Beng Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Had lunch at Sansui restaurant today. It was excellent and very authentic. According to the japanese chef/owner, it was the first japanese restaurant to open in Chiang Mai 20 years ago. I had mixed Tempura, Miso soup, fried fish, a pork and a beef dish, chicken rice, fried and pickled fish, fruits and a bottle of water for 315 baht. The place is not easy to find though. If anyone is interested, the adress is 3/3 Moo1 Chiang Mai-Sankamphaeng Road, Tasala (going towards Sankamphaeng, its at the end of the first little soi to your right after crossing the superhighway) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) They might be right, but Sakura restaurant is the oldest that I can remember. It is on soi Chang Moi Kao now, but was on Moon Muang soi 2 when it first opened way back then. I'm not sure that it was ever excellent, but it has always been really cheap and has a lot of good dishes.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I also remember a Japanese restaurant on Huay Kaew around 1994-1995. Gone now of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Quite a legendary place I remember Sansui as a kid (now 42) Sakura restaurant came much later. Owner is Japanese and he drives on his own to pick the fish himself from the fish market by the sea every couple of weeks and has been doing this for a long time.

Owner is Japanese and he drives on his own to pick the fish himself from the fish market by the sea every couple of weeks and has been doing this for a long time. That's right. He goes to Rayong every 10 days to pick fresh fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 But anyway, the one that perhaps LOOKS the oldest (and is well worth visiting) is of course Kitchen Hush.. Old wooden house just off Nha Wat Ket Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The part about the owner being Japanese driving on his own to pick the fish himself from the fish market by the sea every couple of weeks sounds interesting if it tastes better than the flash-frozen stuff. .

4x4 CNX Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Also SUNTORI, is not the oldest, but good quality, fresh fish and very convenient. Is along the moat, just before Chiang Puak Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good to know. On the inside of the moat, near Jok Somphet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4 CNX Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good to know. On the inside of the moat, near Jok Somphe Driving from Huay Kheo Rd. is just after PTT, about 200 meters before Chiang Puak Gate, inside the small Soi where there is Samsung office ( big sign in blue color ) on the corner. ( I am sorry, I don't know exactly the name of the Soi ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the google map! Thanks! Found it. Now not so much of an adventure on a bike, but thats a good thing i think! For my contribution, i was on the hunt for some mex food and someone recommended the Salsa Kitchen in north CM. I went there had some food. it was OK but on the way out I noticed a sushi place that was quite busy. So I stopped by had some salmon sashimi, and a couple other dishes plus beers. Total was just north of 400B but well worth it. Id go again if i wasnt looking for new watering holes The place is called AI Sushi and the google map link is below Google map to ร้านอาหารญี่ปุ่น AI Sushi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvidl Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I ate at Ai Sushi last night for the first time. Had a sushi/sashimi combo plate and thought it was quite good - very fresh. 5 pieces of sushi, 5 of sashimi, some tuna maki and a bowl of miso soup. Total 320 baht with a soft drink. Not bad. It;'s diagonally across Huay Kaew Rd. from the entrance to the Kad Suan Kaew Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
