About Sorn
Sorn is a Southern Thai restaurant set in a restored house on Soi Sukhumvit 26 in Khlong Toei, Bangkok. It is run by chef Supaksorn 'Ice' Jongsiri, who learned to cook in his grandmother's kitchen in Nakhon Si Thammarat and earlier led the restaurant Baan Ice1. He opened Sorn in May 2018 without outside investors, and it serves one seating of about 40 guests a night2.
The idea behind the restaurant came from the chef's travels through all 14 southern provinces, where he learned recipes and techniques from farmers, fishermen and home cooks1. Ingredients still come from across the south, such as budu from Pattani and sea cicadas from Phuket flown in each morning2. Rice is cooked in clay pots and the chilli pastes are made fresh every day3.
Dinner is a set menu that the Michelin Guide describes as well paced, with produce such as Tapi River prawns, Phuket lobster and Andaman squid4. The rooms draw on southern forests and crafts, with antique cooking tools and Thai art from the chef's own collection, and the cellar holds more than 500 wine labels1.
Sorn holds three Michelin stars, which it received in the 2025 Thailand guide, the first restaurant in the country to do so2,3,4. It was ranked No. 12 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 20265. Tables are hard to get: online bookings on TableCheck open at noon Bangkok time on the 25th of each month for the next month, and international guests can book by email from midnight on the 15th6.
