Our Kaun Khmai experience is our newest concept at Khmai.
Kaun Khmai, on the other hand, is our introduction.
This is where we welcome you in gently.
It’s Cambodian food told through a modern lens educating the younger generation and first-timers on what Cambodian cuisine is all about.
Familiar flavors. Modern techniques. Big culture.
Indulge in small bites bursting with flavor, from our grilled corn to our signature eggrolls and skewers. Each dish celebrates Cambodia's rich culinary heritage. As you dine, immerse yourself in the whimsical charm of our space, adorned with artful windows and complemented by playful cocktails and delightful desserts.
