You can dine in at the Asian cuisine restaurant located in the basement of Tobu Department Store. I like the menu where you can choose 3, 2, or 1 side dishes to go with rice. Today, I went with 2 side dishes as there were many spicy options. You can choose between brown rice and jasmine rice. The total cost was 944 yen, and I added a pineapple juice for 200 yen. I enjoy dining alone at this quick Asian food spot, but I noticed that the side dishes can feel a bit leftover-like when I go at night. (Not freshly made)

Ikebukuro Station inside Tobu Department Store Plaza building, feeling like having a little tea and walking, I found a Thai restaurant with a new menu and drinks available for dine-in! They offer lassi, mango lassi for 350 yen, Thai milk tea for 300 yen, and lemonade. Yes, you can dine in! The staff with a lovely smile said. I ordered the Thai milk tea with ice and was told that it is less sweet than in Thailand, so they will add some simple syrup. Probably due to the Thai style, they added two simple syrups while I was at the counter. During the payment, I noticed an illustration of a butterfly tea on the menu, which is a hot Vietnamese style drink. I was intrigued and ordered it. The kitchen was visible through a glass and the Thai chef introduced me to it. The butterfly pea tea was served in a small takeout container. The Thai milk tea tasted slightly sweet with a hint of Thai tea flavor. It was delicious! The warm chè was rich with coconut milk and various toppings like sweet potato, pumpkin, banana, dried mango, and mochi balls. The white mochi balls were a new addition to chè and went well with the warm coconut milk. After the meal, I enjoyed the Thai milk tea for 300 yen, which was a great deal. The warm chè was also reasonably priced at 680 yen. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience with a wide variety of Thai dishes and drinks available for dine-in or takeout. Thank you for the meal!

I love this Thai food deli because it has a very mild flavor and is not too spicy, which I prefer. It's affordable, so it's great for those who want to casually enjoy Thai cuisine. You can also add extra cilantro. I like Thai food and the cost performance is good, so I visited.

Eating in felt just like having a morning plate, or at least that's what a complete novice in Thai cuisine thought. Around 10:30 in the morning, unable to wait until the usual opening time of 11 o'clock in the restaurant district, I decided to dine in. The egg curry I saw in the showcase looked delicious, and the Thai-style seafood stir-fry also caught my eye. I opted for the "Good Combo 3 items" (1,222 yen) along with an "Iced Jasmine Tea" (220 yen) – as shown in the photo. With the Good Combo, you get to choose your dishes. I went for the "Bon Curry"? "Seafood Curry Omelette" which I really enjoyed. The fluffy omelette and Thai curry blended together perfectly. The "Seafood Chili Paste Stir-Fry" was also a hit. The combination of shrimp, squid, baby corn, and other vegetables was delightful. It had a sweet and spicy flavor profile, leaning more towards the sweetness but with occasional bursts of heat. The "Boi Yan"? "Thai Grilled Chicken" was like boneless thigh grilled with a Thai-style sauce. Now, should I pour the sweet chili sauce over it? I wasn't sure, so I just did it randomly (laughs). It felt like an upgraded version of chicken and fried egg. Regardless, all the dishes were delicious. I chose jasmine rice over brown rice or mixed grain rice, and the jasmine tea for the drink, which turned out to be a bit redundant. The jasmine rice, seasoned with Thai flavors, was quite refreshing and tasty. I used to have a slight aversion to Thai rice and California rice when I was younger, but I realized that comparing them to Japanese rice led to preferences. Each food has its own unique characteristics, and thinking of it that way can lead to enjoying them more. Overall, as a complete novice in this area, I found the dishes to be very delicious. The portion size might be a bit small, but for me, it was just right as I enjoyed it as a Good Morning Bangkok breakfast. Thank you for the meal. The staff was very kind and accommodating. There are counter seats where you can eat facing the wall, providing a calm and relaxing dining experience. Regarding the "spot the mistake" in the photo, the answer is that there are more squid pieces in the "Seafood Chili Paste Stir-Fry." When I saw it in the showcase, I was drawn to the squid, but when it was served, I couldn't find any, so I asked them to add some. I've reached an age where I can easily ask for things that I would have been embarrassed about when dining with my grandma as a child. (By Kyo Natsushikuu, 4/29/2022) (34 reviews/3.31)

I tried the Thai restaurant in the department store basement and it was quite delicious. The chicken and curry were made easy for Japanese taste. The rice was also in Thai style and it was good. It's a self-service place in the department store basement, so the atmosphere is okay.

I was shopping at the department store on this day, and I only had a short amount of time until my next appointment. Feeling a bit hungry, I decided to try the department store's eat-in area, which I had never used before. Unlike the crowded and noisy restaurant I had planned to visit, this place was quiet with seats in the back, perfect for the in-between time. When I'm in the mood for ethnic food in Tokyo, I usually go for Thai cuisine, but I didn't have high expectations for this place. However, the food turned out to be quite delicious. I ordered the limited-time menu item, the Tom Yum Pho with lobster broth for 990 yen. It was just the right amount of spicy and sour, perfect after all the New Year's dishes. The pho had more volume than I expected and filled me up. Similar to authentic Thai restaurants, you can choose from one to three side dishes with rice here, and both dining in and takeout options are available, making it very convenient. I was pleased with the department store's eat-in area, so I'm thinking of coming back here depending on the situation in the future.

Located on the basement floor of Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro, this ethnic cuisine restaurant offers both eat-in and take-out options. Their concept is to provide healthy and casual ethnic food that can be enjoyed from morning. The restaurant attracts many female customers. Today, I tried their bento box set which included Gapao Rice and Gai Yang. They offer various types of bento boxes, including Thai curry and Pad Thai, but I opted for the classic choices. Gapao has a mild flavor without spiciness, making it suitable for everyone. Gai Yang is a small portion, but tastes even better when dipped in chili sauce. It's a gentle and flavorful Thai cuisine tailored for Japanese taste buds. Currently, they are offering a complimentary soft drink with purchases over 800 yen. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I used it for eating in. I think it's nice that you can eat it easily. I ordered the Seafood Black Pepper Stir-Fry (¥814). They said, "Originally, it comes with a fried egg on top, but currently we have stopped providing it from the standpoint of preventing food poisoning." I thought it was strange for eating in, even though it might be understandable for takeout. But it was delicious. There were no dividers like acrylic boards between the eating area and the neighboring ice cream shop's eating area, which was very close. Also, while I was eating, three people finished eating and left, but the tables were not wiped at all. I was more concerned about this than the fried egg.

I bought a bento box for lunch, but felt like it was lacking vegetables, so I decided to stop by Tobu's Good Morning Bangkok to buy something salad-like. And of course, it had to be Som Tam! However, the name of this Som Tam dish was ridiculously long! (laughs) It's called "Healthy Tamarind Sauce Green Papaya Salad". You don't hear about Som Tam with tamarind sauce much, but oh well. Anyway, I got it. (laughs) I quickly got it ready with the bento box. The moment I opened the lid, the smell of Nam Pla filled the air. I see. The papaya had a crunchy texture and was coated in a sweet and sour sauce, making it a convenient and reasonably priced Som Tam option. I think it turned out well.

I had never eaten at the eat-in section of the department store before, and today was my first memorable experience. I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while now, as I always caught a whiff of Southeast Asian scents when passing by. They had a variety of lunch options, so I decided to go for the 3-item combo plate. *Lunch 3-Item Combo 1102 yen 1. Original: Chicken and Eggplant Green Curry with Sichuan Pepper 2. Chicken Gapao: Stir-fried Minced Chicken with Thai Basil 3. Mubacha: Spicy Pork Stir-fry with Herbal Seasoning Each plate also came with a sunny-side-up egg. The green curry on the right side of the plate left a lasting impression with its unique blend of curry spiciness and subtle sweetness. The Chicken Gapao was so good that I could have had multiple servings. The Mubacha was perfect for spice lovers like me. It seemed like all the dishes were tailored to suit Japanese tastes. There were some surprising dishes that came out during my visit, as mentioned by acquaintances who frequent this place. The long and narrow eat-in area was mostly occupied by women, showing its popularity among them. The three lunch dishes were so delicious that I ended up buying a few more items for takeout. It was a delightful meal. Thank you for the feast!

This is a shop located on B1F of Tobu Department Store Plaza Building. They offer both takeout and eat-in options, with a menu that includes Jasmine rice and fried egg with curry and soup. You can also choose up to three side dishes, and this time I chose the Gapao Gai. The flavors are on the sweeter side, which is easy for Japanese people to enjoy, but I personally felt that adding some spiciness would have been better. The ability to choose three dishes allows you to try a variety of dishes even when dining alone, which is appealing. I look forward to trying other menu items next time. Thank you for the meal.

Early dinner at the Thai restaurant in the Ikebukuro Station Eat Town B1. I'm not sure when it became an area called Eat Town, but the lineup of shops in B1 hasn't changed much, while B2 has upscale options like Kitano Ace and favorite stores like Biosebon and Nibben. The Oil & Vinegar in B1 is always good, and I used to go all the way to Kyobashi for it, so having it in Ikebukuro is convenient and nice! As for Good Morning Bangkok, you can choose your menu like a deli. I've been here a few times, but I've only tried the Tom Yum Kung and fresh spring rolls, so I don't know about the other options. The Tom Yum Kung was lukewarm. Maybe to prevent burns? The fresh spring rolls were full of ingredients. Lots of somen noodles. The carrots and cucumbers inside had a naturally sweet and vinegary taste, which was delicious. Restaurants in Parco, Lumine, Seibu, and Tobu are usually on higher floors, so it's convenient to have a restaurant right near the station when you don't feel like climbing up.

There is a Thai restaurant inside Tobu where you can also get bento boxes to go, but they also have limited dine-in only menu. I had the Gapao Noodle (842 yen) which had just the right amount of spiciness and sourness, perfect for rejuvenating a tired body. The location at the station is very convenient, so I will definitely come back again!

Thai restaurant located in Tobu B1. You can also take out, but you can also eat in the eat-in corner of the store, which is convenient when you don't have time. The deli offers a choice of 1-3 items from about 8 types (prices vary depending on the type). I tried the Panang Moo (stir-fried pork in red curry), which cost 734 yen. It was a pre-made type displayed in the showcase in front of the store, so I didn't have high expectations, but it had plenty of Bai Makrut. There was more pork than I expected. It's a bit disappointing that it's more watery than soupy. The flavor is quite mild and more suitable for Japanese taste than authentic Thai cuisine, so it's better to think of it as Thai-style cuisine rather than Thai cuisine when eating.

The underground 1st floor of Tobu Ikebukuro was renovated last year and transformed into a very stylish area. The shops inside have completely changed, and every time I passed by, I thought I would like to stop by if I had the chance. I hadn't had the opportunity to use the department store deli for a while, but finally got the chance, so I walked around the floor and was drawn to the Thai cuisine. I ordered the Thai assorted dishes set for ¥702 (tax included). According to the shop's sign, the 3 types of assorted dishes change daily. On that day, the lineup included "Grilled Chicken, Stir-fried Pork and Vegetables in Red Curry" and "Stir-fried Shrimp & Vegetables, Basil Stir-fry, Red Curry Stir-fry." I chose the former because I wanted to try the grilled chicken. The grilled chicken had a mild spice level. The sweet chili sauce on the side was unexpectedly spicy, and it was delicious to eat with it. The basil stir-fry had large chunks of minced chicken, giving it a satisfying texture. I wish the Thai basil had a stronger aroma and the ethnic seasonings like fish sauce were more pronounced. The Red Curry Stir-fry had a relatively strong ethnic spice flavor among the three. It was decent and my favorite among the three. I was looking for a more distinct flavor of spices, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. As the name suggests, the concept seems to be "healthy ethnic food that can be eaten from morning," so maybe the ethnic flavors are kept subtle. I think it's a taste that everyone, including those who don't like spicy or strong-smelling foods, can enjoy. Thank you for the meal ☆

Yesterday I went to Ikebukuro for a bit before work and had lunch at Tobu Department Store. The place I wanted to visit was "Good Morning Bangkok". This branch opened before the one in Shinjuku, and unlike the Shinjuku location which is takeout only, this one also has seating for dining in, making it very convenient. I chose the combo with three dishes: Gai Pad Krapow, Red Curry Stir-Fried Pork and Green Beans, and Kai Yang. The style is similar to street food in Thailand where you can choose a few dishes to go with rice and eat on the spot. However, the cutlery provided, small plastic spoons and disposable chopsticks, made it a bit difficult to eat. I would have preferred larger spoons and forks for dining in. The spiciness of the Gai Pad Krapow was mild and the flavor was a bit weak. The Red Curry Stir-Fried Pork and Green Beans was tasty but a bit oily. The Kai Yang was cold and the skin was tough, so I had to use chili and fish sauce to enhance the flavor. Overall, the food was not very warm, which was a bit strange. I think for dining in, it would be better if the food was served warm.

The B1 and B2 floors of Tobu Ikebukuro, which reopened on November 1st, feature an eat-in section at the Thai cuisine deli on B1. I had lunch there, which included chicken gapao, salad, and coconut soup. I sat at the counter seat, but the counter was a bit high and made it a little difficult to eat. The gapao rice was delicious, but I especially liked the coconut soup.

I decided to try this restaurant because I wanted a quick meal with meat and vegetables at night. I ordered a combo of two dishes for 830 yen and a half portion of fresh spring rolls for 200 yen. I chose seafood Tom Yum soup and Gai Yang for the two dishes. The Gai Yang (grilled chicken) was okay, but not particularly delicious. The rice was very tasty though. The fresh spring rolls could have been juicier and had more sauce. The seafood Tom Yum soup didn't taste very seafood-like and was too spicy for me. Overall, it was just okay. The Thai rice was good, but I probably won't visit again.

The shop located in the basement of Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro has both eat-in and take-out options, making it convenient for a quick meal. I have used this shop multiple times. There are three two-seater tables and a counter with six seats, so it feels spacious for an eat-in place. This time, I ordered Thai-style Jajangmyeon and guava juice. The food was brought to my table, and I mixed in the onsen egg before eating. The flavor was not too strong, making it easy to eat. There were condiments on the table, so I used them to adjust the taste midway. In hindsight, I regret not having a salad for a better meal balance. Next time, I will consider the balance more when dining in.

The service is fast, it's easy to go to, and the food is really delicious. It's a fast food Thai restaurant. I've been there many times. The beef pho with lots of green onions is a bit sweet and light, and it was delicious. My favorite menu at this restaurant is the Tom Yum Kung noodles, which are full of vegetables, not too spicy, and incredibly delicious. The best. It's located inside Tobu Department Store next to Lumine. I really like this zone. It's highly recommended for users of the Yurakucho Line.
