The location looks very cozy and interesting. Yakitori is on the menu. If anything the pork belly and scotch fillet are the nicest on the list. Number 9 sake is a nice pairing sweet sake
Established in 1997, Tanuki’s Cave is a longtime best of Auckland pick. Walk down the dimly lit stairs to find the “cave .” There’s a good selection of skewered yakitori and kushiage . Read more
Go for a mix of 3-4 bites and wash it down with some Orion beer or sake . Didn't have a single thing that didn't taste great! The cabbage with Japanese Mayo was a revelation.
Let them know if you're seeing a show and they'll prioritise you. The sirloin with butter is amazing! Chicken skins ? Yes. Just do it.
Love this place! Good food and my fav place in town for late night food and that one more drink you dont really need! :)
Love that they have kushiage and yakitori here. Selection is a bit limited for both, but most of the options were quite good.
Great atmosphere for dating. Highly recommended grilled skewers . Nice downtempo chill music . 3 rules apply. Find out urself xo
Scotch fillet steak with butter and soy is a winner.
Outstanding Japanese food in the heart of Auckland. Coming from a Sydneysider raised on Asian food this is a huge compliment. DELICIOUS.
Short but excellent wine list . Donburi steak is fantastic!
Great place to have sushi and beer in downtown Auckland.
Soft-shell Crab , Oysters and a pint of Sapporo at the bar is all you need.
Grilled Vienna sausage was a pleasant surprise.
Book via phone or email and mention monthly newsletter to get a free appetizer . June only so get in quick. So yum.
Just squirt out some of the sauce onto your plate and dip away. It makes everything good! I wanted to steal a bottle. Read more

Their Yakitoris are to die for!
The scotch fillet will make your life.
Pretty disappointing service for a place everyone raves about. Hope the food makes up for it......
