salmon sashimi was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh, though unfortunately there wasn’t enough available when we tried to order more. My daughter also enjoyed the takoyaki and prawn tempura. The chicken and coriander dumplings weren’t quite to my taste. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner at Zen and would happily return.

Cookai is the best sushi train I’ve had in Christchurch. The service and atmosphere are warm and welcoming, and parking is easy at The Crossing car park—just remember to ask for the free two-hour parking ticket when you pay. The sashimi boat was fresh and absolutely delicious, offering great value. The teriyaki salmon don and unagi don were also excellent. There’s a wide variety of sushi to choose from as well. This was our second visit to Cookai, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

We are a family of three and had a great time at Retropolitan Restaurant. The decoration, lighting, and music created a very relaxed and nostalgic atmosphere. The place has a strong vintage vibe, with lots of suitcases and old objects used as decorations. The staff was very warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We ordered the Surf and Turf, Garlic Chicken Penne Pasta, and the Mega Meaty Goodness Pizza. The portions were very generous. The steak was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Our child especially loved the rich, cheesy pasta and the pizza, the crispy pork on top was surprisingly delicious and worked really well! We were so full and satisfied that the three of us could only manage to share one dessert. We chose the Pot Brownie, which had a rich chocolate flavor and was absolutely delicious. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We are a family of three and ordered the Muy Muy Taco Platter with grilled chicken, beef birria, and lamb barbacoa. Everything was absolutely delicious! The meat was incredibly tender and full of flavour, and the tacos were served hot and fresh. We honestly couldn’t have enjoyed it more. We also tried the braised beef cheek quesadillas, which are definitely worth ordering. They were cheesy, rich, and packed with flavour. The drinks were great too — there are so many interesting options that we want to come back and try more next time. Will definitely be back!
