  Steak hanger was excellent and cooked perfectly. Great wine selection to pair with the meal. The bluefin carpaccio was fresh and delicious, and the dessert was a great way to finish the experience. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.

  Good steaks and nice wines! They have different premium cuts available each day. If you find the cut you like, make sure you grab it quickly before it is snatched away by some other table.

  It was a quiet night which I appreciated. From the hostess at the door to our waiter, what lovely staff. Food was amazing, you can watch them prepare it. Would definitely visit again if I was in Bangkok 💖

  Love the look of this place and the location at the end of Soi 20. Big parking lot which is a plus. Tons of space inside and it feels like it could be a great spot for groups. They didn’t have a band the night we went but apparently they do most nights. There’s also a nice private room available. Drink specials were solid and the appetizers were actually very good. The mains were a bit hit or miss. My steak wasn’t bad, but not great either and a little tough. My wife was not impressed with her lamb chops at all. My friend actually sent back his first steak but to be fair the restaurant handled it well. The manager was very apologetic and made him a new one. Overall, for the price, I just don’t think Ox & Embers is worth it unfortunately. The space and vibe are there, but the food didn’t quite justify the cost.

  Soooo… here’s my take on Ox & Ember 🐄🔥 Let me start with the positives—because there are quite a few. The location is fantastic, and the ambience? Rich, stylish, and definitely leaning into that “well-to-do steakhouse” energy. You walk in expecting something special… and visually, it delivers. Now, here’s where things get interesting. We visited on a weekday evening, and surprisingly, the place was nearly empty—just two occupied tables. On the plus side, that meant we had our pick of seating and plenty of attentive staff around. No complaints there at all. The menu is extensive and fairly reasonable… until you arrive at the beef section. At that point, it’s clear—this is where the restaurant truly begins its devotion to the cow. Honestly, the way they present and price the steaks, you’d think they revere beef the way it’s worshipped in India… except here, they absolutely do eat it 😄 The bread came out absolutely warm and soft on the inside crunchy on the outside with sprinkle of rosemary which added a really beautiful touch, served with high premium olive oil! The smell was very enticing! We started with the grilled octopus. Now, the chilies? Amazing. Flavorful, aromatic, and not spicy—just really enjoyable. But the sauce underneath the octopus was… underwhelming. Very flat. It lacked depth and didn’t really bring the dish together, aside from a bit of pepper doing most of the heavy lifting. Then came the potatoes. And… well… they were potatoes. No flair, no finesse, no “fine dining” twist—just something you’d expect at a casual pub. Perfectly edible, but nothing memorable. For mains, I ordered the beef tenderloin. Credit where it’s due—it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. But portion-wise? About the size of my palm. Minimal presentation too—just a steak, a bit of rosemary, and that’s it. At that price point, you do expect a little more creativity or accompaniment. My friend’s cut was noticeably fattier (which he didn’t mind), but again—it was simply a steak on a plate. No drama, no elevation—just… beef doing its thing. We also ordered a double portion of potatoes but ended up with what seemed like a single serving—likely a small miscommunication. Not a big deal though… we couldn’t finish them anyway. Now, the unexpected twist of the evening—the live music. In a nearly empty, upscale dining room, the band’s performance felt a bit out of sync with the setting. The volume was quite high, and the style didn’t quite match the refined atmosphere. In a space like this, softer jazz, blues, or even subtle Thai instrumental music would elevate the experience rather than compete with it. Fine dining should allow conversation—not require you to talk over it. Perhaps may have been different if the restaurant had more patrons? That said, the service was genuinely warm and attentive. Our server checked in thoughtfully, and while I didn’t have the heart to critique the octopus in the moment, the effort and hospitality were appreciated. Overall, Ox & Ember is a beautiful, classy spot with a strong identity—especially if you’re here for the steak experience. The wine list is also impressive and worth exploring. Would I recommend it? Yes—come and try it for yourself. Just know that while the setting promises a lot, the execution (at least on this visit) didn’t always rise to the same level.
