UNAKICHI うなきち — Restaurant in Khlong Tan Nuea Subdistrict

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this restaurant, they serve the BEST UNAGI (Eel) I have tried so far. It is way better than the Michelin Bib Gourmand one in Singapore.

Unagi are fresh, plump and juicy. Chef Takashi revealed that they only use the freshest ingredients from Japan. I love their salt grilled ones. Extremely tasty and different from the regular ‘sweet sauce’ variations. We tried the Unagi Tataki during this visit, and I must say it is extremely refreshing and pairs really well with the onions and shiso leaf. Chef Takashi is really really good with his fire, so you can never go wrong with their grilled dishes.

These are our favorite: Shirayaki Grilled Unagi with wasabi Unagi Tataki Grilled Beef tongue grilled Unagi on sticks liver pate limited Set Meals

I definitely recommend trying their set meals because it is great value for money, but it is limited sets everyday, so do confirm reservation to secure the set.

Comparing my experience with eels, and even the Michelin Bib Gourmand one in Singapore, Unakichi is the best and definitely deserve a Michelin award too!

Overall amazing place. The chef and staff are extremely friendly and price is really friendly too. Good Value for Money. This definitely made it into my Must Visit Whenever in...

High quality ingredients cooked to near perfection. Every dish was good. I really loved the side dishes, especially the salad served at the start.

I made a reservation for a lunch set (699 baht) about 1 month in advance through Unakichi's Instagram. There are only 15 lunch sets a day so making a reservation is recommended. The set includes everything pictured, including multiple side dishes, a choice of iced water or hot tea, and green tea ice-cream.

With 10% service charge and 7% VAT, the total bill came up to 822.72 baht.

Impeccable service. Great location at Hotel Nikko Bangkok 3F, just a 5 mins walk from Thong Lor BTS.

More than half the diners here...

Best Unagidon in town. Unlike typical Unagi in most Japanese restaurants (which comes from Taiwan or China), Unakichi uses eel from Japan. Chef meticulously prepare fresh ingredient daily. The service is also impeccable.

I recommend that you make a reservation before visiting the restaurants as it could get pretty busy. You could also order some dish in advance as some of them are limited.

My personal favourite are

1: Unagi Lunch set. This is limited to 15 sets per day. Definitely best bang for the buck. It comes with side dishes, soup, steam egg, tea and ice cream. 2: Gyu Tan 3: Sashimi of the day. (this varies by day....
