New Zealand Cafe? The name totally confused me when I visited a business a few doors down to get some signs made. I thought "what do they eat in Australia?" Then a friend suggested that I try it out for sushi. I don't so sushi so again, went about life.
Well, I've tried it now twice and while I haven't tried the sushi, the other dishes are great. This place is pretty cool. It's in a divey plaza wedged into the corner next to a take out chinese place and something else on the other side. They have a sushi bar and about a hand full of high top 4 place tables and a few lower ones in the middle. I've been in larger walk-in closets.
The food is good...really good. I ordered a lettuce wrap and it was exactly what I wanted. Why can't more places do a decent lettuce wrap?
The hibachi chicken was a little unexpected. It came in a bento box-like contraption with rice in the corner, the chicken the veg in the center, more chicken on skewers, salad in another corner and even two crab rangoons (I guess - who knows how it's spelled...and I know what you're thinking "Why not just use google to find out how to spell it!..." I just did and it is rangoon".
You sushi people, don't fret. I'm sure someone else had that and thought it was good. If you order a lot of sushi, they bring it out in a boat which is pretty cool.
I grew up thinking that Japanese food required a bunch of pageantry and pantomime but I don't want that. I want some rice or noodles, some lettuce and veg that's crisp and some meat prepared properly. This place get's it for me. Definitely one to put in the rotation.
