Kaizen Sushi & Hibachi Restaurant
If it’s a busy restaurant then it means it’s good. Make sure you book your table in advance (Phone number – +66 2 215 2972 Time – 11 am to 11 pm). Definitely not a place for romance, but a great place for food lovers. It’s busy and rather small as compared to other restaurants. Although, the restaurant is always busy that doesn’t affect the chef’s quality cooking a single bit. Food is great here and my personal recommendation would be rolls.
