Review: Don Asado Argentine BBQ in Sathorn, Bangkok – Authentic Asado Experience in Thailand

Hello, everyone I am Chifumi Maeda, a Japanese female president living in Bangkok.

Thank you, guys, for visiting this

“True comments from Japanese female presidents living in Thailand” blog.

The restaurant that I am going to talk about is located deep inside of Yenakart Rd. Soi2

and is an Argentinian restaurant, Don Asado.

I live close to this restaurant and when I found out about this restaurant,

I was surprised to know that such a charming restaurant

has been standing here in the middle of a residential area.

There recently, has been number of restaurants that serves good food

has been increasing in the number which spices up our lives here.

But there are two sides on a coin.

But then again, we can solve such worries by increasing our dining out evenings.

So, the restaurant Don Asado;

Key Highlights of Don Asado Argentine BBQ in Sathorn, Bangkok

Overall Impressions of Don Asado in Sathorn

You will be surprised to see the size of the land that the restaurant is standing.

There is a parking space that easily parks more than 10 coach buses.

A large parking area is something that makes car users happy.

The time was around 18:00 when I came to the restaurant

and the place had not many people dining

but when we were leaving the restaurant after our wonderful dinner,

both the restaurant and the parking area was full.

The restaurant seat setting is very specious,

so that both small group diners and large group diners can enjoy their evening

without being disturbed by others.

The lightings are not too dark, not too bright. Just right.

And the interior is very fashionable.

It could also be nice to dine watching the live kitchen action.

Review of the Food at Don Asado Argentine BBQ

What food is Argentina famous for? “Beef” of course.

Don Asado mainly serves meat dish but they also have sea foods as well.

So if you are not a turf person, there are also foods for surfers.

They had 10 kinds of meats, which the reason I came there for, when we were there to dine.

We thought a 70 years old husband and a wife I soon-to be 50 probably

will not be able to finish a kilo of meat… so we ordered 400g of Angus beef ribeye steak. 

There Angus beef is American and Australian produce which is known for low in fat and soft red meat.

We wanted to taste the meat taste itself and therefore we ordered in medium rare. 

The plate is warmed up so as to keep the meat warm.

Nice service this is, I thought.

Don Asado prepares their meat on a charcoal fire which gives out crispy aroma in the mouth.   

But I was surprised to know that the Apple Tart dessert that

I’ve ordered was also baked on the charcoal fire. 

I am a meat lover but I also love River Prawn.

I once asked in a restaurant where their menu carried both lobster and River Prawn

so I asked the waiter which one that they would recommend and the waiter told me to

Rich taste of Prawn Butter is the characteristics of the River Prawn.

A River Prawn that is bigger than my palm.

This is also prepared on the charcoal fire.

Cooking fire is well controlled to bring out the sweetness of the Prawn Butter and the good taste of Prawn,

and the crispiness brought out by the charcoal fire spreads in my mouth. 

The dishes are with simple seasoning overall to bring out the taste of the ingredients.

Not too salty so that we can taste the natural taste of the ingredients to their best.

We had Strawberry salad before our Angus beef

which the taste was well balanced with cheese, balsamic, nuts, strawberry, and spinach.

This dish also allowed us to enjoy the taste of the ingredients.

We’ve enjoyed the food to our heart’s content that made my hubby worry that

Next time, I want to come to this Don Asado with friends

and enjoy the restaurant’s recommendation, a kilo of Tomahawk.
