Tucked away in the charming neighbourhood of Ekkamai, Gen Japanese Charcoal Grill Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place you know is authentic the moment you walk in when you see Japanese diners filling the tables, you’re in the right spot.
The meats here are nothing short of outstanding. Char-grilled to perfection over smoky Japanese charcoal, the duck is succulent and rich, while the wagyu beef simply melts in your mouth. And while the grill is the star, don’t overlook the sashimi which is fresh, silky, and every bit as good as what you’d find in a top Tokyo sushi bar.
I visited during lunch and found the ambience calm and intimate, making it a perfect escape from the city buzz. The staff were warm, attentive, and wonderfully professional, adding to the feeling that you’ve been transported straight to Japan.
Overall, Gen is an exceptional spot for anyone who appreciates quality Japanese cuisine, a place where every detail from the food to the service is done with care. A true Ekkamai gem worth revisiting again and again.
