Japanese Ramen Izakaya ICHIKARA Thonglor / Ramen Restaurant — Restaurant in Khlong Tan Nuea Subdistrict

The food itself is of average level but the service is unacceptable. First, the amount of shochu is the smallest per glass I have seen throughout Japan and in other izakaya in Bangkok. It makes a very poor impression for a restaurant with the name "酒场" in it when the serving is so ungenerous for a 160 thb glass plus tax plus service charge. A glass of shochu in a typical izakaya in Tokyo would be about 300 yen or 70 thb but twice the amount per glass. And I am talking about TOKYO, where the cost of living is at least 5 times of Bangkok.

And then, after waiting for almost an hour, I found out the staff made a wrong order. I ordered a yakitori set of 6 pieces, but I was only served one piece. I asked the staff what that one piece was and got a response of " I don't know"! OMG! This can be dangerous for people with food allergies or for whatever reason such as religious reasons they need to avoid certain food. I pointed at the menu with pictures and Japanese and English written on it when I made the order and I just don't understand how the staff could have made such a big mistake of ordering something that was not even remotely similar.

Anyways, it was a disappointing experience and what was even more disappointing was how they responded to customer dissatisfaction. I came in with a great mood but my mood was...

English: The Suramun Toku Jiro ramen features a rich broth that isn’t overly salty, making it enjoyable to sip until the last drop. The noodles are delightfully chewy, and the pork belly melts in your mouth. The gyoza is packed with tender pork filling, with a crispy yet soft wrapper that perfectly complements the meat. When dipped in the restaurant’s three signature sauces, it creates a well-balanced and satisfying taste. The yakitori is made from high-quality ingredients, grilled to perfection on skewers, and topped with a house-made sauce. Pairing it with Yamahaijikomi sake enhances the flavors, creating a perfectly harmonious experience. The restaurant is designed in an authentic Japanese bar style, offering a 100% immersive Japanese atmosphere, making you feel like you’re dining in a Tokyo izakaya.

We ordered and waited for 45 minutes and they were only capable to serve beverages. We decided to cancel and leave because the customers who were there before us was also complaining about not getting their order.

Then they charged us additional 10% for the service fee, which we refused to pay because there was no service, what so ever.

Strongly not...
