For the sophisticated, Chef Goji Kobayashi’s specially curated omakase experience is a must-try when you’re in Bangkok. He worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, so you find that the traditional specialties are top-notch.
Our team’s Japanese cuisine fans particularly enjoyed Sushi Kuuya’s anago or saltwater eel. The chef pre-cooks it in the restaurant’s custom-made stove before it’s grilled for the extra crispy texture and smoky flavor.
Aside from the eel, their signature 18-course meal comes with numerous chef’s choice sushi and sushi rolls. This small omakase bar, so booking a slot is recommended.

This place is one of the more exquisite omakase restaurants in Bangkok. Sushi Saryu’s Chef Suji Seido was the former head chef of Ginza Sushi Ichi’s Singapore branch, so this place can provide top-tier sushi dishes worthy of a Michelin star.
Though their omakase menu is pricier than most places, they typically use seasonal ingredients that are hard to come by like botan ebi (green shrimp) roe. It has a richer, more luxurious sweetness than the commonly used ama ebi (pink shrimp) roe.
That makes it the perfect ingredient for nigiri sushi which Sushi Saryu is great at.

We suggest booking a few days in advance because Sushi Saryu only offers their exclusive omakase to 6 guests daily. They can accommodate up to 8 guests if it’s a private group booking.

Think black abalone (kuro awabi), threat-sail filefish (kawahigi), black throat seaperch (nodoguro), horsehair crab (kegani), and a rare cut of tuna (shimofuri). These are available from the three omakase courses that Sushi Ichizu offers.
Of these, we recommend the full-course omakase which costs 8,000 baht since it gives 18 bites of the best sushi dishes this capital city has to offer.
Pro Tip:
Our favorite was the kuro awabi. You must dip it in their special liver sauce for an explosion of flavors.

Moreover, this place’s signature menu is based on traditional Kaiseki Ryori which makes it one of the more unique omakase experiences in Bangkok. They have a Standard Kaiseki Omakase and Premium Kaiseki Omakase menu.
The latter option is the most notable since it includes 3 starters, 5 sashimi, a chef’s choice grilled dish, 7 sushi, and 3 desserts. Though the restaurant opens daily, the Kaiseki Omakase is only available from Wednesdays to Sundays at 6:30 p.m.
