Small, chic, and cozy restaurant with big taste! We had the beef skewers and ginger stirfry with chicken. Delicious! If I lived here this place would be on my regular rotation.

When you walk in, youre greeted by warm smile and a modern, beautifully decorated interior. The food was delicious all around starting the beef skewers to our main entree — hers: cat fish with coconut milk cooked in banana leaf & his: lemongrass stir fry. We also ordered fresh squeezed oj, hot tea and soda and finished off with banana coconut dessert. We came at an odd time of 2:30 pm so we had the entire place to ourselves and did not wait for seats. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back!

We Came for lunch. Got the Lemongrass chicken stir-fry. Fresh, delicious, and a nice kick of spice. Also got the Amok catfish (which came wrapped in a BANANA LEAF BOWL…). Very tasty, and an awesome presentation. We’ll be back for sure!

What an absolute gem! I stumbled across Angkor Chef when I was stuck in San Jose for a day due to flight delays. The food was truly exceptional. I had the lemongrass stir fry with tofu and the rice pudding steamed in banana leaf for dessert. Both were so fresh, delicious and authentic. I will be remembering that meal for a long time! The service was 5 stars as well. Kent and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Going for lunch again tomorrow before I head back to the airport!

I came here for the first time soon after they opened. It's really nice to see a Cambodian restaurant in San Jose, and a new restaurant in downtown. The food was good and the owner was out talking with the customers. Highly recommended and I look forward to going again.

Outside of Cambodia, this is the most delicious and authentic Cambodian food we have had. The service was great, and prompt. The fish amok was divine. The fish noodles were yummy. The tofu and green veggies was excellent. We also had fresh orange juice and the mango sticky rice, both were amazing. We will be visiting again.

We had a great delicious lunch with Khmer (Cambodian) food. The atmosphere is very nice and the owner, Mrs. Channy, is very kind to talk to us. We strongly recommend you to try, if you have not done yet.

We had a wonderful meal at Angkor Chef last weekend. It was my first time having Cambodian food in a long time and this restaurant was a perfect refresher. We ordered amok and pickled mustard greens with pork belly. Both dishes were outstanding.

The service was friendly and the restaurant was nicely designed. We’ll definitely be back to try papaya salad with beef skewers, homemade sausage, and sticky rice desserts.

Skewers were heaven. Reminds me of some of the families I grew up near that always had birthday parties with these skewers.
The green curry was unique, but very tasty.
The chicken dip (sorry don't know the name) but had this fermented sauce taste not for the unadventurous! I loved it :)
