Casual Japanese @ Renkon

Yakiniku pork

Looking for a great Japanese meal without damaging the wallet? Well look no further. Renkon serves a reasonable selection of donburi or don. The menu consists of everyday favorites like katsu, teriyaki, yakiniku and curry with either rice or udon noodles. The menu is also complimented with salads and japanese sides.

Inside Renkon

The dining area is simple. I don't mind it at all since the food is the main star here. The all Japanese kitchen staff consistently produce fresh and good quality food without too much fuss. One of mine all time favorite at Renkon is the pork katsu curry. Japanese curry has a rich texture, hint of sweetness without the overpowering spices.

 

Karaage Chicken

I had the yakiniku pork for my main and karaage chicken as my side. To balance the all meat dishes, I ordered a bowl of meiiji mushroom salad. The pork was thinly sliced, well marinated and bbq to perfection. Who needs KFC when there's karaage chicken. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The taste is greatly enhanced with a squeeze of lemon and finally dipped in the mayonnaise.

I rate Renkon the best casual Japanese restaurant in Auckland. Renkon is located in Parnell and next to Paper Plus.
