Ikigai Ramen's late-night hours draw diverse Gungahlin community

Ikigai Ramen in Gungahlin extended hours in 2024 and now operates as a late-night hotspot.

Ikigai Ramen opened in Gungahlin in 2023 with standard dinner hours. The restaurant extended its opening hours in 2024.

Ikigai has since become a late-night destination. Canberra is often criticised for lacking nightlife.

Gungahlin's late diners now have an option in Ikigai. On a recent evening, the dining room was comfortably full with multiple tables turning over.

Gungahlin's population is one of Canberra's most diverse. Many residents come from Asian countries.

There, late-night dining is a common cultural practice. Ikigai serves ramen, gyoza starters, and rice bowls, with a simple ramen starting from $15.
