A CELEBRATION OF MOON AND WATER
Our story pays homage to Preah Mea Kongkea, goddess of the waters, who floods the rice fields with abundance and blesses the rivers with fish each season.
In Cambodia, her gifts are honoured during Bon Om Touk, when dragon boats race across the great Tonle Sap lake, drums echo through the night, and lanterns light the riverbanks under a harvest moon.
At Touk, we bring this celebration of nature’s bounty to Vancouver’s shores, carrying stories of resilience, joy, and togetherness through the flavours of Cambodian cuisine while showcasing the bounty of BC’s oceans, rivers and fields.
Just like the phases of the moon, Touk will evolve with the seasons yet always remain rooted in tradition and celebration.
Drawing on his Cambodian-Canadian roots, Chef Chanthy Yen has gone from humble beginnings cooking in his grandmother’s kitchen to becoming the winner of Top Chef Canada Season 11.
Trained under world-renowned chefs including Ferran Adrià, and Andoni Luis Aduriz, Chef Yen has opened multiple acclaimed restaurants in Montreal and Vancouver and has served as Personal Chef to the Prime Minister of Canada.
Today, he continues to champion heritage-driven, innovative cuisine with Touk, where he reimagines Cambodian flavours through a modern, deeply personal lens.
BY CHEF CHANTHY YEN
Our menu represents a contemporary expression of Cambodian cuisine, shaped by Chef Yen's upbringing and the kitchens he has cooked in around the world.
Dishes are made for sharing, as they are in Cambodia, and feature seasonal ingredients sourced from across British Columbia. Expect bold flavours, fragrant herbs and bright aromatics in every bite.
We invite you to experience Golden Hour at Touk, our take on happy hour. Available from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to close. Stop in after work, before dinner or come back for a late-night snack. Reservations not required.
