Hiso Sushi
33 Soi Phahonyothin 5, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400
Hiso Sushi earns its loyal crowd by stacking the buffet with genuinely premium ingredients, including foie gras, sweet shrimp, and otoro, without inflating the bill to absurdity. A short walk from BTS Ari Exit 1, the spot is reachable by rail and runs both a la carte and multi-tier buffet formats daily from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, making it equally useful for a long weekday lunch or a late weekend dinner.
You arrive at 33 Soi Phahonyothin 5 and immediately understand why the queue forms early. Hiso Sushi pitches itself at a level most Phaya Thai neighbourhood joints do not reach, offering both a la carte and a tiered all-you-can-eat buffet that starts around 1,070 baht per person and climbs to a Super Premium tier at 3,990 baht++ that unlocks unlimited otoro and chu-toro sashimi. The entry buffet already covers far more than most Bangkok Japanese restaurants bother to attempt: foie gras nigiri arrives in generous pieces, grilled eel comes in thick, well-glazed cuts, and sweet shrimp appears alongside a rotation of salmon, tuna, and engawa. Signature a la carte highlights include a salmon foie gras rice bowl built on eight to nine thick salmon slices with a seared foie gras portion, salmon roe, and a sweet-savory glaze, and the Salmon Belly Roll, topped with salmon roe and finished in tempura powder and two-toned shrimp roe. The restaurant sits in a compound off the main road, five minutes on foot from BTS Ari Exit 1, with private parking inside the complex. Hours run daily from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, and the kitchen accepts QR-code orders for the buffet format. A complimentary miso soup greets each table at the start of the meal, and free ice cream closes it out after the bill is settled. The venue runs periodic promotional discounts of 30 to 50 percent on salmon menus and other items, so checking the Facebook page before visiting can yield a meaningful saving. The crowd skews local, knowledgeable, and repeat: the 4.4 Google rating across nearly 1,800 reviews reflects a genuinely satisfied regular base rather than tourist curiosity.
