In 1986, the first MK Suki welcomed its customers for the first time at Central Plaza, Ladprao branch. As not
so many restaurants had such a clear position to offer suki menu at that time, the concept of MK restaurant was
warmingly received by customers. The introduction of sophisticated restaurant management techniques and marketing
strategies to run the business led the Company to consistently expand new branches in both Bangkok and other
provinces.
MK Restaurant Group Public
Company Limited (the “Company”) was
incorporated on July 10, 1989, with
an initial capital of Baht 1 million to
operate suki restaurants. Aside from
this, the Company started opening
Japanese restaurants under the “Yayoi”
brand and trademark in 2006. In
October 2012, the Company operated
two more Japanese restaurants under
two different trademarks of “Hakata”
and “Miyazaki”. The Company also
runs Thai restaurant business under
“Na Siam” and “Le Siam” trademarks,
grab and go shop under “Bizzy Box”
trademark, dessert shop under “MK
Harvest” trademark as well as a coffee
shop and bakery outlet known as
“Le Petit.” Finally, we have our own
training institute to train qualified
service personnel.
As of December 31, 2018, the
Company boasted 448 MK Suki
Restaurants (including 6 MK Gold
Restaurants and 4 MK Live); 184
Yayoi Japanese restaurants; 4 Hakata
Japanese restaurants; 26 Miyazaki
Japanese restaurants; 3 Le Siam
Thai restaurants; 1 Na Siam Thai
restaurant; 4 Bizzy Box shops; 1 MK
Harvest dessert shop and 3 Le Petit
coffee shop and bakery nationwide.
The Company has also sold MK Suki
franchise to overseas operators in
Japan, Vietnam and Laos. In addition,
a joint-venture company has been set
up to operate a restaurant business in
Singapore.
