Hawk & Sophia, an inspiring AAPI husband-and-wife team who have redefined the classic wing experience with their distinctive recipes and techniques. They started started the trailblazing restaurant Shlap Muan together in San Francisco, later bringing it down to Southern California.
Sophia and Hawk's journey to Shlap Muan began with a desire to escape the confines of corporate life. Initially launching a sandwich shop, the couple soon recognized the need for a distinct identity to stand out in San Francisco’s competitive food scene. Inspired by Hawk’s father’s delectable chicken wings, they pivoted to focus on this cherished dish, blending nostalgic flavors with their innovative touch.
Hawk’s background includes growing up in his family’s Chinese-Cambodian restaurant, where he experienced the rigorous demands of the restaurant industry firsthand. Despite his early resolve never to work in a restaurant, his fond childhood memories of cooking and enjoying food led him back to his culinary roots.
Shlap Muan, which translates to 'chicken wings' in Khmer, stands out for its innovative approach to this popular dish. Sophia and Hawk have crafted all-original recipes and unique techniques, including their special fry method that delivers wings that are crispy, juicy, and notably less oily than traditional versions. Their sauces and dry seasonings are exclusively their own, reflecting their dedication to culinary excellence.
Sophia and Hawk are driven by a genuine passion for food and a commitment to making their customers’ days brighter. Through Shlap Muan, they aim to foster connections and spread joy with every dish they serve.
Today, Shlap Muan delights customers at locations in Long Beach and SmorgasburgLA.
