Order the grilled oysters first. Three come to the table for ฿178, which is honest pricing for a BTS-adjacent izakaya that stays open past midnight. The beef rice bowl (฿398) is the move if you want one substantial plate before the small-plate rotation begins. Built for groups who drink.

You step off Sukhumvit into a two-story Japanese izakaya where the grilling happens in front of you, hamayaki style. That is the traditional method Japanese fishermen use: seafood over portable stoves, high heat, minimal fuss. The kitchen lists Hokkaido grilled pork, karaage chicken, mixed grilled vegetables, and crab stick miso alongside the sushi and sashimi rotation.

The menu runs wide. Over 300 food and drink items, from five-piece mixed sushi sets to genmai rice bowls to the grilled oysters that come three to an order for ฿178. The special beef rice bowl sits at ฿398. Late-night food service stretches to midnight daily, and the bar on site pours beer, spirits, and sake to match the small-plate tempo.

Kenzo Suisan operates three branches across Bangkok. The Sukhumvit 33 location anchors the corner where the soi meets the main road, a short walk from Phrom Phong BTS on the EmQuartier side. Paid parking is available at the UBC2 building. The room handles groups well, with table service and counter seating both in play. Reservations are recommended for dinner, especially Friday and Saturday when the upstairs fills with event bookings and the ground floor compresses.

The atmosphere skews casual. This is not a quiet izakaya. The stoves run hot, the staff call orders across the room, and the ceiling fans work harder than the air conditioning when the place is full. If you come solo, take the counter and watch the grill action. If you come with three or more, book ahead and order the hamayaki sharing sets to anchor the table.
