Police are searching for those responsible for an armed robbery at an Auckland on Sunday night.

Police were called just after 9.30pm to Tokyo Bay on The Strand in Takapuna, North Shore after two people entered, armed with weapons and threatened staff.

No injuries were reported.

Police said the weapons were not guns.

The duo stole a number of items, fleeing the scene in a vehicle before police arrived.

Posting on social media, the restaurant said it would be closed on Monday to assess the damage and recoup.

"We thank you for understanding during this difficult time," it said.

Police urged members of the public with information to come forward - contact police online or via the 105 phone service and quote job number P061336625.
