Touk
Contemporary Cambodian restaurant from Top Chef Canada Season 11 winner Chanthy Yen, opened on Alberni Street in late December 2025 with partner Cameron Bourne. The menu pairs Khmer aromatics and techniques with British Columbia seafood and produce in a roughly 50-seat dining room plus bar and an upstairs standing bar. Lunch and dinner hours are published on toukyvr.com and OpenTable; evenings have run Tuesday to Sunday with Monday closed in recent listings. Book on OpenTable, email for parties of seven or more, and confirm current hours and tasting-style builds before downtown Vancouver nights.

While you're there
Alberni between Thurlow and Bute sits in downtown Vancouver’s restaurant corridor, walkable from Coal Harbour and many Robson-area hotels. Hard surfaces make peak dinner loud; lunch is the calmer first visit if you are noise-sensitive.
Pro Tip: For a first dinner, ask about a multi-course build with substitutions rather than ordering blind; Yen’s kitchen has been flexible when the room allows.
