Shoya — Restaurant in Waitematā

I only visited this store once and I already wish this restaurant to be successful. I am attracted to the service we got, the waiter who served us was so polite, so much so that you can also feel her humility, her willingness to serve and to make our dining experience to be pleasant. I will give the serving staff 10 out of 5 stars if only it is possible.

Food-wise, we ordered ramen and it was SO GOOD. I have high blood pressure and eating pork and salty food is not healthy for me but the ramen was SO YUM, I drink all the soup in my bowl. I did not feel well after that but I have no regret, it was the most delicious ramen I have ever eaten here in NZ. I will give the food 10 stars out of 5, again only if it...

Amazing Japanese restaurant at Auckland. In Auckland, there is bunch of Japanese restaurant. Some is good, some is bad. However Shoya is the GOAT for sure. My apartment was close to upper queen street. So I used to be there very often. Usually lunch and dinner time. In lunch time they has donburi rice bowl. That's lunch time only. And dinner time they would be like Japanese izakaya. I strongly recommended to go with friends for good relax time. If you be there, please don't miss the ramen. Every ramen has real Japanese taste!! I wonder there is one Japanese guy who very good for a customer. Is he still working? Anyway whole guys are polite and friendly. All food is amazing. Check them out...

What a surprise! This was simply outstanding. We ordered the Hell Ramen (3) and Tonkotsu Miso. Both were great, but the Tonkotsu brooth was almost identical to what we had in Sapporo in the "Okami" Ramen Bar. Brought us straight back into Sapporo's winter, slurping on Ramen while there was a snowstorm outside we could watch from the window.

The only difference we could spot was that the noodles were not home made and the Cashu was thinner and not grilled before it was added to the soup. But apart from that a very pleasant experience.

Thank you for bringing back the memories.

Edit: it was so delicious, that we went...
