KO THNOT STEAK HOUSE — Restaurant in Khan Boeng Keng Kang

I was disappointed, to be sure. 😟They serve Australian Wagyu beef which is better than regular Australian beef, but by far inferior to Japanese Wagyu or American Black Angus. This restaurant is better than most, but not as good as one two streets away. I looked at the beef before they cooked it and it didn't look like wagyu beef, it looked more like USDA Choice beef, which is the second best. They don't dry age their beef, in fact, they freeze some of the beef. Plus the 400g steak looked more like a 300g piece of meat. The restaurant is nice and the service was very good. Everything we ate was very good, except for the steak. I ordered a 400g Rib Eye. My jaw was sore from chewing, there was a couple of bites that were tender, but still a chewy...

The restaurant itself is very nice, the service is excellent and the food is pretty impressive. I was slightly disappointed though, as one of the main reasons I went was to get a charcoal grilled steak... but when I went the grill was off and it was cooked on the hotplate instead. While it was perfectly nice, and you could tell it was decent quality meat, it was missing the smokey crust you can only get from a proper grill. I can only assume the reduced customers due to the apocalypse means that its not really feasible to have the grill going all the time, which is fair enough I guess. Shame, but would happily try them again the next...

Pretty good wagyu steak. Didn’t have the ribeye or sirloin cuts I wanted. That was disappointing. Got the 300 gram tenderloin. It was perfectly medium rare throughout. For the price ($$) more mashed potatoes and bread would have been nice. The mash was a dollop of foam less than you would use to shave with. Wasn’t sure if it was real mash or a power mix. Pepper sauce was good. Most steak places here give you some fruit or a small slice of cake after the meal. For a hundred bucks, That would have been nice too. The 20 dollar burger was very good. Don’t think the fries were hand cut....
