Hashiri is a modern Japanese restaurant inside The Athenee Hotel on Wireless Road. It serves lunch from 11.30am to 2.30pm and dinner from 6pm to 10pm, closing on Tuesdays. The menu spans tasting formats, à la carte dishes and set lunches, which makes it more flexible than a counter where every guest must commit to the same long progression.
The decision is less about whether the ingredients sound luxurious and more about how you want the occasion to unfold. The restaurant’s published tasting menu has been listed at THB 3,800++, while prices, courses and seasonal ingredients can change. Check the live menu, add service charge and tax to the budget, and tell the team about allergies or ingredients you avoid before confirming.
Choose The Format
The tasting menu suits a special evening when everyone wants the kitchen to set the pace. À la carte ordering works better for mixed appetites, repeat visits or diners who want to focus on a few ingredients. Lunch sets can provide a more contained introduction. Do not assume the same menu is offered at every service; check the current document when booking.
Understand The Price
A menu marked THB 3,800++ becomes more after service charge and VAT, before drinks. Ask whether the whole table must take the tasting menu and whether supplement dishes are optional. Wine, sake and premium tea can materially change the total, so decide whether beverages are part of the occasion or whether water and one shared bottle are enough.
Modern Japanese Style
Hashiri describes its cooking as Japanese haute fusion rather than a strictly traditional omakase. Expect premium Japanese ingredients presented with contemporary technique and a composed dining-room rhythm. Guests seeking silent counter theatre or only classic nigiri should compare the current menu carefully. Diners open to seafood, wagyu and creative plating are a more natural fit.
Dietary Requests
Tasting menus depend on preparation done before the guest arrives, and seafood or soy can appear in stocks, sauces and garnishes. Contact the restaurant before booking with allergies, pregnancy-related restrictions, vegetarian needs or religious requirements. Asking at the table may leave fewer alternatives. A clear answer from the kitchen is more useful than assuming luxury automatically means unlimited flexibility.
Lunch Or Dinner
Lunch is practical for business meals, a quieter introduction or a day built around Central Embassy and Wireless Road. Dinner feels more ceremonial and allows the meal to become the evening’s anchor. Traffic around Ploenchit can be slow after work, so add a buffer. If the table has theatre or drinks booked later, tell staff rather than compressing the final courses.
Getting There
The Athenee Hotel is at 61 Wireless Road, within walking distance of BTS Phloen Chit. The walk is manageable, but Bangkok rain and evening heat can make a short taxi from another hotel appealing. Drivers know the Athenee more readily than the restaurant name. Hotel valet parking is convenient for a designated driver; confirm current validation rules.
Booking Well
Reserve for Friday and Saturday dinners, celebrations and any tasting-menu plan. Include the occasion, dietary notes and preferred format in the message. A later reservation is not automatically more romantic if the group is hungry by 7pm. Choose the time that lets everyone arrive composed, then ask about cancellation terms because premium ingredients may be ordered for the booking.
Who Should Book
Hashiri fits couples, small celebrations, visiting food enthusiasts and hotel guests wanting a polished Japanese meal without leaving central Bangkok. It is less suitable for young children who need a fast dinner, diners with a very narrow ingredient range or groups primarily seeking inexpensive sushi. The à la carte option can bridge some differences, but it does not change the luxury setting.
Build The Evening
Keep the rest of the night simple. A drink at the hotel before dinner or a short walk around Ploenchit afterwards is enough. Crossing town for a second major booking risks turning a careful meal into a timetable. If Hashiri is the reason for going out, give it the space, appetite and attention of the main event.
