Amazing. I travel the world for my work logging hundreds of thousands of miles. I can say - hands down - that this is my favorite restaurant worldwide. It's that good. Make a reservation because the huge queue outside this tiny establishment agrees that no one does it like Isao's. The Volcano appetizer leaves me licking the serving plate everytime... More

ISAO is my favourite sushi restaurant in the world. We've been there many times now and it is always delicious. Everything tastes amazing and the staff are very friendly.

The food here is simply to die for. On the 3 occasions I have been there, I had to wait for almost an hour to get a table each time.The wait was still worth it. The cold sake, the maki rolls, the soft shell crabs, the garlic rice, the tofu all just amazing. The best thing about this place is... More

Went here with a friend who lives in Bangkok. It would be impossible to have located this restaurant otherwise since it is small and not on a main road. but the locals know how good it is and that is fairly obvious by the lunch rush. It's great value for money and some of the best Japanese food and modern... More

This small restaurant has a good menu, more than 10 dishes which are my fav, especially Fried calamari, Boston roll and Spicy Salmon roll. Lunch time was the most critical for table however if you loved to visit this restaurant pls keep in mind that waiting area (outside the restuarant) could easily rise up to 38 celsius and might be...

I was with few of us going there for business... More

Isao is absoluteley my favorite japanese restaurant in BKK. The place is not really big and you can not book a table, just wait outside for a free seat, It´s always busy... I love see the sushi mans and the owner cooking all the food a la minute. My favorites dishes are Sandwich, jackie, rainbow. Isao is not really expensive,... More

We had a great meal at Isao. The fish was excellent, the rolls were terrific. All of the appetizers were great as well. We did have a bit of a wait for a table, and those who arrived just after us had to wait even longer. But we really enjoyed it. They even had a special kids plate and kids... More
