ELLERSLIE'S FAVOURITE JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Mr Tanaka’s is all about Booze, Food and Fun!  Since opening in the heart of Ellerslie in June 2020, we’ve been serving up izakaya-style dining with a modern twist – think yakitori skewers cooked over coals, fresh sashimi, and share plates designed to bring people together.  Add a killer line-up of sake, Japanese spirits, and cocktails, and you’ve got the recipe for a night to remember.

Looking for a spot for group bookings, a big birthday dinner, or your next corporate function? Mr Tanaka’s is the place to celebrate. From date nights to parties, we’ve got spaces and set menus that make organising easy (and fun).  Learn more about hosting your next function with us.

We’re also proud to be one of Auckland’s most gluten-free friendly restaurants, with plenty of allergen-friendly options so every guest can enjoy a meal out without worry.

At Mr Tanaka’s, the vibes are vibrant, the food is fresh, and the fun never stops. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Take a look at our menus; with sashimi, sushi, skewers and mains prepared on our robata grill, we cater to everyone with a focus on dairy and gluten-free options.  Our menus are designed for sharing so that you can try a little of everything!
