It's been a very long time since I've been to a Cambodian style restaurant. One of my friends told me to check this place out, and I'm glad that I did. It was nice to be able to order some of the homestyle food that I had growing up. We ordered the beef sticks with rice, Loat cha - an udon stir fried dish, and Phnom Penh House Special noodles (dry). All the dishes were great! The beef sticks had the nice grilled flavor to it, and the meat quality was great. The Phnom Penh noodles had great flavor to it. The stir-fried noodles were good, and they even had the old-school hot sauce (not sirircha) that I grew up using. The servers were super polite and also made sure that we had everything we needed.

We had a great time here at this restaurant. All the dishes were delicious, but the chicken wings were the best. The sea cream taro milk tea was good. I ordered 25% sweetness, but it was pretty sweet for us. Overall, it was a good experience. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Wow this was a great place to eat! This was my first time trying Cambodian food. It reminds be of Vietnamese and Chinese food. They even have some dishes that you would find from other cuisines like Hainan Chicken, spring rolls or egg rolls for example. I only got a chance to try this place because my friend recommended me to it. The staff seemed laid back and was quite friendly. We had the Phnom Penh House special. It was so good, you get to choose the noodle that you want and it came with a beef broth soup with bone and marrow in it. Would come back for just this alone. We also tried the Hainan Chicken, the Loat Cha, which was very tasty as well. Their Beef screwers are really good! We were debating to get the 3 with rice or the appetizer with 5. Get the 5! There is plenty of parking and a good amount of seating inside. The decor was cool, and overall we had a great experience. There are high chairs in case you have a kid that needs one. When we went there was also a drink special, so look out for those as well. Will definitely be back if we come back into the area! Until then !

I ordered dinner from here the other day. I ordered two rice porridge soups with chicken and two fried rice dishes I forgot which but they all delivered. My mom was feeling sick and she really liked the soup. She said it tastes like Mexican chicken soup with rice in it. The noodles were also great. I think they were garlic noodles which my dad devoured. He really likes them and said he'd definitely order the same next time. I also ordered spring rolls which were huge and also great taste. I will definitely return to try the rest of their dishes.

This Cambodian restaurant is the ultimate comfort food destination. They have homey dishes like Hainanese chicken, BBQ beef skewers, and crispy eggrolls. I love how each entree is accompanied by a nourishing broth on the side. Coupled with the sea cream iced tea was a heavenly treat.

Good place for casual lunch or dinner. Comforting and hearty foods. I think im going to do take out next time when I'm feeling sick. I got classic Hainan chicken, which met expectations. Their drink and dessert menu look really good too. I'm definitely going back to try drinks as well.

Man this place is really good. Everything here has so much flavor. Really love the thai tea here not to sweet or bland. I got the beef stick man that's freaking delicious. Everything is spot on my new favorite spot. Tried the egg rolls and Cambodian fried rice. The Cambodian fried rice is a must try. Anybody in the area should really try this place out.
