I had an amazing dining experience at Kobe Tonteki in Sukhumvit 33/1. As a fan of Japanese comfort food, I was eager to try their signature tonteki (pork steak), and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming ambiance, with simple yet charming Japanese decor that makes you feel at home. Despite being quite busy, the staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring a smooth dining experience even during peak hours.
Of course, the Tonteki Set was the highlight. The pork shoulder was incredibly tender, thanks to the sous-vide cooking, and the savory sauce added the perfect balance of flavor. Paired with Japanese rice and refillable miso soup, it was both satisfying and comforting. The portion sizes are generous, with options from 150g to 400g, making it a great choice for any appetite.
A few practical tips: ✔️ Prices are very reasonable (around 300–400 THB per person). ✔️ Cash or QR code only—no credit cards accepted. ✔️ Convenient location near BTS Phrom Phong (Exit 6), with paid parking nearby. ✔️ Expect a queue during peak hours, but it’s absolutely worth the wait.
Overall, Kobe Tonteki is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors in Bangkok. The combination of quality ingredients, bold flavors, and great service makes this a place I’ll happily return to. Highly...
Read moreThe restaurant specializes very well in how they make their pork. There is a certain texture to how they make the inside of their pork whether that be on the outside or the inside. The dishes are quite big and at least in my opinion, worthwhile in terms of the cost of the dishes. There is also the very traditional Japanese environment that the restaurant is able to portray with pale wooden walls as well as the traditional kitchen. There is a great variety of dishes that can be tasted and the dishes pair surprisingly well with each other as there is plenty of room for experimentation, especially when you eat with many people since if everyone orders a different dish, there are plenty of combinations one can make. The service and environment is very pleasant since the waiters and waitresses are very punctual when you call them and the music around you is quite calming as the slow pace of the Japanese songs that they play are very relaxing and it really does take all your concerns away as you immerse yourself in your surroundings. Two interesting quirks is that the prices already include service charge and VAT and free wifi is...
Read more✨Best Tonteki in town✨ The Tonteki 🍖, in particular, stole the show and left me with a truly satisfying culinary memory.
First and foremost, the complimentary refills for rice, soup, and salad were a delightful surprise. It's not every day you find a restaurant that offers such a generous touch. The endless refills certainly enhanced the overall dining experience and made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. 🍚🥣🥗
The owner's energy and enthusiasm 😃 were infectious. Their warm and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the dining experience, making it feel like more than just a meal but a memorable encounter. It's evident that they take pride in their establishment, and it reflects in the quality of service and food. 👩🍳🙌
I would strongly recommend taking the BTS train 🚆 to reach Kobe Tonteki instead of driving. The traffic in the area can be quite congested, and finding a parking spot can be a hassle 🚗. The convenience of the BTS train will allow you to fully enjoy your dining experience without the stress of navigating through...
