Jidori Cuisine Ken

A truly outstanding Japanese free-range chicken specialty restaurant. They source incredibly fresh local chicken and grill it to perfection over binchotan charcoal, delivering deep aroma and flavor. Founded in Bangkok in 2006, the restaurant relocated to Asok on December 19, 2025 and continues to impress with its unwavering quality. Beyond their expertly grilled charcoal dishes, almost everything is house-made, from dressings to even the ice cream — a testament to their dedication. The alcohol selection is extensive and pairs beautifully with the food. Although it may look small from the outside, the restaurant offers around 120 seats, well-equipped private rooms, and a beautifully designed interior. Wonderful atmosphere, extremely comfortable, and exceptional chicken dishes — a must-visit spot for anyone who loves great Japanese cuisine in Bangkok.

The food was generally delicious. The cold tofu, in particular, had a rich flavor you can’t find at other places—it was excellent. The Japanese custard pudding I had for dessert was also very tasty. The staff provided excellent service, and the restaurant has many private rooms, making it a very comfortable space. However, the area near the stairs going up to the second floor next to the first-floor restroom had an unpleasant sewage smell. I think this should be improved.

Jidori is one of the favorite izakaya and yakitori in Bangkok and I'm a regular customer for more than 13 years. The food is very consistent and great. Yakitori is good but not best in town anymore due to the amount of high-end yakitori restaurants in town. A great Japanese izakaya restaurant in Sukhumvit area.

Wonderful Japanise grill restaurant. It moved from soi 26 to soi 23 but still the best in town.

Jidori is an undiscovered treasure – I had no idea such a fantastic restaurant existed here. Booking can be a challenge since they don't answer the phone during the day; opening at 5, calling around 4:30pm might secure your reservation. Moving on to the main course, the grilled chicken lives up to its stellar reputation and is undeniably worth its price. Personally, the standout for me was the sake combination set, perfect for someone new to this realm. Lastly, the dessert – the green tea ice cream was incredibly rich and a true indulgence.

Great food, friendly service. I loved the grilled rice. The yuzu chicken thigh was a real highlight- great flavour combination with well cooked meat. The tomato was nothing special but everything else we ordered was superb.

After 3 They moved from Soi 26 to Soi cowboy. Before the move, they grilled each skewer individually, but now they seem to serve them all at once. As a result, when you order a set of eight skewers, some of them are cold, which is disappointing. Temperature is hard to see, but it is an important factor in Japanese cuisine, especially yakitori. I think this is due to the fact that they just moved and operations are not yet stable. Before 4 Yakitori restaurant listed in Bib Gourmand. Located in the back alleys of Phrom Phong, a famous Japanese street. The juicy yakitori is made from local Thai chicken and is extremely tasty. And it is probably more expensive than yakitori restaurants in Japan. Sake available, course menus recommended.

Located in a Japanese alley right behind my hotel in the center of Bangkok. Walking in the alley feels like I’m in Japan. I love the food there. After a hot and humid day trip, sitting at the bar with a cold draft beer and enjoying all the great food, I feel like I’m in heaven. A tip: I suggest not bringing your young kids there after dark, as you might have difficulty explaining the presence of the sexy girls sitting in front of the massage parlors across the narrow street.
