Azabu Mission Bay

Just set back from the beachfront area of Mission Bay, Azabu makes its mark by artfully blending the rich culinary heritages of Japan and Peru. This delightful fusion spot is a cultural experience, wrapped up in the relaxed elegance of Auckland's seaside charm.

When you step into Azabu, you're greeted by a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, where the modern meets the traditional. The menu is a vibrant tapestry of colours and flavours, offering dishes that tell a story of distant lands brought together. Each plate is carefully crafted to deliver a taste experience that is as intriguing as it is delicious.

Signature Dishes: Begin your culinary adventure with the volcano sushi roll, a fiery delight that perfectly balances spice and freshness. Don't miss the grilled octopus (our weakness), tender and richly flavoured, served with a touch of citrus to enhance its natural sweetness.

Cocktail Pairings: Azabu’s drink menu is a standout, featuring an eclectic mix of cocktails that incorporate classic Japanese and Peruvian ingredients. The Roku Gin-based cocktails are a must-try, with the Nippon Negroni offering a delightful twist on an Italian classic, using Choya plum wine to add a touch of the East.

Azabu Mission Bay's decor complements its culinary ethos, featuring minimalist design with subtle nods to the cultural blend that defines its menu. The dining area, spacious and well-lit, offers stunning views of the bay, making it an ideal spot for both romantic evenings and casual lunches. The service here matches the high standards of the kitchen, with staff who are knowledgeable and eager to share the stories behind the dishes.

Azabu Mission Bay is ready to welcome guests every day of the week, with hours that cater to both early birds and night owls. Whether it’s a midday escape or an evening retreat, Azabu provides a perfect backdrop for any occasion.
