Teppen Bangkok｜A Japanese Charcoal Grill Dining Experience in Chong Nonsi

Teppen is a Japanese restaurant I revisit every time I come to Bangkok. This visit felt even better than the last, with a noticeable improvement in food quality, especially in the attention to detail and mastery of cooking times. The restaurant is located in Chong Nonsi, conveniently situated with a comfortable environment. The decor continues the style of a Japanese izakaya, creating a lively yet refined atmosphere.

🔥 Recommended Dishes:
Wagyu Warayaki (Straw-Grilled Wagyu): Prepared using straw grilling, giving it a unique aroma. The beef is tender and juicy, with evenly distributed marbling that melts in your mouth. Paired with wasabi and sauce, the flavors are layered and the presentation is visually appealing.

Green Onion Pork Rolls: The outer layer is grilled to a slight crisp, wrapping fresh and sweet green onions inside the pork. The salty and savory taste with a herbal freshness makes it a perfect small dish to pair with sake.

Ankimo Burger (Monkfish Liver Burger): A rare creative combination, the monkfish liver paste is smooth and rich, paired with soft bread and fruity sauce. The texture is rich but not greasy, making it one of the restaurant’s signature dishes.

Deluxe Sashimi Platter: Featuring fresh ingredients like sea urchin, salmon, and Arctic surf clam, the meat is delicate and melts in your mouth. While not at the level of high-end sushi restaurants, the overall performance is stable and pairing it with sake enhances the flavor.

🎭 Entertainment and Atmosphere
That evening, the restaurant arranged an impromptu staff performance, including singing and interactive segments, creating a lively atmosphere. Although the performance leaned towards entertainment, you could feel the staff’s enthusiasm and joy. This adds value for some diners but might not suit those who prefer a quiet dining experience.

💰 Value and Overall Review
Teppen is on the pricier side, but considering the quality of ingredients, creative dishes, and entertaining atmosphere, it remains reasonable overall. It’s suitable for gatherings with friends, birthday celebrations, or those seeking a dinner experience that delights both visually and in taste. Whether for a lively party or a solo healing night, Teppen delivers satisfaction.
