The story
Since 2001, New York Steakhouse at the JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok has been the city's definitive address for premium steak. Located on Sukhumvit Soi 2, this restaurant has held a consistent place in the MICHELIN Guide since 2018, a testament to its unwavering standards and the quiet mastery of Chef Samarn, who has been part of the family since 2005.
The dining room is designed to evoke a classic New York steakhouse, with wingback chairs and a polished, old-school atmosphere. It's a space that feels both elegant and genuinely welcoming—suited for a business dinner or a long, unhurried evening.
The menu is built around the finest cuts of beef, sourced from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States. The signature experience is the Australian Wagyu Beef Tomahawk, rubbed with a secret spice blend, marked on the grill, slow-roasted to order, then carved tableside. The Chateaubriand, cooked sous vide for four hours and finished with a veil of hickory smoke, requires 24-hour pre-order and is a quiet showpiece. For those who prefer something from the sea, the chilled seafood market—featuring live Maine lobster, oysters, and prawns—offers a generous alternative.
The kitchen also excels at the classics: a Caesar salad prepared tableside, French onion soup, and a Baked Alaska flambé that closes the meal with a bit of theatre. As BK Magazine noted, the restaurant is "both old school and superbly satisfying," with Head Chef Kevin B Thomson taking "serious pride in maintaining welcoming and flawless standards." Chef Samarn, the current culinary specialist, carries that same dedication forward.
With a MICHELIN recommendation spanning from 2018 through 2026, New York Steakhouse remains a benchmark for the steakhouse genre in Bangkok—consistent, confident, and quietly excellent.
