I tried the three-piece beef skewer, and for $18 flat that’s a decent amount of food for that price nowadays. And the flavor was absolutely on point.
The meat was a bit salty for my taste. Thai tea was extremely sweet. Great customer service.
One of the best Khmer food I have had in a while! For about $20 dollars, I got a bowl of Phnom Penh Noodles with a side of Chaquai (fried bread stick). The noodles were warm and flavourful with lots of fresh meats and vegetables. The chaquai was very crispy on the outside and fluffy on tbe inside. We also got a side of Naga Wings which was very crispy, juicy, with a sweet chili sauce. The servers were patient and respectful. This may be my go-to for Cambodian noodles in Cali.
Randomly decided to come here with friends. And was not disappointed. I got the poached chicken and it was good. The soup that came with it was delicious too. My friends got the beef skewers and THAT is the dish to get. Ended up ordering take out for my bf on my way out and got him the beef skewers. Secretly for myself as well. Service was quick. Zero issues. Ample seating and clean.
I'm so glad my girlfriend took me here! Very unsuspecting place, but I liked every bite I had! She wasn't quite satisfied with the skewers, but it being my first time, the only thing I could compare it to were most of the Chinese skewer places in the SGV that all have Uighur-inspired seasonings and no variety and are much smaller compared to this place, so I couldn't complain about this place at all! I thought it was already a step above what I'm used to already! Their green tea milk tea was a little weak on the green tea part compared to the milk, but otherwise, not bad!
