Spice, Smoke and Sake  
Bangkok

After a standout year in Chinatown, Namsu Shan Izakaya is rerouting to a new home in bustling Sukhumvit. Reopening in February above Rangoon Tea House, the move marks a thoughtful evolution rather than a departure, with a perfect new location for Namsu’s relaxed yet discerning ethos.

Staying true to the soul of Shan cuisine, the restaurant is leaning further into a Shan-Izakaya vibe, blending bold, comforting flavours with Japanese bar culture. Expect an intimate, rockstar-tinged space with al fresco seating and a dedicated sake lounge. The menu will showcase Shan comfort food, yakitori, and small plates, all paired with highballs, sake, beer and wines.

Led by Chef Honey Rae Zenang, Namsu remains a deeply personal project rooted in cultural exchange. The relocation signals continuity, growth, and a more social, late-night future for one of Bangkok’s most distinctive dinign experiences.
