These are Bangkok's best Japanese restaurants for budget sushi
The city's top restaurants for a feast of sushi, maki and sashimi that won't break the bank.
This sushi mecca sells a wide range of high-quality fish flown in weekly from Toyosu market. The sashimi platter is a must-try, featuring two types of tuna, salmon, octopus, surf clams, hamachi and more. We also love the grilled razor clams in soy sauce and the unagi dragon roll.
17, 19 Thonglor Soi 23 , 02-185-1447. Open daily 11am-10pm

Getting a seat at this phenomenally successful little chain of sushi restaurants always comes with a long wait, but you’ll understand why when you discover just how chunky the cuts of fresh sashimi are, or how crispy and rich the unagi is, or how crunchy and juicy the rolls are. Take your number, wait in line, and know that the end results are always worth it.
983 Bang Na-Trat Rd., 062-556-6266. Open daily 11am-10pm
The sushi arm of this sushi-and-yakiniku specialist lets you try the omakase (chef’s selection) experience at a fraction of the usual cost. You still get a calming environment of cypress wood and an L-shaped counter where chefs slice and prep, but your eight-to-13 course meals will come in well under B3,000. Ingredients arrive from Japan three times a week.
3/F, CentralWorld, 999/9 Rama I Rd., 065-731-4844. Open daily 11am-10pm
Owned by the same team behind the popular yakiniku (barbeque) joint Niku-King, Sushi Hiro sports a Japanese fisherman village-inspired décor and serves up fresh, handmade sushi. Splurge on chutoro (fatty tuna) or taraba crab, or choose more pocket-friendly freshwater eel, sea bream and salmon.
899 Phahonyothin Rd, 065-715-3307. Open daily 11am-10pm
Thanks to reasonable prices and quality on par with Japanese-frequented sushi bars, reservations here are a must. But unlike the stiff, sullen operations along Sukhumvit, there’s something eminently approachable about Sushi Masa’s big picture menus, relaxed staff and cheerful chefs behind the counter.
Siam Sawana Hotel, 359/1 Soi Phayanak, Petchburi Rd., 02-168-5214. Open daily 10:30am-10pm

Put on your stretchy pants, forget about the macros and tuck in to BK Best Eats 2019. This is the Bangkok dining that ignores fancy restaurants and 10-course tasting menus and goes straight for the comfort food—steaming bowls of fat-rich ramen, triple-decker burgers, all-you-can-eat dim sum buffets with an extra helping of pork buns. In other words, the stuff most of us eat out, most of the time.
