About ICHIBANG Surry Hills

Don't let the unassuming Crown Street takeaway counter fool you—step past the grab-and-go kiosk into a calm dining room slicing remarkably fresh sashimi and loaded specialty rolls. Regulars drop in for quick lunch boxes on the run, while seated diners settle in over generous bento sets and platters of thick-cut salmon. The sushi chef often emerges from behind the counter to guide orders, explaining the day's fresh fish before pairing it with crisp prawn rolls and warm miso.

  • Takeaway Kiosk & Dining Room: A streetfront counter serves takeaway lunch boxes and freshly made hand rolls on the fly, while the dining room offers a sit-down menu.
  • Chef-Guided Fish Selections: The sushi chef frequently visits tables to introduce daily catches and walk guests through assorted sushi and sashimi platters.
  • Abundant Bento Sets: Generous lunch and dinner boxes pack together sashimi, beef teriyaki, tempura, gyoza, and agedashi tofu.

  • A Casual Dine-In Room Hidden in Plain Sight

    Behind a street-facing sushi stand lies a relaxed dining room serving generous sashimi boats, prawn rice rolls, and bento sets.

    You could easily miss it walking past as you really only notice the take away stand put front but the restaurant has a nice chilled casual atmosphere.

  • Direct Tableside Guidance from the Sushi Chef

    Diners enjoy hands-on hospitality as the chef steps out from the counter to explain fresh fish cuts and recommend dishes.

    When I sat down I ordered the assorted sushi and sashimi and the chef brought it out to me and explained which prices were what fish, which I very much appreciated!

  • Welcoming Care That Goes Above and Beyond

    Patrons feel genuinely looked after through thoughtful gestures like larger portions and warm hospitality.

    They often went above and beyond for some of my meals (bigger portions or complimentary miso soup).

  • Ichibang Special Bento

    I had the Ichibang Special Bento for $30 and it had pretty much everything - sashimi, teriyaki beef, rice, miso, vegetable tempura, gyoza, salad and even some edamame. Out of those, not one dish managed to disappoint me at all.

Before you head over

Essential advice for dining in or ordering takeaway on Crown Street

  • Look Past the Front Kiosk

    Look beyond the street takeaway counter at the front to find the relaxed, seated dining room inside.

  • Ask the Chef for Fish Guidance

    If you want guidance on daily fresh catches, ask the sushi chef directly to walk through your platter selections.

  • Factor In Hot Kitchen Timing

    While hot cooked dishes are made fresh to order and may take a moment to arrive, takeaway sushi rolls offer a fast solution during busy workdays.
