Our Food

やきとり
Justin Laneway
Great selection of Japanese Whisky.
Sidle into Justins Laneway to find Iku, find the blue neon sign and walk through the wooden door frame into the bar, for a night to remember.


Iku's Yakitori
Sticking to Japanese tradition, all cuts of the chicken are given a grilling here, including the skin, gizzards, wings, and pick of the bunch, the oyster — exploding with juices from behind its crisp, fatty skin.
