Sushiko
The strip known as Soi Thaniya is home to dozens of Japanese restaurants ranging in quality from dive to opulent. Sushiko, Japanese run and frequented, is a good middle ground. The restaurant is divided into three levels, with the ground floor specialising in sushi and sashimi, the 2nd floor serving tempura, and the 3rd serving sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. There’s no English-language sign here, so simply look for the white corner restaurant.

Mokkori
You know you’re in the right place if, upon entering this restaurant, the staff drop everything they’re doing and scream at you. Tiny Mokkori serves Japanese-style ramen in a resoundingly authentic setting, and many agree it does the best bowl in town. In addition to noodles, be sure to order the wonderfully simple snack of cucumber chunks served with a spicy miso dipping sauce.

Mizu’s Kitchen
This certifiable hole-in-the-wall oozes character, not to mention the beefy essence of thousands of steaks served over the decades. Do order the house Sarika steak, and do take a hint from the regulars and use your chequered tablecloth to protect your clothes from the spray of the hot plate when it arrives.

Ramentei
Located smack dab in the middle of Bangkok’s de facto Japanese district, this workaday ramen joint serves up a variety of authentic noodle dishes for the city’s Japanese expat community. Katsudon (breaded pork cutlet served over rice) and other basic rice dishes are also available.

Imoya
Temporarily set aside thoughts of Bangkok and whisk yourself back to 1950s Tokyo. A visit to this well-hidden Japanese restaurant, with its antique ads, wood panelling and wall of sake bottles, is like taking a trip in a time machine. Even the prices of the better-than-decent Eastern-style pub grub haven’t caught up with modern times.
