Hey foodies! I recently stumbled upon this incredible spot on Surawong, and trust me, you need to add it to your Bangkok food list. I'm talking about Shakarich Surawong, a place that truly lives up to its 'super viral' reputation for a reason. If you're anything like me and appreciate a blend of authentic Japanese flavors with a touch of elegance, keep reading! What immediately caught my eye about Shakarich Surawong, and something I later learned from their signage (like "個室和食 しがリッチ"), is their specialty in private room Japanese cuisine. This isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. Imagine stepping into a serene space, away from the bustling Bangkok streets, where you can enjoy your meal in a beautifully designed private tatami room. It felt so exclusive and perfect for everything from a romantic date night to a quiet business dinner, or even a relaxed gathering with friends where you can actually hear each other talk! The privacy really enhances the dining experience, making it feel extra special. Now, let's talk about the food – because that's what we're really here for, right? My taste buds are still dreaming about what I had! I started with their Premium Sashimi Moriawase (around ฿1,200), which was an absolute work of art. Each slice of fish – from melt-in-your-mouth tuna to delicate scallops – was incredibly fresh and presented impeccably. You could tell the quality was top-notch. Next, I ventured into their hot dishes, and the Truffle Wagyu Sushi (approx. ฿550 per piece) was a revelation. The tender, perfectly seared Wagyu, kissed with truffle oil, literally dissolved in my mouth. It’s a splurge, but totally worth it for the unique flavor profile. I also tried their Ebi Tempura (around ฿450), which was light, crispy, and perfectly non-greasy – just how tempura should be! For those who love a comprehensive experience, I saw many opting for their Omakase sets, which looked divine. If you're feeling adventurous and want the chef to surprise you with seasonal delicacies, that's definitely the way to go. The menu is quite extensive, offering everything from classic sushi and sashimi to grilled dishes, hot pots, and even exquisite desserts. The service was impeccable too. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and they were very knowledgeable about the menu, happy to offer recommendations. The ambiance in the private rooms was calming and sophisticated, with subtle Japanese decor that made you feel transported. Overall Rating: After my visit, I'd honestly give Shakarich Surawong a solid 4.8/5 stars! It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and dining experience to this extent.
