About a 2 years ago, Takeshi gold opened beside Fat Boy Tavern. I went with the staff for Christmas 2021 and I was really impressed : That is quality and not the traditional buffet.
We picked the most expensive one (not sure, I think it was 699 baht) and it’s all you can eat for about 1.5 or 2 hours. You picked the dishes on the menu and they have really everything, sushi, sashimi, crab, fish, salads, soups, tempura, name it. Fresh and delicious.
Yes — Korat has a growing Japanese food scene, partly due to the Toyota and Honda manufacturing plants in the region that bring Japanese expats and business visitors. Takeshi Gold is one of the more notable Japanese buffet options. Japanese-Thai fusion and authentic shabu-shabu/yakiniku restaurants have also opened in recent years.
What is typically included in a Japanese buffet in Thailand?
Thai-Japanese buffet restaurants typically offer: sushi and sashimi, maki rolls, gyoza, edamame, tempura, ramen or udon, karaage (fried chicken), yakiniku (grilled meat), and desserts. Quality varies — look for restaurants with high ingredient turnover to ensure fresh fish.
Why has Japanese food become so popular in Thailand?
Japanese cuisine has been enormously popular in Thailand for decades, driven by the large Japanese business community (especially in industrial provinces like Korat), Thai-Japanese cultural affinity, and the expansion of Thai-Japanese restaurant chains. Japan is Thailand’s largest bilateral investor, and the cultural exchange extends deeply into food and media.
How much does a Japanese buffet typically cost in provincial Thailand?
In provincial cities like Korat, a Japanese buffet typically costs 299–499 THB per person for lunch, and 399–599 THB for dinner (drinks usually excluded). Prices are significantly lower than Bangkok Japanese restaurants of comparable quality. Check individual restaurants for current pricing.
