[CUISINE] Bangkok’s new double Smash Cheeseburger: THB890 on the menu, with a THB1,000++ minimum spend

Open-kitchen restaurant [CUISINE] in Bangkok’s Silom introduced its new “Smash” Cheeseburger in an official Journal post on October 24, 2026. Two wagyu patties replace the previous Angus Royal With Cheese, while the menu price remains THB890. That is not, however, a promise of a THB890 visit: the restaurant also requires a minimum spend of THB1,000++ per guest, with service charge and tax payable separately. Those conditions deserve attention alongside the burger.

Two patties, with the emphasis on contact with the hot pan

According to the restaurant, each burger starts with two 100g portions of minced wagyu beef, pressed flat in a cast-iron pan before seasoning, with a slice of cheddar on each. The 100g figure describes each portion during preparation, not its cooked serving weight. Thin patties increase contact with the pan, putting crust formation ahead of thickness. That differs from burgers whose appeal centres on a thick interior or degree of doneness.

Published photographs show distinct layers of sesame bun, melted cheese and irregular patty edges. A second close angle makes the browned beef surface and sauce placement clearer. Images help explain structure, but actual crispness and juiciness depend on preparation on the day. When comparing this style, look beyond the “double” label to the proportions of bread, beef and cheese, and whether they can remain balanced in each bite.

A house bun and sweet chilli jam, with a detail worth checking

The kitchen makes its own bun. Its sweet chilli jam combines red pepper, chillies, aromatics and rice vinegar, finished with a little fish sauce; pickled jalapeño and onion add another set of components. The burger therefore layers sweetness, heat, acidity and fermented seasoning rather than only beef and cheese. For anyone avoiding fish ingredients or with relevant dietary restrictions, the fish sauce is an easily missed photographic detail to discuss with the restaurant.

The open kitchen is a defining feature, and official interior photographs show stainless steel counters, stools and concrete columns. Counter seating offers more than a photo opportunity: it can make preparation and service rhythms easier to observe. Guests who prefer a regular table can request one when booking. The website says some reservations may be allocated to counter dining when the restaurant is fully booked, and specific seating requests are accommodated where possible rather than guaranteed.

Address, hours and the THB1,000++ minimum

[CUISINE] is on the third floor of No. 3 Saladaeng Road and opens daily from 5:30pm to 11pm, accepting reservations and walk-ins. Official policy sets a THB1,000++ minimum spend per guest, with any shortfall added to the bill. The menu adds a 10% service charge and 7% government VAT. Sittings normally have a two-hour maximum, and the restaurant does not accommodate children under twelve; check party arrangements before booking.

It makes sense to compare this update as part of a full dinner, rather than only against a takeaway fast-food item price. Confirm the minimum spend, seating and arrival time before deciding on additional dishes to understand the actual budget. For readers interested in food construction, thin double patties, a house bun and fish-sauce-finished sweet chilli jam are three concrete points to consider. They help identify a flavour direction more clearly than a general “must-eat” label.
