Kinjo Okinawa Restaurant

Bangkokians love Japanese food. And for something different, this charming izakaya is one of very few places serving traditional dishes from the tropical Okinawa prefecture of Japan (think tofu and seaweed, among other Japanese staples). Popular orders include: Kinjo shabu, Okinawa soba, Rafute Okinawan-style glazed pork and goya Okinawa (bitter melon stir-fried in Okinawan sauce). Not only is the food unique; its second floor, known as Livecube, is also a concert space that occasionally hosts intimate gigs from local and international indie acts.

Nikko Cafe

This Zen-inspired coffee shop is a young and always happening spot that’s as much a daytime work-spot as it is a night-time hangout. The wood-dominated two-story venue has all the feeling of a comfy home office, with the added bonus of a large outdoor space. Drop by for drinks or a bite from the similarly expansive menu which covers sandwiches, udon and Thai favorites.

Akiyoshi

This is another nice option for a satisfying Japanese meal. This sukiyaki chain offers one of the best-quality and value- for-money suki experiences in Bangkok. The staff will just help you choose your tabletop cooking method: shabu shabu, which is a ceramic pot filled with water, or sukiyaki, which is a shallow, flat pan. We say opt for the all-you-can eat meat platter.

Khaotom Kraduk Mu

As for the Thai food scene, Sukhumvit 71 has plenty of street stalls lined up throughout the area. Khaotom Kraduk Mu Sukhumvit Soi 71 is one of the most highly recommended spots in town. The stall has grown a huge reputation over 40 years for its specialty rice soup. Don’t miss the bestselling rice soup with pork ribs, rice soup with fish, deepfried mackerel in fish sauce and pork satay.

Mapo Galbi

This Korean yakiniku chain has spread its branches around the world, from Los Angeles, California, to Thailand. Here you’ll find classic Korean dishes done well like pork samgabsal, kimchi jjigae and bibimbap, along with plenty of Korean soju. The pocket-friendly prices are a bonus.

Cielo Sky Bar & Restaurant

Located on the 46th floor of Le Luk Condominium, this sky-high bar was rebranded from the previous Zeppelin Bar.
