EGAO Izakaya — Restaurant in Si Lom Subdistrict

So I have mixed feeling about how to rate the food here because those that I like, I REALLY LOVED it, but those that I don’t like, I REALLY DISLIKED it.

My favorites are definitely their recommended menu “yuzu ponsu hamachi” and that cold yuzu ponsu noodles with salmon (yes, their yuzu ponsu definitely is a highlight.) The hamachi in yuzu ponsu sauce is heavenly as it literally melts in your mouth. We ordered two of the same plates because we just couldn’t get enough.

The dislikes would be anything that has to do with udon because it is wayyyy overcooked. The udon is extremely soggy, unless you like no need to chew udon. The taste of carbonara and another sauce are a bit thick, but they still taste ok. The problem is the noodles.

Other food is ok though. They don’t disappoint. Other than the udon, i like the rest of the food. So I decided to give a five-star for food. I just have to avoid udon next time.

In terms of atmosphere, the restaurant located in good location with parking. When we walked into the restaurant, it wasn’t an expected kind of izakaya. There was live music (thai songs) going on in the restaurant. The singer and musician were good, but they were LOUD. If you are looking for live music and loud, then it’s a place to be. Even after the live music was done at 9pm, the music was still loud. They totally honked up the volume (and still Thai songs). The thing is, I think it echos so much in the restaurant, so with all the music and shouting (since we can’t hear one another) it’s quite exhausting to the ears and throat.

Nevertheless, I totally love the yuzu ponsu hamachi, so I would totally go back just for that. Maybe just choose a time...

Great Izakaya with variety of food and drinks. While I don’t enjoy live music in Izakaya, they tune the volume quite well, not too loud and not too soft.

Food was good in value for money. And the taste was great too! We had a couple of high-ball and beers, but next time will try out other drinks. Service was ok, not the best in town for their price-tag. It’s an Izakaya where you go there to have fun not to enjoy the services.

Atmosphere was ok, I don’t think their chair was that comfortable (please consider to upgrade a bit), and if it’s more comfortable customer may sit longer and order more!

Surely will...

Located in "Baan Silom", a self-proclaimed "lifestyle arcade". This arcade is currently undergoing some major renovations (as of mid-2025) so the street parking spots within the arcade are plentiful, because many F&B outlets are still being built so there aren't many customers and visitors yet.

Plenty of menus, many of which emphasize yuzu (the ingredient). However, the big ticket items are a bit pricey considering the portion sizes you get, but still good overall.

Friendly service team who can anticipate well when you need something, but are not "pushy". They leave you to work on your plate.

P.S. Very...
