Sushi Masato

Japanese omakase

Upscale On Soi Sawasdee 1, off Soi 31
Michelin Star

Masato Shimizu trained in New York before bringing his counter to a quiet lane off Soi 31, and the result is one of the hardest reservations in the city. Fish comes from Tokyo’s Toyosu market, the rice is warm and loosely packed, and the omakase moves at the chef’s pace.

It has held a Michelin star since 2021 and earns it without spectacle, just precise work and a meal people plan a trip around.

What to order

The full omakase. Watch for the uni in season.

Good to know

  • One Michelin star
  • Counter seating, book ahead
  • Set omakase, roughly 4,000 to 6,000 THB

Stay on the soi

Wake up in the middle of it all

Most of Soi 31 is a taxi ride from where visitors usually sleep. Public House is the one design hotel right on the street, so the coffee, the dinners and the bars on this list are already on your doorstep.
