Bangkok’s food scene is about to spark with the imminent arrival of SOLSOT, a celebrated Korean-Japanese pot rice eatery, known for transforming simple ingredients into elevated home-style dishes. This new CentralWorld location is the first in Thailand, and it marks the debut of authentic sotbap, or hot stone pot rice, prepared using age-old Korean methods.
Every bowl at SOLSOT starts with rice crafted to the highest standards. Cooked in sizzling stone pots, the yummy short-grain rice kernels develop a crisp golden crust at the bottom while retaining their softness throughout, offering a real satisfying bite from start to finish.
The restaurant chain has built up a dedicated following in South Korea through numerous branches nationwide, by focusing on quality, flavour, and tradition. Now, the trusted name in superior pot rice brings its splendid craftsmanship to local diners for the very first time.
Situated on CentralWorld’s 6th Floor, ATRIUM Zone, and due to open on Friday, May 30th, SOLSOT is ready to serve up exquisite bowls of flavour-packed rice and top-rated Korean favourites, created by talented chefs using prudent techniques and premium ingredients.
Guests can opt for their preferred proteins such as steak, pork, or seafood, to accompany the signature rice, then enjoy a superb selection of vegetables and banchan (Korean side dishes), including salad, soup, and dipping sauces. Meal sets also come with a refreshing Yakult probiotic drink, a tasty tonic perfect for aiding digestion and supporting gut health.
SOLSOT offers patrons a truly interactive culinary experience. Dishes arrive in a hot stone cauldron (called a sot in Korean) and diners are invited to combine the ingredients to fully savour the meal as it’s meant to be relished, just like in authentic time-honoured practice.

Once it’s been mixed, a portion of seasoned rice will often be placed into a separate bowl for the next stage. To prepare the nurungji (the crispy rice layer at the bottom) hot broth is added to the stone pot, softening the golden crust into a comforting, porridge-like delight that enhances the dish with deep umami scent and a satisfyingly silky texture throughout.
Whether you choose beef or pork, Steak Pot Rice is a definite must-try: top-quality, tender meat is served over rice, and topped with a raw egg and seasoning. Another decent pick, the Sea Bream and Scallop Pot Rice, is a fish lover’s dream full of lovely seafood morsels.
Pickled Shrimp, Pickled Sea Crab, and as seen below, Picked Salmon, are dishes that you can only find at SOLSOT in Thailand. The salmon is a revelation, delivering an epic fusion of buttery, omega-3 loaded fish, zesty pickling, fiery chilli, and bracing garlic in every bite.
Customers also have complimentary, freshly made kimchi with unlimited refills to feast on, bringing a spicy dimension to proceedings. This super-popular dish consists of fermented napa cabbage with chili, garlic, and ginger giving an exceptional twist to your hot pot rice.
Homemade Fried Shrimp and Yuringi Fried Chicken are other delectable side dishes well-worth trying at SOLSOT in Bangkok, which comes highly recommended thanks to its solid standards of service, reasonable price, inviting setting, and scrumptious selection of food.
