Bangkok is famous for its food but this is something out of the ordinary. This restaurant has never let me down once since my first visit a couple of years ago. ISAO sushi is not the normal kind of sushi. Instead, it is a result of creativity, which is delicious and some times crunchy. The service is good and friendly... More

Simple, cute local place with very unusual maki rolls (including famous 'sushi sandwich') which are fresh tasting and delicious. I felt comfortable eating alone at the counter. Place was full on a Saturday evening with a low key but nice buzz. Service was a little confused by wait staff but chefs were super efficient. Overall loved the place! More

This is the best Japanese food I've had in Bangkok. The Sashimi is fresh, the salads are amazing and the Sushi rolls are the most inventive and delicious I have seen anywhere, including Tokyo. I love bringing people here because they are guaranteed to become regulars. Just go now. More

I always love visiting this restaurant... great sushi rolls and salads. Its not truly authentic Japanese as you would find in Japan, but more like the Japanese you would find in the USA, which is nice when one is an expat looking for a taste of home! More
