FOOD:

The upstairs floor of the restaurant serves teppanyaki, while the lower level focuses on sushi and sashimi, with selections from local fish markets as well as imports from Japan. A must-order is shake kawa maki, hand-rolled sushi with crispy salmon skin and avocado. Each bite is full of flavour, with the crunchiness of the salmon skin complemented by the sweetness of the seasoned rice and the buttery richness of the avocado. Gindara saikyo (grilled snowfish) is served with wedges of lime and grilled expertly, maintaining the aroma and taste of the fish. Last but not least, try yuzu ice cream, a home-made citrus treat which makes a refreshing end to the meal. Banya

SETTINGS:

One of the more refined Japanese establishments in downtown Bangkok, Taihei offers breathtaking views from the 53rd floor of the Banyan Tree hotel. The staff excels in terms of attentiveness and politeness, but could do with a little more knowledge about the food they serve.
