IKKAI - Sukiyaki Izakaya & Donburi

Hardware St laneway sukiyaki den where M9+ wagyu simmers tableside in sweet broth.

Dim, moody laneway den tucked off Hardware St. intimate low lighting suits date night, window bar seats suit solo diners, and the room turns buzzy once the dinner rush hits.

Tableside sukiyaki cooking with staff guiding first-timers through the broth, a pasteurised raw egg dip per diner, and a water jug to rebalance the broth as it reduces.

A half-Japanese reviewer said the sukiyaki tastes close to what they've had in Japan, calling it rich, comforting and genuinely authentic.

Sukiyaki sets sit near the top of casual-dining pricing (around $138 for a 300g M10-12 set), but reviewers consistently call the wagyu quality worth the premium.
