Dinner at 美会 Bia Roppongi

in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

have been hearing really good things about this thai japanese fusion restaurant, and since our itinerary had a lot of washoku meals this trip, decided to end on a different note.

love the idea of seasonal japanese ingredients, extenuated with thai spices and flavours, without straying far from either cuisine’s traditional cooking or flavour. favourite dishes tonight were the fried fugu, thai oyster omelette inspired but with kuro awabi, chives and topped with ikura,...

in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

have been hearing really good things about this thai japanese fusion restaurant, and since our itinerary had a lot of washoku meals this trip, decided to end on a different note.

love the idea of seasonal japanese ingredients, extenuated with thai spices and flavours, without straying far from either cuisine’s traditional cooking or flavour. favourite dishes tonight were the fried fugu, thai oyster omelette inspired but with kuro awabi, chives and topped with ikura, the omi beef burger patty finished with laab spices was also really enjoyable to eat, the touch of caviar was also a good addition without being too gimmick. the signature fukahire was really nicely done, braised well with a rich suppon based sauce which i found a little starchy but flavour-wise spot on with a dash of black vinegar. also really loved the curry here, served with a pandan infused jasmine rice. we sampled a boar and takenoko green curry and a omi beef with ebi imo masaman curry which was a bit sweet, both i really wish could’ve been spicier. the tuna dish with a thai egg-yolk sauce though nice, didn’t feel like it was needed on the menu, and ended with thai tea, anko pandan mochi and a generous scoop of hojicha and coconut ice cream.

overall a really enjoyable meal, a great break from washoku and overall service, cospa, food were all beyond expectations. a highly recommended spot in tokyo right now which is also very bookable.

Located in the vibrant district of Roppongi, Restaurant Bia has been garnering both praise from enthusiastic diners and acclaim from discerning critics. Renowned for its inventive Japanese cuisine that skillfully blends traditional Japanese flavors with the vibrant zest of Thai spices, this establishment is celebrated for its unwavering commitment to using only the most exquisite ingredients, many of which are thoughtfully sourced from local farmers and fishermen. Bia's pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the omakase course, a culinary journey that dances with the seasons, showcasing the chef's artistry in sync with the availability of the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients.

Returning for a second memorable dining experience at Bia, I was once again captivated by their ingenious fusion of Thai culinary heritage with the precision and finesse of Japanese culinary techniques. The result is a tantalizing symphony of flavors that stands as a refreshing departure from the culinary landscape. My palate was treated to a delightful medley of tastes, where some combinations soared while others pleasantly surprised. As a whole, Restaurant Bia is a culinary gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience unlike any other. Less

Lunch at bia (美会)

on 06 Dec 2022

by Gerhard Huber

Thai Japanese fusion restaurant from one of the most prolific Foodies and Tabelog reviewers in Japan. Himself being Thai he takes inspiration from a Thai dish and collaborates with his Japanese chef to create something similar but with Japanese ingredients and techniques.
The result is a surprisingly delicious fusion of the two cuisines with bold flavors but restrained spice lawyers.
Excellent place which deservedly got a Tabelog Bronze award in its first year.

Ginza Bia 美会 1st visit — tucked away in a small back alley in Ginza, casual, almost a little quirky setting, fusion of Thai spices and Japanese ingredients showing the owner’s Thai roots. Uni with lemongrass sauce was an interesting combination. The curry rice was tasty but on the sweet side. Overall interesting concept and good quality food, though I wish the dishes were spicier. •
