Where To Find Good Toro Sushi In Bangkok?

[susah_sih]

It's so difficult to find good Japanese restaurants in Bangkok.

Anyone knows where to find good Toro Sushi (fatty salomon sushi)?

Also perhaps any restaurant serving delicious Japanese beef?

Hmmmmmm

Isn't it fatty tuna you are looking for ???? Never heard of fatty salmon & I lived in Japan for a while.

Oishi has a lot of sushi but quality over quantity. Salmon & Tuna but no fatty Tuna. Fuji is better quality for a chain in my opinion. Theres a fer hachiban (number 8) ramen shops if you get hungry & Soi Thaniya has a few Japanese restaurants - never been in though - a few 'hole in the wall' curry-rice places too - great for a hangover. Try Thaniya plaza - a few places in there.

For quality - yout best bet is to go up Sukhumvit Soi 19 - there are a few small Japanese restaurants that are very good - Japanese expats cooking the food - seating just 20-30 people just like a family run place in Japan.

Shin Dai Koku (sp?) in Soi 19 is very classy, very expensive & has what you are looking for - matsuzaka beef for instance. In the small sois around Ekkamai there are some places I've stumbled across too.

Go to Soi 33/1 on Sukhumvit & you'll find a Japanese supermarket - great Shabu beef to cook at home too.

For Sushi bars - Genki sushi isn't bad - One in CP Tower basement & others dotted arounnd BKK. Just don't go comparing it to Japan....

Sonie's. Sukhumvit 31. This place does Italian aswell as Japanese.

Nobu and Maru, two top-tier sushi joints on Soi Thonglor.

here are some of my favorite japanese restaurants...

TORAJIRO (japanese pub and restaurant) -- really good sashimi and very reasonable prices

UOMASA -- very good sushi and seafood (a bit pricey, tho)

IROHA -- for a good japanese BBQ

All of the those restaurants are located at Thonglo (Sukhumvit Soi 55), Soi 13

and for some traditional japanese dishes, you can go to:

-OOTOYA (Thonglo Soi 15)

-AOI (Emporium 4th fl.) - they have affordable lunch set menu, but its a bit expensive for dinner...

The best one I know in Bangkok is in Emporium, not AOI but the other one next to the Sony store. I think it's the 3rd floor.

Both Nippontei (in basement of Nathawan Bldg. on Rajdamri Rd. with branches in airport and basement of Intercontinental Hotel on Ploenchit Rd.) and Sushichuu on 3rd Fl. of All Season's Place serve good toro (B500 or more for two pieces at Nippontei, if I remember correctly).

There are Teppanyaki restaurants in Sukhumvit Soi 33 near paksoi (and Novotel) and famous US Teppanyaki chain Benihana in Marriott Riverside Hotel, they should both serve good Japaense beef being a Teppanyaki restaurant, though I've never tried at those places.

Nippontei and Shin-Daikoku are safe choice for any Japanese food, and Aoi at Emporium and Silom are known among many businessmen in Bangkok as being the best Japaense restaurant in the town and therefore often used to entertain guests. You might also want to try Dainoki on Soi Langsuan for sushi.

General rule of thumb is if you don't see Japanese guests, they are not authentic Japaense restaurants (therefore Oishi, Fuji, Zen and Kobune are not). Also most Japanese restaurants in upscale 5 stars hotels serve good Japaense food sushi or Teppanyaki, generally speaking.

Sonnie's has moved to Sukhumvit 39.

Great fusion of farang - Japanese food but hardly a sushi restaurant.
