Hot and spicy? also sushi?

Thanks for all of your recommendations, Michael, Mark and Sandra!

My wife and I are in the middle of a 12-18 month long process of moving to New Zealand, and the beautiful city of Christchurch is where we will be landing :-)

We are visiting Chch in April with a few friends and your recommendations will come in quite handy.

I have found in the past that much of the food in NZ, while delicious, is not very hot and spicy. Even the wasabi (green paste with sushi) I have had has been rather inert.

With all respect let me suggest that the usage of the word spicy might be a little different between NZ and the US. I have had some wonderful food in NZ that was called spicy due to the addition of a lot of onions, but to me the taste when one cooks down a lot of onions is more on the sweet side, and certainly lacks the heat that I associate with the word spicy.

Can someone suggest a place to get good cheap hot and spicy food? and how about a good cheap sushi place too?

Thanks for your help!

Bruce :-)
