Phnom Penh's deep-fried Cambodian-style chicken wings are a Vancouver Chinatown landmark plate: fish-sauce marinated, fried crisp, topped with garlic and pepper. Voted the city's most-photographed.

Phnom Penh on East Georgia Street opened in 1985 by the Lam family, refugees from Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime. The chicken wing recipe combines a fish-sauce marinade with a peppery garlic crust, a Khmer-Vietnamese kitchen tradition. The dish became the Lam family's calling card; Phnom Penh has been Vancouver Magazine's reader-poll favourite Asian restaurant since 2010, plus Michelin Bib Gourmand 2022.
