"Kiwi chef Ben Bayly developed the menu at Ahi after traveling across New Zealand to meet fisherpeople, hunters, growers, makers, and purveyors. The restaurant opened in 2020 and offers a New Zealand tasting menu that includes dishes like saddle and shoulder of lamb, paired with 2020 Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir." - Ashley Day
"Thanks to its geography, Auckland has an incredible variety of seafood, best represented at Ahi in Commercial Bay." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Ahi, located in the Commercial Bay shopping center, is led by Chef Ben Bayly who sources ingredients from around New Zealand and the restaurant’s own organic kitchen garden. Menu highlights include wild-shot red deer and wallaby tartare."
"Housed in Commercial Bay, Ahi (te reo Māori for “fire”) celebrates the produce and flavors of Aotearoa as imagined by revered chef Ben Bayly. The kitchen utilizes a sprawling off-site garden to produce dishes such as miso-barbecued octopus with papaya gazpacho or hot-smoked Japanese quail with garden seeds and mousetrap cauliflower (a take on the homey dish of toast topped with cheese and Marmite). Outside the garden, local foraged and fished ingredients take shape as the seasons change, like the kina (urchin) kilpatrick with pikopiko (mother spleenwort) ferns. The snacks are some of the most delicious items on the menu, so be sure to stock up; no order is complete without the scampi (langoustine) corn dogs or wallaby tartare. — HE" - Hillary Eaton, Leisha Jones
