&SUSHI Smales Farm — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

I LOVE THIS SUSHI PLACE! I found this hidden gem while browsing for food after my pilate class. You pick your own sushi in the display and you pay base on the number of sushi you pick. The salmon are really fresh and nice. They serve the rolls in different kind of rice. I usually get the purple rice because its sticky texture complement the raw salmon.

Thinking about it make me crave them and i'm always tempted to order a 2nd round but i have to stop myself. The 2 girls who work here are fantastic by providing excellent customer service! The best thing is wasabi and soya sauce is free!! Make sure you come early as the sushi flies...

What a joke... Very disapointed. Had a chicken yakisoba meal around 2pm today at Goodside smalles farm, food served on a paper box, rather than a plate... Then I see a nice picture on their Facebook page. All food served on paper boxes... For all clients eating on site. And the plates there, on the shelves... Just another take away food, expensive experience. Your staff managed to kill all the pleasure of eating what was something tasty. Where is sustentability? Response: it was a procedure for Covid-19. They say they are slowly going back to normal... Well, too slow. Other eateries at the same place are...

Had a 30 min bus "layover" at Smales Farm and luckily enough this shop was still open to give me another takeaway option to Shake Out (which is great too mind you). Anyways, as expected an hour before closure they don't have any ready-made sushi to grab and go, but they did have some made-to-order poke, donburi, and noodle boxes. The teriyaki chicken was perfectly pleasant and hot, and they don't skimp on the details like even giving you what I find as the fanciest disposable chopsticks I've ever used haha (smoothly round, shiny, darker wood). Their prices are somewhat higher than I'd have liked, but I know...
