About IKEDA BAR

Richmond locals tuck into IKEDA BAR for fresh nigiri and comforting ramen served straight from a central conveyor belt. The chef works directly in the center of the room, rolling maki and searing wagyu beef right before your eyes. Beyond the circling plates, the kitchen gladly takes custom orders—from chilli prawns to crisp chicken katsu—delivered alongside gluten-free soy sauce or bowls of hot udon soup.

  • Central sushi bar: Diners watch the chef prepare fresh sushi rolls live at an open island station wrapped by the conveyor track.
  • Made-to-order requests: Staff happily take off-belt orders, searing custom wagyu nigiri or serving gluten-free soy sauce on request.

Why Dine at IKEDA BAR

Freshly rolled sushi, custom on-demand prep, and genuine neighborhood hospitality.

  • Quick conveyor sushi and hot kitchen staples

    A conveyor belt setup delivers quick access to cold rolls alongside cooked dishes like udon and ramen prepared promptly from the kitchen.

    It is a cosy little Japanese restaurant with sushi train set up. Reasonable priced and great variety of sushi dishes. You can also order ramen and udon if you like it hot.

  • Fresh custom requests made to order

    Chefs accommodate dietary preferences and off-belt cravings by making fresh rolls or custom dishes directly on request.

    The food is always tasty, fresh and they will cook you whatever you ask for on the menu.

  • Central open prep viewing

    Diners get to watch sushi prepared live at the central counter within the heart of the dining room.

    The lady made the sushi in the middle of the restaurant which is very nice as you can see how it’s done.

  • Lively yet peaceful ambiance

    Background Japanese music and an intimate neighborhood setting create an inviting environment that balances energy with calm.

    Inside the restaurant I felt relaxed since it was “lively peaceful” with Japanese music being played.
