Ootoya Washoku

Ok, usually I try NOT to write about chain, corporate restaurants.  However, I have to give Ootoya a nod.  This Washoku style (everday japanese cuisine) restaurant chain is so consistent, and good that I feel it important to promote them here.  I personally eat there 3-4 times a week and it would be immensely hypocritical of me to not mention them.  Ootoyas singular focus is to deliver great quality at low prices-VALUE!

You'll see japanese businessmen, japanese families, and many many middle-upper class thais eat here.

They have curry udon, great hot/cold soba, awesome grilled fish bentos, tonkatsu, japanese fried chicken, and marinated tuna sashimi among many other sets.

The prices are unbelievably affordable as well.  You can eat lunch or dinner there for under 200 baht.  So, short and sweet you can't go wrong here and whether you are visiting or living in Bangkok you will love the quality at Ootoya.  

Ootoya is at most malls, and shopping centers throughout central Bangkok.  J-Avenue Tong lor; Emporium 5th Fl, Paragon ground floor are some specific locations.
