About Fillets (Sushi)
Fillets has climbed to #298 on the Opinionated About Dining Asia list in 2025, making it one of Bangkok's most credibly ranked sushi counters. Led by chef Randy Noprapa and positioned inside the landmark One Bangkok development on Witthayu Road, it is the most accessible serious sushi option in central Bangkok right now — easy to book, OAD-recognised, and worth the visit for food-focused travellers.
Verdict: A Ranked Sushi Counter Inside Bangkok's Newest Mega-Development
Fillets has appeared on the Opinionated About Dining Leading Restaurants in Asia list three consecutive years — Recommended in 2023, ranked #306 in 2024, and climbing to #298 in 2025. That trajectory matters. OAD rankings are driven by votes from serious diners and industry professionals, so consistent upward movement signals a kitchen earning genuine repeat attention, not just opening buzz. If you are looking for a sushi counter in Bangkok that carries third-party validation and operates inside a landmark location, Fillets is the clearest current answer. Booking is easy by Bangkok sushi standards, which makes it an accessible entry point into the city's competitive Japanese dining tier.
The Setting: One Bangkok, Zone The Storeys
Fillets sits on the third floor of One Bangkok, the mixed-use development on Witthayu Road in Lumphini that opened as one of the largest urban projects in Thai history. Zone The Storeys positions the restaurant within a cluster of considered dining concepts rather than a generic food court. The spatial context matters here: One Bangkok was designed with a level of architectural intentionality that filters through to its food-and-beverage tenants. Expect a purpose-built counter environment with the controlled sightlines and focused seating that sushi formats require, rather than the improvised intimacy of older Bangkok sushi rooms. For explorers who track where serious dining concepts choose to open, the One Bangkok address is itself a signal about ambition and intended audience.
The Sushi Format and Chef
Chef Randy Noprapa leads the kitchen. Thai chefs operating at the leading of the Japanese cuisine tier in Bangkok are worth paying attention to — the discipline required to build credibility in this category is considerable, and OAD recognition at this level reflects quality that goes beyond surface execution. Without confirmed menu specifics in the current record, the OAD ranking and the sustained year-on-year improvement are the most reliable indicators of what you will find at the counter: technically serious sushi with enough consistency to register with informed voters across multiple years. For context on how Bangkok's sushi tier compares regionally, Harutaka in Tokyo and Sushi Shikon in Hong Kong represent the benchmark tier that ambitious Southeast Asian counters are measured against.
Weekend and Daytime Visits
One Bangkok's retail and dining floors are designed for daytime traffic, and a lunchtime sitting at Fillets is a practical option if you want a sushi counter experience without committing to a full evening. Lunch omakase formats at this tier of Bangkok restaurant typically run shorter and sometimes at a more accessible price point than dinner, though confirmed pricing is not currently available in the record. The One Bangkok location means weekend visits benefit from the wider complex , useful if you are combining dining with other errands or arriving from the BTS Ratchadamri corridor. For food and travel enthusiasts building a Bangkok itinerary, pairing a Fillets lunch with broader exploration of the One Bangkok food floor is a logical use of time.
Bangkok Sushi Context
Fillets competes in a genuinely deep category. Ginza Sushi Ichi brings a direct Tokyo pedigree. Sushi Masato holds strong name recognition among long-term Bangkok diners. In the Mood for Love and Nikaku occupy adjacent positions in the market, while Sushi Ichizu rounds out the set of counters worth knowing. Within that field, Fillets' OAD ranking places it in the conversation without yet reaching the top tier of that group. What differentiates Fillets is the trajectory: three years of consecutive OAD recognition, each year stronger than the last, inside a brand-new flagship development. That combination , rising ranking, easy booking, prominent address , makes it the most accessible serious sushi option currently operating in central Bangkok. Its Google rating of 4.4 across 193 reviews adds a broad-audience data point to the specialist recognition.
Who Should Book
Book Fillets if you want a ranked, OAD-recognised sushi counter with no serious booking friction, inside one of Bangkok's most considered new dining environments. It is the right call for food-focused visitors who want documented quality without navigating the waitlist pressure of the city's harder-to-book counters. If your priority is the longest-standing Bangkok sushi reputation, Sushi Masato or Ginza Sushi Ichi are the harder comparisons. If you are building a wider Bangkok trip, our full Bangkok restaurants guide, Bangkok hotels guide, and Bangkok bars guide cover the broader picture. For dining elsewhere in Thailand, PRU in Phuket and Aeeen in Chiang Mai are the strongest out-of-Bangkok options in their respective cities. Within Bangkok itself, AKKEE in Pak Kret and AKKEE Thai Delicacies and Tasting Counter in Nonthaburi represent the Thai fine dining side of the same serious-diner audience. You can also explore Bangkok experiences and Bangkok wineries to round out a visit.

How It Compares
FAQs
Can Fillets accommodate groups?
Sushi counters of this format are generally configured for small parties. Groups of two to four are the natural fit. If you are planning a larger group booking, contact the restaurant directly through One Bangkok's reservation channels , there is no confirmed private dining or group-seating arrangement in the current record, so check ahead rather than assume capacity exists for parties above six.
What should I order at Fillets?
Specific menu items are not confirmed in the current record. Chef Randy Noprapa leads a kitchen that has earned three consecutive years of OAD recognition, which points toward a technically serious omakase or chef-led format rather than an a la carte menu. Follow the chef's selection rather than arriving with a fixed order in mind , that is how counters at this tier are designed to be experienced.
Can I eat at the bar at Fillets?
Counter seating is the standard format for sushi restaurants at this level, so bar-style dining is likely the primary (and possibly only) option. This is a feature, not a limitation: direct counter access to the chef is part of what you are paying for. Confirm the exact seating configuration when booking.
Is Fillets good for a special occasion?
Three consecutive OAD rankings and a rising position in the Asia list give Fillets the credentials for a special occasion dinner. The One Bangkok setting adds a sense of occasion beyond the meal itself. For a special occasion where the venue address matters as much as the food, this combination works well. If maximum prestige is the goal and booking difficulty is acceptable, Sushi Masato has longer-standing name recognition in Bangkok's fine dining conversation.
What are alternatives to Fillets in Bangkok?
For sushi specifically: Ginza Sushi Ichi for Tokyo-lineage credentials, Sushi Masato for the most-discussed counter in the city, Nikaku and In the Mood for Love for adjacent options, and Sushi Ichizu for another ranked counter. For non-sushi fine dining, Sühring (German, ฿฿฿฿) and Gaa (Modern Indian, ฿฿฿฿) are the strongest alternatives at a comparable price tier.
Does Fillets handle dietary restrictions?
No confirmed dietary policy is available in the current record. Sushi omakase formats can be restrictive for guests with shellfish allergies or strict dietary requirements, as the menu is typically set by the chef. Contact the restaurant directly before booking if dietary restrictions are a factor , do not assume flexibility without confirming it.
Is Fillets good for solo dining?
Counter-format sushi is one of the leading solo dining formats in any city. At Fillets, a solo seat at the counter puts you in direct interaction with the chef and in the middle of the action without the social overhead of a table-for-one in a larger dining room. Solo diners should book a counter seat rather than a table if both options exist. Bangkok's sushi counters generally welcome solo bookings, and Fillets' easy booking difficulty makes this a low-friction choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Fillets (Sushi) accommodate groups?
Sushi counters are structurally better suited to pairs and small groups of three or four. Fillets sits inside One Bangkok's Zone The Storeys, which has the floor space to support pre- or post-dinner drinks for larger parties, but for the counter itself, keep groups to four or under if you want the full format to work. Larger groups should enquire directly about any private seating options.
What should I order at Fillets (Sushi)?
Specific menu items are not documented in available data, so ordering specifics are best confirmed at booking. What is clear is that Chef Randy Noprapa is operating at a level the Opinionated About Dining panel has recognised three consecutive years — trust the chef's selection over customising it. At a counter of this standing, an omakase or chef-led format is the format that earned the ranking.
Can I eat at the bar at Fillets (Sushi)?
Counter seating is the format at a sushi venue of this type, and it is where the OAD recognition applies. Whether Fillets operates a separate bar area with walk-in access is not confirmed in the venue record — check the venue's official channels to confirm counter versus table availability before you arrive.
Is Fillets (Sushi) good for a special occasion?
Yes, with the right expectations. Three consecutive years on the Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia list, including a jump from Recommended to #306 to #298, gives Fillets the credentials to anchor a meaningful dinner. The One Bangkok setting adds a considered backdrop. If you want a special-occasion sushi counter in Bangkok without serious booking friction, Fillets is a practical choice.
What are alternatives to Fillets (Sushi) in Bangkok?
Ginza Sushi Ichi brings direct Tokyo pedigree for those who want Japan-sourced lineage front and centre. Sushi Masato has strong name recognition among long-term Bangkok residents. Fillets sits alongside both on the OAD Asia list and offers easier access given its position inside One Bangkok — making it the most straightforward entry point into Bangkok's ranked sushi tier for first-timers.
Does Fillets (Sushi) handle dietary restrictions?
Dietary accommodation specifics are not confirmed in the venue record. In general, omakase and chef-led sushi formats require advance notice for restrictions — shellfish, roe, and raw fish are structural to the format, so significant restrictions can limit what the counter can deliver. Flag any requirements when booking, not on arrival.
Is Fillets (Sushi) good for solo dining?
A sushi counter is one of the few dining formats that genuinely works better solo than in a large group. At Fillets, solo diners get uninterrupted access to the counter experience that earned the OAD ranking. One Bangkok's ground-floor retail and bar options mean arrival and departure logistics are easy — a practical solo dining call in the Lumphini area.
