Address: I visited the Ratchada Branch in Esplanade shopping mall. CoCo Ichibanya, located at ground floor, when entering the front of Esplanade you’ll see it there on the left hand side. There are 10 CoCo locations in Thailand, in The Esplanade, Central Plaza Chaeng Wattana, MBK Center, Siam Paragon, K Village Sukhumvit 26, La Villa Phaholyothin, Central Festival Pattaya Beach, Paradise Park, Central World, Siam Center 4th floor, and Central Plaza Rama 3. You can see each location and address here.

CoCoICHIBANYA is a very famous curry house from Japan. This highly popular chain restaurant has been around for 30+ years so that says a lot! Also CoCoICHIBANYA is the largest curry chain restaurant in the world, with over 1,200 branches in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Korea. I consider those of us here in Thailand totally lucky to have this restaurant. ANd it’s in 10 locations, mostly in Bangkok, and in Pattaya. So be sure to check out this wonderful restaurant. If you love curry, you will love CoCo Ichibanya! Aroi mak!

The Menu: The menu is filled with various types of japanese curry. And the most popular is to create-your-own-curry. You can choose which curry base, what hotness level you want, and any/all additions you order will come in a little cup, for you to dump into the curry. They have pork, beef, vegetable, seafoods, and many more to choose from! If you love curry, then you will love CoCo! The complete CoCo Ichibanya menu can be seen here.
What I Ate: I eat the hot vegetable curry, #3 level hot curry sauce, with a side of tuna to put into the curry and rice. It’s 1 of my favorite dishes in all of Thailand! I have cravings for it regularly!
The Staff: They speak very little English, but are very friendly
The Bathroom: The bathrooms are located downstairs in Esplanade, they are very clean and big
