Sushi Tsukiji
$$$
JAPANESE
Th Thaniya is home to many hostess bars catering to visiting Japanese, so naturally, the
quality of the street's Japanese restaurants is high. Specialising in raw fish, dinner at
Tsukiji - named after Tokyo's famous seafood market - will leave a significant dent in the
wallet, so come for lunch, when the restaurant serves several exceedingly good-value
sushi sets for as little as 198B.

Muslim Restaurant
$
Plant yourself in any random wooden booth of this ancient eatery for a glimpse into what
restaurants in Bangkok used to be like. The menu, much like the interior design, doesn't
appear to have changed much in the restaurant's 70-year history, and the birianis, curries
and samosas are still more Indian-influenced than Thai.
