Bankara tonkotsu-shoyu with kakuni
The story behind the bowl
One of Bangkok's established Japanese ramen institutions, Bankara combines pork-bone richness, soy seasoning and back fat with a large piece of braised pork. Its long operating history and hundreds of independent traveler reviews make it a sturdier recommendation than a brief opening-week sensation.
Before you go: The standard bowl is already rich and salty. Choose back-fat and garlic additions after tasting, and use the Sukhumvit 39 branch when comparing reviews and directions.
