Kokinaemsae Samyan
280 Soi Chulalongkorn 11, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330
Start with the marinated pork and let the staff keep the kimchi, steamed egg, and seaweed soup flowing. Order in waves, not stacks. The 298-baht starter tier is the easiest way in if you have never done unlimited Korean BBQ, and the no-time-limit rule is the real reason regulars settle in.
Walk up Soi Chulalongkorn 11 and the smell of grilled pork finds you before the signage does. Kokinaemsae Samyan runs an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ counter that opens at 298 baht for unlimited time, which in Bangkok buffet language means you can sit for two hours and nobody hurries you out.
The menu is pork-led.
You order in rounds rather than ordering everything at once. Marinated pork, plain pork, fattier cuts, leaner cuts, and the staff bring fresh plates as the grill clears, so the table never piles up with half-eaten meat. The side dishes do the heavy lifting in the background: corn, kimchi, steamed egg, seaweed soup, pickled vegetables, fresh greens, and the house dipping sauce, all refilled without you asking. Water and ginger ale come in with the 298-baht tier, which keeps the bill predictable for a student-heavy Samyan crowd that knows the math on every soi.
The room sits about 507 meters from MRT Sam Yan, so it is a true walk-up rather than a mall tenant, and the grills run on the standard tabletop Korean setup that lets you turn the meat at your own pace. Bring a friend who eats slowly and you both win, because pacing is the whole game here.
Go with at least two people, lead with the marinated pork, and let the side dishes do the work between rounds rather than ordering everything in the first ten minutes.
