   Dined here for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. They left a little card of best wishes on the table. Service was excellent, even if the server wrote down the wrong main dish (it was a quick fix so no big deal at all). Ordered the Khlang cocktail for both of us - unique and smooth version of an Old Fashioned. Food is served “family style” for sharing everything, something I rather enjoy about the 4+ star restaurants here outside of sushi. We had the chicken thighs as a starter: very good, tender, flavorful, the dipping sauce was fantastic. For main courses: the pork belly which was divine - possibly the best I’ve ever had; the mackerel which the description lacked explaining is basically fish stew - a little too fishy for us, but the flavor was there and the fish was flaky and cooked well. I was excited to eat at one of the top 20 new places in the country (per Bon Appetit) but for me, it lacked something…something I can’t quite put my finger on. The service and the food didn’t make up for the noise level; we were also seated right by the bathrooms so there were people constantly moving around us. $160+ for the experience (2 drinks at $20 each, 1 starter and 2 main dishes + 20% tip) was more than I spent at Communion over the Christmas holidays for more more food (2 drinks, appetizer, 2 small plates, 1 main dish - we couldn’t finish it all) and if I had to pick a place to return between the two, it wouldn’t be Sophon…

   Every bite and sip was such an adventure catching us off guard with unique flavors and textures; while also staying true to traditional Cambodian cuisine.

   I have lived in Seattle for over 13 years and this is the first time that from the drinks to the appetizers to the main dishes to the desserts that I was BLOWN AWAY. Truly deserving of all the praise and hype! Our server was kind and accommodating and the atmosphere was 12/10. I will return over and over again.
