We liked the food so much we came back for a second visit the very next day! The noodles are indeed handmade; you can often watch them making a fresh batch at the front of the restaurant. We had the fried noodles with duck and they were fantastic. The reviews often rave about the dumplings, and they are correct! These are also hand made and the dough is fantastically crispy when fried, and surprisingly good steamed as well. The shrimp dumplings were the best. Getting a mixed plate of dumplings (8 pieces) doesn’t necessarily mean you get two of each kind (chicken, pork, shrimp and veggie). The spring rolls were wonderfully crunchy. We got the pork ones which came with minced pork mixed in with a creamy root vegetable. The filling was just alright, it’s the crispy crunch and fantastic dipping sauce that makes this worth ordering. We also tried the Khamer Curry with duck, since we already knew their duck was excellent quality. It’s a delicious mild coconut based curry - good to the last drop. Normally this comes with rice but we asked for a plate of plain noodles instead and added them to the bowl. We enjoyed their mango salad as well. Complex and tasty, leaning on the sour side for flavour profile. This is a great place to imbibe a bit as well. Their Cambodian rice wine is delicious (think Raki or Eau de Vie) but potent. Just a couple of these $2.50 USD shots will have you a bit wobbly. Their cocktails are well made and only cost $3 USD. The shakes are great too, we recommend the mango and lime. The only thing off was the service. We were seated promptly and our food arrived as we ordered it and in good time. However, when we ordered two dishes for sharing, no one brought us side plates. When we asked a staff member, she acknowledged us and then walked off never to be seen again. During our second visit when we had ordered to the curry, we had asked for a spoon. The waitress just looked at us with a blank stare and wandered away. So we drank the remaining curry straight out of the bowl. Definitely recommend coming here, just be prepared to roll with the flow on service. First meal: 104,000 KHR Second meal: 67,000 KHR

We decided to go to David's for our first meal at Phnom Penh. Only to taste their unique brand of noodles made right before your eyes before they're cooked. David's is a family run restaurant managed very efficiently and in a very friendly way. On our first visit at around 8 pm it's full and seats were occupied to the brim. The lady was very polite and laid down a separate table for us as we waited instead of looking for some other restaurant. The noodles are made right from the dough with constant kneading and stretching. It's the work of an artist. Then the noodles are boiled very briefly and served as soup or fried. We opted for fried noodles with chicken and then with tofu. Very delicious, soft and juicy. Also had dumplings (vegetables); fresh, hot, juicy. All ingredients were fresh and we understood that we made the right choice. We're so impressed by the taste, simplicity and wholesomeness of the food; next day we went back for dinner. Don't give it a miss when you're in Phnom Penh.

I went to this restaurant the 2nd since the 1st time was quite okay, but the 2nd i went back here, that was horrible. I have never experienced such a terrible service from a restaurant like that before. First of all, I was ordering a bowl of Tom Yum and a plate of fried noodles with clearly mentioned that please don’t put onions and spring onions into these 2 dishes since i have strong allergies, please pay attention. But, first of all, even the drink was served wrong. My friend oder “dragon fruit shake” but they brought “mango shake”. When we said, we didn’t order that, the woman was angry at us but still brought us the dragon fruit shake. Secondly, they brought the Tom Yum with full of onions, then the plate of fried noodles with full of spring onions…. I thought, it might happened that it wasn’t possible to have these dishes without onions. Thus, I gave them another chance and order “noodle with shrimp”, without onions and spring onions of course. However they brought me “noodle with shrimp dumplings”, of course inside the dumplings with onions. I was completely speechless! Just took my allergy pills and hopefully my eyes will stop swollen and my body stop being itchy and red. I cannot believe that they completely messed up entire oder and didn’t take allergy problems seriously. I definitely will not return to this restaurant!

Don’t get the hype about this place at all? I had the duck noodles (apparently that’s their famous dish). The duck was okay but not worth Traveler’s Choice or all the amazing reviews at all. Just felt like a normal place that happens to make fresh noodles? I go to loads of places in London that do the same thing, so it wasn’t exactly innovative or exciting. Another review made a good point, just because the noodles are handmade that doesn’t mean everything is ‘excellent’. If I wasn’t nearby, I wouldn’t travel to just come here. I wouldn’t bother to come back either, far better places without the prices. I did really like the fresh lime soda drink though. Feels like one of those TikTok trend places that has gone viral just for being viral. We’re in Asia, are homemade noodles really that unique? Staff weren’t that friendly like other Cambodian places I’ve been to. Summarised in two words: MEH / OVERHYPED! 🤷🏼♂️ PS: There was a hair in my noodle too (see photo). She was very apologetic when I showed her but it just puts you off… And to top off the ‘experience’, they short-changed me by 15k Riels. It could have been an honest mistake but this place is simply average and the definition of a tourist trap. Won’t come back and won’t be telling my friends to either.

The food was as SOUR as the attitude of the owner. We ordered 2 meals and 1 spring roll dish. After tasting the food it was AWFUL. We told the waitress that we didn’t like the food and requested her to please pack it for us in the container so we will give it to someone local instead of throwing the food in the bin and PAID $14 to her. And then the drama starts, owner came and asked for 50 cents extra for the container which we don’t have issue with, but then he mentioned that your lucky we are even giving you a container because in AUSTRALIA you won’t get the container if you want to take away your leftover food. He mentioned you only get paper towel to take your leftovers. 🤭🤔 Unknowingly for him we are from Australia and we told him his he’s wrong and there is no rule like that. Then he called his friend in Australia to prove us wrong 🤣 how stupid..! Anyways I spoke to his friend and he laughed and said just leave it, he’s an idiot 🤣 Anyways moral of the story: IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME do visit this place or better go somewhere else end enjoy GOOD Cambodian meal with a smile. Such a WASTE of MONEY. He doesn’t even deserve 1 ⭐️

The food quality was acceptable but not outstanding. Frankly the best part of the meal was the Coconut Smoothie. The highly rated Noodles with egg & tomatoes actually contained very little egg, leaving something to be desired. I have to admit; however, that it was filling, in contrast to the Curry Chicken, which was served in a half coconut bowl. The noodle making show creates quite a racket, and annoying if you are eating a meal nearby. Cooking should be in the kitchen not the sidewalk. Staff were very busy and I had to get up and hunt them down on several occasions for small requests, lime menu and WiFi password. They do enjoy relative popularity among the local establishments and have a very good manager who seemed to speak several languages, but in Some respects they are a victim of their own success because demand seems to prevent delivery of a consistently good product or service.
