What to order

A suki set of meats, seafood and vegetables for the pot, a plate of Cantonese roast duck on the side, and the chilli-garlic suki sauce that makes the whole thing work.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews

Full overview

MK Restaurants is Thailand's biggest suki chain, and this branch inside Big C Extra on Central Pattaya Road is the handiest one for anyone staying centrally — there is another in CentralFestival Pattaya Beach mall if you are nearer Beach Road. Suki is Thai-style hotpot: a pot of clear broth is set into your table, and you order plates of raw ingredients — sliced pork and beef, prawns, fish balls, tofu, glass noodles, mountains of fresh vegetables — to cook yourself, then dip into MK's signature chilli-garlic suki sauce. The other house speciality is Cantonese-style roast duck, and there are dim sum, noodles and rice dishes for anyone not in a hotpot mood. Ordering is by touchscreen tablet with photos and English throughout, so the language barrier is zero. It is bright, air-conditioned, family-oriented chain dining — clean and dependable rather than atmospheric — and popular with Thai families, which is a fair endorsement of the food. Individual plates look cheap at ฿50–150, but they add up fast; a hungry pair typically spends ฿500–800. MK also delivers via its 1642 call centre and the usual apps.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is suki at MK Restaurants?

Thai-style hotpot: a pot of clear broth sits in your table, you order raw plates of meat, seafood, tofu, noodles and vegetables to cook yourself, and dip everything in MK's chilli-garlic suki sauce. Despite the name, it's quite different from Japanese sukiyaki.

How much does a meal at MK cost?

Individual plates run about ฿50–150 and set platters offer better value. Two hungry people typically spend ฿500–800 including duck or dim sum sides and drinks.

Is MK easy to order at without speaking Thai?

Very — ordering is done on a touchscreen tablet with photos and an English menu, and staff at this branch are used to foreign customers from Big C.

Are there other MK branches in Pattaya?

Yes — the closest alternative is inside CentralFestival Pattaya Beach mall on Beach Road, and MK delivers city-wide via the 1642 hotline and food apps.
