El Gaucho, Soi 11
17 people recommend, 4 warn against itvia r/Bangkok22 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Most people recommend El Gaucho, and many commenters describe the steak as good, with two calling it among the best they have eaten. Two diners also praise the sides, and one who has eaten at the Soi 11 branch points to its lunch and weekday specials. Several diners have reservations: one calls it overrated, one says it is not to their taste, one who has only eaten there finds the steak worse than an overcooked supermarket steak, and another calls the steak solid rather than spectacular despite liking the ambience. A few diners find it pricey, one says the cheapest option is the standout while the rest seems overpriced, and one finds it fair value by Western steakhouse standards.
