Our Story

We believe that there is more than just work and therefore we like to travel for a few months every year.
Together we have visited many countries, but in Thailand we found a place where we have been returning since 1996.
When we are in Thailand, the Moo Kata Restaurant is one of our favorite places to eat. We have visited countless Moo Kata restaurants from north to south of Thailand. Because we think this is such a delicious way of eating, we wanted to do something with it. That's why we introduced in 2008 the Moo Kata in the Netherlands for the first time under the name Asian BBQ at a festival named 'Camping Rotterdam'
We brought 12 BBQs from Bangkok and built a small restaurant with our well-known table reels and colorful decoration.
Soon we wanted more and opened our restaurant at secret locations for one evening. Very exciting and the place was announced 1 hour in advance by email. That sometimes went up to 90 people at a time. We converted amazing vacant spaces into a restaurant for a few hours. An exciting warehouse in the harbour, a swimming pool, pontoon or factory. Eventually this became known to the catering police and this adventure came to an end and we continued in a legal way. The first time we opened in a circus tent but after a lot of rain and wind we wanted a door with a key instead of a zipper and so we ended up in vacant properties where we were open 6 months a year because of course we wanted to keep traveling.

Most of the buildings we rent are eventually renovated, demolished or repurposed
or we decide to move ourselves when it's time for a new adventure.
In the meantime, it is much more than when we once started.
Our menu is more extensive and we have everything you expect in a Thai Moo Kata Restaurant.
We are also proud that some of our customers are Thai and like to visit our Traditional Thai BBQ Restaurant.
Since 2008 we have had 11 restaurants, of which 2 were in Hasselt Belgium and the others in Rotterdam and now our current location, and what a nice one:
The Glass Factory in Schiedam where we opened on July 28, 2023 for our first season and have now been open since August 2024 in the building next door.
We transform all our locations into the well-known ABBQ Atmosphere.
We now have a large group of followers who follow us faithfully wherever we open.
It's a lot of work, but it's still fun to take all our guests on our tour.
Asian BBQ is a household name in Rotterdam and now also in Schiedam.
