"Sophon, a Cambodian restaurant in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge, channels Khmer identity in every dish. Chef-owner Karuna Long blends family authentic recipes with Pacific Northwest inspiration. The restaurant honors Long's mother, who escaped the Cambodian genocide. Sophon's cocktails, crafted by bar manager Dakota Etley, incorporate Cambodian ingredients and cultural references, like fish sauce and Kampot peppercorns, in innovative ways." - ByJennifer Hope Choi
