All 22 Beef Dishes

Stewed Bovine Tendon

Wattana Panich

Watthana·$

THB120.00

Gelatinous beef tendon braised in the perpetual broth until soft.

Tip: The tendon has a soft, gelatinous texture that's different from muscle meat. If you're new to it, order a small portion to try before committing to a full bowl.

Fine Noodles with Beef Mixed

Wattana Panich

Watthana·$

THB100.00

Thin rice noodles with sliced beef, stewed beef, and beef balls in perpetual broth.

Tip: The fine noodles get softer faster than regular rice noodles, so eat them quickly if you want them to retain some bite.

Beef with Rice (Khao Neua)

Wattana Panich

Watthana·$

THB100.00

Braised beef stew served over jasmine rice instead of noodles.

Tip: Ask for the broth on the side if you want to control how soupy your rice gets. The kitchen will give you a small bowl of extra broth to pour yourself.

Pad Si Ew with Beef

Wattana Panich

Watthana·$

THB80.00

Wide rice noodles stir-fried with beef, Chinese broccoli, and sweet soy sauce.

Tip: If you're sharing, order one soup and one pad si ew to get both wet and dry noodle experiences. The contrast works well.

Beef Red Curry

Jek Pui Curry

Chinatown·$

THB40.00

Red curry with tender beef in a coconut milk base.

Tip: At 40 baht per dish, you can afford to try 2-3 curries — mix and match to get variety on your plate.

Special XL Beef Pho

Pho Aroi

Bang Na·$

THB240.00

Extra-large pho with all beef cuts — brisket, shank, tenderloin, and meatballs.

Tip: The rare beef comes on the side so you can control how cooked it gets in the hot broth.

#795% recommend

Beef Noodle Soup (Gao-Lao)

Wattana Panich

Watthana·$

THB100.00

Rice noodles in 50-year perpetual broth with sliced beef, stewed beef, and beef balls.

Tip: Order extra beef slices for 20-30 baht. The beef is incredibly tender and the broth is rich enough to handle more meat.

#892% recommend

Pho with Rare Beef Shank

Pho Aroi

Bang Na·$

THB150.00

Classic pho with thinly sliced rare beef and tender shank.

Tip: Add the rare beef slices gradually — they cook in 10-15 seconds in the hot broth.

#990% recommend

Koobideh Kebab

Mohsen

Silom·$

THB200.00

Grilled skewer of seasoned ground lamb and beef mixed with onion and herbs.

Tip: This is 200 THB for a full skewer—often less than a Western burger. Order two and eat with rice or bread to make a complete meal under 500 THB.

#1090% recommend

Prime Beef Ribs

Bornga

Asoke·$$

THB650.00

Thick-cut bone-in beef ribs, lightly seasoned to let the meat shine.

Tip: Ask for medium-rare — the staff default to well-done unless you specify.

#1189% recommend

Beef Massaman Curry

Saneh Jaan

Lumphini·$$$

Rich Muslim-influenced curry with tender beef, potatoes, and roasted peanuts.

Tip: The beef is cooked until very tender. Multiple reviewers called this a standout — the Massaman here is richer and more complex than typical versions.

#1289% recommend

Galbi

Bornga

Asoke·$$

THB580.00

Korean short ribs, either marinated or salt-grilled.

Tip: The marinated version has more flavor, but the salt-grilled lets you taste the beef quality better.

#1388% recommend

Beef Massaman with Longkong Fruit

Wana Yook

Ratchathewi·$$$

THB4500.00

Traditional massaman curry with beef served alongside fresh longkong fruit.

Tip: If longkong fruit is out of season, Chef Black substitutes a different fruit that achieves similar acidity. Ask what's being used—it changes seasonally.

#1488% recommend

Angry Beef

Nahm

Sathon·$$$

Spicy beef stir-fry with strong, fresh flavors balancing heat and aromatics.

Tip: The name doesn't lie — this dish brings serious heat. Multiple reviewers recommend starting with the spicy crab and then moving to this as your main if you enjoy spice.

Braised Beef Short Rib with Massaman Spice and Parsnip Puree

Begin Again

Lat Yao·$$

THB520.00

Tender braised beef with traditional Massaman spices served with European-style root vegetable puree.

Tip: This is rich. Order a light appetizer or salad before it — the dish needs a palate reset.

Boat Noodles with Beef

Boat Noodle Alley

Thung Phaya Thai·$

THB15.00

Thin rice noodles in a rich, spiced broth with beef slices and pork blood cake.

Weeping Tiger (Neua Yang Nam Tok)

Chim by Siam Wisdom

Dusit·$$$

THB3550.00

Grilled beef with spicy dipping sauce and fresh herbs.

Tip: Ask for medium-rare — they default to medium. The herbal soup served alongside is subtle but important; it balances the spicy sauce.

#1987% recommend

Red Curry of Grilled Salted Beef and Pea Aubergines

Aksorn

Bang Rak·$$$

Traditional red curry with grilled salted beef and pea aubergines, duck eggs.

Tip: Pea aubergines are small and slightly bitter. They're traditional in old-style Thai curries and help balance the richness of the beef and coconut.

#2087% recommend

Beef Tataki

Dusit·$$

THB240.00

Seared beef sliced thin and served with a soy-citrus dipping sauce.

Tip: Ask for the beef tataki without over-cooking the sear. The owners understand the importance of rare centers — just a kiss of heat on the outside.

Slow-Braised Beef Short Rib

MIA

Khlong Tan·$$$$

Tender beef short rib braised until fork-tender, served with artichoke textures.

Tip: The braising process takes hours to achieve that melt-in-your-mouth texture. Pair it with the wine pairing option if you're doing the full experience.

#2284% recommend

Birria (Slow-Cooked Short Rib Stew)

Ojo Bangkok

Silom·$$$

THB1450.00

Ancestral Mexican stew with short ribs cooked 8+ hours in aromatic spices.

Tip: The consomé (sauce dip) is as important as the meat. Don't skip it—tear a piece of tortilla and dip in the sauce, then wrap meat.
