Monorom Cambodian Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Beach

While driving around the local area our usual stop is Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, we found this spot and decided to check it out. Phnom Penh was super packed and we didn't want to wait.

Monorom had one table occupied when we came in. We were greeted by a young man who welcomed us with a cheerful attitude. Offered us a choice of their specialty drinks. My wife got their Cambodian style ice coffee, kiddo got Thai iced tea, and I got their fresh coconut 🥥 water.

For starters we got their spring rolls which came with shrimp 🍤 and their homemade fish sauce. My wife ordered their red curry noodles which had chicken, kiddo ordered their Phad Thai, and I ordered their Duck Noodle soup with large rice noodles.🍜 Everything was delicious and I thought their broth for the duck noodle soup tasted even better than Phnom Penh's bone broth 🤫😝

Our server suggested their Chinese donuts which usually pairs well with soups or congee. Sure enough said suggestion was a great one, for their donuts had a better quality in texture and taste than the other popular competitive restaurant.

We may be coming back here for Cambodian cuisine.

Place was clean, organized, and service was excellent. So if you're in the mood for some awesome Cambodian cuisine, stop by and please check out their menu and order up some food! We will definitely will be back to sample more items...

CAMBODIA 🇰🇭 Eat the World LA review: One of the best reasons to fly to Long Beach rather than LAX, other than the ease of entry and exit unknown at the latter, is the chance to pop into one of the area restaurants. After dropping off my mother at the end of a recent visit, and an obligatory walk on the beach, we settled into a Saturday lunch before noon and found ourselves amongst a busy dining room dominated with a big group of eight.

Senmonorom is the capital of the eastern Mondulkiri Province, which borders Vietnam and is home to the indigenous Pnong people. Other than the name, this seems to be the only connection with this part of Cambodia as the menu sticks to a Khmer hit list which is very popular with the community here in Long Beach.

After having the life-changing plate of lot cha at Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, a few blocks north on Cherry Avenue, it is very difficult to resist a plate of it at any Cambodian restaurant. While the version here may not have the same effects, lot cha ($7.50) with chicken still was easily finished and enjoyed. By the time the food came it was noon and that of course was good enough reason to enjoy a cold Angkor Beer. You can find a lot of reasons to relax in Long Beach, but good Cambodian food and drink is at the top...

For some odd reason every time I’m in Long Beach, I tend to search for a Cambodian spot. 1. Its very uncommon anywhere else in L.A 2. Always down to try new food from different cultures! Cambodian cuisine offers a melting pot of Thai, Lao, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian spices clearly, through the agricultural and spice trade. This is probably the fourth Cambodian restaurant I’ve visited in Long Beach. The vibe and décor are very cultural and cute. It’s a small restaurant with 3 booths, 8 top in the middle and 12 top on the other side. The service was very friendly, the walk to the restroom was interesting because I got to see the kitchen which was filled with aunties and uncles, seemed like a family business for sure! Come during lunch because the specials are worth it! Ordered #17 Khmer BBQ Pork with rice 5/5 – BBQ had a nice glaze to it, paired well with pickled veggies and spicy sauce #24 Mint Leaf Chicken with rice 5/5 – Similar to Thai basil chicken but instead they used mint and even topped it with an egg! #27 Student Noodle 5/5 -Enjoyed how these were served with thin noodles, the flavor was delish (similar to pad thai) The parking lot is small, I was lucky to have found a spot!...
