Lawry's The Prime Rib Bangkok

Lawry's The Prime Rib traces its roots to Beverly Hills in 1938, and its Bangkok branch occupies the third floor of Gaysorn Amarin on Phloen Chit Road. The dining room is formal in a celebratory way, with a VIP room for private parties and a self-serve wine dispenser for tasting by the glass.

Prime rib is the reason to come. US beef, including Certified Angus Beef, is wet-aged for at least 21 days, seasoned with the house spice blend, slow-roasted and carved at the table from a temperature-controlled silver cart. The Lawry's Cut is the classic order, served with mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and creamed spinach, and the spinning bowl salad is dressed tableside. USDA Prime steaks, lamb, live lobster and an oyster bar cover other tastes.

It suits birthdays and family celebrations, and the all-day opening makes it a good lunch choice in the Ratchaprasong shopping district. Last food orders are at 10pm. Lawry's also operates in Hong Kong and Tokyo. Chit Lom BTS connects directly to Gaysorn.
