Genzui Ramen Bar

Tucked into 3 Birkenhead Avenue in Birkenhead, Genzui Ramen Bar serves Japanese food to locals and visitors in Birkenhead, Auckland. From the Auckland city centre it is roughly 5.5 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.

The kitchen focuses on Japanese food. Dishes typical of this style include katsu curry and nigiri sushi, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 354 Japanese venues we list in Auckland.

Genzui Ramen Bar opens 5 days a week and is closed on Mondays and Sundays. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Tuesdays, and the latest finish is 8 pm on Tuesdays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 30 hours each week.

For budgeting, Japanese restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Birkenhead easy to explore on foot.
