KRS1 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I mean the good stuff with large pieces of sashimi and rice that is seasoned properly and big pieces japanese style. Most places give measely little pieces of fish and the rice is just plain....if youve ever been to japan you should understand what im talking about ~! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm das Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I know several Japanese who live in & around Chiang Mai & they all say the same thing - you can't get the good stuff here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 If you want to eat raw fish , Japan is the place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm a big sushi lover myself. The best I've had, and it was good, is at Tsunami Sushi. I have no idea of the names of the roads or any landmarks I just know how to get there, but do an internet search and I'm sure you'll find it or someone else will post. Last time I went, I decided to eat till I couldn't eat no more, sushi, hand rolls, sashimi and it was only about 650THB...in the States that would have been over $100 ez. I went to Kason Sushi near Thai Pae gate and while it was good, Tsunami is much better. Also, it can get very crowded so go a little early if u can.

nikster Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I've heard Sumo sushi is good but never been. Hush Kitchen is pretty good. And I can't remember the name now (dam_n!!!) but the one opposite the Mandari Dhara Dhevi is really good - all you can eat sushi for ~900 baht per person. I've never seen sashimi this size... If you're looking for good, cheap sushi - doesn't exist. Except maybe in Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhbigv Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The Sushi place at the entrance (back entrance near bike lot/opposite KFC) to Airport Central is good. Ok before I get slated, it is not 'your real deal' authentic Japanese sushi but hear me out.......399 per person, eat as MUCH as you like including tuna, salmon....basically everything on their menu....I get my money's worth on the salmon alone!

Throatwobbler Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The best place I've been too is the place a couple of doors up from Salsa Kitchen. Doesn't look fancy but the biggest portions I've seen. Go up Huay Khaw(spelling) road. Its past central opposite the shell station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alobar Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Tengoku. Directly across the street from Mandarin Dhara Devi. In general it's expensive...for here. High end quality, service and big pieces. they also have a 700 all you can eat buffet with sashimi etc. and an 800 Baht dinner one (2 hours) Strangely enough they also have a desktop with free wifi at the sushi bar, so you can 'surf' while the chef carves your lunch out of the enormous blue fin on display in the kitchen window. Tsunami is a decent place to go but the service is terrible. I go with Thais, and they don't fare any better than I do.

kilt Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sumo, near soi 9 on srirmangkalajarn, is owned and run by 2 thai brothers who worked in a Sushi place in Chicago for several years. They do "fancy" sushi rolls (rainbow rolls, spider rolls etc..). Good quality and portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awk Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Was taken here by Japanese friends, they liked it so did we. http://www.farangfri...sridonchai-road I've also eaten there a few times and liked it. Quite a step up from Fuji or Zen (which is the name of the restaurant near KFC at AP), though quite expensive also. Looking forward to try some of the other places mentioned in this thread now, in particular the place mentioned opposite Dhara Devi. Never experienced a sushi buffet that was anything more than passable (and no, the Zen buffet does not include tuna, unless you count the "tuna salad" thing), so interested in giving that a try after reading the positive comments here. Price wise it looks like it would be cheaper than some of my meals at Ichiban also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jefe Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 ^ That would be Tsunami. I Googled it. Unless Tsunami moved in the last couple of days, that is not the place that Throatwobbler mentioned. Tsunami is just west of Canal Rd. I've heard good things about the place near Salsa Kitchen, but I've never been. Nor do I have any idea what the name is. I can't help the OP. He has already vetoed all of my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_muppet Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 try sushijiro , i noticed alot of japanese customers there ,cheap and delicious. it is located somewhere near the junction where u turn to sirimangklajan rd, ( sorry im new to CM dont know the directions well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Tengoku - that's the one I meant. Was great, best in CM as far as I am concerned. The buffet at 800 baht is a steal for what you get & they have high end sushi ala carte too. Just don't expect cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Zen buffet does not include tuna" it did last week when I was there, next to the salmon and the time before, I just asked for it. I've eaten at the buffet twice, perhaps a year apart (last time a month or so ago), and never saw any tuna at the buffet table. I did not think to ask for it though, assuming "what you see [at the table] is what you get". Good idea if there is ever a next time there for me, though. Thanks! ;-) The buffet at Zen is 399B if I don't remember wrong. The fourth floor, next to California Wow, also has a similarly priced buffet (50-60B more or so), but no Tuna there either. Apart from that the selection is quite a bit bigger than Zen, though the quality seemed to be the same or worse than Zen, the one time I ate there.

KNJ Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Go to Fuji Supermarket in BKK when you next pass through. They import from Tsukiji twice a week I think, Learn how to cook sushi rice, it is not difficult, learn Japanese omelette ( it is different ) Buy Nori, some salmon eggs, some ginger and some japanese pickles and whatever selection of fish takes your fancy. Make enough rice for 6 people, invite your friends over and have them self assembly their own rolls. Do this one quite often and is always good fun. Add in a bottle of sake and a good time will be had by all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNJ Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Best Japanese I have had recently was not unfortunately in CM. Was in Jakarta at Marriott hotel. So one for you travellers to note . Monkfish liver, Kobe beef, a selection of whatever sushi/sashimi the chef recomended, Live lobster sashami, ( Its antennae were stil moving on the plate ) selection of yakitori, some great sake. Only problem was the 500 USD bill at the end of the day - stil what the hell it is the best in Jakarta and was our last week there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond48 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 My wife and I go about once a month to the oishi buffet at airport plaza on the 4th floor. Their buffet includes all you can eat salmon and another white fish sashimi. They charge 450B. I wish they also had smoked eel and tuna for that price but alas they don't.
