  Such a fun place for a casual mookata night in Ekkamai! We came here for dinner with friends and ended up staying much longer than we expected because the atmosphere was just so enjoyable. The restaurant has a really nice open-air setting that gives it a relaxed and local feel. It doesn’t feel overly fancy or formal, which is exactly what makes it enjoyable for a mookata night. Once the evening starts, the lights, music, and busy tables create a lively atmosphere without feeling too overwhelming. It’s a great place to sit back, talk, eat, and enjoy a long dinner. The mookata itself was definitely the highlight. There was a good variety of pork, beef, vegetables, and seafood available, so everyone could find something they liked. The ingredients looked fresh, and there was enough variety to keep the meal interesting throughout the night. I really enjoyed cooking everything over the hot charcoal grill. The pork gets nicely grilled around the edges, while the seafood picks up that smoky charcoal aroma. You can cook everything at your own pace, and it makes the meal feel more interactive and fun than a regular dinner. The dipping sauce was also really enjoyable. It had a nice combination of spicy, sour, salty, and slightly sweet flavors, and it went especially well with the grilled pork and seafood. Having some fresh vegetables and other ingredients alongside the grilled meat also helped balance out the meal. Of course, mookata and cold drinks are a perfect combination, and having some soju while grilling made the night even more fun. It’s definitely the kind of place where you can order a bottle, share food around the grill, and spend a few hours just relaxing with friends. The portion and variety also make it easy to keep trying different combinations. You can start with some pork and vegetables, add seafood to the grill, then go back for your favorite items again. There’s something satisfying about having the grill right in front of you and watching everything cook while you eat. I also liked that the overall atmosphere feels very casual and social. You don’t have to dress up or make it a special occasion. It works just as well for a spontaneous dinner after work, a weekend hangout, or a late-night meal with friends. The location around Ekkamai Soi 24 is also convenient if you’re already in the Ekkamai area. After dinner, it’s easy to continue the night somewhere nearby or simply stay and enjoy the atmosphere here. Overall, this was a really enjoyable mookata experience. Good variety, fresh ingredients, tasty dipping sauce, smoky grilled food, cold soju, music, and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere all came together nicely. If you’re looking for a casual Thai BBQ night in Ekkamai where you can eat, drink, talk, and take your time, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try. It’s the kind of spot that works especially well with a group of friends, and I’d happily come back again for another mookata and soju night.

  Great Thai BBQ (Mookata). The place is quite popular with foreigner. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the food and the atmosphere make it worth it. Located in the CBD area, so it’s a convenient spot if you’re staying nearby.

  I’ve been to this place many times already, so it definitely deserves a review from me. The mookata here is very affordable, especially for people who are not into buffets and don’t eat much, like me. I usually order the small set to share with a friend, and we’re still full, paying around 200–300 per person. The ice cream is the best, and the live music is really good. The vibe is on point—it almost feels like eating mookata by the beach. The place is clean, and I like that there’s a barrier around the stove that prevents embers from flying into your face. There’s also free parking for 2 hours. It’s always been my favorite mookata spot.

  Thai style, open-air BBQ for friends, colleagues who would like gather after work. Enjoy pork menu, snacks, BBQ and local Thai music. Parking is available inside and a few more for street parking. Comparing to other this place has good atmosphere with clean toilet.
