Run by an extremely sweet person who patiently explained the different kinds of food that my celiac friend could enjoy. Food was incredible. I can’t wait to come back and try more things. Had the number 8 chicken dish with a couple of beef skewers would order all of it again. My friend got the fish. So so so good.

Amazing mom/pop restaurant! Love the vibe but mostly the food! Papaya salad, fish and chicken dishes were wonderful as well as the crunchy rice. Be prepared for small number of dine in tables and late afternoon sunlight. Will return!

Amazing flavor! It's my first time and what a gem! The menu is worth reading on its own 😁 Had the skewers (#13). Comes in beef or pork. Couldn't decide so they recommended half and half. Perfection. It's a small restaurant with big flavor and service! Excellent, friendly service. Moderately priced. Free parking in lot.

Very aromatic food and atmosphere. The service is excellent. On top of the savory meal, the chef is very passionate in sharing her love of cooking authentic and traditional Cambodian food. My goal is to go through there whole menu, so far I have tried there #3 chicken leg with they're amazing sticky and crispy rice as well as there #2 meatballs with the same. I've also had the beef skewer, nicely seasoned and cooked to a nice tenderness.

This has been on our list to try for sometime and with other amazing reviews we were super excited going in. The service was very friendly and when you walk in this place smells amazing. The food handling rating is also top notch which is something that is very important to us. You can really tell the people put love and effort into their food. If you plan to eat in know it is very drafty and can be cold in there even with the space heaters they have running. We got the stuffed chicken #1 and the #8. The stuffed chicken (#1) was seen and raved about in many reviews; but it wasn’t for us. We tried to like it and we hate food waste but after a second bite neither of us ate any more. It is an oddly sweet flavor combined with seasonings that just don’t seem to go well with our palette. It also did not come with sticky rice and instead their signature rice which they made us aware of when we ordered. The sticky rice might have made more balance with the flavor but we can’t say for sure. 1/5. The #8 was in my opinion better but the chicken was dry, possibly due to it being chopped and cooked. We ordered it mild and then got the chili sauce on the side. That sauce was great, had a kick that lingered. The rice on this plate was said to be the same as the other but this one definitely had more flavor. 3/5. Overall we left full but not really satisfied and feeling kind of bogged down. We felt bad leaving food behind but we knew if we took the rest home we would not eat it. Maybe Cambodian food is just not our thing but we always go into places with an open mind and we do love all types of food, so it was just a surprising experience based on others reviews. Not sure if we would have ordered other things that we would have had a better experience. Overall the price was also disappointing since most of the meal was rice. Our total was ~$50. The other people that were eating in had sandwiches that looked amazing. Basically if you go I’d skip the stuffed chicken and give something else a try.
