Why you should experience Bangkok77 in Tokyo, Japan.
Bangkok77 is an exuberant Thai restaurant where Kabukicho's after-dark energy, Thai chefs, nightly live singers and a kitchen spanning regional staples carry Bangkok-style dining deep into the Shinjuku night.
Set along the streets between Yasukuni-dori and Seibu-Shinjuku Station and just steps from Shinjuku Toho Building, the restaurant occupies the fifth floor of WaMall Kabukicho with 60 seats arranged around a dedicated performance stage. Thai singers perform nightly within view of the dining room, placing live music alongside a kitchen led by Thai cooks and a bar pouring draft Singha, cocktails and other drinks. Original Herb Bangkok Chicken leads a menu extending through tod man goong, pad Thai, gapao rice, khao man gai and curries, with service continuing until 5 a.m. across the week. The result is a Kabukicho restaurant where Thai cooking and nightly performance share equal billing across a long service window suited to the district around it.
What you should know about Bangkok77.
Bangkok77 is best known for opening its current WaMall Kabukicho restaurant on June 17, 2023 after relocating from an earlier seventh-floor address at 1-4-12 Kabukicho, preserving the Bangkok77 name within the same Shinjuku entertainment district. The present operation occupies the fifth floor at 1-18-9 Kabukicho, placing it 150 meters from Seibu-Shinjuku Station and 250 meters from JR Shinjuku Station. Sixty seats include five counter places and a six-person private room, with the dedicated stage visible throughout the principal dining area. Thai singers perform live each day, and Thai chefs lead a menu designed around the balance of heat, sweetness and acidity associated with the country's cooking. Bangkok77 remains open year-round from 11 a.m. until 5 a.m., spanning lunch, dinner and the late-night period within a single continuous operation.
Original Herb Bangkok Chicken gives the current menu its house specialty, combining several spices and herbs in a preparation developed specifically under the Bangkok77 name. Tod man goong brings minced shrimp into fried cakes, and kung chae nam pla pairs raw shrimp with fish sauce for a sharper Thai preparation built around salinity and chile. Moo manao moves toward pork with citrus sauce, followed by moo tod daew diaw and herb-coated fried pork across the appetizer selection. Pad Thai, gapao rice, khao man gai and Thai curries broaden the kitchen through noodles, rice and familiar one-plate dishes, giving the restaurant a repertoire substantial enough to support both lunch and extended nighttime dining. Draft Singha supplies the clearest Thai connection behind the bar, joining cocktails and larger drinking packages that extend Bangkok77's format into Kabukicho's late-night hours.
How to fold Bangkok77 into your trip.
Bangkok77 works as the dining destination within a Kabukicho route connecting an Edo-period shrine, Toho's enduring relationship with Godzilla and the 225-meter entertainment tower built on the former Shinjuku Milano-za site.
Begin at Hanazono Shrine, whose history in Shinjuku predates Kabukicho by centuries and whose present sanctuary was completed in 1965 after wartime destruction. Tori-no-Ichi fills the grounds each November with kumade vendors and nighttime stalls, preserving an Edo-period commercial tradition beside the surrounding entertainment streets. Continue to Shinjuku Toho Building, opened in April 2015 on the former Shinjuku Koma Theater site with Toho Cinemas Shinjuku and Hotel Gracery Shinjuku inside the 130-meter complex. Godzilla Head rises from the eighth-floor terrace 40 meters above street level, connecting Toho's 1954 screen creation directly with a property developed by the studio in Kabukicho. Conclude at Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, opened in April 2023 on the former Shinjuku Milano-za site as a 48-story entertainment complex rising 225 meters. Zepp Shinjuku, Theater Milano-za and 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku continue the property's association with live performance and cinema through a new generation of venues. Bangkok77 closes the progression nearby at WaMall Kabukicho, where Thai singers and a kitchen operating until dawn extend the district's entertainment culture directly into dinner.
