Koji Wellington

Koji sits on Majoribanks Street, a ten-minute walk from the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand. It holds a hat from the 2024 NZ Cuisine Good Food Awards and serves a menu rooted in Japanese fusion and sushi.

While much of the local dining scene leans into casual seaside fare, Koji opts for a sharper, more formal register. The room runs smart and elegant, positioning itself as a deliberate departure from the breezy atmosphere typically found near Oriental Bay. It is a better choice for those who want their dinner to feel like an event rather than an extension of a day at the beach. You choose this place when you prefer a quiet, controlled environment over the ambient noise of the surrounding streets.
