Delicious Dishes from 77 Provinces – Sor Joo Sushi
A Khon Kaen restaurant puts a modern twist on the traditional Isaan dish Sor Joo by plating it sushi-style with high-quality beef loin, fresh herbs, and dipping sauces at Porn Thip Wild Food near Ton Tarn intersection.
This week's culinary feature, presented by Chakrapan Nathanrin from Khon Kaen's Sor Sor News, showcases Sor Joo Sushi served Japanese-style at Porn Thip Wild Food restaurant. The restaurant is located near Ton Tarn intersection on Mueang Phon Road in Mueang Phon municipality, Khon Kaen province. The popular Sor Joo dish has been reimagined with a Japanese sushi presentation, creating an eye-catching appeal that has drawn considerable interest from tourists and food lovers, making it a standout menu item that entices customers to stop by and taste authentic Isaan cuisine. Suprani Hatthakij, owner of Porn Thip Wild Food restaurant, explains that the sushi-style plating emerged from a desire to make the homestyle dish more visually appealing and impressive. She decided to arrange Sor Joo on wooden sushi platters, which made the dish look more distinctive and appetizing. "Our Sor Joo uses high-quality beef loin, fresh and clean daily, maintaining the freshness of all ingredients." Each set includes sweet liver, fresh beef loin, arranged with chili and garlic, wrapped in peppermint leaves, and served with two types of dipping sauces—the authentic Isaan way—alongside fresh vegetable salad. Priced at 120 baht per set, interested customers can pre-order through the Porn Thip Wild Food restaurant page. Open daily from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
