THAI CAFE & RESTAURANT TABANGIN ตะบนกน

We wanted to try something different on our Japan trip and found this spot on Google – so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I finished our plates and still ordered extra The crispy pork did not disappoint, and days later I’m still craving their crispy pork and fried rice Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area!

We crept up to the third floor to find this intimate counter restaurant. We got the last two available seats. Amazing crispy pork and chicken satay to start with delicious mains to follow. Definitely a highlight!

This is a small restaurant at the 3rd floor of a back alley. If you aren't actively looking for it you would miss it, but I wondered what Thai food was like in Osaka, so I searched for the nearest one to my hotel. I was extremely lucky to be able to get a seat at the counter. Its all just counter seats, and it was easy to order in English or Thai if you dont speak Japanese. Pi Ice cooked all the food and she was attentive enough to ask if I wanted Thai spicy or Japanese spicy, which I assume are 2 very different levels even if they have a spicy rating on the menu. The pad krapow, pad Thai and somtam were all masterfully done and very delicious. It was a wonderful meal and I will highly recommend to have a meal here.

This Thai restaurant is an absolute gem! The food was heavenly delicious and full of authentic flavors that transported us straight to Thailand. The dishes are prepared by the Thai chef who cooks using her grandmother’s traditional recipes, adding a special touch to every bite. The cozy atmosphere made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in a warm and inviting setting, this place is a must-visit!

Hidden gem! Nice authentic thai food & we whipped out the plates! Highly recommend the crispy pork! If you crave for thai food in japan, this place won't disappoint :) it would be better if there's tom yum soup with vermicelli. Friendly owner! Try their food, its gooood!

We think this is best Thai restaurant. We are only 3 people. But we ordered 5 orders. Hh so nice. Highly recommended

A lovely, calm evening enjoying a delicious dinner. We were so glad we called in during the day to book because the staff had to turn a number of customers without a reservation away. The food is freshly prepared and was very good. We ate fish cakes, which were a little tough but tasty. The green curry and stir fried chicken with cashew nuts were both great. Food is served at the counter and the restaurant is up two floors, so it isn’t too easy to find unless you look above you for its sign.

A hidden gem indeed (worth the adventure). The lovely Chef Ice from Bangkok, made us lovely scrumptious Thai food - recipe from her grandma and mama. To me it is more than just the food. Good people make the dining experience memorable too. I will definitely come back again.
