The Sun & 13 Cantons, Soho

Step into this ever-evolving establishment that now offers an enticing experience with its Cambodian flair. The menu, centered around flavorful Southeast Asian cuisine, features highlights such as the fragrant kroueng and succulent pork skewers, expertly prepared and drawing rave attention from locals and visitors alike. Pay special heed to the tofu knots, caramelized pork belly, and panko pork toast which are touted as standout dishes. While the culinary offerings are commendable, it’s worth noting the limited selection of cask ales among the otherwise ample variety of craft beers and ciders. The pub occupies a historic venue brimming with charm, welcoming with its quaint and slightly dated decor that offers a genuine pub ambiance. Patrons considering a more private affair might appreciate the basement bar available for hire, complete with a dance floor and karaoke setup. Though service experiences vary, the allure of Mapen's distinctive flavors makes this spot a notable entry in the city’s diverse dining scene.
