Chisana Nami — Restaurant in Lumphini Subdistrict

Overall the food tasted good if a little boring, however I had some issues with a few things. With that said, service was pretty good, the front of house manager is doing a good job I think keeping standards high.

The prices are too high for what they are offering. 4 large Hokkaido scallops (around 100 grams) for 1200 baht is an extortionate food cost. Those scallops typically run 2,000thb per kg here in bangkok as a generous average from multiple suppliers I have worked with. That means they are likely running a sub 20 percent food cost which is more like pizza territory. Their beef suffers from this problem as well. “Australian wagyu” with no marble score or farm listed on the menu does not inspire confidence.

They don’t know what they want to be, teppanyaki or fine dining, the dining room and prices suggest fine dining but the food quality does not match. Also a little strange to cook the fried rice after every other dish was served.

There is no show whatsoever, the chef was very sweet and nice but do not come here expecting spatula flipping, fire tricks etc. She did a very good job cooking to the requested temperature and had a very good personality but neither her nor any of the other chefs I observed were doing any entertaining. They can do it for influencers or staff on their Instagram feed but not for the paying customers apparently.

Drinks are hit or miss, my girlfriend had a very nice cocktail and my highball cocktail tasted empty with no flavor and little whisky, they were kind enough to remake it but it wasn’t improved the second time around.

On a Sunday evening at 7pm the dining room was mostly empty, maybe just an off night but I wonder if they need to re-evaluate some things about...

The Best Teppanyaki Experience of My Life – A Must-Try in Bangkok!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable teppanyaki experience in Bangkok, look no further. This was, hands down, the best teppanyaki I’ve ever had. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was electric, thanks to the hilarious chef, who not only showcased incredible knife skills but also had us laughing the entire time. The entertainment alone is worth it, but the food? Absolutely next level.

The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection, each bite melting in the mouth with an explosion of rich, smoky flavors. The sushi was among the best I’ve ever had, fresh, delicate, and balanced to perfection. Every dish was executed flawlessly, proving that this place is truly in a league of its own.

Yes, it’s a premium experience, but every baht is worth it. Whether you’re a teppanyaki enthusiast or just someone looking for an exceptional meal in Bangkok, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I’ll be dreaming about this meal for a long time! And would be coming back for sure next time I’m...

An Upscale Teppanyaki Experience at Chisana Nami – Bangkok

Tucked conveniently beside the link bridge and just steps away from the buzz of nearby malls, Chisana Nami is a delightful surprise—a refined teppanyaki restaurant that balances elegance with heartfelt comfort.

From the moment we walked in, the staff’s friendliness stood out. Everyone greeted us with genuine smiles and warm hospitality, setting the tone for a relaxed yet upscale dining experience.

Our chef for the evening, Chef Keng, was truly a highlight. Though we didn’t share the same language fluently, he managed to communicate beautifully through his food, gestures, and a wonderful sense of humour. His effort to make us feel at ease—and laugh throughout the night—did not go unnoticed.

The teppanyaki experience here isn’t just about food; it’s also entertainment woven into the meal, all at a very reasonable price. Communication with the team was smooth and effortless, and for Marriott members, there’s the added bonus of earning Bonvoy points.

We’ll...
