Decided to visit this store, which came highly recommended by a good friend based in Bangkok. I visited Wattana Panich on my last trip and decided to try out this beef hotpot this trip to see how they are different and which I would prefer.
The place is about a 10-minute walk from the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre Mrt Station (exit 1), where you will walk past the very local Khlong Toei Market enroute there. Most of the diners are locals and there aren't too many tables in the shop. I arrived at 1045am and was lucky to get a table. Suggest to go early and avoid the lunch crowd.
I ordered the beef hotpot as it's what's famous here. The owner who wears a headband spoke good English, and recommended I have the beef, shank, tendon and meatballs in my pot. I requested for extra shank served raw (so I could cook myself), as well as deep fried garlic and morning glory and a bowl of rice.
The food was served about ten minutes later, in a traditional hotpot with charcoal still burning in the pot. The meats which the owner recommended were also cooked in the pot and ready to eat. The beef, stewed beef and shank tasted great, while the meatballs and tendon were so-so. Not sure if it's because it has been cooked so the texture could sometimes be overcooked. The additional plate of raw shank I ordered cooked quickly when I dipped it into the hotpot, and it tasted superb. One thing I didn't really fancy was that the soup was abit too sweet, closer to the sukiyaki style.
All in all a good beef place that's not touristy, but need to be there early to...

We went for the medium-sized hotpot and boy, were we in for a treat! Picture this: a heavenly mix of beef shank, tripe, tongue, stomach, tendon, beef balls, and veggies, all simmering in a flavorful broth.
