Mamapen

London’s only Cambodian restaurant

Cambodian born & London based, Kaneda took a humbling dive into hospitality following a successful media & advertising career, cutting his culinary teeth with a year at the contemporary Japanese restaurant, Aqua Kyoto. He then moved on to ply his trade within the London BBQ scene, rising to head chef with Flank and subsequently joining From The Ashes, both advocates for sustainability and regenerative farming practices. 

Kaneda’s mission is to champion Khmer food in London and beyond, and he is the only chef serving Cambodian food in London. His style is fun and unfussy with nods to traditional flavours yet unburdened by them.

Catch Mamapen serving up a storm at The Sun & 13 Cantons Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 9pm.
