Kanori Embassy

About Kanori Embassy

Kanori Hand Roll Bar at Central Embassy is a branch of the Bangkok group that calls itself the city's first hand roll bar. It is on the 5th floor of Central Embassy on Ploenchit Road. You sit at a counter and watch the chefs roll each temaki, then eat it straight away. Reviewers also mention city views from part of the dining area.

The menu is Japanese hand rolls, sold one at a time or in sets. A 7-roll set costs about ฿1,290, and single rolls run from about ฿130 for avocado truffle to ฿570 for the lobster bomb. Blue crab is the roll people praise most. Most diners spend ฿500-1,000+ per person, and Wongnai puts it in its top price band.

The counter makes it a good date: you sit side by side, share a set and watch every roll being made. It works for a lunch or dinner before a walk around Central Embassy or Chit Lom. Book ahead through TableCheck or LINE. Seats in the view zone are limited to one hour, and sets can leave big eaters hungry.

Why it works for a date

• Very fresh fish rolled to order
• Crispy nori and warm rice
• Standout blue crab roll
• Fun counter seating where you watch the chef

Good to be aware of

• Expensive for the portion size, and VAT is added
• Smaller sets may leave you hungry
• View zone seating limited to 1 hour
