Meet the The Sorn Thai Team

Experience Dishes from Southern Thailand
Sorn Thai is more than just a restaurant; it’s a tribute to Boom’s beloved grandmother, Sorn, whose recipes inspire the house specials. Sorn Thai’s extensive menu offers delightful Southern Thai cuisine influenced by the region’s rich and vibrant flavors. Begin your culinary journey to Southern Thailand with Larb Gai – a salad of minced chicken, onions, scallions, lettuce, roasted rice powder spices, and a special lime juice seasoning. Enjoy Sorn Thai’s small plates, perfect to share when dining with friends. Grilled Sirloin Steak Num Tok along with Steamed Butterfly Dumplings make the perfect introduction to Southern Thai cuisine.
Sorn Thai offers curry dishes that are a must-try. Curry dishes are made with the diner’s choice of chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, seafood, tofu, or vegetables and are served with jasmine or brown rice. Try the house special curries – red curry duck or massaman beef curry.
Sorn’s Obsessions, such as Chu Chee Maine Lobster or Moo Hong, a Southern Thai–style pork belly stew, will become your new obsession. Be sure to experience Gaeng Som, Southern Thai–style sour curry made with prawns, green papaya, and kaffir lime leaves. Sorn Thai gives a unique take on classic Thai dishes, such as Cashew Chicken and Crispy Duck Ka Pow.
Sorn Thai serves brunch Monday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on on the weekends from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Experience traditional brunch dishes – avocado toast and homemade pancakes and waffles or venture to try Thai Congee, rice porridge served with minced chicken balls, shiitake mushrooms, and a housemade Thai donut.
For a unique brunch, try Sorn’s butternut squash. Sourdough bread is grilled to golden perfection, topped with roasted butternut squash, thyme, whipped herb ricotta, pomegranate seeds, and red pepper sauce. Of course, Sorn Thai offers mimosas. Try the Thai tea mimosa with vanilla foam cream. Iced Thai Tea Matcha Latte is a refreshing non-alcoholic brunch accompaniment.
Conveniently located in the Chesterbrook Shopping in McLean, Sorn Thai is looking forward to your visit!
