The Crystal Grill House sits directly on the banks of the Chao Phraya River at Asiatique The Riverfront — one of Bangkok’s premier lifestyle and heritage destinations. It specializes in premium international grill cuisine, focusing on the finest cuts of beef and expertly prepared seafood.

OVERVIEW

Step into a glamorous world of gastronomy and mixology at The Crystal Grill House, a refined departure from the traditional grill-house format, located on the banks of Bangkok’s “River of Kings.” Here, guests can unwind in stylish surroundings — whether at the vibrant vintage glasshouse bar, alfresco terrace with river views, or within one of five bespoke private dining pavilions inspired by global trading nations. The open-plan kitchen puts the dramatic Josper wood-fired grill front and centre, while the bar serves signature cocktails and fine wines. Whether you are looking for sunset drinks, a memorable steak dinner or an elegant celebration, the venue offers flexible spaces — casual counter seating, outdoor terrace, intimate bar, and exclusive private rooms — all designed to host everything from after-work gatherings to milestone events.

AMBIENCE

The décor at The Crystal Grill House blends sophisticated glasshouse architecture with lush greenery, river views and a rich sense of global heritage. Inside the glass pavilion, vintage finishes and sleek bar seating create a chic social environment. The private dining pavilions each reflect the aesthetic of countries that traded with Thailand in the early 1900s — America, India, Persia, China and Japan — providing an elegant, themed backdrop for special occasions. Outdoor terrace seating invites guests to soak in the river breeze and city lights, while the open-plan kitchen brings energy and transparency to the dining experience. Overall, the design style is modern, refined and steeped in travel-inspired luxury.

MUST TRY

Australian Black Opal Wagyu (300 g, 380-day aged rib-eye) — a sumptuous premium steak famed for its exceptional marbling and butter-soft texture, grilled over Josper wood-fire and optionally elevated with duck foie gras, king crab leg or jumbo tiger prawn.

FOOD

At The Crystal Grill House we offer an indulgent journey through premium ingredients and expert techniques. Starters include Tenderloin Steak Tartare using 150-day aged grain-fed beef and luxurious egg-yolk jam, and Grilled Spanish Octopus slow-cooked to silk-soft perfection then finished on the grill with romesco sauce. Main courses focus on the best of land and sea: the aforementioned Black Opal Wagyu, a Centre-Cut Pork Chop from Chiang Mai black pork with homemade apple sauce, and line-caught Patagonian Toothfish from the South Atlantic. All seafood and meats are prepared to highlight their natural flavours, enhanced by wood-fire aroma, elevated seasonal accompaniments and global flavour accents. Desserts such as Mango Crème Brûlée and Coconut Pineapple Cake with strawberry sauce provide a stunning finale.

SERVICE

Pleasant and professional service all around, with the wait staff always on alert to serve.

PRICING

Typical spend per person (food only, excluding drinks) falls in the range of THB 2,000++ – THB 3,500++, with premium selections such as Wagyu steaks commanding higher prices.
