Kensho Omakase

About Kensho Omakase

Kensho Omakase is a high-end Japanese omakase restaurant at 93 Soi Sukhumvit 26 in Khlong Tan, a short ride from Phrom Phong. Wongnai reviewers describe a striking, stylish room with luxury-brand touches in the decor. Several say the setting is a big part of the draw.

The cooking is Edo-style omakase with some fusion. The fish is seasonal and flown in from Japan, and the courses change every month. The Miki Course runs 16 courses at 5,490 baht plus tax and service, so expect well over 1,000 baht a head.

This suits a special-occasion date, like an anniversary or a birthday. Most of the evening happens at the counter as the chef serves each course, which gives you plenty to talk about. Book ahead: reviewers say it is often full, and it opens daily from noon to 9pm.
