About IKKAI - Sukiyaki, Izakaya & Donburi

Tucked off a Hardware Street laneway. Rice bowls and other Japanese dishes are served in a modern, casual atmosphere, complete with terrace seating. Beef aficionados are booking this dining room solid for one main reason: the sukiyaki. Insanely marbled M10-12 Denver and A5 Delmonico Reserve cuts. Swished through a bubbling sweet-savory broth. Plunged into a traditional raw egg dip. Utterly decadent. The floor staff bring genuine omotenashi energy—guiding your first simmer and keeping the bustling, loud space flowing with impeccable speed. Beyond the premium hot pots, dive into the M9 Wagyu Osmanthus Oolong Chazuke or a plate of golden, crackling ebi fry. It’s premium pricing, but the quality justifies every cent. Secure a booking early or prepare to join the pavement queue.

  • Premium Wagyu Sukiyaki: High-grade A5 Delmonico and M10-12 Denver cuts served with sweet-savory broth, fresh vegetables, and a traditional raw egg dip.
  • Interactive Table Service: Staff provide hands-on guidance for the initial sukiyaki cooking process, delivering attentive and welcoming hospitality.
  • Izakaya & Donburi Staples: A robust menu of Japanese favorites, featuring crispy ebi fry, karaage, deep-fried oysters, and the signature M9 Wagyu Chazuke.
