Butcher Factory by Bangkok Butcher — Restaurant in Wat Arun Subdistrict

I had the opportunity to try all the steaks on the menu, and while most were underwhelming, two cuts stood out: the Picanha Dry-Aged (14 days) and the Denver Angus Grain-Fed. Despite my overall disappointment, the reasonable pricing makes the experience acceptable. If you’re dining here, my top recommendations are the Picanha, Denver, and Ribeye Cap Wagyu A4.

Unfortunately, the other cuts didn’t live up to expectations. The Bravette and Flank lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. As for the squid ink spaghetti, the noodles themselves were overcooked, likely due to being prepped in large batches, which affected the texture. The soups, while decent, didn’t leave a lasting impression.

One major downside was the slow service. If you’re considering the buffet option, I’d recommend sticking to à la carte instead, unless you want to try everything. The timing between orders in the buffet was inconsistent, and it took quite a while for the food to arrive, which disrupted the flow of the meal. Unlike a yakiniku buffet, where food comes quickly, this setup doesn’t work well for those who want a more streamlined experience.

Here are my individual ratings:

• Picanha: 8.5/10 • Denver: 8/10 • Bravette: 6/10 • Flank: 5/10

For sides and other dishes:

• Onion Soup: 6.5/10 • Truffle Soup: 6.5/10 • Fried Rice: 9.5/10 • Squid Ink Spaghetti: 6/10

One note on the Café de Paris sauce: it wasn’t what I’m typically familiar with, but it still tasted good, just different from the classic version.

Overall, I’d suggest focusing on the star cuts—Picanha, Denver, and Ribeye Cap Wagyu A4. The price point is fair for the quality, even if some of the dishes are...

We just literally left there 2 mins ago.

The place deserves a good review.

I am a steak lover and very precise about the level of meat cooked. Okay, so we booked through this Hungry Hub for a Premium Buffet for 1,399 baht per person. (works out around AUD$60 per person). They serve Thai-Wgyu beef which is why I am dying for it. The wait person has all the infos and suggestions, he was very helpful (he’s the keep, if owner was reading this). Call it marketing or whatever, we were happy with all of his rather honest suggestions. If you were expecting A5 wagyu, stay away. If you were into dry-aged/wet-aged meaty kinda beef come!! To me with this price range, when you asked for a medium rare most likely you would get a medium/well done. At this Butcher Factory, we actually get a medium rare!!! surprisingly! (I mean a bit of rare here and there is forgivable)

For all the beef lovers, who want to try a version of Thai beef, Butcher Factory is highly recommended. Dude, AUD$50-60 Buffet…you cannot find it anywhere. I am not a big eater myself but still worth the price.

PS. Try their lamb cutlets, last time I had lamb was the NZ baby lamb rack which was amazing. Let’s say theirs were beyond my expectation. Also, their cheese sauce is drools!!! Maybe it’s the Asian in me but man!…at least try it!

Please do keep the standards. Also, let your kitchen staffs know how important it is to have the meat doneness right. People should have more passion if they had an opportunity to cook or be able to cook. Meat is only good when the person knows how to cook it.

Shall be back again. 😊

Food: 4/5; Service 0/5; Atmosphere: 2/5

I had lunch here. When we arrived, we asked for a table. The waiter dressed in blue curtly replied, "No seat." I gestured at two empty tables inside. The waiter replied again, "Can't you see? No seat." I asked whether we could seat outside. The waiter replied, "Not enough chair for you." He conceded. We sat. He then rolled his eyes.

He left us outside, 2pm in the Bangkok heat, with no menu and no drinks. Soon, another staff dressed in brown, seemingly more placatory, came out and said he would find us a table inside. He passed us menus and asked us to order drinks. Meanwhile, the two tables I gestured at, apparently "reserved," remained empty for the duration of our whole meal.

We ordered Picanha with Truffle Sauce, Skirt Steak, Ribeye with Cafe De Paris sauce, Striploin with Black Pepper sauce, among others.

Picanha and truffle sauce was excellent and well-cooked. Skirt was poor. It was tough and closer to well-done than the medium we ordered. Ribeye was tender, but under-seasoned and its sauce mediocre. Striploin had a pronounced dry-aged funk, but it was on the dry side and the black pepper sauce starchy. Both ribeye and striploin were cooked to expectation. The side dishes however, were poor.

Overall, this place's high price point, lackluster service, and lack of attentiveness to the finer details gives one a very low value on money. I would give this...
