Hanako Sushi & Izakaya ฮานาโกะ ซูชิ แอนด์ อิซากายะ

Hanako is an old-school izakaya at 19/5-6 Sukhumvit Soi 19, the lane behind Terminal 21 that fills with small Japanese kitchens opening only in the evening. Google rates it 4.3 from more than 600 reviews. Wongnai's listing puts the per-head band at 251 to 500 baht, but individual reviewers report anything from under 250 to over 1,000 depending on how much sashimi lands on the table. Dishes Wongnai reviewers name are salmon and mixed sashimi, yakitori, salt-roasted ginkgo nuts, udon with shrimp roe, salmon-roe sushi and grilled snow fish with sauce; a couple add that the sushi is weaker than the grill and the raw fish. Wongnai lists hours as 16:30 to midnight daily, while Google's data shows 17:00 to 01:00, later than any Japanese restaurant inside the mall. There is no online menu with prices, so the safe approach is to start with grilled plates and beer and add sashimi to taste.
