New Phnom Penh Restaurant

New Phnom Penh Restaurant is a Cambodian restaurant at 2301 S 7th St in Philadelphia, PA, serving a cozy, neighborhood-style meal in the city’s Cambodia Town area. Customer reviews describe a small dining room with about 20 seats and a welcoming, family-like feel. It’s a good fit for diners who enjoy Cambodian flavors, want a satisfying noodle soup, or are looking for a relaxed local place to share a meal with family and friends. The restaurant has a 4.6 rating from 146 reviews, and guests often praise the food as fresh, flavorful, and filling.

Noodle soups are among the dishes that guests return to and recommend. Reviewers single out the Phnom Penh noodle soup and combination noodle soup, describing the broth as especially enjoyable and the portions as satisfying. One guest mentions pairing the combination soup with fried dough, while another describes trying several soups with friends and finding each one comforting. These accounts make the soups a natural choice for a first visit, particularly if you like a hearty bowl with a flavorful broth. Guests also mention fried squid served with a homemade dipping sauce, offering another savory option to enjoy alongside a meal.

There are sweet and refreshing choices to round out the experience, too. Reviews mention a smooth, fresh-tasting durian shake that was not overly sweet, Vietnamese iced coffee prepared less sweet on request, and a sweet banana rice dessert that reminded one diner of their mother’s cooking. These are customer-reported favorites, rather than a guarantee that every item is available at every visit. Taken together, the reviews suggest a menu with comforting soups, fried favorites, desserts, and drinks that can make lunch or a casual family meal feel complete.

Guests also highlight polite, attentive service and describe conversations with the owner, adding to the neighborhood character of the restaurant. The compact dining room may feel intimate, so it suits people who appreciate a cozy setting more than a spacious one. Families are welcome in the experiences shared by reviewers, including one whose children especially enjoyed the soup. New Phnom Penh Restaurant is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; it is closed Thursday. Customers also mention food delivery services as an option. For anyone exploring Cambodian food in Philadelphia, it offers a welcoming place to try well-loved noodle soups and other dishes in a casual, family-oriented setting.
