About Kozue Omakase Samyan
Kozue Omakase Samyan is a small Japanese omakase counter in the U-Center 1 building on Soi Chula 15, near Samyan and Chulalongkorn University. Kozue has other branches in Thonglor, Sathorn and Ratchaphruek. Wongnai reviewers say this branch seats about ten people around a counter where you can watch the chef work.
Meals are set courses. According to Wongnai there is a 12-course lunch for 990++ baht (Monday to Thursday only), a 14-course standard course for 1,690++ and a premium course for 2,890++. Reviewers mention uni with truffle, hamachi, scallop with caviar and toro topped with gold leaf. They describe the style as omakase fusion, adjusted to Thai tastes.
The small counter and course-by-course pacing make for a quiet, focused date where the two of you can watch every piece being made. The weekday lunch course is a lower-priced way to try omakase together. With so few seats, book ahead.
Why it works for a date
- Fresh, high-quality raw fish
- Beautiful presentation
- Attentive counter service
- Good-value weekday lunch course
Good to be aware of
- Only about 10 seats, so book ahead
- Fusion style may not suit omakase purists
- Few reviews so far (10 on Wongnai)
