BANGKOK: -- A netizen shared a gruesome snapshot of his girlfriend's meal at a popular franchise Japanese restaurant, which she had been enjoying until a cockroach crawled out from under the pile of noodles.

In a Pantip forum thread which has since gone viral, user Nattanonkun said he and his girlfriend had gone for lunch at Tenya restaurant at Central Plaza Ladprao on Thursday, and had almost finished their delicious meal when she found the cockroach in her cold soba noodles.

"The cockroach crawled out from under the pile of noodles and casually walked to the rim of her plate," Nattanonkun wrote, sharing a snapshot as evidence.

Japanese restaurant? Is the restaurant owner Thai or Japanese?

I have known japanes shops.... to close for the day if a customer complains. He then will practice ... that one dish... till .... ..well i get bored watching.... go to movie come back hes still practicing the ONE DISH. If given the choice of having 1000 thais to do something... or a single Japanese professional... one will choose the better choice.

looks fake ...like the famous Bangkok Airways in flight meal scam a few years ago

[leeneeds]

Free , how lucky !

[worgeordie]

The Chinese would have paid more for that side dish,

but not much more as its only a baby.

The only amazing thing about this article is that it was in a japanese restaurant. Would she also post it if it happened in a Thai one?

Japanese take their jobs far more serious than any Thai i 've ever seen.

Fake or not, you'll most likely find cockroaches in all restaurants in Bangkok.. same for rats...

This is news? If I don't find a roach in my favorite Thai restaurant I ask for a refund.

Should have gone to a vegetarian restaurant if they don't like eating animals.

Exactly what I was thinking a good case for defamation, poor couple putting video out and rich pissed off owner with powerful friends. Good luck to the couple.

...it says they are franchised ......

[BuaBS]

I thought Thais love eating bugs. I see them at the market.

Happened to me in JapanTown in San Francisco. One of my favorite restaurants. Halfway thru my noodles and noticed a boiled cockroach looking up at me. I blanched, pointed it out to my friends and in a milisecond the waiter scooped up the bowl and was gone. The manager was there apoligizing and brought out a huge order of shrimp and other foods for the three of us and......no bill. Still go back.

Reminds me of KFC special deep fried rat.

I saw one at restaurant on the weekend running along the food train thing. They are hard to control. More common in KL from what I have seen. They are prolific breeders and like food. Usually breed under fridges.

No biggie, they don't eat much, I don't mind sharing a bit.

I didn't think cockroaches went with noodles you live and learn at least she got 50per cent off the bill.

I had to chase one from my bathroom this evening. I think ill ask for a full refund on the house and damages for the shock of seeing the blighter's twitching antennae whilst in the raw.

"............... it was in a japanese restaurant. Would she also post it if it happened in a Thai one?"

It was actually in a Thai restaurant franchised from Tenya, serving Japanese style food most likely cooked and served by Thais maybe under the supervision of a Japanese manager / head cook?

Just because it's a "Japanese" restaurant doesn't mean the staff are Japanese. It could also have been in a Korean franchised restaurant run by Thais.

Waiter! What is this cockroach doing in my soup?

No biggie? It's <deleted> filthy.

Hard to control? I wouldn't eat in any place that could not keep cockroaches out of the food.

[jacko45k]

Crawled out, urgh, it was raw!

[colinneil]

Whats all the fuss about?? Thais love to eat cockroaches/ crickets etc.

Should have charged more for the extra protein.

When i write on this forum that "X&X"-bakery sells old bread and calls it "daily fresh" it gets removed because naming and faming is not allowed.

When a Thai lady writes on her fayboo that "XXX" restaurant served her a cockroach it even gets published here.
