§ Signature / Grilled Ribeye

The steak
everyone
comes back for.

Wan Waan's grilled rib-eye is unlike anything else in Chelsea — charred over high heat, then served two ways: swimming in a Northern Thai coconut curry with egg noodles, or wok-tossed into fragrant fried rice with crispy basil. It's the dish our regulars order every time.

Grilled Steak
Khao Soi

Grilled rib-eye steak in Northern Thai coconut curry with egg noodles, red onion, pickled mustard greens, and bean sprouts. Khao Soi is a Northern Thai classic — the kind of dish that's warming, rich, and deeply complex. Wan Waan's version with ribeye takes it to another level.

Grilled Steak
Fried Rice

Grilled rib-eye steak with egg fried rice, bell pepper, mushroom, onion, and scallion — served with jaew dipping sauce and crispy basil. Smoky, savory, and deeply satisfying. The jaew sauce (a roasted Thai dipping sauce) is what makes this one unforgettable.

Isan Classic

Nuar Yang

Grilled rib-eye served with fresh salad, egg-glazed sticky rice, and jaew dipping sauce. The purest expression of Thai grilled beef — no noodles, no wok, just the ribeye and the sauce it was born to be eaten with.

Thai technique.
Ribeye quality.

In Thailand, grilled beef dishes like Nuar Yang have been a cornerstone of northeastern Thai cuisine for centuries — marinated, charred over coals, served with sticky rice and a punchy jaew sauce made from roasted chilies and toasted rice powder.

At Wan Waan, we bring that same spirit to Chelsea — using ribeye for its marbling and flavor, and pairing it with sauces and preparations that have been refined over generations.

The cut
Rib-eye — chosen for its fat marbling, which holds up beautifully against bold Thai spices without being overwhelmed.
Khao Soi origin
A Northern Thai specialty from Chiang Mai, traditionally made with braised chicken. Wan Waan offers three versions — duck, soft shell crab, and ribeye.
Jaew sauce
A traditional Isan dipping sauce made from roasted chilies, toasted rice, fish sauce, and lime. Sharp, smoky, irreplaceable.
