Thaicoon — Restaurant in Chatan

Love the ambiance here, casual but nice. We came for the lunch buffet and there’s many choices.

Lots of parking underneath the structure, but get there early or make reservations because spaces are at a premium and many people were parked on the street

There is a corner with sofas and a low table and some kid friendly games around. Also, a beautiful salt-water fish tank at the bar.

The lunch spread was delicious! Fried rice, plain rice, papaya salad, pad Thai noodles, a chicken dish, a beef dish, two types of curry. Noodles you can cook yourself to eat with Tom Yum soup. It all tasted great, and was finished off with a delicious coconut and pumpkin dessert.

Although it was a buffet, the staff kept checking back and refilling the dishes and checking on each table to ensure everyone was taken care of. Dishes come in small portions so everything is always fresh and never sits for long.

I’ll be back to try dishes that aren’t in the buffet, but it’ll be difficult to beat the variety of flavorful dishes that the...

This is the spot people. DELISH! AFFORDABLE! CUTE! All around good time. When you get there, you will be surrounded by houses not business. Go ahead and park. There is a building with blue letters and a swing. That is the building. Go up the stairs. That is when you will see the sign.

Brace yourselves because it is the cutest inside you ever saw. It is buffet style eating. All you can eat for get this ¥1000. In between the hours 11-3. Dinner is a la cart 6-9. They are open Wednesday through Sunday. The most delicious homemade platters come out. They have a make your own noodles station. You can boil your noodles then flavor them or make a soup. Either way souper fun 🤪. Plates that were served when I went was pad thai, rice, 3 different types of chicken with veggies, green curry, yellow curry. However, there is a to go/a la carte menu, should you fancy something else. To go items are well priced. Give it a shot. I promise it will be your new go to.

Almost forgot. That coconut dessert. OMG! I...

My wife & I enjoyed a very delicious, filling & reasonably priced lunch buffet. You can assemble your own noodle soup by boiling your rice noodles with leafy greens using the ramen noodle strainer. There’s 30 second sunadokei 砂時計 (English: hour-glass) which I didn’t notice but, please be sure to use it. Once for 30 seconds. Twice for 1 minute. I mistakenly added too much noodle & had to divide into 2 bowls: ① tom yam soup & ② chicken soup. There’s a condiments table for ① spicy chilis ② garlic oil ③ ichimi ④ sugar & ⑤peanuts. Go nuts! (Pun intended). There’s white rice as well, which can be used to make a variety of delicious donburi 丼. I highly recommend them. Thaicoon does parking spaces. About 2 or 3. We’re not sure. You may find street parking available if you’re there on a weekday afternoon as we were. There’s also a family area table next to a big screen TV, if you’d like to...
