“ Very yummy grilled pork with riceeeee would def come back, the resto is really tiny so it felt a lol cramped but wouldnt mind coming back at all for the food!! ”
“ The butadon from this restaurant has made me craved for it since my last first visit 6 months ago. The rice, from Niigata, boasted best in Japan, is a must have and goes very well with the pork meat. I especially like the texture of the rice. Will go back again….. and again. ”
“ The restaurant was almost full with Thai customers. The charcoal-grilled pork was very delicious, and the rice was also tasty. The large salad bowl set is good for those who need more vegetables. It's a bit cramped, and the air conditioning breeze is cold, so it's not very comfortable to stay long. It feels more like a quick meal and leave kind of place. ”
“ This place specialises in only butadon. The meat was very marinated and very flavorful. They also sell kimchi and light garden salad to cut through the taste of the meat. Rice is also well cooked and not overly clumpy. One small gripe - the restaurant is really small and the seating is sooo cramped. Each tables were very close to each other without much space in between to squeeze through. The queue is long. We came early at 11:10 and the restaurant was already full. After eating, i saw a long queue waiting at the cashier area. Price wise it’s decent value ”
“ I had an excellent char grilled pork on rice bowl here, which is what they specialise in. I believe it's called Butsadon in Japanese.. Other pork dishes with salad were available and options like egg or order in a set can be ordered. Taste was good, a little sweet but definitely not too sweet. When I arrived around 1pm the restaurant was almost empty, but by the time I'd ordered which didn't take long, the second floor of the restaurant was almost full, with more seating available on the third floor. Service was very fast and friendly with excellent English. Highly recommend and I will return again to sample something else from their menu. ”
“ A good place to get a good quality dish of grilled pork belly. This Ohachi is located in the small plaza near the beginning of Soi Ari. It is tiny and small but it is a nice place to grab food. It offers just grilled pork belly but it comes with sevral combinations. It is quite crowded during weekdays. Weekends are less busy. Grilled pork belly tastes good and the service is friendly. Coming here by BTS (Ari Station) is highly recommended. ”
“ I recently tried the Grill Pork Don and was pleasantly surprised! The variety of sizes—Kiddy, Regular, Master, and Doctor—adds a fun twist. The pork was flavorful and better than I expected. The small, walk-up location offers seating at tables or the bar, creating a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend! ”
“ Everything was absolutely delicious. Kiddy bowl is enough for one person. The pork was so soft and perfectly grilled. Would come back to eat next time. No need to wait for long queue on Thursday but Monday can be really crowded. ”
