Ichibanboshi's Bondi Junction branch brings the same 1998-founded RE&S Enterprises Japanese kitchen to Oxford Street, with house-rolled noodles and an alfresco seating option that suits Bondi's outdoor dining culture.

About
Operating from Shop 1 at 171-173 Oxford Street, Ichibanboshi Bondi Junction serves the same menu of house-rolled noodle ramen, gyoza, katsu bowls, and Japanese noodle dishes as the CBD original, in a location engineered for accessibility. The branch fronts Oxford Street Mall with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a versatile spot for quick lunches or extended dinners. Being steps from Bondi Junction train station makes it one of Sydney's most geographically convenient Japanese restaurants for eastern suburbs residents. Hours run Wednesday to Monday — the Tuesday closure is a deliberate rest day rather than a sign of low demand. The branch maintains the same RE&S Enterprises standard for house-made noodles and ingredient sourcing as the flagship.
