ดุกด้ง — Restaurant in Sam Sen Nai Subdistrict

I’ve been wanting to visit Dukedon ever since I came across their restaurant on Google Maps last year. Back then, I was staying a bit too far, so I didn’t get the chance.

Today, I’m finally back in Bangkok—and lucky for me, I’m staying nearby this time. I reached out to them via LINE and ordered the Misoyaki Set, along with their recommended Dukepansear. I was told the order would be ready in 45 minutes, and true to their word, it was ready right on time when I arrived.

The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere inside was cozy and welcoming. The food? Incredible. I was genuinely surprised by how perfectly cooked everything was—the catfish had a wonderfully crispy skin with tender, juicy meat inside. The flavors were balanced beautifully; it’s honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had in Bangkok.

Since I’ll be in the area for the next couple of weeks, I’m definitely planning to return and explore more of the menu. If you’re curious about a Japanese-inspired take on catfish, Dukedon is a must-try. Highly...

But here, they turn it into a fine dining level grilled catfish rice bowl. The restaurant employs the ikejime technique to drain the blood, and dry-ages the catfish to intensify its flavor. It's grilled until the skin is crispy and then coated with a Japanese teriyaki sauce. You must try it once, and you'll forget the image of the catfish you once caught from the pond behind your house. Highly...

All right, first and foremost, the fact that they managed to make a catfish something truly delicious is well done. The cooking is well done; aromatic, crisp, and tender. They can draw out the unique taste of catfish out. If you like catfish or want to try them, I highly recommend this place. However, the place is literally a house, so reservation is...
