Bangkok Shokudo (Japanese restaurants)

Hidden away on the basement level of the United Center Building, the two-week-old Bangkok Shokudo is a new concept restaurant replacing the former resident, Tokyo Shokudo, which used to serve Japanese lunch sets. The focus now is on lunch-friendly Thai food served up with a few twists and a Japanese aesthetic. The restaurant comes under the umbrella of the S&P brand whose boss Patra Sila-on says that they’re looking to stick close to Thai food’s original taste and form while revamping its presentation with Japanese style crockery. They also plan to open a branch of Bangkok Shokudo in Japan.
