Ordered the salmon poke salad bowl ($14) which came in an incredibly small portion. The shallow takeaway bowl contained a few miserable stalks of undressed greens, two bites worth of sushi rice, some pickled veg and a tiny portion of salmon. I was left hungry after that.

There are quite a few restaurants around the country doing the Asian fusion thing, and we've enjoyed a lot of them. But none compare to what we experienced last night. This restaurant is awesome, the food is amazing, and the service is friendly and professional. The quality of each dish was superb, and the serving size was also generous. Can not recommend highly enough, and can't wait to head back there on our next visit to Christchurch.

Kinji Japanese Restaurant

Reviewed By Stephen M

Enjoyed our experience last time so we came back for more. We commenced with 5 Kind of Sashimi, and Wakanui Caparceo which were absolutely scrumptious. A couple of our mains are worth high praise, King Prawn Tappin Sizzle and Teriyaki chicken. Our friends from Auckland very impressed that it was BYO also. Worth every penny, we will be back again.

We came here quite often as this is our favourite restaurants to fine-dine Asian Fusion meals.The service is fantastic, the foods are amazing and the overall experience is something that always attract us to come back. The last one we were here was for the 'All You can Eat' dining experience, where you can order multiple deshes for a set price.They always surprise us with the innovation they do that was inspired from taditional Asian food.

Thai Orchid

Reviewed By DonnaHewer

Visiting from Hamilton and family ordered a takeaway. We love Thai food but found this takeaway to be disappointing. The pad thai tasted stale and the flavors in the sweet and sour and chicken and cashews were strange and nothing like thai we have ever had either in Thailand or NZ. I'd try somewhere else. I don't do negative reviews lightly but this was warranted. Don't bother, I'm sure you could get better food elsewhere.

After searching for a restaurant that was open on the Labour Day Holiday, we found Nobanno. The food was terrific and the service attentive. We met the owner who explained the dishes to us and helped guide us in our selections. Strong recommendation.Just like to thank you for your review as it means a lot to Nobanno and its team. We are very pleased to know that you had a great dinning experience at Nobanno.
