About this spot
Sushi Ikigai delivers crisp, traditional nigiri and fresh rolls that feel like a quiet escape from Oud-West's bustling Albert Cuypstraat market. The chef's attention to detail shines through in the perfectly seared toro and delicate tamago that balances the savory rice without overpowering it.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the otoro nigiri first as it melts on your tongue before you can savor every nuance of the fat.
- Ask for wasabi at the table rather than pre-mixed into the soy sauce to control the heat intensity.
- Save room for the tamago, a sweet egg omelet that serves as the perfect savory-sweet finish to your meal.
