The restaurant stands out easily as the only Japanese-style house in Ekkamai’s Acmen complex, Gen goes well beyond its grilled chicken-specializing sister to serve up a wider variety of meat grilled on binchotan charcoal. While the free-range chicken still stands as one of the stars (try the slightly-roasted breast with yuzu kosho paste), the restaurant also does some fine Japanese wagyu.

Acmen Complex, 267/31 Sukhumvit Soi 63 (Ekkamai). Mon 5-11pm; Wed-Fri 5-11pm; Sat-Sun 11:30am-2pm, 5-11pm
