Bian Sushi & Donburi in Auckland

"Consistently the best sushi in Auckland. Period. Anyone giving it less than 4 stars doesn’t know what they’re talking about!"

"I like to stop in from time to time for their potato croquettes, have some sushi and miso, great little spot."

"Teriyaki beef donburi here is awesome, as are the katsu curry donburi. Delicious sushi too. They also have the most tasty mayo onion and herb sauce I've ever tried - it's beside the self service wasabi/sauces. Free self-service green tea if you are dining in :)"

"Some interesting options of sushi. What I really like about the place is you can pick and choose, so you literally have 6 pieces of sushi and all of them can be different. I would definitely like to add a note on the wasabi, that stuff is really strong, compared to a whole bunch I have had in Auckland. All on all definitely a must-try place for sushi"

"My go to for sushi in the city. Very delicious and always fresh. They have a wide variety of flavours to choose from my favourite is the spicy chicken the chicken Katsu and the salmon sushi. Don’t forget to add some of their famous white sauce at the end. Very lovely atmosphere inside newly renovated very clean and inviting."

"Food was great. Spicy chicken and salmon donburi are must try. Udon soup was great and spicy chicken on the sides was tender and cooked to perfection."

"Apparently the sushi here is one of the best in town, but I can’t judge as I didn’t try them. The staff were nice, the restaurant was clean and tidy, the view looked out to Symonds St and was relatively quiet when we went. I got the small Chicken Katsu curry, and the portion was just right for me. The curry tasted standard, with a bit of a kick that built up after a while. I appreciate that it had good chunks of potatoes, carrots and onions in the curry. The Katsu had a light crispy exterior and the meat wasn’t dry, however it lacked flavour if not dipped in the curry. The rice didn’t really look or taste like Japanese short grain, it was also slightly clumped together, can’t say it was my favourite. The presentation was also a bit boring. Overall the dish was ok and satisfied my hunger, but definitely not the best Katsu curry out there. Another thing I noticed was that the door slammed loudly when closed, not a huge problem but gave me a small fright the first time."

"Came in at 2pm fairly desperate for a quick bite with my fussy kids. Had minimal expectations. OMG is this the best sushi ever! The freshness and quality of all ingredients was unreal. We ordered thirds."
