If you're talking about Edomae sushi that people around the world will wait months for a seat at, Sushi Saito, chef Takashi Saito's restaurant in Tokyo, is one of the first names that always comes up — the original there has held 3 MICHELIN stars for so long it's become legendary. The good news for Bangkok is that this restaurant's Thailand branch is now at the Four Seasons Private Residences, in the Charoen Krung riverside area along the Chao Phraya, with chef Makoto Maruyama running the counter. In the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026, the restaurant earned its first star, promoted up from MICHELIN Selected — well-deserved proof that the Bangkok branch isn't just riding on the original's name, but standing on its own skill.
The heart of this place is a full Edomae sushi omakase, served at a hinoki wood counter where the chef shapes each piece right in front of you, one bite at a time. One detail sushi lovers will notice immediately is the rice — they use Akita-variety rice, served still warm piece by piece so the temperature of the rice and fish match perfectly. As for the main ingredient, the fish is flown in directly from Japan several times a week, keeping the freshness on par with what you'd find in Tokyo. Courses are available depending on your budget and how serious you want to go — lunch starts at THB 5,800++, and if you want the course that includes uni, that moves up to THB 7,800++, while a full dinner runs around THB 10,500++. Compared to flying out and queuing for the original in Tokyo, lunch in Bangkok is a far more reachable way in.
One thing worth knowing before you go: this restaurant is genuinely hard to book. Counter seats are very limited, and Michelin itself notes the restaurant manages its own reservations — you have to book through TableCheck or call directly. Several reviews also mention that confirmation can take a few rounds of emails back and forth, so if you're planning to come, give yourself plenty of lead time. But once you're seated at that counter, all of that difficulty becomes a small thing, because this is a direct line to a Tokyo legend's Edomae experience that's genuinely hard to find in Thailand.
Sushi Saito
Budget to prepare: lunch omakase starts at THB 5,800++ (the course with uni included is THB 7,800++), and dinner runs around THB 10,500++ per person. If you want to try it at a lighter price, the lunch sitting is clearly better value than dinner. The restaurant is open Tuesday-Sunday, 12:00-14:00 and 18:00-22:00, with sittings at 12:00 / 18:00 / 19:45, and is closed on Mondays.
Booking is the biggest hurdle at this restaurant — counter seats are very limited. Book through TableCheck (the official channel) or call +66 85 550 0791, since the restaurant manages its own reservations, and confirmation may take a few rounds of email back and forth. Book as far ahead as you possibly can — don't wait until close to your date. Getting there: the restaurant is at Four Seasons Private Residences, Charoen Krung riverside, about a 12-minute walk from BTS Saphan Taksin, though if you'd rather skip the hot walk, a taxi or the hotel boat is more comfortable. First-timers on a moderate budget should pick a weekday lunch sitting and leave time afterward for a stroll along the Charoen Krung riverside.
