Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns to Central Marina shopping mall in Pattaya. It has not operated there since before the major renovations took place in 2017. The food is still a very high standard however I think the prices may have risen slightly. 🙂

Super decor

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Excellent staff as usual, plus the food is top quality & reasonably priced.

Red hot opening special

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns 

Only 240 Baht or $7.80 USD including a miso soup.

The old favourites are still on the menu.

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns 

Central Marina is only 5 minutes walk from my apartment, & 2 minutes from the Atlantic Bar, so I dine there 4 or 5 times a week. There are several excellent Japanese restaurants apart from Fuji, in particular I recommend Miyayzaki. 

California Roll

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Certainly one of my all time favourites at Fuji, I must say I love any dish that includes avocado. Please take a look at one of my Japanese blogs, in particular take note of the baked avocado. 

A perfect combination

Fuji

We are so lucky in Pattaya to have many very good Japanese restaurants.

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returnsJapan is my favourite for travel & food so I consider myself very lucky to have so many choices here in Pattaya for top quality Japanese food.

So glad Fuji is back

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returnsThanks for visiting my Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns  photo blog.

At Central Festival December 2021

Fuji Japanese Restaurant returns

Gyoza, cooked to perfection.

Sadly now in December 2021 we are in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis & 50% of the outlets here at Central marina, the Food Park & Central Festival have closed. I really can’t see them re-opening until mid 2022.

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant

November 24, 2018 by David Herd

Great value Japanese food

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant at Central Marina shopping mall serves excellent quality food at a very good price.

Small compact restaurant

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant I dine regularly at MK right next door to Miyazaki & have walked past dozens of times since the mall was rebuilt in 2017. However the food was such good value I won’t be walking past in the future. 🙂

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant I ordered the special set of NZ beef, vegetables, miso soup & rice at a low price of B280 or $11.70 AUD.

Loved the vegetables & the Miso soup

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant There is no doubt I will be a regular here. Although in Pattaya we do have many very good Japanese restaurants.

NZ beef was fabulous

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant Rare, juicy & tender, cooked to perfection. 🙂

My compliments to the chef. 🙂

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant I can’t believe how lucky we are living in Pattaya with so many great places to eat, every possible cuisine & price range, from five star hotels to street food. Since Terminal 21 opened on October 19 2018 Central Marina has lost half it’s customers, I do feel sorry for their loss of business, on the other had it’s much quieter & more peaceful. 

Friday night at 8 pm.

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant Only 2 other customers apart from myself.

Teriyaki chicken is my favourite

Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant It  literally melts in your mouth.

Many thanks for visiting my Miyazaki Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant photo blog.

Omeros Gold Coast Restaurant

Omeros Gold Coast

Omeros Gold Coast

Omeros Gold Coast Restaurant has been a favourite of mine for around 30 years from back when it was known as the Paragon. A fabulous on the Broadwater looking towards Southport.

I usually sit inside with the air conditioning. 🙂

Omeros Bros Gold Coast Seafood RestaurantHowever if I’m dining with a noisy mob outside is better. 🙂

Lunch with friends

Omeros Bros Gold Coast Seafood RestaurantRoss & Mariana Kennedy are legends in their own lunchtime. They now live 5 minutes away at Paradise Waters.

A couple of drinks at the bar first is a good idea.

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

February 3, 2018 by David Herd

Excellent food at Genki

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantGenki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant located in Soi 4 North Pattaya is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Pattaya. Lucky for me it’s only a short 5 minute walk from my condo. 🙂

Outdoor seating

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantOutdoor seating plus a private room for around 16 people.

Rarely do you see a Farang here.

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantCustomers are mainly Japanese, rarely do you see a Farang. (Foreigner)

Gyoza comes fried or steamed

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantPriced at B90 or $4.00 AUD.

My Australian friend Viv Kennelly

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantLike myself Viv really enjoys his food.

 Salmon Caviar

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantOne of my favourite dishes at B300 or $14.50 AUD.

Same dish as above.

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantProbably prepared by a different chef. Both come with the sheets of seaweed to make a delicious sandwich. 

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantThe omelet is so light it melts in your mouth. 🙂

 This guy was the boss.

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantI believe he has gone back to Japan & the standard seems to have dropped slightly.

I’m not to keen on prawn heads in my miso soup.

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantOh well I guess it improves the flavour. 🙂

Salmon sashimi

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant Always hard to beat.

Mushrooms wrapped in bacon

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant For all the non Muslims out there. 🙂

More Aussie friends

Genki Pattaya Japanese RestaurantHamish & Matt both have pretty good appetites.

Here is a funny story, Matt runs a factory in the motor industry with 60 or 70 staff, naturally he is on a very good wage. The clincher is however, on top of his wage he gets a hardship allowance for living in Pattaya. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

July 1, 2017 by David Herd

Surf & Turf

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

 Excellent Beachside Pattaya Restaurant offers good food in a great seaside location on Wongamat beach. There’s a huge menu & my only complaint is the wine cost, like many other Pattaya restaurants they do not offer a glass of house wine for between B120 & B150. This oversight certainly costs them customers.

What a fabulous view

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

I prefer lunch over dinner for two reasons, the fabulous view & I find the wine far too expensive at night.

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

As you can see the beer prices are fine.

Let’s take a look at the food

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

My seafood pasta was very good indeed.

Scallop Mornay was excellent.

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

Just looking at this photo makes my mouth water. 🙂

Succulent Oysters

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

As you can see, the food is beautifully presented.

I have eaten oysters all over the world, please check out THIS LINK.

Spanish Paella

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

One of the many interesting dishes on the extensive menu.

 Chicken, onion rings, sweet corn , YUM!

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

 By now you probably realize why this is a favorite Excellent Beachside Pattaya Restaurant.

Spinach soup, what a great color.

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

Often a soup & a selection of entrees suits me better than a large main meal.

TripAdvisor rating

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

TripAdvisor rate Surf & Turf 111 out of 870 restaurants in Pattaya. I’m a little surprised there are only 870, I really thought there were more. On another subject I have never been a fan of food served on wooden plates, I just wonder whether are are as hygienic as normal plates?

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

June 14, 2017 by David Herd

Lunch by the Bay

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

 Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Restaurant is on the waterfront in Naklua. At low tide the view is not very attractive & the restaurant itself resembles a large barn. Put all that aside & just enjoy the fabulous fresh seafood & quick efficient service.

A big tin shed

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

The customers who regularly eat here would be 95% Thai, mainly because tourists would never walk past or hear about it.

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Location

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Either catch a Baht bus from the Dolphin roundabout or just hire a taxi. Believe me it’s worth the effort. 

What about the food you ask?

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Fresh, reasonably priced & lots to choose from.

Clams with lots of garlic

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Delicious, in Australia we call them pippies.

Prawns cooked to perfection

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Fresh & cooked to perfection.

Why are they are so fresh?

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Shortly before they arrive at your table they are happily swimming around without a care in the world. 🙂

Salted fish, a Thai specialty.

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Restaurant

Thai’s have mastered salted fish, one of their many terrific dishes.

Being an amateur camera enthusiast I’m more than happy with the low tide mudflats of Naklua, it provides so many more photo opportunities.

Can you imagine the “for sale” sign?

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Needs a little work. 🙂

So it doesn’t just sell seafood. 🙂

Fresh crabs

Walk down the narrow stairs & through the bar into the beautiful restaurant.

Excellent decor

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

I really like the fact the tables are not too close together which certainly improves the atmosphere.

 Baked seafood entree

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

This tasty dish is prepared and served in a traditional snail serving tray.

This is a superb dish beautiful served

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

  This superb entree featured morsels of French mussels, clams & prawns, flavoured & baked with herb butter, cheddar, Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.

If you lean closer to the screen I’m sure you will be able to smell the garlic. 🙂

An important message 

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

This really is the best advice I can give you. 🙂

Beef Ribs

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

 Another dish cooked perfectly was the bone-in braised beef short rib in red wine sauce (750 baht),  slow-cooked until the meat became soft and fell off the bone, yet still retained a pleasant chewy texture. Notice the packet of baked garlic which was very tasty indeed.

A choice of vegetables

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

Choose the vegetables that you prefer with your ribs.

Here is my favourite main course

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

The slow cooked lamb shank is absolutely delicious. 

Anyone for cake?

Pirate Chambre Excellent Bangkok Restaurant

It would not be a proper Italian restaurant without cake. 🙂

In Bangkok you must visit some of the wonderful sky bars.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

April 7, 2017 by David Herd

As good as any restaurant in Pattaya.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

 Great Pattaya German Restaurant located in Soi 33 off naklua Rd just north of the Dolphin roundabout. It’s one of many very good restaurants in the lively busy Soi. 

Two sections

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

The outoor & open area as you can see in the photo plus the air conditioned bakery  in the first photo which is where I prefer to eat.

Lets talk about the food

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

It is such good value for the excellent quality. I guessing 80% of the customers are German, in fact the Naklua area is where they prefer to live.

 Lots of healthy entres

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Leckerle have a large menu to choose from, all dishes are reasonably priced.

However this one is my favourite

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Pea soup with German sausage. The good news is that it’s the best I have ever tasted, the bad news is it is rather filling and I have to settle for a small 2nd course. 🙂

 Everyone loves the soup

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Here is my good friend from Australia Geoff Robinson & his Thai lady Nana, they agree with me that Leckerle is great value.

A wonderful waffle

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

What a way to finish.

More Aussie friends

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

The big guy Viv Kennelly is another friend from Australia, I introduced hiom & his friends to Leckerle in February 2017 & they likes it so much they returned the following evening. 🙂

Great Pattaya German Restaurant, another favourite dish

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

After the soup this is a small dish I often order, prawns & bacon on German bread, delicious.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Another tasty small dish I often have after the soup. Slices of ham on German bread. 

 Nice decor

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

Plus another bomus is they always seem to play very good background music from the 80s & 90s.

Hamish & I attack the Pork Knuckle

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

My friend Hamish Elton also loves his food & remarked the knucle was one of the best he has eaten in Pattaya.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant, monster schnitzel

Great Pattaya German Restaurant

 You have to be pretty good on the fang to get through this one. 🙂

Even super tooth Ray Ebzery was a little overwhelmed.

Great Pattaya German Restaurant 

To his credit he bravely battled through it. 🙂

Another excellent dish, Kasseler & Sauerkraut 

Great Pattaya German RestaurantTender pork & sauerkraut.  Kasseler in German cuisine is the name given to a salted (cured) and slightly smoked cut of pork similar to British gammon.

How many calories here?

Great Pattaya German Restaurant Far too many to worry about, this pancake is sooooo good. 🙂

Xmas 2019

Leckerle German RestaurantA lovely Xmas photo of some of the nice staff members.

Sabai Wing Soi 1 North Pattaya

36555237616_da3ed73d6a_o

Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from BigC, & a 10 minute walk to Leckerle, great value at only $30 usd per night as of 2017. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.
