About Tatsushi
Tucked into 19 Edward Street in Te Aro, Tatsushi serves Japanese food to locals and visitors in Te Aro, Wellington. It sits right in the heart of Wellington, within walking distance of the centre.
Expect the flavours of Japan: at Japanese food venues like this, favourites such as teppanyaki and sashimi are usually on the menu. It is one of 42 Japanese venues we list in Wellington.
Tatsushi 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 10 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 35 hours each week.
For budgeting, Japanese restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). 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.
