Sorn Bangkok

Sorn – A Southern Thai Experience

A 3-Michelin-starred journey through the traditions and terroir of Southern Thailand
Sorn, located in the heart of Bangkok, is a transformative fine-dining destination dedicated entirely to the rich culinary traditions of Southern Thailand. Opened in 2018 by Chef Supaksorn “Ice” Jongsiri and his childhood friend Chef Yodkwan U-Pumpruk, the restaurant has since risen to international acclaim for its bold vision, meticulous technique, and deep respect for regional heritage. In 2024, Sorn became the first restaurant in Thailand to earn three Michelin stars, a landmark achievement that reflects its unwavering commitment to excellence.

What sets Sorn apart is its philosophical approach to storytelling through food. Each tasting menu, often featuring over 20 courses, draws upon ingredients sourced directly from the South’s 14 provinces—many harvested by hand or foraged specifically for the restaurant. Dishes incorporate long-lost recipes, fermentation techniques, and traditional Southern preparations, all reinterpreted with modern finesse. The meal is designed to reflect the rhythm of Thai dining, including shared courses, palate cleansers, and a crescendo of spicy, sour, and herbal flavors.

The dining experience takes place in a restored 90-year-old mansion, where golden hues, Southern antiques, and a glass-paneled kitchen allow guests to feel fully immersed in the craft. Sorn’s service is polished yet personal, often featuring passionate explanations of each dish’s cultural and geographic origins.

Chef Ice’s leadership, rooted in both childhood memory and culinary innovation, has made Sorn not only a top global destination but also a steward of Southern Thai identity. It stands as a benchmark for regional cuisine elevated to the highest international standard.

Amuse Bouche

Let’s Eat Rice
An elegant opening bite with tapi river prawn atop jasmine rice, enriched with a touch of prawn fat and served on a delicate sago cracker. A crisp, savory welcome that hints at the coastal flavors to come.

⸻

Prelude Courses

Hand-Caught Abalone
Thinly sliced abalone paired with young mangosteen, tangy green mango, and coastal seaweed. A bright and briny introduction.

Silver Sillago
Lightly fried with turmeric, served with scallop and a herbal curry paste. A crisp texture plays against the earthiness of Southern greens.

The Ocean
Three treasures from the sea—blue crab claw, Phuket lobster, and spotted Babylon snail—each paired with contrasting fresh and fermented elements. The sweetness of shellfish is balanced with light acidity and spice.

Andaman Squid (Sotong)
Stuffed and grilled squid presented with roasted eggplant purée, pickled chili, and lobster essence. Smoky, bold, and richly umami.

⸻

Palate Cleanser

Citrus Sorbet
A refreshing sorbet made with native orange varieties, providing a tart, clean intermission before the next round of richness.

⸻

Signature Highlights

Crab Stick
Deconstructed blue crab dressed in its own roe and a potent chili paste. Vivid in color and heat, yet restrained to let the natural sweetness of the crab shine.

Melinjo
A warm, slightly sweet coconut soup combining shoots, meat, and Southern-dried seafood. Deeply aromatic and comforting.

Gor Lae
Chargrilled cockles topped with sun-dried abalone. An earthy, savory dish that offers a chewy texture and a smoky finish.

⸻

Vegetable Course

The Sea Holds the Forest
A turmeric rice salad blended tableside with over 30 local herbs, young leaves, and flowers. Dressed in fermented budu sauce, this is a celebration of the region’s plant life and marine influences.

⸻

Main Course – Southern Family Style

Charcoal-Steamed Jasmine Rice
Steamed in a clay pot using mineral-rich water, the rice takes on a supple texture and light smokiness.

Assorted Condiments
A complex set of Southern accompaniments:
• Fermented shrimp and chili paste
• Crispy pork rind
• Sweet shrimp
• Dried yellow curry with galangal and lemongrass
• Seasonal fruits
• A raw quail egg for richness
Each item designed to be mixed with rice for a deeply personal flavor experience.

⸻

Accompanying Dishes (Sides)

Stink Bean with Redtail Catfish
A spicy, boldly aromatic stir-fry highlighting catfish’s richness against the punchy “stink bean” and Southern curry.

Tiger Prawn Omelet
A golden, fluffy omelet layered with sweet basil, shallots, and tiger prawn. Balanced, herbaceous, and rich.

Morning Glory with Abalone Liver Sauce
Tender shoots sautéed in a reduced abalone liver emulsion, garnished with dried scallops and shrimp. Surprisingly delicate and full of depth.

Beef Green Curry with Roti
A fiery green curry of meltingly tender beef, paired with a flaky Southern-style roti. Intensely flavored, with a creamy coconut finish.

Plum Soup with Stingray
A clear, tart soup using fermented plums and tender stingray. A cooling, slightly medicinal contrast to the heavier mains.

⸻

Special Addition

Lobster in Lobster Fat Curry
An off-menu treat: Phuket lobster tail simmered in its own tomalley, seasoned with aromatic curry spices and served over a crispy rice cake. Intensely rich, creamy, and indulgent.

⸻

Sweets

Sago with Coconut Iced Powder
A chilled, delicate dessert featuring longan jelly, sago pearls, and a lightly frozen coconut granita. Texturally playful and refreshing.

Bi Co Moi
Black sticky rice layered with young coconut ice cream and roasted cashew crumbs. Sweet, nutty, and satisfying.

Seasonal Canned Fruit
A nostalgic touch with house-canned Southern fruits, cool and lightly syrupy.

⸻

Petit Fours

An elegant close to the meal with a selection of small sweets served alongside a cup of Southern-style tea or locally roasted coffee.

⸻

This dinner at Sorn wasn’t just a meal—it was a masterclass in precision, heritage, and ingredient storytelling. Every course was deeply rooted in Southern Thai tradition but elevated through technical finesse, local sourcing, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Less

✨ RICE & RITUAL AT SORN (PART 2) ✨

The second half of our @sornfinesouthern journey opened with a kaleidoscope of thinly sliced vegetables, tossed tableside like confetti at a festival. But the true heart of this experience is rice, and “the Thai way of sharing.”

In Thailand, rice is the essence of every meal. @ice_supaksorn spent three years mastering the art of steamed rice, learning directly from rice farmers. The result? Perfectly fluffy kernels that stand proud, served with a spectacular array of accompaniments: salted quail eggs, pickled onions, vibrant chili paste, and crispy pork rinds.

Menu:
The Sea Holds the Forest - Turmeric Rice, Southern Herbs, Budu Sauce
Southern Jasmine Rice - Charcoal steamed in Ranong Mineral Water
Som Haok Chili Paste, Pork Rinds, Sweet Shrimp
Dried Yellow Curry, Fish Sauce and Chili
Stink Bean - Redtail Catfish, Southern Curry Paste
Morning Glory - Abalone Liver, Dried Scallop and Shrimp
Roti - Beef, Southern Green Curry
Plum soup with Stingray

Each side dish sings - from the addictive catfish curry to roti dipped in rich beef curry, and a glorious, golden Thai omelet.

Sorn, a renowned restaurant in Bangkok, is helmed by Chef Supaksorn "Ice" Jongsiri. With his roots in southern Thailand, Chef Ice channels his heritage into Sorn's authentic southern Thai cuisine. He sources ingredients exclusively from the 14 provinces in the region, crafting dishes that reflect its unique ecosystem and flavors. He emphasizes the use of rare herbs, fresh fish, and traditional cooking techniques that celebrate the distinctive, fiery spice that southern Thai food is known for.

The restaurant has gained significant acclaim, earning two Michelin stars and securing the second position in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2022. Located in a restored mansion in Bangkok, Sorn offers an immersive 10-course tasting menu that unfolds the stories and traditions of the region. Chef Ice is particularly proud of their rice salad dish, "The Sea Holds the Forest," which encapsulates the intricate blend of flavors and the area's symbiotic relationship between sea and land.

Sorn's culinary journey, curated by Chef Supaksorn "Ice" Jongsiri, took diners on an exceptional exploration of Southern Thai cuisine yesterday, blending rich regional flavors with contemporary elegance. The experience began with an amuse-bouche that set the tone for the night. This prelude led into the "Silver Sillogo," a combination of turmeric, scallops, and curry paste, capturing the fiery essence of the region.

A standout course, "The Ocean Jarnt," presented Phuket lobster, spotted Babylon, and blue crab in a way that highlighted the ocean's bounties. The "Sorbet," made with radish and young ginger, refreshed the palate before the "Crab Stick," a symphony of blue and mud crab roe with chili paste and soy sauce.

"MalinJo" and "Gor Lae" followed, with the former offering coconut milk and dried shrimp, and the latter cockle and dried abalone, both skillfully celebrating Southern Thai flavors.

"The Sea Holds the Forest" summed up Chef Ice's philosophy perfectly, combining turmeric rice with a herbal Budu sauce, reflecting the symbiotic relationship between the sea and land.

Accompaniments like "Son Hoak Chili Paste" and "Dried Yellow Curry" enhanced the main course of jasmine rice steamed with charcoal and Ranong mineral water.

To end, "Sago" featured longan sorbet and jelly with coconut ice powder, while "Bee Koh Moy" delighted with black sticky rice, young coconut ice cream, and cashews.

Overall, Chef Ice paid homage to his roots through each meticulously crafted dish, ensuring Sorn stood as a beacon of Southern Thai cuisine. Less

The highlight of the latter half of our meal at “Sorn” was the off-menu special, the “Blue Crab Curry”👑 Not a single part of the blue crab is wasted, as it is used to create an umami-rich broth that is steamed in a claypot with rice, crab meat, crab roe and fresh coconut milk💯 It is served with a delicious crab curry simmered in homemade curry paste and coconut milk🤤

バンコクの名店「Sorn」の後半で最も印象に残ったのが、裏メニューの「Blue Crab Curry（アオガニのカレー）」👏 土鍋ご飯はアオガニの、身、卵、甲羅の出汁、そしてフレッシュなココナッツミルクで炊いた絶品🍚 カレーは出来立ての自家製カレーペーストとココナッツミルクと煮た、旨味の詰まった仕上がり🥥 終始感動の連続で、機会があれば定期的に伺いたいと思います🥹

Another visit to the incredible ⭐️⭐️ @sornfinesouthern in Bangkok. This is an absolute must visit when in Bangkok serving refined Southern Thai cuisine in a tasting menu format. Though not for the faint of heart as this is some of the spiciest Thai food you can get. However, they are happy to dial down the heat if you let them know. Also the menu is very well balanced with any of the particularly fiery dishes usually followed by a dish that is designed to cool you down and bring some welcome relief. I did try to make a good showing of myself in front of Harley but inevitably ended up sobbing like a small child during a couple of the courses 🔥 🥵. I don’t think she noticed 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄
Thanks again to my pals @ice_supaksorn and @yodkwan_2526 Yodkwan U-pumpruk for the incredible food and hospitality. See you both in December for my best of Bangkok & Phuket tour

Continued our meal at @sornfinesouthern with the main course where we got to try two excellent curries - the southern green curry with charcoal grilled chicken wings and the special crab curry with blue crab meat which came with a crab steamed rice! An impressive array of condiments (chili paste, dried stingray, etc.) and vegetables (mango ginger, red corn, etc.) were served to accompany the rice and curries.

For desserts, we had the refreshing sago boiled in coconut water with longan, and the seasonal “canned” fruit which is currently custard apple (or 番鬼荔枝 as we call it in HK). The grand finale was the trolley of street food inspired petit fours served with southern style tea and coffee!

Ecstatic to be back at @sornfinesouthern - probably the most difficult restaurant to book in Bangkok! Serving fiery innovative southern Thai cuisine by @ice_supaksorn, it’s one of my favorite restaurants in Bangkok. While southern Thai food is known to be spicy, not every dish was spicy here and we experienced a wide range of flavors from dish to dish. Our meal started with a series of small bites from the sea - the highlights of which were the Phuket lobster and the signature Gems on Crab Stick with live blue crab, mud crab roe, and yellow chili paste. The spiciness in our mouths was then magically washed away by the soothing Coconut soup with dried squid and shrimp. Then came another signature - the beautiful Khao Yum with 10 different southern vegetables and herbs mixed with a fermented budu sauce. The tasty southern Beef Curry with roti concluded the first part of our meal before the main course which was to be shared family style.

The first part of our menu:

𝗔𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲
𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲
The beach - Sand mole crab / ming aralia / seaweed powder
Phuket lobster, cuttlefish and trevally

Pic 2-4: Sago boiled in young coconut water - Longan ice/ longan jam/ frozen coconut milk/ grilled coconut

Pic 5-10: Seasonal Canned Fruit

@[instagram] Sorn, Bangkok (April 2022)

Desserts at Sorn delivered the same kind of sensation from the climax of the rice and large ranges of dishes in the previous course. In fact they became a whole range of highlights of the meal.

The combination of sago and coconut is very common but the way they calibrated the flavor with the longan ice and jam was so elegant and refreshing, it brought out the other side of Thai fruit flavors which are often perceived as very bright and strong. This was the other side of the spectrum and super super delicious.

The canned fruit is a whimsical touch on a very meaning intention on seasonal fresh fruit (see pic 8). This time we had yellow watermelon, while the visits before I he red watermelon and Thai orange as well. A small bite to taste good fruit from local farmers

Another visit last month to the incredible ⭐️ Sorn in Bangkok. This is an absolute must visit when in Bangkok serving refined Southern Thai cuisine in a tasting menu format. Though not for the faint of heart as this is some of the spiciest Thai food you can get. However, they are happy to dial down the heat if you let them know. Also the menu is very well balanced with any of the particularly fiery dishes usually followed by a dish that is designed to cool you down and bring some welcome relief. I did try to make a good showing of myself during my first foody date with Samantha ,aka Bangkokfoodies.com, but inevitably ended up sobbing like a small child during a couple of the courses ? ?. I don’t think she noticed ??‍♂️?
Thanks again to Yodkwan U-pumpruk for the incredible food and hospitality and also to my pal Ice. See you both in October I hope ?? Less

Sorn (ศรณ์) is a restaurant that specialises in fine Southern Thai food. It has become quite a sensation recently which makes a reservation sometimes very difficult.
The food is a tour de force through Southern Tai which almost all the ingredients sourced from there, most of them directly from the producer. The construction of the dishes is very creative and certainly in comparison to the Thai food you normally get, much more constructed.
The flavours are also unusual with very little sauced and very little curry to them.
Overall a very interesting and learnative experience even though I have been somewhat disappointed. Maybe because of all the hype I expected much better overall food. Less

This years best dishes list has been a tough one to compile and with so many restaurants visited I have found it impossible to cull down to less than 70 dishes that really stood out for me this year.
2018 has been a busy year. 27 countries visited, one of which I managed to walk across when completing the Camino De Santiago earlier in the year. With the benefit of hindsight I kind of wish I was starting that walk tomorrow in order to try and take off the pounds that I have piled on this year having had 217 destination meals in total, including 73 Michelin one stars, 43 two stars and 20 three stars as well as all the other new or more casual places or restaurants that are in regions or countries not yet included in the Michelin guide (these figures include restaurants that I visited more than once). While I have attempted to put the dishes in an order of preference, please don’t read too much into that. There is very little difference in terms of amazingness between #1 and #71.
Please feel free to leave any comments you may have or mistakes that you spot🙏🏻 As I have said before, its more about the people I meet along the way and the new friends I have made. So with that in mind I wish you all a happy new year and here are my best 71 dishes of 2018.
