Sophon is a Cambodian restaurant in Seattle, Washington, United States.[1][2][3] It was named one of the twenty best new restaurants of 2024 by Bon Appétit.[4] Sophon won in the Best New Bar category of Eater Seattle's annual Eater Awards in 2024.[5]
In February 2026, the restaurant came under investigation by the Washington Department of Labor & Industries for alleged wage theft.[6] In the spring of 2025, former employees began complaining their checks were bouncing or being placed on hold by their banks. Additionally, employees experienced lapses in their healthcare coverage even though their premiums were still taken from their paycheck.[7]
