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 they do one of the better bowls 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.

Kaito
Authentic Japanese imports are the speciality here – slurp an Asahi while savouring your tangy seaweed salad and tonkatsu (pork cutlet). The upstairs level has cosy cushion seating while the main sitting area is flanked with manga and pocket-sized Japanese novels.

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.

Shintaro
This mod bento box of a restaurant offers good sushi, shabu shabu and yakitori. Eat under the stars or in private white-vinyl dining cubes – they’re huge booths with sliding doors.

NinjaRamen & Japanese Food
Ramen-based soups such as wanton dumplings and ramen topped with pork slices in soybean are some of the dishes on the extensive menu at this excellent Japanese restaurant. It also serves soba and udon noodle dishes, and fancy versions of sashimi and sushi. It's often full and turning people away, so nab a table early.

Ai Sushi
This sushi bar could well be the best Japanese in the city. The pace gets furious later in the evening as diners in-the-know pack it out. Watch the sushi chefs at work at the bar or sit at small tables inside or out right on Huay Kaew Rd. The food is fresh and delicious, and highly recommended is the ebi tem maki (crispy dragon sushi with prawns) – very morish. Salmon dishes are also a highlight. Service is very fast.

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.
