Can only comment on the bento box I had, the spicy pork was beautiful and the rest of the bento box was what you should expect for the price.

To call it sushi is probably a violation of the Fair Trading Act. Tasteless, stale, disgusting: avoid!

We purchased a dozen pieces to take away for lunch. Very disappointed for a busy site. Rice tasted as if it had been held over from the day before, Nori wrapped aroung several pieces was dry and hard to eat, chicken in 2 pieces was...dry and hard.More

I visited with my mum, I have been here a few times and every time there was something wrong, this particular time every single piece of sushi I got was dry and stale and very hard to swallow, even the chicken was dry, it was...really disappointing! It’s expensive considering the quality isn’t very good. Sushi rice should be soft and sticky, this was the complete opposite. Tasted like it was days old. I ended up not being able to eat it and had to chuck it. Very disappointed! I will not be going there again.More

We had read the good reviews of this small sushi and roll establishment and were looking forward to a treat. However, it did not deliver on several levels. Although the staff was friendly and helpful, the Crispy Roll was made with soggy, cold fried prawns,...the bento box had tasty spicy pork belly on rice, but the samples of gyozo, fried prawn and tempura vegetable were all cold and soggy as well. Clearly, the rolls and food were not fresh. I would not go back to this restaurant.More

This was a disappointment. When I entered the premises at about 2pm the floor was wet and had food fragments making entry to the counter difficult. All the sushi was premade, nothing fresh being made for you! Oh, no low salt (green) soy sauce! Will...likely not return soon.More

They don't skimp on their ingredients, and their food is always fresh. Love this place, centrally located next to the new world supermarket.

I eat here 2 times a week in summer, Niko Niko has the best sushi in Whakatane and a good variety. Whether you eat in or takeaway, the food is awesome, great miso as well. This sushi shop is always packed with customers and provides...quick service and a high standard of food. Well worth a try if you're in Whakatane.More

I love theses little triangle veggie sushi no other sushi place makes them, everything else is really fresh and tasty too and consistent. Service is efficient if not cheerful but I'm there for triangles so it's not a drama.

Having been to nearly all the sushi bars/ restaurants in NZ, I would rate this the best. Great food and lovely staff. Very good value for money. I come here often when in Whakatane. Attentive and accommodating staff. Very clean and fresh. Not only do...they do an amazing range of delectable sushi they also do hot meals freshly cooked. Takeaway or dine indoors or out. I've tried nearly every sushi shop in BOP and this is the best by a mile. Highly recommended!!!!More

This central shushi shop has an excellent selection of shushi to cater to all tastes. Buy separately or order large trays for bigger gatherings.
