Coca Siam Square, once a cool place for youngsters in the old days, now closed down for good, but customers can still tuck into the legendary suki dishes at other outlets.

 

Many people won’t remember or even know, but there was a time when it was cool for youngsters to hang out at a sukiyaki restaurant. Before that time, if they wanted to eat sukiyaki or “suki” as it was known, kids had to go with their parents to traditional food shops, where the dish was ready-cooked and not served in the at-the-table dip-and-boil style Thais have come to love.

 

Before the mushrooming of shopping malls, Siam Square was the most popular spot for shopping and dining and also the must-go location for a suki blowout. Coca Holding International Co, one of the pioneers of suki restaurant chains in Thailand, chose to locate its biggest branch at the community mall on Henri Dunant Road.

Over priced and over rated... many heavily processed ingredients at exorbitant prices.

Certainly well known and popular for a long time, but "Legendary" may be pushing it.

Was this the Japanese restaurant with all you can eat for 1000 thb?

I thought they were new on the market. Anyway, restaurant branches in shopping malls come and go.

I love Sukishi buffet.

It has the edge over the other brands.

Their sushi is better, their sauce is more delicious, they have more mushroom varieties, tastier look chin and more to choose from.

 

Shabu Indy comes second.
