Hokkaido Restaurant Genshiyaki is a Japanese restaurant in Bangkok that serves the food of Hokkaido, Japan's northern island, from a house on Soi Sukhumvit 26. My wife and I drove there for lunch on Saturday 15 August 2026 and paid ฿1,230.28 for the two of us. This post covers the grilled fish sets we ordered, the oysters, what the rest of the menu costs and how to get there.

Finding Hokkaido Restaurant Genshiyaki

The restaurant is in a white two-storey house at 83 Soi Sukhumvit 26 in Khlong Toei, with paper lanterns under the eaves and its own car park in front, where we parked. A second sign on the same building reads Hokkaido-Don and Grill Don. According to a 2020 report in the Japanese trade paper Nissyoku, the restaurant opened in December 2014 as an overseas branch of a restaurant group based in Sapporo. You can book a table on TableCheck. We walked in at Saturday lunchtime and there was no queue.

The Grilled Fish Sets

The restaurant takes its name from genshiyaki, which Time Out describes as a traditional way of grilling slowly over low heat. We arrived too late for the salmon don, a promotion the kitchen makes in a limited number each day, so we ordered two grilled fish sets from the lunch card. One was the miso grilled golden eye snapper set, a fillet of kinmedai served skin side up and charred from the grill. The other was the grilled big sardine set, a whole sardine grilled on the bone. Each set comes on a tray with rice, miso soup, grated radish and lemon, plus a slab of tamagoyaki, dressed greens and a small bowl of simmered beef, all part of the set. To drink, I had a beer and my wife a green tea. It was a first visit for both of us and we both enjoyed our fish.

Oysters From The Promotion Menu

The Grand Menu gives a page to the house oysters from Akkeshi in Hokkaido. It says they wait in a holding tank near Haneda airport and reach the restaurant within a day. Ours came from a promotion on a separate menu: two Harima oysters from Hyogo, on crushed ice with lemon and a tag naming them. If the Hokkaido oysters are the reason you go, ask which ones are on that day.

Corn, Menu Prices And The Room

We added buttered corn, which comes on an iron plate set on a wooden board with seaweed flakes on top.

Would I Go Back

Yes. It was a nice lunch and we will go back to try other dishes on the menu. Arrive early if you want the salmon don. For more Japanese food in Bangkok, read my posts on Hitori Shabu at One Bangkok and Tonkatsu Wako Mega Bangna. For more places to eat in Bangkok, start with our Bangkok guide.
