Sophon, Seattle

Seattle’s Sophon, which is located at 7314 Greenwood Avenue N, is on the list and the ranking calls it “a testament to Cambodian resilience.”

It goes on to speak of the menu, which is “rooted in traditional flavors but pulls influences from Seattle’s cultural and culinary bounty.”

“Order the Mekong or the savory Khlang, featuring a Brie-infused rye—a subtle gesture to the country’s history of French colonization. As you savor your final sips, Long might emerge to share more about his world. But by then you’re already immersed in it,” it states in the description.
