The Japan Restaurant — Restaurant in Si Lom Subdistrict

If you are searching for an authentic Japanese dining experience in the heart of Sathorn, The Japan Restaurant is a hidden gem worth discovering 🍱✨. Located on the first floor of Sathorn Thani 2 Building 🏢, the restaurant feels like a secret corner of Japan 🇯🇵 tucked inside Bangkok’s busy financial district 🌆. The atmosphere is simple and warm 🏮, designed to feel more like a true Japanese eatery than a modern fusion spot 🍜. Walking in, you are greeted by the smell of freshly grilled dishes 🍢 and the sound of lively conversations 🗣️. The menu is extensive 📖, covering everything from sushi 🍣, sashimi 🐟, bento boxes 🍱, tempura 🍤, and hearty rice bowls 🍚. One of the highlights is their Sashimi Special 🐠, where the fish slices are thick, fresh, and generously portioned 😍. The quality of the seafood is impressive 🌊, almost like dining in Japan itself 🗾. Another favorite is the Tempura Set 🍤—crispy yet light, paired with fluffy Japanese rice 🍚. For lunch, their bento sets 🍱 are both satisfying and affordable 💵, a top choice for office workers 👔 nearby. Unlike many other Japanese restaurants in Bangkok, the pricing here feels fair 👍 for the quality you receive ⭐. The staff are attentive and polite 🙏, always ready to recommend dishes if you are unsure 🤔. They also serve unlimited refillable hot green tea 🍵, which adds extra comfort 🌿. Service is quick ⏱️ during both lunch and dinner 🍽️, though the restaurant can get crowded at noon 🕛. If you plan to visit at lunchtime ⏰, it’s smart to arrive early ⏳ or be ready to wait patiently 🪑. The vibe is casual and unpretentious 😊, perfect for both solo diners 🧑‍🍳 and groups of friends 👯. It doesn’t try to be overly fancy 💎—it simply delivers authentic Japanese flavors 🎌. This is why many Japanese locals 🇯🇵 in Bangkok choose it as their go-to spot 🍽️. The Japan Restaurant is not a trendy Instagram café 📸, but rather a reliable classic 🏮. It’s the kind of restaurant you’ll return to again and again 🔄, because consistency and comfort matter ❤️. For anyone craving real Japanese food in Bangkok 🌟, The Japan Sathorn is absolutely worth a...

We went here because of the reviews and proximity to our place, but we were disappointed overall. We ordered the kitsune udon, gyoza, karaage, unagi set, and some sushi. Only the udon and the rice in the unagi set came out close to being hot (but still, not quite). The gyoza, karaage, and unagi were lukewarm, as if they had been prepared some time before. The gyoza filling was dense. The karaage was not marinated and the flour was unseasoned, resulting in a really bland dish. The unagi had no roasted flavor, and the sauce lacked overall flavor. The rice for the unagi as well as for the sushi was too wet and mushy.

I find it hard to believe that this restaurant is overseen by the Japanese association, as some other reviews claim. None of the flavors reminded me of Japan at all (unlike another Japanese restaurant very close by). While some might find the atmosphere charming, it seemed like they were serving food in a place that is a library or reading room during the day. The food is cheaper than other Japanese places if that is an important reason for choosing a...

The Japan Restaurant Delicious Japanese Style restaurant at an affordable price. You won’t be disappointed to eat here if you’re carving for a Japanese meal. The restaurant also serves free refills of either hot tea or cold tea. Both of which you can swap anytime you want.

There are various menus to choose from. Ranging from sashimi to a full meal. There are enough options that most people would always have something to choose and more than enough to keep coming back to try out other menus. I highly recommend the “Miso Kushi Katsu” (Deep Fried Chicken Stick with Miso Sauce). If you love to eat chicken, I can certainly vouch that this menu will blow your mind. Furthermore, since this restaurant uses authentic Japanese rice, combining it with a rice menu will take things up a notch.

Another menu that you should order as you eat is Miso soup. The Miso soup in this restaurant is well blended with enough punch that it won’t overwhelm the food you’re eating but rather enhances...
