En (えん) Restaurant in Bangkok is widely praised for its authentic Japanese izakaya experience, characterized by a cozy, intimate setting with limited seating. Reviewers often highlight the exceptional quality and genuine flavors of the dishes, reflecting traditional Japanese culinary standards. The presence of friendly Japanese owners contributes to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While portions are generally considered modest, the food’s quality and variety make it well worth it. Advance reservations are strongly recommended due to the small size and popularity of the venue. Some feedback notes limited parking, but overall, En excels as a reasonably priced, authentic dining option favored for its unique ambiance and carefully crafted menu.

It's really a hidden place with limited seats. Great food with a Japanese owner always on the spot. It really has the taste of local. Advanced reservation is highly needed to avoid disappointment. This location is much smaller than the one in Onnut.

En Restaurant is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Bangkok. It has a wide variety of dishes on the menu, all of which are delicious. The restaurant is also very affordable, especially when compared to other izakayas. Booking is recommended, as the restaurant is often full.

The best! I really love this place! Delicious in all dishes I ordered especially Beef tongue steak. You should try. Beef udon is really good. The restaurant feels like you’re eating in Japanese house. I recommended you to book in advance because there are limited seats there. The restaurant owner is so nice and friendly!

My favorite izakaya so far in Bangkok. The place is small and run by Japanese owners. The portion of each plate is decent and enough for 4 people unlike most ikakaya places. Prices are decent too for the portion. Food is also great. Our recommended dishes are grilled hotate on seaweed, grilled miso pork and beef tongue steak. The only downside was limited parking space.

-Laid back Japanese restaurant located in the residential area where even the restaurant feels like a cozy home. - lady boss was very friendly and warm especially after I spoke to her in my broken Japanese - Food was exceptional; it looks simple but done so well. The menu is very extensive and it even extends out to a chalk board with their specials which was the stewed beef I got. It's written in Japanese but you can just use Google lens! My only regret is not having a second stomach to try more dishes!

Added!! to my FAV Japanese restaurant. Delicious Food, Great Atmosphere, and Friendly Prices This small restaurant feels just like dining in Japan, with many Japanese customers adding to the authentic atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the desserts are amazing. Prices are reasonable, and the staff are very friendly. It’s best to call ahead and reserve a table.
