En (えん) Restaurant — Restaurant in Phra Khanong Nuea Subdistrict

Homestyle Japanese food, mildly delicious. Huge menu selection so you never know which dishes are better than others.

If I see Napolitan spaghetti, I always order one. Here’s just average, mostly taste of sweet ketchup sauce without any butter. Fukuichi and D-owl in Sukhumvit still make the best authentic Napolitan in Bangkok.

Pork belly wrapped lettuce, for me was the most tasty, creative dish, paired well with alcoholic drinks. While daikon tempura, Maitake mushroom tempura tasted mild, basic.

Japanese owner lady here is friendly, always smile and happy. She speak some Thai while I speak minimal amount of Japanese, so we couldn’t exchange conversation properly other than food topic, recommendations.

The vibe of this place clearly much more fun for regulars, not so much for a solo diner. Also ran out of luck, I got to meet one incredibly loud, obnoxious drunk Japanese lady customer at the bar during my first visit. Of course, I didn’t expect the restaurant to be steadily quiet but she was insanely loud and chatty! Only if I had few more Lemon sours then the situation would’ve...

If you're looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience in a cozy, intimate setting, EN is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is run by a lovely Japanese couple who prepare each dish with care and sincerity, making the whole experience feel like dining in a local eatery in Japan.

I had the chance to try their oden and several other classic dishes, all of which were beautifully presented and full of delicate, comforting flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the taste reflected genuine Japanese home cooking.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with only a few tables available—so reservations are highly recommended, as it tends to be fully booked every day. The service is exceptional; the staff are attentive, polite, and truly care about making sure every guest feels welcome and well looked after.

There is parking available, though limited, so plan accordingly. Overall, EN offers not just a meal, but a heartfelt experience. I would...

The staple here is izakaya style food intertwined with home cooked Japanese dishes, perfectly paired with a wide array of sake. The charm comes from the husband and wife team, and this restaurant is always bustling with locals and Japanese expats who enjoy being squeezed into the cozy space with loud conversations blaring around them. This may take some getting used to for those who prefer a more tranquil atmosphere. You can drown out the noise by downing 3+ sakes, and soon you’ll feel right at home. Highly recommended dishes include the pork belly with cabbage, beef tongue steak, oden, sashimi platter, beef noodle soup, and the various fried options. But beware - there’s one frequent and obnoxious customer with a ridiculously loud, bellowing laugh that could tear your ears off. I won’t spoil who it is because I want you to experience it for yourself. It will truly test your...
