BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET
.
Since 1877
Japanese food is one of my favorite cuisine. In recent years sashimi (raw fish) is no valentine's to me, therefore I go for the subtle taste cooked food that made Japan cuisine shine and fly.
I like baked rice. No matter it is Hong Kong's clay-pot-baked rice or Japanese tin-pot-baked rice (Kamameshi), I love them all. Uta-andon is where I can enjoy kamameshi in Bangkok, also (almost) one of the cheapest deal, and of course authentic.
I don't like udon (Japanese round-thick wheat flour noodle). Uta-andon's conquers me. Indeed movie director Mikio Naruse's 1943 movie "Uta-andon 哥行燈" that based on the novel of famous novelist Kyoka Izumi after the name of the restaurant was inspired by the delectable Uta-andon's udon. A visit to Uta-andon without a bowl of its fresh-made udon in dashi, shoyu and mirin broth is no complete with a meal.
Founded 1877 in Japan, Uta-andon arrived to Bangkok in 1992, has more than kamameshi and udon to offer.

I guess this branch of Emporium is better than that one of Isetan. I used to go to the Emporium branch 7-8 years ago. Goodorf!
true, i think the Emporium branch do much better than the Isetan one
I tried the baked rice in AOI before, but never go to Uta-andon. Will go next time.

Uta-andon has delicious grilled prawn and squid, with garlic. Last time I ate at the Isetan shop with Charles.
Next time go to Thailand I know where to eat kamameshi baked rice.
Besides baked rice, their bento and tempura are nice too. :)
Sam, AOI quality is not as good as usual, and the kamameshi is quite expensive; next time u try Uta-andon la, and u will never go back to AOI
yes, Uta-andon tempura and bento set (good price) and grilled stuffs r very good
btw, Kabuki's stone-pot baked eel rice is good too, both good quality and price; need to notice that the Paragon branch is doing better than the Central World branch
:)
AOI? Still there?
yes tough suppose not to, the Silom Soi 6 is worse than Mc, but the Emporium branch is still okay quality
