If you're a seafood lover, 928 Eatery on Dominion Road, Mt Eden is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the freshness of the ingredients—there’s a large tank showcasing all the live seafood available, so you know exactly what you’re getting. It’s not just a meal here—it’s a full experience.
The menu is focused and straightforward: fresh seafood is the star of the show. Don’t expect a long menu with lots of options—this place is all about premium, quality seafood done right. We ordered the combination seafood pot and a king crab, and both were absolutely amazing. The seafood pot was full of flavour and generously portioned, perfect for sharing. The king crab was fresh, meaty, and cooked to perfection.
What really stood out, even beyond the delicious food, was the exceptional service. Honestly, it was the best service we’ve received at any restaurant in a long time. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. One staff member even helped us cook the seafood combination pot at our table, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. It felt like we were being hosted rather than just served.
We also tried the Paua fried rice, and it was a delightful surprise—perfectly cooked and rich in seafood flavour. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients.
Another bonus is the free parking lot behind the restaurant, which is a rare find in this area and makes visiting even more convenient.
We had a wonderful night with lots of fresh seafood, great conversation, and warm hospitality. Highly recommend 928 Eatery if you want an authentic and satisfying seafood experience in Auckland.

Not a bad experience, but definitely noted some things that could be improved.
The salmon katsu was very heavily coated in crumb, so the ratio was quite off, and made the fish very hard and over cooked.
The vegetable tempura was not bad, but the batter could be better, and it needed more sauce. The sauce it was served with wasn't a traditional tempura sauce either.
The rice was very bland, no seasoning.
I requested for the vegetable bento to be served with no fish, but I received a prawn cutlet and salmon sushi piece.
The salad desperately needed a creamy roasted sesame dressing, as it was very plain, and combined with plain rice and tempura with very little sauce, it was a little underwhelming.
The katsu chicken was nice and crunchy and came with a sauce on top which was tasty.
I'd definitely look forward to trying this place again if they made some changes.
A side note, this place was a little hard to see from the street as the main signage said Dons n' Rolls, not Brown Rice Japanese.

Upstairs on Dominion Road. A simple place, staff speak limited English but pointing to the items on the menu does the trick.
We had pancakes, cold pototoe salad and a hot dish which was pork. Very nice wrapped in the pancake. Took some home as it was too much for two people.

Owner is very welcoming and passionate about the restaurant. If you want the best dish catered to your taste, I highly insist asking the chef for his recommendation, as he is actually flexible to make what might suit your spice level etc. We were recommended the Bhuna chicken and Goat curry - which were absolutely delicious. Pair this with fresh piping hot buttered naan, and every morsel melts in your mouth. The Gulab Jaman at the was also a great fresh touch. Can't wait till the interior work is finished all the best

1st & last time ordering here. The reviews of the sweet & sour pork were hit & miss. Ours is a big miss! The dish is literally half the size of the combination Fried rice. Never had chinese takeouts served in different sized containers, ever & we've been ordering take out 30+ years! Sauce was barely covering the overcooked dry pork. Not worth $25. The plus is the rice & chips were very well portioned, hence 3 stars.
