A tray arrives with neatly arranged slices of Wagyu, the marbling clearly visible against the dark plate, and the staff lay the first pieces on the mesh so you can see the timing they want.\n\nThis is a sumibi yakiniku room, built on charcoal rather than gas. The set menus are where regulars steer first-timers, and they fan out across price points without ever quite leaving Wagyu territory. The Kizuna set bundles four premium cuts with over 260 grams of Wagyu in one order, and most groups of two or three start there because it removes the ordering problem entirely. The Tsuki set leans on flower-cut beef tongue, a presentation cut where the slice is scored into a chrysanthemum pattern before grilling. Fuku and Rin pair A5 Wagyu with sirloin selections at a tighter price. There are lighter sets too, including a 10mm-thick Wagyu cut on the Musubi set and an entry-level offal-and-Wagyu plate on Irodori, so a table of mixed appetites can land without overspending.\n\nThe room sits at 12 Soi Sukhumvit 31 in Watthana, a short walk in from the Sukhumvit Road end. That puts you closer to Phrom Phong BTS than to Asoke. It is a soi-side location, not a mall floor, so the ventilation is straightforward and you will leave smelling faintly of charcoal smoke. Wear something washable.\n\nGo at lunch the first time. The sets price lower, the grill counter is calmer, and you get a clean read on the meat quality before committing to a full Kizuna run at dinner.","our_take":"If you want one Bangkok yakiniku room where the Wagyu-to-baht ratio actually surprises you, this is the one to send people to first. Order the Kizuna set for four cuts in one go, add the flower-cut tongue, and let someone else manage the grill. Lunch sets are the quietest way in.","custom_description":null,"hook":"Sumibi-grilled Japanese yakiniku on Soi 31, a few minutes north of Phrom Phong BTS, built around premium Wagyu cuts at prices that stay closer to neighborhood-restaurant than special-occasion. The kitchen sends out tongue, sirloin, harami and A5 sets you grill yourself over charcoal at the table.","meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_image":null,"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","canonical_url":null,"is_featured":false,"is_verified":true,"amenities":["Bar on site","Toilet","Service options: Outdoor seating","Service options: Drive-through","Service options: On-site services","Service options: Takeaway","Service options: Dine-in","Offerings: Alcohol","Offerings: Beer","Offerings: Cocktails","Offerings: Coffee","Offerings: Happy-hour drinks","Offerings: Healthy options","Offerings: Late-night food","Offerings: Quick bite","Offerings: Small plates","Offerings: Spirits","Offerings: Vegetarian options","Offerings: Wine","Dining options: Breakfast","Dining options: Brunch","Dining options: Lunch","Dining options: Dinner","Dining options: Catering","Dining options: Dessert","Dining options: Seating","Dining options: Table service","Highlights: Great beer selection","Highlights: Great cocktails","Highlights: Great coffee","Highlights: Great dessert","Highlights: Great tea selection","Highlights: Rooftop seating","Crowd: Family friendly","Crowd: Groups","Crowd: LGBTQ+ friendly","Crowd: Tourists","Crowd: Transgender safe space","Crowd: University students","Parking: Free of charge street parking","Parking: Free parking lot"],"property_specs":null,"features":{"Pets":{"Dogs allowed":true,"Dogs allowed inside":true},"Crowd":{"Groups":true,"Tourists":true,"Family friendly":true,"LGBTQ+ friendly":true,"University students":true,"Transgender safe space":true},"Other":{"LGBTQ+ friendly":true},"Parking":{"Free parking lot":true,"Free of charge street parking":true},"Children":{"Kids' menu":true,"High chairs":true,"Good for kids":true},"Payments":{"Debit cards":true,"Credit cards":true,"NFC mobile payments":true},"Planning":{"Accepts reservations":true},"Amenities":{"Toilet":true,"Bar on site":true},"Offerings":{"Beer":true,"Wine":true,"Coffee":true,"Alcohol":true,"Spirits":true,"Cocktails":true,"Quick bite":true,"Small plates":true,"Healthy options":true,"Late-night food":true,"Happy-hour drinks":true,"Vegetarian options":true},"Atmosphere":{"Cosy":true,"Quiet":true,"Casual":true,"Trendy":true},"Highlights":{"Great coffee":true,"Great dessert":true,"Great cocktails":true,"Rooftop seating":true,"Great tea selection":true,"Great beer selection":true},"Popular for":{"Lunch":true,"Dinner":true,"Breakfast":true,"Solo dining":true},"Accessibility":{"Wheelchair-accessible toilet":true,"Wheelchair-accessible seating":true,"Wheelchair-accessible car park":false},"Dining options":{"Lunch":true,"Brunch":true,"Dinner":true,"Dessert":true,"Seating":true,"Catering":true,"Breakfast":true,"Table service":true},"Service options":{"Dine-in":true,"Takeaway":true,"Drive-through":true,"Outdoor seating":true,"On-site services":true}},"attributes":{},"faq_items":[],"ai_generated_image":false,"street_view_image":null,"owner_uploaded_image":null,"has_real_photo":false,"image_source":"removed_pending_placeholder","image_generated_at":null,"menu_link":null,"line_id":null,"google_maps_url":"https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Island+Restaurant+Thai+food+%26+Vegetarian+And+Bar./@13.763558,100.50033599999999,14z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sThe+Island+Restaurant+Thai+food+%26+Vegetarian+And+Bar.!3m4!1s0x30e2990005a48005:0xf3fa631561bb4d32!8m2!3d13.763558!4d100.50033599999999","subscription_tier":"free","description_generated_at":null,"content_status":"approved","focus_keyword":null,"wifi_available":null,"created_at":"2026-02-20T13:19:31.870Z","owner_verified_at":null}
