Sushi Juban Takumi Thonglor 寿司十番匠トンロー

Sit at the counter for the omakase, not in the private rooms, because the room is built for chef-guest exchange and the talk is half the value. Lead with one of the longer courses on a first visit so you read the full progression. Reserve via LINE @juban for the weekend slot you actually want.
You take a seat at the open counter and the chef is already at work, slicing seasonal fish flown in from Japan and plating each course in front of you. The Thonglor branch sits on Soi Phrom Phak just off Sukhumvit Soi 49, a short ride from BTS Thong Lo, in a room built around an open kitchen counter with private rooms tucked behind.
The omakase is the format. Lunch starts around 980 THB and the longer evening progressions run up to a 15-course set near 6,500 THB, with sushi, sashimi and grill work across the arc. Sister branches in Ekkamai run the same playbook.
Kitchen leans on ingredients imported from Japan, with seasonal items like Akami tuna and Hotaruika firefly squid appearing on the counter when in season. The delivery side, Juban Market, extends the same kitchen out to wagyu sets and other prepared plates for at-home dining.
Hours run 11:30 to midnight with last order 23:30, and the restaurant takes walk-ins on top of reservations, with car parking on site. Reservations and the main customer line go through LINE at @juban and the phone on +66 63 189 2440.
Book the counter, not the private room, and pick a course one tier longer than you think you want. The chef paces the meal to the length you commit to, and the longer progressions are where the seasonal items land. Bring one guest who reads sushi and one who does not, because the chef talk lifts the meal for both.
