Kingston, Ontario is known as the Cambodian food capital of Canada due to the city's large and vibrant Cambodian community. While the exact reasons for the Cambodian community's migration to Kingston are not well-documented, it is believed that many Cambodians came to the city in the late 1970s and early 1980s as refugees fleeing the Khmer Rouge regime in their homeland.
As the Cambodian community grew in Kingston, so did the demand for Cambodian food. This led to the opening of several Cambodian restaurants in the city, including Cambodia Village, which is considered by many to be the best Cambodian restaurant in Canada.
Cambodian cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh herbs and spices, as well as the inclusion of fish sauce, tamarind, lemongrass, and coconut milk in many dishes. Some of the most popular Cambodian dishes in Kingston include amok (a fish curry steamed in banana leaves), beef lok lak (a stir-fried beef dish), and kuy teav (a noodle soup).
