When mentioning to Soi Thonglor 3 on Sukhumvit Road, many people might experience there. Splendid! It seems like Japan’s atmosphere with plenty of Japanese restaurants and variety of imported-goods shops for services! Each shop is exotically decorated by Japanese genre as “Japanese Village” in the know.

An easy and delightful Japanese dish that Thai people get most familiar with is “Ramen” known as Japanese noodle. Here, it’s all about noodles which till now Thais get used to it with hot soup—it’s still popular and delicious eatery’s dish. Along this dining service area is a well aware restaurant named “Yamakoya’s” ; running theme of delicious meal with 6 menus of Ramen. What’s more, they can promptly serve you with some fast dishes like fried rice, GiewZa--a well fried dumpling and Tongkatsu fried pork.

The wonderful menu that gets two thumps up is a “Yamakoya Ramen”—a soup Kyushu-styled noodle---boiled from pork bone turned with a well cooked whitish soup and added by roasted pork on the top, decorated along with a pork slice and medium rare boiled egg. Truly, it’s a tasty treat when is served with the warm or hot dish. The next perfect dish to say out loud is a fried dumpling “GiewZa”. Don’t ever miss it! The chef will do it on a special pan to cook for getting a crisp on the outside yet soft and a wonderfully runny on the inside. What about the price? Yes, really reasonable, just THB150-180 for each dish/bowl. Surprisingly, THB100 is for a price of GiewZa dish. Now, cheers!, it’s time for you…a happy hunting to find it at Yamakoya’s at 2 branches: Thonglor and Surawongse.
