Menu at “Genpukan” (Photos, Prices, Review)
I visited for a holiday lunch on this day. There were 7 lunch menu options across three categories: authentic charcoal-grilled yakiniku sets, set meals, and donburi bowls, priced between 200-400 THB++.
I ordered the “Pork and Beef Mix Charcoal Yakiniku Set 300 THB++”. In addition to the yakiniku box (pork, beef, sausage, grilled vegetables, kimchi, namul), it came with rice, soup, barley tea, and shaved ice. The rice, soup, and barley tea were refillable.
The meat was coated in a sweet and savory sauce, but I was curious about the special 70-year-old sauce, so I tried dipping it into the secret sauce after grilling. It was rich and delicious. The spiciness was just right for Bangkok’s heat. The meat quality was also good.
