Iku Yukitori Bar...Authentic Japanese cuisine in Burleigh Heads...Stepping into the restaurant, dark curtains billow slightly in the breeze as the heavy steel and glass door slides open revealing a mysteriously lit interior...The restaurant offers three seating options...for the adventurous, traditional cross legged seating in an intimate setting, chatting with friends underneath low lit japanese paper lanterns....side by side on comfortable bar stools directly in front of the chefs, watching them create delectable dishes as you listen to a mix of modern easy beats & eclectic jazz...or hang at the whiskey and cocktail bar at the back of the restaurant with a choice of two addtional tables for larger groups...The atmosphere is elegant, soothing & modern with a sense of mystery & fun.....while the food offers simple yet very refined flavors paired with complex, delicate wines, your choice of Japanese whiskey, beer or cocktails...The staff have an extensive knowledge of flavor and food and communicate this passion with ease & friendliness thats makes the experience trully complete...
Such an amazing night! Completely and utterly perfect! Every drink and dish was incredible, the music was so on point and the staff were so attentive, knowledgeable and super friendly. We loved it, can’t wait to go back!
I have loved going to Iku every since it first opened. They have a very unique and Japanese inspired interior/exterior which brings me back to my travels to japan. They cook the yakitori in front of you and the atmosphere is so cool. All the food I’ve had there has been authentic and amazing. Definitely need to go back soon and would recommend going there if you’re looking for a nice intimate dining experience or you can go down the back to the whiskey bar.
Great Yakitori and Whisky Selection!!
Huge range of Japanese whisky with knowledgeable staff who are there to help.
A really cool speakeasy feel to this place, especially on Sunday with the most amazing live band playing jazz. We liked the asparagus wrapped pork belly and on special's menu- Wasabi prawn.
All in all a nice yakitori place to hang with friends
We had such a lovely dinner here. Ordered the omakase set with matching drinks. It was tasty and delicious. The staff was very knowledgeable and put lots of care into explaining details about the food and the drinks. The matching drinks were perfectly chosen.

If you would like to have unexpected Omakase dinner experience, each menu has been created from ingredients at the best time of the year @ikuyakitoribar.
It is had to explain menu here because you won't get the same as mine anyway because @m_chesty creates new spectacular menu every week.
But one thing I can comfrim you will have such a relaxed atmosphere with frienly greeting from their staff.
Overall we had a great night and they also gave us the goodies bag to take home too.

What a treasure we stumbled across, the team provided amazing service and Dario prepared the most delicious old fashioned smoked in a bottle, would have to say the best old fashioned I have ever had.
The food was beautiful, clean and delicious. We could graze all day.
A true little treat and all round fantastic experience.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Iku Yakitori is a wonderful dining experience. From the friendly greeting as we arrived to the thorough explanation of the menu, everything was on point. We were seated at the bar directly in front of the chefs & what a treat that was. Owner & head chef, Mitch Chesterton was friendly & informative & took the time to engage with us explaining the menu & the finer nuances of Japanese cooking & their philosophy of flavour combinations. It was a master class in the fine art & science of Japanese cooking. What an incredible experience. The wait staff are friendly, knowledgeable & very efficient working in quite a small space. Watching the other chef cooking on the hibachi was fascinating and certainly has me interested in trying that style of cooking myself. The food is delicious & I challenge anyone to sit down to the tasting menu & walk away unfulfilled. Every course was a taste sensation. What a winner this place is! I look forward to a return visit, although we do live in Victoria so it does require a little more planning. Keep up the excellent work. 10/10.
Very nice restaurant with amazing food that keep changing every week. I love Japanese food and this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been. Everyone is polite and very nice too. Our 4 little girl was given some of the food for free, very considering. Nice ambient and unique set up of the restaurant too. The moment you walk in you are transported in a another world. Thank you
I went to Iku for my birthday and everything was impeccable! I had the Omakase set menu and as you can see the pictures, food was amazing. Cocktails are also very good and the service was superb! I even got a birthday gift from them which was very lovely :) thanks Iku team for this memorable experience! Five stars!
