# Five Japanese restaurants to try in Bangkok

For a central omakase, start with Sushi Misaki Nobu. For a more relaxed evening near Sukhumvit 39, consider Sasaya or Masa Garden. The first three entries follow the published BKK Lifestyle ranking. The last two come from the guide’s individual reviews. [BKK Lifestyle Japanese restaurant ranking](https://bkklifestyle.com/categorie/japanese)

## 1. Sushi Misaki Nobu, a counter dinner in Asoke

BKK Lifestyle places the counter at GMM Grammy Place on Sukhumvit 21. Its review points to precise work and a small, personal dining setting. Choose it when watching the chef is the main event and everyone can arrive together. Confirm the address and the service time when booking.

## 2. Karawa Omakase for aged fish

Karawa is on Prasert-Manukit in Lat Phrao. The BKK Lifestyle review calls out aged fish, the red vinegar used for the rice and freshly grated wasabi. Give the restaurant an evening of its own. If you are coming from Sukhumvit, leave time for the drive before your reservation. [Karawa Omakase review](https://bkklifestyle.com/categorie/japanese/japanese-karawa-omakase)

## 3. Shi Shi Chi for a quiet dinner near Phrom Phong

BKK Lifestyle notes the quiet dining room and careful cooking. This works well when you want a conversation over dinner. If your hotel or meeting is near Phrom Phong, it also keeps the evening in one part of Bangkok. [Shi Shi Chi review](https://bkklifestyle.com/categorie/japanese/japanese-shi-shi)

## 4. Sasaya for small plates at an izakaya

Sasaya offers a different kind of Japanese dinner on Sukhumvit 39. The review describes booths, sashimi and grilled dishes. Choose it to share plates at your own pace. If the seating matters, ask whether a booth is available for your group. [Sasaya review](https://bkklifestyle.com/categorie/japanese/healthy-sasaya)

## 5. Masa Garden for sukiyaki in a garden setting

Also on Sukhumvit 39, Masa Garden has a garden and food meant to be shared around the table, including sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. Ask which seats face the garden if you are choosing the venue for that setting. [Masa Garden review](https://bkklifestyle.com/categorie/japanese/japanese-masa-garden)

If you land on the day of dinner, keep the first evening in one district. A fixed omakase seating works best with a buffer after arrival.
