When I found out that there was Khmer (Cambodian) food in Japan, I knew right away that my husband and I needed to try this place ASAP! I felt a sense of nostalgia walking in, from the smell of the authentic ingredients to the classic Khmer music playing in the background. Definitely feels like home away from home. My husband and I ordered a good amount of food and we even went in for seconds on a couple of dishes. If you haven't already tried Khmer food and you would like to explore your pallet, this restaurant would be it.
I am able to speak a decent amount of Khmer (at least enough to hold a conversation) and the staff were friendly and warm when we spoke to them in Japanese, Khmer, and a little bit of English.

I do think you need to train some of your staff for sure. I came to have lunch and they need to...

We tried several and all were great, so I recommend you call over the owner and get his advice before ordering. This would explain why this family have been in business for so many years. Great service and excellent food. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant was packed on a Friday evening with many large groups, so book in advance, especially...
