The best prawn tempura tempura in my life.

Chong Nonsi isn't popular station for tourists, because it is settled at the center of business center, so it doesn't have much tourists spots around here. However, if you want to come to "Wat Sri Maha Umadevi" via BTS, you can choose to drop here, or drop at Surasak station.

If you come at lunch time, and didn't have the meal yet, I recommend you to stop at Chong Nonsi more. Because there are many good restaurants around the station. You can go to "W hotel" to have lunch branch buffet, or choose to have fresh Chinese seafood at "Hai Ba Wang" restaurant, additionally, the best tempura in Bangkok at "The Japan Restaurant" at Sathron Thani building.

It's quite a secret not only for foreigner, but also the native, who didn't work in this area. But for the people around here, the restaurant is quite famous in the flavor of the food and the price. When compare with most Japanese food chain brands in Thailand, The Japan restaurant serve you with the same or higher quality of food with the same or lower price. And the signature dish, which many of my friends, who love Japanese food, and I recommend to you is "the Prawn tempura". (a la carte for 190 THB, and set for 210 THB)

This is the Prawn tempura set at the price of 210 THB. (side dish menu may be changed day by day.)

Both a la carte and set come with five of prawn tempura, while in the set you will get a bowl of rice, miso soup, side dish, and Japanese pickle, in addition. the prawn outer surface is very crunchy, while inside is soft and full of flavor. Moreover, when you put the prawn into the sauce, which is the mixture of the Japanese tempura sauce and the marsh white radish, it make the peel become more sweet and rise the taste of the prawn inside to become fantastic.

To access the restaurant, I recommend you to come via BTS or taxi more than by personal car, especially in the weekday. Because Sathron Thani building is quite busy business building, so the parking lots are very limit, but it will be fine if you come dinner or at weekend. if you come by car, the parking entrance is on the Sathorn road, and please remember that visitor parking is only on the ground. (please don't go into parking building.) If you come via BTS, please drop at Chong Nonsi station and follow the direction below.
