G-I-Y
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 31/01/2014
» Is it just us or does yakiniku inspire both delight and dread? The delight comes from the fact that many of such places in Bangkok run on an all-you-can-eat basis so you can heartily gorge. The dread is because you're likely to come away thinking about the number of days at the gym it will take to burn off all the calories. With a new look and policy, AKA is geared towards an accessible yakiniku experience that isn't excessive. It now runs on a la carte basis only with new food items to be available from tomorrow (Feb 1). The revamped AKA goes for a modern and industrial feel sans sake casks. The conversation piece is a chart showing different cuts of beef (to help you locate where your teeth land on a cow to get your appetite going, we suppose). With a facade made of shipping containers and wallpaper featuring old bricks and barred windows, the atmosphere may make someone feel like they are eating at a port, albeit a clean one.
