789 Izakaya

If you find yourself in Yasothon and crave Japanese after dark, 789 Izakaya is the spot the locals talk about. It’s a small, lively room on Witthayathamrong Road where the grills work overtime and cold beer lands fast. Start with sashimi that’s surprisingly fresh for upcountry, then move to the crowd-pleasing sushi rolls — the salmon “lava” and prawn tempura rolls are the first to disappear off a shared table. This is classic Thai-leaning izakaya territory: skewers off the grill, crunchy karaage, quick bites that pair nicely with a big pour. Prices are fair, the staff are friendly, and service moves at a pace that suits a late dinner or a casual beer session. Keep an eye out for beer promos — they run them often enough to make a second round an easy decision. Practicalities: 789 Izakaya sits at 386/8 Witthayathamrong Rd in Nai Mueang (Mueang Yasothon). Doors open from 4:30pm to midnight daily, with weekends drawing the biggest crowd. Easy to pop in for a low-key dinner or settle in with friends and a few plates to share.
