The Verdict
Shokuzen is a Japanese restaurant on Ponsonby Road, well known by the locals for its relaxed atmosphere and affordable yet delicious fare. Shokuzen is a popular destination for BYOs in the area, with punters drinking sake and manoeuvring chopsticks most weekends, all while sitting under traditional Japanese cherry blossoms. Also, do yourself a favour and try Shokuzen's Karaage Chicken (and their fresh sashimi while you're at it).

Sumi
It’s a Tuesday night in Auckland city but you’d easily mistake it for the weekend at Sumi. The new izakaya spot by owner-chef Jason Lee (Wakuwaku, Katsu Katsu, Tsuru Tsuru) in City Works Depot is humming.
Bistro Saine
Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).
