About a 10 minute walk from the tram, Ichi Ichi Ku is kind of accessible by public transport and south yarra is only a stone's throw away from the CBD.
Ordered:
🍱 Bento/Japanese Lunch Box: a traditional bento box with a combination of their hot dish of the day (beef), assorted sashimi, seaweed salad, mixed leaves with sesame dressing, brown rice and miso soup complemented with a Japanese dessert ($24.00)
🥞 Okonomiyaki: Traditional Japanese pancake with shrimp, cabbage, spring onion and ginger topped with tonkatsu sauce, Japanese mayo and bonito flakes ($12.00)
Review:
I was craving sashimi and Ichi Ichi Ku delivered within their amazing bento meal. Seasoned rice, salty punchy savoury beef (as their hot dish of the day) and the perfect combination of veggies in sesame dressing filled us up.
For me, an indicator of good miso soup if when there's tofu. There. Was. Tofu!!!
A big boi mochi ball for dessert was the fairytale ending I needed.
The Okonomiyaki was cut up and delivered to us is cute little triangles rather than in the typical pancake form I'm used to. Nonetheless, it wasn't bad!
Inside is a little tight, so I'd recommend small numbers for dining if you're walking in. It's very cosy and the service is great - they're very diligent with topping up your water!
The Bao doesn’t have a very attractive appearance but it actually tastes really good. Highly recommended!
Sushi rolls are amazing.
Curry udon is pretty average!
Seats are very uncomfortable, very cramped and small restaurant
All good, walk in friendly. A bit noisy, and spaces are crowd. Average taste, nothing surprised. House made wine with plum was great. Cheese cake was like a block of sugar...
