Futomaki Port Chalmers — Restaurant in Otago

An inviting and relaxing restaurant with a great Asian Fusion menu to cater to one’s palate. This is a hidden gem in Port Chalmer’s one can drive to from the city as the food served is worth the travel.

It also has a great Filipino menu one can explore as the dishes are delicious and authentic. Cooked to perfection, we’ve pre-ordered the Boodle Fight Platter which is great for 6-8people. It was a large mixed platter with several protein options such as Pork, Tuna, Chicken and Seafood to choose from that encompasses delicious, wholesome Filipino cuisine. It has vegetables, rice and even noodles in the platter so one can have a taste of everything depending on what one has preference to.

Staff were very friendly and attentive when we’ve dined in. We booked a private room as we’re a group of 6. There is ample seating for small or large groups with added option for private room if need be.

Ambiance of the restaurant is inviting, cozy and welcoming. A beautiful gem of a restaurant that needs to be known more for its varied Asian dishes. Pricing is great for the dishes served are yummy.

Highly recommend the Boodle Fight Platter as it’s a great introduction to exploring Filipino cuisine.

Will come back again...

We arrived late and without a reservation, bad form I know but it was a last minute decision and we weren't expecting the place to be so busy! We now know why it was so busy! Even though their tables inside were all full and they had reservations for those tables once the current sitting begin to move on, they still managed to seat us immediately in a delightful little courtyard room that made us feel like VIP's! And that set the tone for the exceptional service we enjoyed throughout our dining experience. And then, we get to the food. Often, fantastic service is undermined by average Cuisine, this lovely little restaurant breaks that trend with aplomb! The food's bloody fantastic! Great flavours and decent servings! Presentation was honest and fun. I'm going back, in about ten minutes,...

I can't help but for leaving this review. I've been there twice with my partner. The customer service was amazing, on top of that, the food quality was more than amazing. It was my first time for Philipino food and gave me such a great impression.

They use very fresh ingredients and you won't get bored with their food range. They know how to use different ingredients in a proper manner.

The interior sucks yet I can deal with it. The food is just so good.

For the last, I highly recommend their seafood. The rainbow roll was the best sushi I tried in Dunedin. They are not only professional in Philipino but also Japanese food. Will definitely...
