IZAKAYA - Traditional Japanese Robatayaki & Sushi (mid-price), one of the 3 themes in KU DE TA Bangkok, stands side by side with the SIGNATURE (Modern Asian Cuisine, high-price) and the CLUB LOUNGE in 39th and 40th floors in Sathorn Square Building (location here, 2-5 min walk from Chong Nonsi BTS), serves many varieties of traditional Japanese delicacy and their highlights are Robatayaki (Japanese BBQ) and Sushi.
I actually came across this restaurant from a friend's recommendation. Tried earlier Sirocco @ Labua Bangkok, i have good faith with Bangkok's sky dining. Even Izakaya by KU DE TA Bangkok is located indoor, i still feel good in the general sight available. Lets see a first scent greeted us as soon as we were seated.

| Beautiful isnt it. In the 4 oclock direction of the sun, you can see the mighty Chao Phraya river. |
You just have to go at around 6:30pm and you will see the whole sunset and i will show you what it looks like at the end of this post :P OK. Enough about the scenery, lets talk more about this restaurant and the food it offers.
Walk 3-5 mins from Chong Nonsi BTS towards Sathorn Square Building, tell the lovely ladies in the lobby that you want to go to Izakaya and they will lead you to the lift. When arrive 30th floor, there will be people waiting you to seat you at your choice of any free table. A very comfortable start of the dining experience :)

We then ordered about 7 items mostly from the BBQ section of the menu plus a roll sushi, ramen and matcha dessert. I have to highlight here the below:
Unagi Avocado Roll: Rolled Sushi at its best and simple combination. Very big pcs of avocado and perfectly grilled unagi (eel), overall texture is soft, smooth and melting!! The light buttery texture and the fluffy with a little bit crisp skin of the unagi just gives a very good opening the my taste bud :D
Ribu Buta: Grilled Pork Ribs. Unlike the ordinary grill pork ribs in western cuisine, i believe the ribs were braise for hours before grill. Slight spicy but full of aromatic flavour form the fermented beans, the ribs were just a strong contrast to the roll we 1st ate.
Matcha: The name is a bit wierd but this dessert served as a perfect ending not only because of the overall taste but also the surprise the tart gave: This is the recommended dessert by our waiter and soon i agree with him, you cut the tart and the matcha cream just spill out. Combined with the chocolate ice cream, I can assure you that it will be finished within 5 minutes :P

The rest of the dish were good too like the Butabara - grilled pork belly wrapped in perilla leaf, ramen with flavoured york egg. Well, lets see the scoring below:
(-1 = no good; 0 = neutral; 1 = good)
Food Presentation = 0
Taste/Texture = 1
Service = 1
Price/Value = 1
Overall Atmosphere = 1
TOTAL SCORE = 4/5, will purposely make a trip there !
THE VERDICT: 7 items, 2 half pint draught Asahi, 1 perfect city sunset scene and friendly service at THB 2190. I really appreciate the efforts made by the team. Foods are skilfully prepared, had great dining experience there. what else :P
