About Obara

Obara is a Japanese restaurant on Soi Sukhumvit 69 in the Ekkamai area. It serves tempura and kamameshi, which is rice cooked in a pot. Reviews mention a beef and burdock root kamameshi, daikon tempura and an Obara set. Tempura is fried fresh, piece by piece, in a small izakaya style room.

It has a 4.6 Google rating from about 190 reviews (November 2026).

The restaurant opens at 17:00 from Monday to Friday and at 11:30 on weekends. Kamameshi takes time to cook, and one guest waited about 30 minutes, so order the rice first. The shop has no parking.

    I highly recommend the Obara Set at Tempura Kamameshi Obara! My absolute favorite is the beef and burdock root kamameshi. The savory flavor of the beef and the wonderful aroma of the burdock are perfectly infused into the rice—it’s absolutely delicious! The freshly cooked kamameshi is so flavorful that you can enjoy every last bite without getting tired of it. The set also comes with tempura, making it perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a variety of dishes. If you visit Obara, the Obara Set is definitely a must-try! 😋✨

    One of the best tempura spots in Bangkok. Quality ingredients, expertly fried and served fresh piece by piece. Don't miss the daikon tempura—it's so good that one piece is never enough.🫜

    This is a must have, if you’re in the mood for authentic Japanese tempura specialties. The price is very affordable, the atmosphere is like a little izakaya, the owner is an amazing chef and host. The food deserves a Michelin review. 100%, highly recommended!

    The tempura was great—crispy and fresh, made right in front of you. The seasoned rice was also delicious, but it took a while to prepare. The wait for the rice was about 30 minutes, which made the whole meal take longer than expected. There’s no parking at the shop, so we had to park in a nearby building for 40฿ per hour. We ended up spending two hours just because of the rice. Prices are fair, and the food is good, but the parking situation is a downside that might make us think twice next time.
