Fatboy Izakaya Chidlom: Bangkok’s Newest Izakaya Where Daytime Chill Meets Nighttime Thrill

Fatboy Izakaya, a popular modern Japanese food and drink haven in Bangkok, has opened its second branch in the Chidlom district, creating a culinary experience that caters to both locals and international visitors seeking a uniquely enjoyable feast in central Bangkok.

Appealing to the cosmopolitan Chidlom crowd in the revamped RAYNUE space at Gaysorn-Amarin, the new Fatboy Izakaya branch retains the essence of the original Ekkamai branch, offering a stylish yet sophisticated ambiance and a modern twist on the typical izakaya menu, incorporating high-quality local and imported ingredients. For those travelling or visiting Bangkok, this is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable dining experience.

Reaching a Wider Audience in Chidlom

Fatboy Izakaya strategically chose the Chidlom district for its second branch to tap into the area’s vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. Chidlom is home to several tourist spots, high-rise office buildings, and shopping centres. It’s a favourite among expats, office workers, and tourists who frequent the district from day until late at night. Seeing Chidlom’s lively atmosphere as the perfect fit, Fatboy Izakaya seized the opportunity to become part of this bustling environment and establish itself as a must-visit destination in central Bangkok, bringing the modern izakaya vibe from Ekkamai to Chidlom with its own twist of excitement.

“We’re thrilled to have a new home in the dynamic Chidlom district. At Fatboy Izakaya, our goal is to foster a welcoming atmosphere for all our guests, both local and international, by offering top-notch Japanese izakaya with a modern twist. We strive to be the best by prioritising our guests on every occasion, continually innovating to provide a desirable, experience-driven menu that reimagines traditional Japanese flavours with contemporary flair and the finest ingredients,” said Atcha Wongchindawest, founder of Fatboy Izakaya.

A Newly Designed Menu

At the Gaysorn-Amarin branch, Fatboy Izakaya redefines the traditional izakaya experience with a delightful and personalised approach. The menu, exclusively tailored for this location, presents a blend of contemporary and signature dishes, embodying the essence of modern izakaya cuisine. Complementing these culinary offerings is a thoughtfully curated selection of premium beverages, carefully selected to harmonise with the diverse flavours of the menu. From refreshing cocktails to fine sakes, every beverage enriches the dining experience, guaranteeing that guests enjoy a culinary journey brimming with unmatched flavour and refinement.

 

“As a Canadian-Japanese chef, I’ve honed my skills across the globe. Now, bringing that global perspective right here to Bangkok, the city’s vibrant food scene inspires me to be inventive and playful with our menu. I aim to celebrate the abundance of Thailand’s incredible fresh produce with a combination of imported ingredients to create a tasteful experience that goes beyond the ordinary,” said Andrew Martin, Head Chef at the new Fatboy Izakaya branch.

A Welcoming Space for All, Day and Night

Fatboy Izakaya opens its doors from 11:30 AM onwards to accommodate both the lunchtime cravings of office workers and expats in the Chidlom area, as well as the lively crowds of tourists exploring Bangkok during the day and night.

As the sun sets on the horizon, the restaurant’s Japanese-modern interior, with a playful hint of nostalgia, transforms into a one-stop destination for all types of nightlife enthusiasts. The atmosphere evolves throughout the evening, with LED lights infusing the bar area with energy and excitement. As the night progresses, the space shifts from sleek to futuristic, with the ceiling’s LED digital patterns dazzling with changing colours, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere that is visible from the Ratchaprasong skywalk. The late-night vibe gets a boost from the music of all-night DJs, while the bartender delights the crowd with occasional complimentary drinks and shots. Whether you’re seeking a memorable dining experience or looking to add some excitement to your night out, this is the destination that won’t disappoint.
