Why Locals Love Bar-B-Q Plaza
Located in the bustling heart of Bangkok’s Phra Khanong district, Bar-B-Q Plaza offers an inviting gateway into the world of authentic Thai barbecue, known locally as “MooKaTa.” This unique style of dining seamlessly combines grilling and boiling on a dome-shaped pan, delivering a memorable multi-sensory culinary experience that guests keep coming back for.
At Bar-B-Q Plaza, the menu boasts a variety of fresh, high-quality meats and vegetables designed to satisfy both BBQ aficionados and those new to this style of eating. The star of the show is undoubtedly the “MooKaTa” itself — a dome pan where meats sizzle to perfection while surrounded by a flavorful broth simmering vegetables. Imagine tender beef slices kissed by heat, enhanced by a signature chili sauce that adds just the right kick, and crispy vegetables softened in savory soup, creating a brilliant interplay of textures and tastes.
Longtime fans like Lucy Luz praise the restaurant’s uniquely tantalizing sauces that perfectly complement the pork, and Bryan Lee aptly highlights the freshness and method of preparation that sets Bar-B-Q Plaza apart from conventional barbecue spots. Whether you’re indulging in generous birthday combo sets as John de j3k did or savoring refreshing chrysanthemum tea to balance the warmth of grilled meat like Soe CL, the experience is consistently satisfying and wallet-friendly.
The atmosphere at this Sukhumvit location is refreshingly calm, a welcome reprieve from Bangkok’s usual hustle. Its quiet and relaxed vibe makes it an excellent spot for gathering with friends or family to celebrate special occasions without stress. Attentive and friendly staff go out of their way to make every visitor feel comfortable, including foreigners who might be new to this culinary tradition.
For those eager to avoid the usual crowd, arriving early—around opening at 11 a.m.—is a savvy tip to enjoy the full 100-minute dining time without waiting. With affordable prices and dishes that encourage continuous ordering, Bar-B-Q Plaza is more than just a meal; it’s an immersive way to enjoy Thai barbecue culture in a welcoming and laid-back setting.
Whether you’re a local craving an authentic taste or a traveler seeking a genuine culinary adventure, Bar-B-Q Plaza promises an experience as warm and satisfying as the sizzling “MooKaTa” itself.

I ordered the birthday set, and it came as a big combo that was really worth the price. The food tasted good and the service matched what you’d expect for the cost. This branch has a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, which makes it comfortable to sit and enjoy your meal. It’s a nice place for celebrating special occasions in a simple, no-stress way, and the prices are easy on the wallet.

Fantastic Barbecue place! When talk about Barbecue usually people will relate it with dryness, charcoal etc. This restaurant use a “MooKaTa” (meaning pork pan), a dome shape pan, where you can pour some soup at the side of the pan, cooking the vegetable whole barbecue the meat on the dome shape pan. The beef is particularly nice, came with some chili sauce on top of it, once you barbecue it and dip it with their signature sauce, it taste just fantastic. The signature sauce is a kind of Japanese miso sauce, but I was told it is not any miso sauce you can get outside a heavily guarded secret recipe by the restaurant. Mix the sauce with some green chili, garlic and a bit of lemon juice, you can literally enjoy everything with this sauces Highly recommended! One more thing, the coconut ice-cream was very nice too!

This is the best Thai barbecue restaurant for me. I have been a fan for BBQ Plaza for more than ten years. The best part for me is the sauce. It's taste very unique and suit with pork.

Thai style barbeque. The food quality is good but the price is quite high. They offer unlimited shredded cabbage. The store is quite understaffed and it's really hard to get their attention. The food came out a bit slow

Bar B Q Plaza, one of my favorite restaurant chain in Thailand especially if they do the promotion buffet! I can eat Bar Q Plaza every week, if I got time. Dinner time mostly crowded, always queq up at night! If you never try Bar B Q Plaza, you must try it, a different way to have BBQ, feels more healthy in my diet. The cabbage are unlimited to eat, and the drinks also provide buffet section 28-49 baht. Introduced to everyone one of you lol Btw, I more like their porks. Thumbs up This branch is on second floor, connected with BTS Onnut Station, quite convenient, and the mall also have parking lots as well.
