Little did I know the the major shareholder behind Auckand's oldest Japanese restaurant Ariake was the Japan Airline. Now, after 30 odd years in business, it folded after the airline went bankrupt. Ariake will be missed, the sushi from there, from the the cheapest variety which I love - tamagoyaki to the exquisite scallop sashimi, were the best in the town.
Same can't be said about the New Orient. Despite being the city's oldest Chinese restaurant, the food was probably as good as food from any takeaway joints. If a restaurant cannot keep abreast with the changing macro-environment, it odd to at least serve good decent food. New Orient failed on these two counts.
