Kitchen Niigata — Restaurant in Khlong Tan Subdistrict

It’s been about 8 years since I ate here last time! Glad the business still going steadily well.

Huge menu, great lunch sets and a la cart selection. You can eat here many times without getting bored. Lunch time is very short, only 2 hours (11:30am-1:30pm) not convenient for people who live far away from Sukhumvit.

Best way to describe Japanese dishes here: simple, comfort food with very minimal seasoning. Everything I order today tasted delicious but the flavors heavily leaned towards mild side.

Fried creamy shrimp croquettes, perfectly fried but the cream taste quite bland. No macaroni salad on the side, that made me sad.

Peperoncino, once again quite bland but still a strong comfort dish that can be enjoyed any days.

Butter grilled salmon, cooked flawlessly but still bland. Little sprinkles of salt and squeeze of lime boost up the fish’s flavor by miles.

Last but not least, miso soup here is outstanding! Load with ingredients other than tofu and seaweed. They clearly put extra effort into it, much tastier than many other Japanese shops.

Looking forward to try different dishes next time. I wonder which menu will be better than what I ate today!

EDIT: went again last night, trying few more dishes, much better experience than last week!

Napolitan pasta, not easy to find especially authentic version. I can taste smoky ketchup, buttery flavor. Bacon, sausage and bell pepper also great compliments.

Macaroni salad, simple side dish I know but it’s incredibly flavorful. Perfect amount of Japanese mayonnaise and seasoning. So good I had to order one more for to-go.

Ham cheese katsu, another fine snacks which paired perfectly with nama beer.

Dinner this time was highly satisfying, looks like I will have to come back again for dinner next weekend. Many solo diners here but it will be way more fun to come here with friends, sharing different...

I was so happy to meet kindness staff and greatest Hamburg today. Thanks. The last order for lunch is 1 PM. The price is not too different lunch and dinner. Don’t need to rush for only lunch. Enjoy the greatest Japanese house meals anytime on open hour. Especially, Miso soup is great.

추천합니다. 한국어 리뷰는 대부분 런치메뉴만 언급됐는데 저녁에도 가격차이가 크게 없어서 시간상관없이 방문가능합니다. 런치메뉴 마지막 오더는 오후 1시입니다.

Don't make order Ebifry(fry shrimp). There make fry shrimp by different kinds of shrimp. I never served fry shrimp like this. That shrimp has to be used for soup or grill not for making fry. This shrimp was too wet. I don't know why they made this mistake. Gyoza was not bad but not Crispy and Beef curry only have two small blocks of meat. Edamame was for free when you make an order beer. Just my recommendation is Miso soup and Hamburg steak, beer.

처음으로 햄버그스테이크 이외에 메뉴를 주문했습니다만, 비프커리는 서빙된 볼에는 고작 두덩이의 작은 고기가 들어있었고 맛은 평범합니다. 교자는 맛은 괜찮은 편이지만 만두피가 두껍고 바로 서빙이 되었는데도 눅눅합니다. 약간 그을린부분도 바삭함을 느낄수는 없었습니다. 새우튀김은 250B에 5개가 서빙되는데 사용한 새우가 일반적으로 냉동되어 찌개나 국 또는 구워먹는 새우를 사용해서 튀김이 눅눅하고 맛이 없습니다. 바삭함이 하나도 없습니다. 이곳은 일본인 오너가 경영하는 곳인데 왜 이런 기본적인 사항도 안되는지 의문입니다. 맥주 주문시 에다마메가 무료로 서빙되는 점은 좋았습니다. 태국인 친구가 서빙된 햄버그스테이크소스가 모자라서 조금 더 달라고 요청했는데 단칼에 없다라고 일본식으로 말씀하시더군요. 참고하시고 서빙된 소스 아껴서 드세요. 참고로 저는 한번도 소스가 모자랐던적은 없습니다만, 당일 둘이서 저희 테이블 900바트 정도 지불했는데 단칼에 소스 추가로 못준다는게 좀 매몰차다 싶기는 했습니다. 저는 항상 미소시루 때문에 방문합니다. 그리고 햄버그스테이크와 맥주까지 추천합니다. 카레는 나쁘지 않았지만 다른곳에서도 비슷하게 경험할 수 있습니다....

A very Japanese yoshoku style place. During working day lunch time you need to reserve table in advance or else you might have to wait for a bit since this place is VERY small; 5-6 tables on first floor and approx 25 seats (sit on the floor) on second floor.

You can have lunch set around THB 250-300 per person or in case the set was not to your taste you may choose an a la carte menu about THB 180 with extra rice set THB 90 (miso soup/salad/2sides/pickle)

Either set or a la carte with extra rice both included refill tea + iced coffee after meal

Food portion was large. Japanese rice and miso soup were good. I ordered mapo tofu as main dish which tasted okay, it was filling but not upset my stomach.

Service organizing (serving, order taking) should be developed especially how the staff communicate. They shouting the order all the time and it was kind of ruin...
