Restaurante Kav Ly — Restaurant in Barcelona

Lovely restaurant with a fusion of Cambodian and Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is very spacious, yet cozy with ample seating though tucked away in a quiet neighborhood away from main roads. We inquired if we could substitute shrimp in the Ramen Camboyano instead of chicken and they willingly obliged. It’s very slightly spicy and rich in curry flavor with slices of green and red bell peppers and a hint of lemongrass with a good helping of glass noodles.

The Lubina Al Vapor is a steamed whole sea bass (about 12” long) served in soy sauce and topped with slivers of ginger and green onions…yummy! Just watch out for the spines.

Our 2-person dinner went well with the house white wine but we were too full to have dessert.

Judith, our server, was very gracious and cheerfully assisted us through perusing the menu which doesn’t have an English translation. (The menu pages looked a bit weathered from age and could improve with English translations and a reprint.)

Definitely worth a visit if it isn’t too out-of-the-way when you’re...

This place just opened in our neighborhood some weeks ago, so we were super excited to try it out as we had never tried Cambodian food before. The experience was ok, but that was it unfortunately. The menu is not a fusion, there is one separate menu for Chinese cuisine and another one for Cambodian dishes (a paper Print-out). We tried different options, and food was just ok, but not outstanding. I would have loved somebody to explain the dishes and how they are traditionally eaten. Price-wise I found it overpriced for average quality of food and small portions (30€+ per person). Service was not great at all. They didn’t distinguish the Cambodian and the Chinese beer, and overall it was really difficult to gets their attention at all. And there were only two tables on that evening. Overall, we were rather...

Poor presentation - food slapped onto the plate. Ingredients bad or didn’t exist. Very disppointed. Food was fabulous with previous owner who was Catalan/Cambodian. I ordered KE TIU MUW. It fell apart, mainly made up of old lettuce and bean sprouts. Don’t remember seeing ‘langostinos’. For the main course, I ordered Chinese ARROZ DE LA CASA. Didn’t see any vegetables and the ‘langostinos’ were chopped up into little pieces. My husband ordered ÑUAM LAHONG salad, tasted more like pickled vegetables from a jar and no papaya. Plus side: attractive restaurant and nice dining area. Verdict: If you are hungry and want to spend more than 30 euros then do it. You won’t be coming back anyway. BTW, ask for the price list...
