lava asian fire grill

The newly-relaunched Lava Asian Fire Grill in Thong Lor Soi 10 answers to Bangkok’s astronomic craze for flame-broiled fare with an innovative and premium meat-centric menu under the dexterous direction of award-winning French Chef Jeriko Van Der Wolf.

Van der Wolf’s career profile includes France’s Michelin-star restaurants L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Regis, and Jacques Marcon and Vincent Arnould at le Vieux Logis. He arrived in Bangkok in 2015 and led the kitchen of Cocotte restaurant and Pesca Mar & Terra Bistro

Lava’s open kitchen features the “kokoyaki” technique, using flamed dry coconut husk to add a smoky flavour and extra charred crust to grilled meat. A large selection of the finest Wagyu and Black Angus is prepared into gourmet delicacies with East meets West touches.

Among the must-try dishes are omakase beef board; signature steak served aflame; Wagyu katsu sando; beef tartar and bone marrow; truffle risotto and ox tongue; and uni carbonara.

The food is served in Lava’s vivid dining room dominated by red and black hues. Other than a communal wine table, there is a variety of seating options including sofas, lounge tables, and private zones.

Lava’s refined red meat feast is complemented by a specially-curated wine collection and arrays of signature cocktails with Asian influences.

The restaurant opens daily, from noon to 2.30pm and 6pm until late. Valet parking only.
