Bangkok, Thailand, January 3, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener, a renowned New York-based top-tier steakhouse, recently opened its first location in Thailand at One Bangkok. This marks its 40th location worldwide. The grand opening was hosted by Peter Zwiener, President and Co-Founder of Wolfgang's Steakhouse, along with Prasert Laorphanpon and Sohei Urakami, Co-owners of Wolfgang's Steakhouse Thailand.

“The name Wolfgang’s Steakhouse comes from my father, Wolfgang, who worked for 40 years at another steakhouse in New York City,” Peter Zwiener explained. “We decided that when he retired 20 years ago, I would contribute my business experience (as a banker) and he would contribute his knowledge of food and steaks to open the best steakhouse in the world. We opened our first Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in New York in 2004.”

“Our focus is on using top-quality ingredients, especially USDA Prime beef. We take full responsibility for our beef. We work directly with the best ranches and slaughterhouses in the US and also import Maine lobster from the US. We source other seafood and fish locally,” said Mr. Zwiener.

“Besides the cuisine, we place great emphasis on the ambiance and excellent service of our restaurant. The interior design is inspired by classic New York steakhouses of 1912 and features historical photographs that tell stories of enduring values ​​and traditions. This design combines timeless charm with a modern fine-dining experience.”

At the soft opening dinner, chef Kenny Nattawat Ariyawisutsri, head chef of Wolfgang's Steakhouse Thailand, presented a selection of signature dishes that authentically reflect the essence of New York.

  • Jumbo Prawn Cocktail: Large prawns served with Wolfgang's signature cocktail sauce.
  • Wolfgang's Crab Cakes: A special recipe with first-class, juicy crab meat, served with remoulade.
  • Beverly Hills Chopped Salad: A classic Californian-style salad with finely chopped fresh vegetables and Wolfgang's special dressing.
  • Crispy bacon: Thickly sliced ​​bacon, grilled to perfection for a smoky, crispy aroma.
  • Lobster bisque: A rich and creamy soup made with fresh Maine lobster, refined with exquisite spices.

    • The main course was a porterhouse steak, prepared with USDA Prime beef, the highest quality grade of the USDA, served with side dishes such as German potatoes and creamed spinach.

    “Our steaks are flown in directly from the USA and are kept chilled (never frozen). They then mature for 28 days under strictly controlled conditions. This gives the beef tenderness and an excellent, earthy flavor,” explained head chef Kenny.

    A special feature of the restaurant is the announcement "Sizzling" shouted out in unison by the staff when the steaks are served sizzling, to remind guests to handle the hot plate carefully.

    For dessert, the guests enjoyed the New York Style Cheesecake, a classic recipe with a smooth and creamy texture, served with rich whipped cream for the perfect balance of sweetness.

    Wolfgang's Steakhouse emphasizes the use of regional ingredients, such as fresh fish and vegetables from Thailand, to create a more diverse menu. Other recommendations include the classic seafood platter, apple strudel with ice cream, pecan pie, and the classic hot fudge sundae.

    The restaurant harmoniously blends classic and modern elements, offering an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the outdoor area with its whisky bar and exquisite wine collection of over 2,000 bottles from renowned regions such as Napa Valley, South America, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. Thanks to the al fresco seating, guests can savor their meals while enjoying breathtaking views of Bangkok at night.

    “Besides excellent service with attention to detail, outstanding quality, excellent food, exquisite wines, a great ambiance and first-class training, we focus on making every guest at Wolfgang's Steakhouse feel like a VIP and very special to us. That's how we created the Wolfgang brand,” Mr. Zwiener concluded.

    Wolfgang's Steakhouse Bangkok is currently open daily from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM. From mid-January 2025, the plan is to offer all-day service daily from 11:30 AM to 11:30 PM.
