November 2026 | The Perfect Steak Is About More Than Just the Meat

In a career lasting more than five decades, I have handled literally thousands of tonnes of chilled beef.

More recently, although I have always been involved in restaurant ownership, I have handled rather less through our three branches of Bangkok Bob’s Steakhouse!

All this experience has allowed me to develop what I believe is the art of cooking the “Perfect Steak”.

I am reminded of a wise colleague who told me many years ago:

“First, buy the finest steak you can find.”

Good advice, and advice we still follow today.

Of course, buying the finest steak is only the beginning. At Bangkok Bob’s, we have added a few procedures of our own to make sure that what reaches your table is something special.

Firstly, we have our unique Butchers Room, where you can see the meat, choose your cut, select your size and decide which brand you would like. Whether you prefer Wagyu, grass-fed, grain-fed or organic, the choice is yours.

We then bring the meat to room temperature before cooking it on our world-famous Josper grill, using charcoal only.

Simple, really. But getting it right takes experience, care and attention to detail.

However, I believe there is another important ingredient that is often overlooked: the experience itself.

I have always been disappointed by the way many restaurants operate, with a menu placed in front of the customer almost before they have had time to sit down. At Bangkok Bob’s, I want us to be different.

We are certainly not a QSR (Quick Service Restaurant), and we have no intention of becoming one. We believe that when you are choosing a quality piece of meat, it deserves a little more attention. And so do you!

We also want you to see what you are buying, understand what you are choosing and enjoy having it prepared especially for you. A good steak takes time. While your meat is brought to temperature and prepared for cooking, why not enjoy a starter or a cocktail?

And remember, a good steak deserves the accompaniment of a good wine!

Our aim is not simply to serve you a steak. It is to make your visit memorable, so that you leave satisfied and tell your friends about it.

After all, we have spent years building our reputation for quality and value. I want the experience at Bangkok Bob’s to reflect that same commitment.

And if you ask me whether we serve the best steak in town, I would naturally say yes! But don't just take my word for it. Have a look at our reviews, then come and judge for yourself.

The finest steak. Your choice. Cooked properly. Enjoyed at your pace.

Please enjoy!
