This new retro game cafe takes us back to our childhood. With its walls decked out with old-school Mario wallpaper, The Plays offers the chance to get reacquianted with the much-loved Famicom, Super Famicom and Playstation 1-3 consoles.
Here, you will find classic Famicom titles like TinyToon...

If location is everything, we’re not sure why the owners of Steakhouse Co. opened what looks like a legitimate restaurant in the middle...
Thien Duong is one of the very few fine-dining Vietnamese restaurants in Bangkok. The decor is a lavish mix of Vietnamese antiques and classical decor. The menu takes all-time favorites--sugarcane skewer of shrimp and charcoal-grilled pork balls, crispy soft shell crab salad with herb dressing or...
Around for almost two decades, Tohkai is still going strong with its seven branches of yakiniku restaurants catering to both beef enthusiasts and the not-so-picky-but-very-hungry. With both an all-you-can eat and a-la-carte menu, you'll have to make an important choice: stuffing yourself with...
Putting a twist on your vision of a Japanese izakaya, Tokyo Neo serves easy bites, rolls, and bowls with an 80s retro vibe. Think old-school pop with anime artwork—a funky, vibrant vibe that pairs well with the colorful menu created by chef Goro Takatsu.

Nestled down a peaceful part of Saladaeng Soi 1, Touka resembles a Japanese house hidden in a bamboo garden. (Don’t mistake it for nearby Bitterman which also sits in a nice glasshouse facing...
This Yokahama-hailing chain doles out the kind of full-fat tonkotsu ramen that’s more typical of Southern Japan. It’s not the most mind-blowingly umami of versions, but we’ve had our share of decent bowls here in Thaniya (there’s another branch on Sukhumvit Soi 39). The pork-bone broth is...
Formerly called Keyaki, this Japanese outlet really feels like Japan. Not only is the decor reminiscent of some 1980s Tokyo hotel, the kaisekiryori also has a real Japanese taste. Unkai doesn’t try to be stylish or hip—no models’ nights—which is just the way we like it. It’s a great business lunch...
Located right next to its sister restaurants S&P and Maisen, this branch of Vanilla offers an intriguing focus on old-school Thai cuisine. As expected for the Vanilla brand, the décor is tastefully chic. The wood-dominated restaurant offers a Japanese-inspired vibe, while the menu is all about...
