Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I had dinner last night at Tokyo Bay and I highly recommend it. The food was delicious and the service was lovely. I especially enjoyed the eggplant dish and the pork dumplings.

Reviewed 23 June 2022

Have been coming here now for a few years. The best thing a restaurant can be is CONSISTENT!! and Tokyo Bay never lets you down. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the service perfect. The Chef is amazing. The presentation is always gorgeous and the...taste is faultless. We have taken friends, family and work colleagues here and everyone loves it. If you like Japanese food you HAVE to go here. The view is great too!! looking over the ocean of Takapuna Beach. So even if you not on the shore, come and get some cheap parking or UBER it and you wont be disappointed.More

Fantastic, friendly and efficient service front of house. Food excellent. Had shared starts of tempura, seared tuna and gyoza dumplings- everyone commented how great it was. Mains had the Wagyu steak donburi and salmon donburi. Both excellent. Make sure you book as always super busy!

Great food. Top quality and beautiful presentation. Great service. I’ve been here quite a few times. My only complaint is that too many people also like it so book ahead !

Really enjoyed my meal here. I booked ahead so I could ensure we got a table with a view overlooking the beach. It probably doesn't have the best view of the three restaurants in the building, but still really nice outlook. Service was very attentive...and professional. We stuck with the small/shared plates, had 6 plates in total (4 initially, then 2 more) for 2 of us, plus dessert each. The eggplant dish was an absolute stand out, but all food was tasty. The Japanese focussed whisky and cocktail drinks list was appreciated. Were there for almost 3 hours and was never rushed.More

The food was amazing! It was really fresh. I loved the food. I am not a fan of Japanese food but it was my wife’s birthday and she loves it. This place makes me understand why! Thank you for a great experience.
