9 Bowls Japanese Eatery - Otahuhu

Been once so far. Super fan of both Korean and Japanese cuisine so I loved the menu! It had great options for the whole family healthy poke bowls, indulgent donuts, sashimi, noodles, and more. They also had a lot of drink variety, including coffee which is my jam. Definitely going back to try more options.

Usually I follow suggestions given by customers and as I was near 9 Bows I decided to give it a go. What a great choice! By the decorations, I am supposing that this is more Korean than Japanese, because of the wonderful menu and the internal sitting design. Order and paid in advance from the counter and waited roughly 15min. Loved the garlic Korean fried chicken set, with some pickles, salad and fries. Lots of parking when I arrived at 11.30. Quite interesting books to read while waiting. Will come back again hopefully soon. Thanks for the great service!

Cool little food joint hidden amongst the industrial East Tamaki area. My partner I ate in for dinner. Food we tried included… (Gyu Beef) added fried egg, Slaw melted cheese 10/10. (Corn Cheese) Sweet mayo cheesy oniony flavour 10/10 (Curry Cheese pie) Crunchy Panko outside with cheesy mozzarella curry sauce inside 10/10 (Choco Pie) Same as above except chocolate filling 10/10 (Spicy Rice Cake) little inconsistent some nice chewy then some a bit hard 6/10 (Prawn Dumplings) Nice sauce but pretty standard 6/10 (8 Piece Wings 2 Flavours) Spicy Honey Butter. Batter was a little heavy. Quite pricey $18 5/10 (Original Milk tea) 6/10 Unfortunately they forgot to give us our complimentary Friday waffle fries but no biggie lol We definitely enjoyed this Food Spot obviously enjoyed some things more than others but everybody has different taste buds this is just our experience. We would recommend to others for sure though. Overall Rating 7.5/10

Discovered from Tiktok (where i’m finding most of my food rec’s these days) and it was 10/10 we got the honey butter chicken and garlic soy and they were both divine. can’t wait to try the spicy next time! The waffles fries were also lovely as well as the prawn dumplings. I will be back!

Someone posted on tiktok and I've always wanted to try it but on the weekend and they're not open so had a day off and decided to come for an early dinner and was not disappointed! Ordered too much had bowl of fried chicken over rice with cheese sauce, ramen, giyu beef stir fry, fried prawn dumplings, spicy Korean fried chicken boneless and some fries. One of my faves in South Auckland!
