About Ichi Ichi Ku

Ichi Ichi Ku was a popular Japanese izakaya-style restaurant and café located in South Yarra, Melbourne, offering sushi, sashimi, bento boxes, donburi rice bowls, ramen and contemporary small plates. The venue was known for its casual, modern take on Japanese food, including many gluten-free options, Japanese-inspired breakfasts, and a strong coffee and drinks offering throughout the day. Alongside dine‑in service, Ichi Ichi Ku had a substantial takeaway and delivery trade, with orders placed in-store, over the phone, via their website (ichiichiku.com.au), and through third‑party delivery platforms.

A charge from Ichi Ichi Ku may appear on your bank or card statement if you dined at the South Yarra location, ordered takeaway for pickup, or used a delivery service that processed payment under the restaurant’s merchant name. You might see a descriptor such as “ICHI ICHI KU SOUTH YARRA” or a variation including “MELBOURNE” or “AUS.” Charges could relate to a one‑time meal, a group bill you paid for, a catering/large order, or a saved‑card payment from an online order. While Ichi Ichi Ku did not typically operate subscriptions, you may see multiple charges if you ordered more than once in a short period, if an order was adjusted (for example, added items), or if a temporary pre‑authorization hold was placed when you started an online or phone order.

If you’re unsure about an Ichi Ichi Ku charge, start by checking your recent restaurant visits, food delivery orders and email receipts around the transaction date. Look for confirmation emails or order histories from delivery apps where you might have ordered Ichi Ichi Ku. To resolve issues, you can contact the restaurant using the details on ichiichiku.com.au or on your old receipts and ask for a copy of the tax invoice or EFTPOS receipt for the date and amount in question. For suspected errors—such as duplicate charges, incorrect totals or unrecognized card use—speak with the restaurant first to see if they can locate and correct the transaction, and then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge if it still cannot be explained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Ichi Ichi Ku on my bank statement if I don’t remember dining there?

Most Ichi Ichi Ku charges come from in‑person dining, takeaway pickup, or delivery orders where the restaurant’s name appears on your statement instead of a delivery platform’s. Check whether you or someone in your household ordered Japanese food for pickup or delivery from South Yarra around that date, including via apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash or Deliveroo. Group bills are often paid on a single card, so you may also have covered a shared meal and been reimbursed in cash or via a money transfer, making the original card charge less memorable.

What are typical charge amounts for Ichi Ichi Ku?

Individual charges from Ichi Ichi Ku commonly range from about AUD $15–$30 for a single takeaway meal (such as a bento box, donburi or sushi set) and $30–$60+ for two people dining in with drinks. Larger group dinners or catering-style orders can exceed $100 depending on the number of dishes and alcohol ordered. If your charge is far outside these ranges, review the itemized receipt or contact the restaurant to confirm the total.

Does Ichi Ichi Ku have any subscriptions or recurring charges?

Ichi Ichi Ku operated as a traditional restaurant and café and did not typically offer subscription meal plans or automatic recurring charges. Each transaction should correspond to a specific visit or order. If you see multiple similar charges in a short period, verify that they each match a separate order date or delivery—otherwise, contact the restaurant and your bank to check for duplicate billing or potential card misuse.

Why is there a small or pending Ichi Ichi Ku charge on my card that later disappeared or changed?

When placing an order—especially via an online ordering system or delivery app—a temporary authorization hold may be placed on your card to confirm it is valid and has sufficient funds. This may show as a “pending” Ichi Ichi Ku charge or a slightly different amount before the final total is processed. The pending hold should automatically drop off or adjust to the final bill within a few business days; if it doesn’t, contact your bank and, if needed, the restaurant for clarification.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Ichi Ichi Ku?

If you need a receipt, check your email first, as online and delivery orders often send automatic confirmations with itemized totals and GST details. For in‑restaurant or phone orders, you can reach out using the contact details on ichiichiku.com.au and provide the approximate date, time, amount charged, and the last four digits of your card so staff can search their EFTPOS records. Your bank statement entry (with date and exact amount) is helpful when requesting a copy of the invoice.

What should I do if I think I was overcharged or charged twice by Ichi Ichi Ku?

Compare the amount on your bank statement with any printed or emailed receipt from your visit or order, and confirm there isn’t a separate tip or surcharge line that explains the difference. If you still believe the total is incorrect or you see two identical charges on the same date, contact the restaurant directly with the details so they can review their POS records and, if appropriate, process a reversal or refund. If the issue cannot be resolved with the merchant, contact your bank or card provider to lodge a formal dispute.

Can I get a refund from Ichi Ichi Ku if there was an issue with my order?

Refunds for restaurant orders are handled on a case‑by‑case basis and usually depend on the nature of the issue (such as incorrect items, missing dishes, or quality concerns) and whether the order was placed directly with the restaurant or through a delivery platform. For direct orders, you typically need to contact Ichi Ichi Ku promptly—preferably on the same day—with your order details and receipt to request a refund or credit. For delivery app orders, refunds are often managed within the app itself, though the restaurant’s notes about the order may be used to support your claim.

How can I contact Ichi Ichi Ku about a charge I don’t recognize?

Visit ichiichiku.com.au to find the most current phone number, email address or contact form details for the South Yarra location. When you reach out, provide the transaction date, exact amount, card type, and the first and last name on the card so staff can search their transaction logs. It also helps to include a screenshot (with sensitive card numbers hidden) of the statement line showing the Ichi Ichi Ku charge so they can confirm whether it originated from their payment terminal or online ordering system.
