Piku Izakaya Japanese Restaurant Cocktail Bar

Had a great night. My daughter offered to organise for me a 21st for her little sister. We had a party of 20+ people to cater for. Management and staff did a fantastic job. All courses came out hot, with each course coming to the tables in good time. Prices for this magical food was very respectable, I recommend everyone to take the time to experience this great local restaurant.

Piku is one of the most famous and popular restaurants in Havelock North. Exquisite Japanese cuisine with options for everyone and great cocktails, local wines and sake selection. Ask for hidden vegan menu to discover specially selected vegan options. Recommend vegetarian sushi roll and tofu salad as well as Yakatori skewers. Service is very nice and super polite, almost feels like you are in Japan. Portions are bit small, so you may need to order more not to leave hungry. Overall well deserved 5 stars

Great experience of fine dining japanese styles. The sushi is expensive but outstanding. Fried rice was average for me and the pork belly was quite fatty. Took the kids and they ate what we ate but kids menu is available.

Food was great, but the tepanyaki beef was a bit chewy. The atmosphere is usually great, but no fault of the owner, we had one lady sitting behind us who was constantly yabbering all night. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

Excellent food, one of the best I 've been to in New Zealand. The lamb was perfect, along with my salmon sushi. This is a 'must go to ' if you are in Havelock North.
