Tonkatsu sets in room 502

Tonkatsu Saboten Central Pattaya is in room 502 on the mall’s fifth floor. The Japanese specialist serves breaded pork, prawn and mixed pork-and-prawn tonkatsu sets, with kushikatsu skewers also documented. The Saboten format includes grinding fresh sesame at the table for its tonkatsu sauce.

Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are available, and the branch uses Central Pattaya’s parking. Google displayed a 4.5/5 rating across 22 reviews on 24 July 2026.

The official Wongnai branch profile also records a 2026 visit and lists two published branch telephone numbers.

Widely different spending bands

Wongnai displayed a THB 101-250 per-person spending tier on 24 July 2026. Google’s user-reported range was much higher at THB 400-600 per person. The accepted record does not include a current numeric item menu that could reconcile the difference.

Treat both ranges as broad platform guidance. Check the live branch or delivery menu for the present cost of a pork, prawn or mixed set and any sides before ordering.

An earlier daily close

The published schedule is 11:00-20:30 daily, an earlier close than many restaurants in the mall. The venue is on the fifth floor rather than at street level. Its published direct number is +66 64 841 1211.

Saboten Thailand operates through President Green House Foods, associated with President Bakery. May 2026 reporting said six Thai branches remained, including Central Pattaya, after the CentralWorld branch closed. The operator site confirms the Pattaya branch but does not publish its opening year.

Benihana at Avani Pattaya

Benihana at Avani Pattaya is the local outpost of the famous Japanese-American teppanyaki brand, set inside the Avani Pattaya Resort on Beach Road. It's dinner-as-theatre: you sit around a communal hot iron griddle while a chef dices, sears and flips steak, seafood and vegetables in front of you, complete with the knife-juggling and onion-volcano routine the chain built its name on. Alongside the teppanyaki tables there's a Kabuki sushi bar rolling fresh sushi and sashimi, and the dining room looks out over Pattaya Bay, so you get a view with the show. This is one of Pattaya's more polished Japanese rooms rather than a cheap eat: expect hotel-restaurant pricing, with teppanyaki sets and premium cuts (Hibachi steak, Seafood Diablo, the 'Rocky's Choice' combo) pushing the bill up, though set menus and Hungry Hub-style deals soften it. The experience suits couples marking an occasion, families who want the kids entertained by the cooking, and anyone after a reliable, well-run teppanyaki night with a sea view. The trade-offs are the obvious ones for a resort restaurant: it's pricier than the town's standalone Japanese spots, the communal griddle seating means you may share a table with strangers, and it books up on weekends and holidays. Reserve ahead, ask for a window-side teppanyaki counter, and go hungry — portions are generous and the show is the point.
