Soursdey, FoodBuzz readers! Any plans for the approaching Khmer New Year? We bet you do and obviously Siem Reap must be on some of your lists, right?

Talking about Siem Reap, we have published here and there articles on a few places in the historic city but today it is going to be something different and never-been-done-before! It’s FoodBuzz Takes Siem Reap and we’re kicking off with the new and grilling hot BBQ restaurant AKA because we know our readers’ passion for grill!

AKA, which means red in Japanese and pronounced as “A-KA”, is a popular Japanese Yakiniku/Barbecue restaurant franchise all the way from Thailand. Just like its tagline “Passion For Grill”, AKA is not just any regular Yakiniku restaurant. At AKA, you only get the best of the best because AKA serves only the highest quality and imported meat that has been inspected for quality and source to make sure they are up to the AKA franchise’s standard so every bite you take is a bite that you cannot take anywhere else. With meats and seafood imported from all over the world like America and New Zealand, the freshness and high quality are totally unmatched.

Starting at only $12.5/pax, you get over a large variety of 30+ kinds of meats to choose from, and a huge selection of side dishes such as Kimchi stew, Tom Yum noodle, Gyoza, Garlic fried rice, salads, Miso soup and desserts like Ice Shaved, roasted marshmallow and toasts and you may add $1.5 for free flow of drinks and ice cream.

Tip: To further bring out the flavorful freshness of the meat and take your AKA experience to another level, make sure to mix the sauce as below:

1. Pour the special AKA sauce (black) to about half of the sauce bowl
2. One spoon of the Gochujang sauce
3. A bit of lime juice (+ chopped garlic and chili if you like a bit of spice as well)!
