Thanks for this. I love the Japanese restaurants off Sukhumvit between Phrom Phong and Ekkamai. They can offer excellent value and there's also some good little bars as well as enough different types of p4p options to keep us deviants busy. I'm not going to recommend any specific Japanese places just yet as I'll soon be back in Thonglor surrounded by those places so will have up to date information however there's one but of information I'll add to update a previous post of mine about Japanese restaurants in this area. In this thread about Japanese Izakayas I sneaked in a recommendation for one of my favourite cheap Japanese places. It's called Unatoto and specialises in grilled eel dishes at very good prices for big portions of delicious food.  I was really disappointed to read that it closed down 2 weeks ago before I could visit again to stuff my face (it's a place that makes me go into a feeding frenzy sometimes where I order a very optimistic quantity of food and somehow finish it every time).  The good news is that they've now relocated to the new Dusit Central Park which looks pretty fucking impressive to me anyway so I'll definitely have another reason to check out those awesome views a few times now. If that eel restaurant Unatoto is as good as in the old location my Mrs might soon get bored of me pretending to want to do daily romantic strolls in the park. As a quick tangent if any visitors or BMs haven't seen the new Dusit Central Park roof garden it's worth checking out, it looks pretty spectacular and it's free. The park is easily reachable from Nana as it's linked to Sala Daeng BTS.

@Genghis post about Amin Biryani has me reminiscing about the various restaurants I frequent in Bangkok so sharing my knowledge for other foodies on the board. My favourite Japanese restaurant in Bangkok is Yuna on Soi 11/1. It is not cheap but excellent, ridgy didge Japanese cuisine and lovely Thai staff who all speak Japanese. They giggle at me when I order in Japanese. it is not cheap. You can get a lunch special for about 350 Baht. Dinner time with beers I am usually spending over 1000 Baht. For cheapish Japanese - I found an awesome Japanese restaurant on Soi 24 called Ramen Ichiban (meaning Number 1 Ramen). While it specialises in Ramen noodle soups (170 - 220B per bowl) they do also have an extensive menu of what I call Japanese comfort food. Donburi bowls for around 200B, Katsu Curry 250B, Oyakodon 200B, Katsudon 200B. I think the best meal you can have there is a half bowl of ramen for 100b and a half portion of fried rice 100B. You may be able to get a cheaper Thai meal under 200B but if you into good Japanese food then this place is worth a visit. They serve complimentary oolong tea which they keep coming to give you refills. Every time I've been there, I'm the only Gaijin/Farang, with mostly Japanese business men scoofing down their lunch. It's located on the corner of the dodgy alley Soi 24/1 with loads of rub and tug / full service joints to enjoy before or after your meal! Just around the corner from Phrom Phong BTS Station. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SRCmAAC37EfRyxEy6  

We do have seriously good Yum Cha in Sydney. Better than Hong Kong in my opinion. Many of the top Dim Sum chefs in Hong Kong migrated to Australia before China took over.

Judging by your username I'll give that a go to as a recommendation. My yum cha love first began in Sydney and it'll always be something I associate with living there.

The only thing that makes it in any way bearable for me when he does that is the certain knowledge that deep down he regrets ever having started doing that stupid face and how much he must hate having to still do it every time.
