One of Bangkok’s most exclusive sushi omakase destinations
Hidden inside a quiet lane in Sukhumvit 31, Sushi Masato is considered one of Bangkok’s most exclusive omakase destinations. The restaurant has earned 1 Michelin Star in the Michelin Guide Thailand and is widely known for its intimate Edomae-style sushi experience, seasonal ingredients from Toyosu Market in Tokyo, and meticulous craftsmanship by Chef Masato Shimizu.
Chef Masato previously built his reputation in New York, where he became one of the youngest sushi chefs to receive a Michelin Star while working at Jewel Bako, before later co-founding 15 East Restaurant in Manhattan, which also received Michelin recognition. After moving to Bangkok with his Thai-Japanese wife, he opened Sushi Masato in Sukhumvit and quickly established it as one of the city’s most sought-after sushi counters.
The restaurant focuses on traditional Edomae sushi techniques, highlighting seasonal seafood imported directly from Japan. Guests can expect premium ingredients such as uni, otoro, anago, nodoguro, and seasonal shellfish prepared with precise aging, curing, and rice-balancing techniques. The omakase experience is intentionally intimate, elegant, and detail-oriented — reflecting the atmosphere of high-end sushi restaurants in Tokyo and New York.
Located in the Sukhumvit–Phrom Phong area, Sushi Masato is surrounded by luxury residences, international hotels, premium office buildings, and lifestyle destinations including EmQuartier and Emporium. The neighborhood has become one of Bangkok’s most desirable districts for both expatriates and business professionals, blending fine dining, wellness, retail, and modern city living within convenient BTS connectivity.
For companies looking for office space in Sukhumvit or Phrom Phong, the area offers a unique mix of business convenience and lifestyle amenities — from Michelin-starred omakase experiences like Sushi Masato to luxury shopping malls, parks, cafés, and premium Grade A office buildings.
