Sorry if it's been mentioned here already, but I went to "The great American rib Co." on Soi 36 (I think) a couple of weeks back.

For 600 baht between us, my wife and I had so much food in a meal for two that not only could we not finish it, but the doggie bags filled our fridge at home.

Bloody good food as well.

If you're up for American food and in the northern part of Bangkok, there is a great new American restaurant that just opened last week next to Rangsit University called Boomerang's. Was talking with the owner and he told me they stole one of the cooks from Outback at Siam Center.

Full slab of ribs that will match the quality anywhere in Bangkok for 249 baht. (Half slab 149) Really good cheese burger for 99 baht. They have deep fried mushrooms on their menu, but they were out the night I was there so no chance to try them.

Since they've only been open for a week I haven't had an opportunity to try most of their menu, but what I have tried has been very good.

Today's post is a big beef!

As a follow up to my last about a certain restaurant / bar on Soi 8 that is part of a hotel, wanted to update you on my experience today.

Ordered a cheeseburger (seemed simple enough). 40 mins later a monster of a burger showed up on my table, presented very nice with fries and coleslaw. So much for first impressions...

Sadly, when I cut through the burger it revealed something more appropriate for steak tar tar - absolutely raw (not pink, raw) on the inside.

After waiting for my raw cheeseburger for 40mins, it was the last straw for me. Paid for my coke and left. Won't be back sad to say, as the service girls are nice.

For good pizza and pasta lovers, Via Vai Restaurant in Sukhumvit Soi 8, just a short walk from Nana BTS, is having a great set of 7-day-a-week lunch specials, as well as Tuesday and Wednesday night dinner specials.

Do they still have their buffet? I remember almost 3 years ago I went there a few times for their buffet, and I was quite pleased with their spread. It was a good price as well, B240 or something. I know things change fast in the restaurant biz, but that was my favourite "good value" buffet downtown.

I'm thinking of exploring tonight, and trying out a Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat near the river in Pinklao. I used to go to one on Phahon Yothin near Kasetsart that was good value, B89 for all you can eat with seafood, beef, pork, chicken and veggies that you cook yourself. As long as you are careful to cook everything fully, these places are great. I haven't been in years, so maybe I'll try the one near me, and report.

I had the lunch special today, which for 199 baht plus tax gave me my choice of any regular size pizza or pasta dish along with an all-you-can-eat salad bar that was well stocked with a variety of Italian antipasti along with the salad basics.

Stopped by Via Via last week and had the 199 baht special. The salad bar is great, with roasted veggies and antipasto. Its not a huge spread but everything tastes terrific especially the roasted eggplant and zuchinni! I don't even like salad much but I had 3 servings. The pizza took a bit of time to get there but was also very tasty and large. I would dare to say, it does compare well to those at Limoncello, especially price wise. My friend managed to eat the whole thing, while I took more than half a pizza home.
Excellent value--thanks JF Chandler!!!

I also want to mention that the owner/managers were quite friendly. At first, I thought they looked a bit like mafia types, but my friend introduced himself and we ended up having a tour of all the restaurant explaining all the fine pictures they have of historical performers, directors, etc.

Time to revive this thread again...

Via Vai is still going strong - went there last week with a friend from out of town.  Same good deal, though that day they slightly undercooked the pasta.

Been seeing a lot of buffet offerings lately, there's a place at CentralWorld (can't recall the name, begins with a G) with an all you can eat international buffet at 399... Kuroda on Ekamai still has their all-you-can-eat Japanese at 399 but they are raising the price to 450 from April 15th.  Be forewarned, however, that the food they serve is not always consistent and seems to change with whichever cook and whatever ingredients.

Anyone found any new places lately?

Molly Malone's Irish Pub in Convent Silom has a lunch deal. 199 baht for any of the following during 12 and 2pm everyday including weekends.
Fish & Chips
Rib Eye Steak egg and chips
Pork Chop & Onion Gravy with mash
Bangers & Mash
BBQ pork ribs
Corned beef and cabbage
Irish Smoked Bacon Loin with mash

thats good value for an irish pub. the portions are the same as the normal menu.

Agree with onnut, had a bite to eat this week, better than expected.
Hope they going to have some promotions on foreign brewed beers and wine.
Not bad
