A true American steakhouse experience in Sai Mai, Bangkok. Honest portions, fair prices, and a whiskey pour to match.
Our Story
Damn Yankees Steak is a cozy American-style steakhouse and whiskey bar tucked into Sai Mai. No white tablecloths, no fuss — just steaks off the grill, ribs smoked low and slow, hearty pasta, and the kind of sides that make a plate feel like a proper meal.
We built this place the way we'd want to eat: generous portions, honest prices, and a pour of whiskey if you're staying a while. Pull up a seat, Tuesday through Sunday.
Meet the Owner
A Thai kid from Udon Thani who grew up in America and came home to cook.
Born and raised in Udon Thani, Thailand. Moved to the United States with his mother at age 13.
After finishing high school in Indiana, he got his start with USA Today in Boston, before moving into the restaurant business at O'Chalee's Steakhouse.
Opened his first Thai restaurant in Indiana in 2002, followed by a second in Alabama in 2012.
After a tough stretch through the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to move back home to Thailand — and back to what he loves most: cooking.
Today, Chef Sam owns and runs Damn Yankees Steak on Thepharak Road, Khlong Thanon, Sai Mai, Bangkok — a warm American-style steakhouse serving steak, ribs, pasta, burgers, and hearty American comfort food in generous portions, served with real care.
Drawing on his Thai roots and years of living and working in America, he built a place where you can enjoy great food in a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere.
Come try the food, or practice your English — Chef Sam speaks Thai fluently, but English is what he's most comfortable in, and he loves meeting new people and chatting like old friends.

What People Say
Our family of 12 came for lunch and easily got street parking and a big table. It's a genuinely American-style kitchen, with Chef Sam himself walking us through the menu. We shared Wagyu steaks and a tomahawk, with baked potato, coleslaw, and mash on the side — tender and full of flavor.
The burger genuinely tasted like something you'd get back home — really delicious, and the service was great too.
