About Lawry's The Prime Rib

Lawry's The Prime Rib is the Bangkok branch of the American steakhouse founded in Beverly Hills in 1938. It sits on the 3rd floor of Gaysorn Amarin on Ploenchit Road in Lumphini, Pathum Wan, and opened in 2026. Reviewers describe warm lighting and classic decor that feels polished without being stiff, with private rooms for larger groups.

The draw is prime rib carved at your table from a temperature-controlled silver cart, served with Yorkshire pudding, alongside the Spinning Bowl Salad dressed tableside over ice. There are also crab cakes, scallops, rack of lamb, lobster and wine by the glass. Prices are high: the 120g Bangkok Cut is 2,390 baht and the 180g California Cut 3,590 baht, so expect well over 1,000 baht per person.

This is a special-occasion dinner, the kind for an anniversary or a birthday. The tableside carving and salad show add some theatre, and smart casual dress fits the room. Book ahead, since reviewers say reservations are important and tables come with a time limit of around two and a half hours.
