Very confused about the service. Every table had people sitting there, but the lady who took out order was screaming at us about how they are closed even though they clearly weren't. As well as getting very strange about me trying to use the hot sauce they had sitting out. Also my order was not correct with the angry lady giving me fried chicken instead of the fish cakes, which they got mad about me asking for the correct order. In turn they gave me frozen fish balls in a plastic box instead of an actual order of the correct item. I dont understand what their issues is, but I would not come back based on the horrific service and attitude of the people who work there. Incredibly unprofessional and straight up mean

I wasn't quite sure what to expect coming to Lunette but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how good the meal was and will definitely be returning. I came with 2 other people at around 12:30pm on a Sunday and there was a super long line so we decided to order takeout so we wouldn't need to wait for a table to be seated but thankfully a large wooden table across the way from Lunette was open.
Items we ordered: - KTPP - Pork Noodle Soup - KTPP - Dry Noodle - Loc Lak Salt + Pepper Beef - Cha Kreung Spicy Lemongrass chicken (but no spice because the member of our party getting this dish can't handle spice)
All 4 dishes were pretty good but I think my favorite out of all of them was the Pork Noodle Soup though I thought that there were supposed to be pork rinds on top but it could have been due to the fact that we ordered ours to-go that there weren't any. The Dry noodle was interesting, I only had a bite of it but I'm more of a soup noodle type of person. Both the KTTP dishes had a bunch of black pepper which I personally loved. All of the dishes were pretty flavorful to the point of where you didn't feel like you needed additional condiments.
The price point is average for the Ferry building & SF area though the portion was a bit small. We were kind of assuming that hence ordering the 4th item to share. There were sauces also available inside which I'm not sure what they were but they were interesting in a good way because I wasn't expecting them to be sour/tangy.

Located near one end of the ferry building. Got the pork noodle soup and the loc lak (salt / pepper beef). Both really delicious and flavorful. If this is a gateway to more Cambodian food for people, even better.

Lemongrass chicken was funky in a great way. Pork noodle soup seems to be the thing to order for first timers

Overall really solid spot. Food is great, prices are reasonable esp. for the ferry building, and the service/ambiance is on point.
Came here for the first time while Dreamforce was in town so its possible it was busier than usual. That said, it didn't impact my experience at all. Ordered at the register, got seated right away, food came out super fast! My partner and I shared the KTPP Pork Noodle Soup and the Prahok Ktiss / Pork belly over rice and both were DELICIOUS!
The noodle soup had a clean savory broth with a hint of sweetness. The pork belly dish over rice was so flavorful and unique. Would absolutely come back here again. I hope they get added to the delivery apps at some point!

Really enjoyed my meal at Lunette. I’ve been to Cambodia dozens of times over the years and it was very clearly a beautiful, traditional Khmer dish I was eating, but at the same time there was something so different and unique about it too. Very evident the chef(s) take great pride in their craft and have made tweaks here and there which really turned some traditional Cambodian dishes into something very special.
I wanted some soup and came across this place on my stroll around the Ferry Building. Ordered a pork noodle soup and fried chicken wings.
The chicken wings came as five juicy wings fried to perfection with a batter that is peppery, umami, and moreish. Advisable to share although I licked the bones clean off those wings.
The soup though, is a highlight of its own and will linger in my palate for a long long time. The broth is clear and yet so rich that is able to carry the mixture of succulent pork slices, juicy pork mince, fresh thick prawns, crunchy and clean-tasting beansprouts. All of this sprinkled with a generous dusting of black pepper. Add a spoon of the pickled chillies and enjoy the explosion of flavours in your mouth.
I sat at the barstool, the bachata they play on the stereo makes me want to dance. I was having a moment of epiphany soaking everything in my lunch.
It is not only a great meal, it is among those that really makes an impression. Will go back and evangelise others to this gem. Thank you!
P.s: service wise, I think there should be a little bit more sensitivity and warmth in how the front of office treats customers.
A cashier, with the initial of HD, was so unaccomodating. We were just ordering and eyeing a table that was almost finished. She directly just made our orders takeaway and when I said we got a table she merely replied ‘I sent the orders in’ even if I haven’t even paid for it. I’m not even trying to be a difficult customer, but I’m bringing my old aunts on an SF excursion and the least I wanna do is for them to eat and enjoy the experience I normally have at Lunette, not eating out from the store in takeaway boxes.
Food wise amazing as always, but it’s the little things like that that make a restaurant beloved.

I visited Lunette’s during my lunch break and wanted to see what the hype was about. I did not have a lot of time nor the stomach to try many different dishes, so I ordered the Lort Cha (stir fried pin noodles w/ pork) which looked most unique to me and took a seat at the bar. The dish was out after about 10 minutes. Sitting by the bar, I can see the staff are very efficient and each person has a role they own. It got pretty busy for lunch and tables filled up fast while the line grew longer.
Unfortunately I was not wowed by the dish. This might have been the first time I tried pin noodles. I found them interesting at first, but ultimately not my favorite texture so I couldn’t finish them all at the end. I enjoyed the chinese broccoli, bean sprouts, but the dish composition (mostly noodle) felt underwhelming especially given the price point.

Loved the salt pepper beef (loc lak)! The service was fast, tables were clean, and my boyfriend and I appreciated that their kitchen is completely nut free. My meal was fabulously flavored, I've never eaten red onions that were cooked to such a mild flavor. The lime dipping sauce was the perfect accent to the marinated beef, bean sprouts, and white rice.

My first time here and ordered their famous noodle dish to go… took 20 minutes long when the cashier told me it will be only 10 minutes. The dish was so so nothing special and super salty :( the small cup of broth has good flavor but again too salty!! Are they hoping will buy more drinks for their salty foods??
