If you like Japanese food, you are going to love this. Today Meeting Point is taking you to KOFUKU, which serves very approachable fusion-style dishes. The branch we visited is at Central Pinklao. It gets very busy, so you may need to queue a little. KOFUKU focuses on donburi rice bowls, but there are other options too. It is a really popular spot.
KOFUKU, pronounced ko-fu-ku, has a new concept at its Central Pinklao branch: KOFUKU Paradise. The interior is decorated in Japanese style to match the food's origins, with cute pink sakura trees and dim orange lanterns that set a lovely mood. There are not many tables, and the menu offers lots of choice, including sushi, sashimi and plenty of donburi bowls.
Today Meeting Point tried the restaurant's famous signature dishes. Let's take a look.
Salmon Galaxy rice bowl, KOFUKU's signature
The staff told us we absolutely had to try the Salmon Galaxy bowl, the restaurant's signature. Japanese rice sits underneath and is slightly salty on its own, but once you mix it with the egg and salmon, it all comes together perfectly.
Beef rice bowl
We recommend this one too. The beef rice bowl is excellent: fragrant rice with lots of garlic butter and pepper, generous toppings and very filling.
Drinks
We had the refillable drinks, with three choices:
- Lemon tea: strong and very refreshing. We loved it.
- Melon green tea: deep green with a melon aroma and a slight tang. Refreshing.
- Iced green tea: unsweetened, and we really liked it.
Meeting Point recommends KOFUKU as a fusion Japanese restaurant with some seriously good dishes. If you are bored of the usual, come and try it. Turn an ordinary meal into something special while enjoying a Japanese-garden atmosphere at wallet-friendly prices. And you will leave very full.
