This is likely one of the reviews that I have put the most thought and time into writing. I didn't know where to begin or how to organize it in a way that was both comprehensive and concise.

This is not a sentence or phrase, but a paragraph. I can translate it for you:

"It's not that the food at this restaurant isn't delicious and I have to find a way to praise it. It's not that the price is so expensive that I have to find a way to write to convince everyone to agree. But for me, the food that meal was delicious, good, and very worthwhile compared to the price set by the restaurant, making it one of my favorite restaurants almost immediately. However, the main problem is that this post is an SR - Sponsor Review post, which often has a lot of comments popping up, especially when we praise the food a lot."

After careful consideration, I have decided to write a positive review of this restaurant, even though I will be paying for my own meal. I believe that my experience and opinions are genuine and worth sharing. If you are not interested in reading a positive review, I suggest skipping this post. However, if you trust my judgment or are curious to learn more, please join me as I explore this establishment.

Note: This review is based solely on my personal experience on the day of my visit. Taste preferences are subjective, and your experience may differ.

The second floor of Rod Dee Ded by Nop on Rama 4 Road, near Chula Soi 9 or Sam Yan, houses a hidden gem: a barbecue restaurant. While the first floor appears to be a regular noodle shop, a staircase at the back leads to a second-floor barbecue haven. The stairs are quite narrow, so single-file ascent is recommended.

Parking Information for Visitors

For those arriving by car, parking is available in Soi Chula 9. You can park either near the U Center or the Chamchuri 9 Building. If I recall correctly, parking near the U Center costs 15 baht per hour, while the Chamchuri 9 Building charges 10 baht per hour. I personally chose to park near the U Center as it is closer to the restaurant.

For those without a car who wish to take the MRT, alight at Sam Yan station and walk for approximately 200-300 meters to reach the restaurant. For those taking the bus, it is even more convenient as the bus stop is located just a few meters from the restaurant entrance.

Upon reaching the second floor of the restaurant, a spacious room with approximately 10-12 tables comes into view, accommodating around 40-50 individuals. The room features strategically placed mirrors on the walls and pillars, creating an illusion of greater spaciousness.

In front of the dining room, there is a tank where the shrimps are kept. The restaurant will bring these shrimps to be stunned with ice for us. The stunning process is done in rounds, as each round takes 20 minutes. However, there is no need to worry about running out of shrimps, as the restaurant constantly stuns them in advance.

This restaurant offers two dining options: a buffet with a 1.30-hour time limit and an à la carte menu where you can order individual dishes. Today, my wife and I opted for the buffet. The buffet prices are as follows:

Is there anything else I can help you with?

• Meat + Pork + Seafood (Shrimp, Salmon) + Drinks Price 450 Baht/person net

• Pork + Seafood (Shrimp, Salmon) + Drinks - 370 Baht/person net

The first time I saw the restaurant's menu, I thought to myself that it was a strange place. They combined seafood dishes with shrimp and salmon into the pork set, even though most restaurants tend to include these dishes in the more expensive beef set. More importantly, this restaurant charges according to the actual number of people at the table who eat pork and beef, rather than charging a single, expensive price for the entire table. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever encountered a restaurant like this.

The buffet includes a variety of refillable beverages, such as Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and green tea. Guests are welcome to switch between different drinks throughout their meal.

Children's pricing: toddlers dine for free, while children under 120 cm in height are charged half price. Ordering food can be done verbally if the restaurant is not busy, but if there are multiple tables, it is recommended to write your order on a slip with your table number clearly indicated.

The first round of dishes was chosen by the restaurant for my wife and me. The dishes included:

• Fatty meat

• Beef sirloin

• Pork neck

• Pork belly

• Rib eye steak

• Salt-cured bava meat

• Marinated pork collar

• Black pepper pork belly

• Bacon

• Salmon marinated in sauce

• Fresh salmon

• Crab stick

• Vegetable set

• Steamed egg

• Shrimp

• Cooked rice

• Garlic rice

• Beef soup

• Miso soup

• Kimchi, seaweed salad, and sesame oil-dressed vegetables.

The sheer abundance of dishes on offer was staggering, barely fitting on the table. It's worth noting that this was just a fraction of the menu, as I couldn't possibly sample everything. Had I done so, not only would the table have overflowed, but my wife and I would likely have burst as well.

The restaurant may not have a standard for the type of plate used for each type of meat, and the type of plate may vary with each order. Therefore, if you are unsure about a particular menu item, it is best to ask the restaurant staff. However, you can refer to the pictures below and the list above to get a general idea of what the different types of meat look like.

Note: All the meat dishes that were initially served at my table were not drizzled with sauce or anything. You could clearly see the meat. However, before I started eating, the restaurant came and squeezed additional sauce on it, which is usually drizzled on from the beginning.

With all the dishes beautifully arranged on my table, Chef Amorn, the head chef of the restaurant, approached me to explain and recommend how to enjoy this meal. The three things he suggested I try were:

1. We should start with the steamed egg custard to cleanse our palates before moving on to the various meats. I must say, the steamed egg custard here is quite delicious, with a smooth and silky texture.

2. Although the restaurant provides a variety of dipping sauces and side dishes, they recommend trying the grilled meat plain first, without any sauce. If you don't like it, you can then dip it in the sauce without any side dishes, or sprinkle salt and pepper on the meat. If you still don't like it, you can adjust the sauce to your liking. After trying it ourselves, my wife and I agreed that the meat at this restaurant doesn't need any sauce. The plain, grilled meat, hot off the grill, is delicious on its own. The meat itself has a perfect flavor.

3. The restaurant recommends pairing the salt-marinated Wagyu beef with freshly squeezed lime juice. The acidity of the lime complements the saltiness of the marinated beef perfectly. After trying both options, I agree with the restaurant's suggestion.

Amorn, a Thai national, has worked in a Japanese yakiniku restaurant for 25 years. Including his 10 years working in a yakiniku restaurant in Thailand, he has 35 years of experience with meat. With just a glance, he can assess the quality of the meat. On April 13th, the Thai New Year, the restaurant was unusually empty, with only two tables occupied. Amorn spent a considerable amount of time at my table, grilling the meat for me. The meat he grilled was significantly more delicious than what my wife and I had grilled ourselves, as if he knew the perfect level of doneness for each piece.

The restaurant's stove system features downward ventilation beneath the table. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the absence of overhead exhaust hoods. You might wonder if the dining experience will be filled with smoke and leave you smelling unpleasant. However, the restaurant's stove system is highly efficient, with powerful flames and minimal smoke generation.

Let's now take a closer look at the taste of each dish, following the order listed above for ease of reference.

• Texture: The meat was slightly tough, but still better than many other restaurants and could still be considered tender. However, Mr. Amorn mentioned at the beginning that the meat today would be a bit tough, so if you have the opportunity, you should come back and try this dish again. It might be better on another day.

• Pork neck: Tender, delicious, and to my liking.

• Pork belly: Delicious and very tender. I prefer this item to pork neck.

• Ribeye: This large, incredibly tender cut of meat is an absolute must-try. Don't limit yourself to just 2-3 servings; with this dish, fill your plate to your heart's content!

Fermented Salt-Marinated Beef

This dish features tender beef marinated in salt, served with fresh lime juice for dipping. The cut of meat used is the underside of the cow's belly, a part that rarely gets exercised and is therefore quite difficult to find. This unique and flavorful dish is highly recommended for those seeking a new and exciting culinary experience.

• Marinated Pork Neck: This was my favorite pork dish of the day. The cut was large, flavorful, and incredibly tender – the most tender of all the pork dishes I tried.

• Black Pepper Pork Belly: Mildly spicy with a prominent black pepper flavor.

• Bacon: Authentic bacon, not pork belly like many other restaurants. It has a delicious smoky aroma and taste, indicating that it has been properly smoked. It's a rare treat to find such high-quality bacon in a buffet.

• Marinated Salmon: Average. I was not impressed, as I am not a fan of grilled salmon.

• Fresh salmon: Similarly, it is average.

• Crab stick: Average, nothing special.

• Vegetable set: Delicious, especially when dipped in the accompanying sauce.

• Steamed egg: Smooth texture, delicious as mentioned earlier.

• **Shrimp:** The shrimp were fresh and of a medium size, which was perfect for grilling without taking up too much space on the grill. However, I personally prefer tender and flavorful meat over shrimp. Therefore, I only ate three shrimp that day and filled the rest of my plate with meat and pork. ><

• Plain rice: No special features.

• Garlic rice: A bit dry, but not a major issue.

• Beef Soup: The taste is similar to noodle soup, but the restaurant claims it is not. They use a different process to make it. If you can eat beef, give it a try.

• Miso Soup: Nothing special.

• Kimchi: Delicious and considered one of the restaurants that makes kimchi very well. The taste is well-balanced and not too sour.

• Seaweed salad: Average taste.

• Sesame oil salad: Delicious and unique, perfect for a refreshing break between bites of meat.

I have reviewed all the items on the menu. Now, I would like to highlight a special menu item that I would like to emphasize again: the rib-eye steak. This menu item was recently added by the restaurant in early April and is about to be seriously promoted. Therefore, it is not yet included in the restaurant's buffet menu. However, there is no need to worry, as you can order it directly. If you are unsure, you can always ask the restaurant staff if the rib-eye steak is included in the buffet. This way, you can enjoy your meal without any worries.

The rib-eye steak I had that day was remarkably large, with impressive marbling. Each plate came with three slices, each nearly as big as my wife's palm. The meat was tender, flavorful, and delicious on its own, without the need for dipping sauce or salt. Notably, the restaurant informed us that the rib-eye in the buffet was of the same grade as the one they sell on their A la Carte menu, which costs 450 Baht per plate.

After enjoying a delicious meal, it's time for dessert to cleanse the palate. However, it depends on whether you have any room left in your stomach for more.

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It's just an empty paragraph with no text to translate. Is there anything else I can help you with?

The dessert offered in the buffet is grass jelly. The taste is average. The grass jelly is chewy and delicious, not too sweet. However, to be honest, it is not as delicious as other desserts like Thai tea ice cream.

For those who do not want to eat grass jelly, the shop also has another menu that is worth trying, but you have to pay extra. That is, the sugar palm fruit. This item costs 35 baht per cup and is served cold with finely crushed ice. It tastes delicious. Personally, I prefer this item to grass jelly. It would be great if the shop included it in the buffet as well. 555555

In conclusion, let's summarize the key takeaways from our review of "Rasa Dee Ded by Nop" barbecue restaurant.

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It's just an empty paragraph with no text to translate. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Food Taste: In terms of the meat and pork dishes I tried during this meal, I must say that I was very impressed with the taste. Both the pork and beef were tender, and the flavors were very much to my liking. The ribeye steak, salt-marinated bavette steak, and marinated pork collar were particularly delicious, and I ended up ordering several more rounds of these dishes. The other non-meat dishes were also of a good to very good standard, with none of them falling below expectations.

Variety of Food: Despite being a small restaurant with a limited number of tables, the variety of meat options available is impressive. Customers can choose from 4-5 types of pork and beef, as well as shrimp, salmon, and a decent selection of appetizers. This makes it an ideal spot for meat-loving barbecue enthusiasts.

**Cleanliness:** While not unclean, the restaurant's cleanliness could be improved. The meticulousness in certain areas falls short of the standards found in larger establishments or those located in malls. This may be partly due to the restaurant's location within a building.

Employee service: My experience may not be representative, as there were only two tables occupied during my visit. The restaurant had only one chef and one server on that day. I understand that the restaurant usually has more staff, as otherwise service would be slow. However, it was Songkran, the Thai New Year, so there may have been fewer staff than usual. Overall, the service was good, but we had to call the server to refill our water several times. They responded promptly when called, but they did not proactively refill our water like they do at MK Restaurant. ><

The convenience of transportation: The shop is conveniently located near a bus stop, not far from the MRT, and there are many parking lots nearby. Although parking is not free, I think it's better than having to drive around in circles and waste time.

Value for Money:

This restaurant deserves a perfect 10 for value. It's incredibly rare to find a yakiniku restaurant offering high-quality, premium-grade meat at a buffet price of 450 baht per person (net). This price even includes refillable drinks and dessert. In my opinion, the quality of the meat here rivals that of other restaurants charging 100-200 baht more.

Summary:

This restaurant is a must-try for meat lovers who enjoy grilled food, value for money, and aren't overly concerned with aesthetics. The quality and taste of the meat and pork are excellent, and the price is very reasonable. Notably, the restaurant charges per person, even if you share a table with someone who eats pork while you eat beef. This eliminates the issue of friends who don't eat meat being hesitant to join. Additionally, for those who don't enjoy either meat or pork, the restaurant offers unlimited fresh shrimp. This caters to a wide range of preferences, making it a true champion of grilled food.

Note: The restaurant also has a point accumulation system. This means that if you eat 10 skewers, you can get one free skewer. Also, from May 1, 2017 onwards, the restaurant will be making a small price increase. So, if you want to eat at the old price, you should hurry. The new prices are as follows:

• Meat + Pork + Seafood (Shrimp, Salmon) + Drinks - Price: 470 Baht/person net (increased by 20 Baht/person)

• Pork + Seafood (shrimp, salmon) + drinks: 420 baht/person net (increased by 50 baht/person)

This concludes my review. If there are any omissions or errors, I apologize. This review is based solely on my personal experience on the day of my visit. Each individual's experience may vary in terms of service and taste.
