Battambang in Oakland Chinatown has cooked Cambodian amok since 1993. Fish steamed in banana leaf with coconut and kroeung curry paste; a regional one-room dish.
Cambodian Americans settled in Oakland after the Khmer Rouge genocide of 1975 to 1979, building the city's Cambodian community around the Chinatown and San Antonio districts. Amok is Cambodia's national dish, traditionally steamed in banana leaf with coconut milk, lemongrass-galangal kroeung paste and freshwater fish. Battambang on Broadway has cooked the dish since 1993.
