About Mad Samurai
Mad Samurai brings Japanese food to the Britomart area, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in Auckland. It sits right in the heart of Auckland, within walking distance of the centre.
Diners come here for Japanese food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as teppanyaki. With 354 Japanese options across Auckland, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Mad Samurai opens 6 days a week and is closed on Sundays. The earliest start is noon on Mondays, and the latest finish is 9 pm on Mondays. 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 42 hours each week.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $40–$70 a head at a Japanese restaurant like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
