Heard good things about this place from a roommate so I went to try with my boyfriend we are primarily pescatarian, but we also enjoy tofu and vegetarian options and I was very pleased to see that there was tons of Seafood, tofu and vegetable options. I ordered the Fish Amok which was catfish cooked in a slightly spicy and savory coconut sauce, while my boyfriend got the sweet and sour tilapia. these were two of the more expensive items on the menu but i think it was worth it. The sauce on the catfish was a bit salty for my taste, but with the fresh spinach and rice it balanced out. The sweet and sour tilapia was perfect though, sauce was balanced, fish was cooked maybe a little too much for my taste but the color and glaze looked and tasted great, and the bites of cucumber tomato and lettuce really complemented the intense flavors of the sauce and slight dryness of the fish. Thai tea and khmer coffee was also very good, they brew the coffee to order so it tasted fresh despite being iced.
The most important thing to me was the atmosphere and service. the two servers working front of house were so polite and attentive, i didnt get their names but there was a bald man and a woman with a facial piercing and long ponytail. The decoration and plateware were also very beautiful and not over the top, i particularly appreciated the stainless steel water cups. Somehow they made me feel impressed with the whole ordeal. overall, I would totally recommend even if you are just wanting to stop in for some tea or coffee but dont miss out on...
Read moreReally disappointing experience. Came in for lunch with my small child and ordered something really easy and quick to cook that my kid would eat...some spring rolls and Pad Thai. Place was about 1/2 full, but they still seemed to lose our order, serving two tables who came in well after we did. After a 25 minute wait with my kid I was told that it was coming out shortly. They proceeded to serve up a lukewarm, cement block of Pad Thai Noodles that sat in kitchen for too long and required a knife to cut through. It was inedible, and I was shocked that the cook and staff let it leave the kitchen. I know it's not "Cambodian" but they have it on the menu and really, how hard is it to make? I let both the wait staff and host know the food was inedible, pointing to the solid brick of noodles that was on the plate, and all I got was, "Sorry, I'll let the chef know". No offer to remake it or take it off my bill. Poorly rolled spring rolls (my kid can roll them better) fell apart after the first bite and became a salad. Overall, poor service, bad food, and a waste of my $50 bucks. We will head to Curry Leaf of...
Read moreYou don’t know what you have missed in your life until you eat here. I got the shrimp spring rolls and they were spectacular! That sauce has something in it because I am hooked. But even without the sauce the spring roll was so flavorful, fresh and perfect temperature.
I also got the lemongrass stir fry with beef. I foolishly decided to forgo rice to soak up that delicious sauce.. luckily I had a spoon so I was able to grab some sauce while I scooped up the onions. Which were perfectly soft, but with a crunch that left me shaking my head in disbelief. I get that restaurants need food permits to serve food. But restaurants with this much flavor need a permit to warn you that the next few meals following this one will probably be disappointing.
Oh, and the service was super friendly and nice. They chatted and connected with their guest. Locals and regulars (sadly I can not become one and will mourn this for years to come) were treated by name and asked how their trip, family...
