I had no idea what to expect.. probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Super cozy and amazing staff. I had the Amok. Off the charts fresh and lite on the tummy.

Small cafe, very cozy, great food, unexpected jalapenos were delicious but if you don't like spicy check the dish, quiet on a Sat in Feb for lunch. I had the lemongrass tofu. It was a flavorful dish and beautifully plated.

The flavor was good but the portion size was extremely small. For ~$20 I think they could at least give us 4 instead of 3 tiny little skewers and tiny bowl of rice. Also, when we first entered the restaurant, the older male waiter was very rude. He asked if we have a reservation when the restaurant was 80% empty and we said no. Then he asked us again and sounded irritated as if we have committed a crime. He then sighed and said we can just sit at the window. Then, another couple came in after us also didn’t have reservation and was properly seated on a nicer table. It was a very distasteful experience to start with. Really a disappointment with price to food quality ratio and also service.

First time eating here, so we tried two small plates and a main dish. All dishes were good, but the sausage trio small plate was incredible. Three full sausages, each with their own unique flavor. Next time we visit, that is a must have!

Just utterly fantastic, everything we had was delicious and it was such a diversity of flavors and textures all of which were pure awesome. I can't reccomend this place enough and if we were more local we'd be here probably weekly. Instead we will have to settle for just adding it to our must visit places whenever we are in town.

This was my first time trying Cambodian food, and I came across this restaurant in the vicinity. I liked the nice ambiance and had high expectations. We ordered Amok and Angkor Noodles with Chicken. The Amok was absolutely delicious - a must-try! We chose it after seeing many positive reviews. The Angkor Noodles were good as well - flavorful and tasty. It was definitely comforting food, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for comfort food in a pleasant setting with a view of trains passing by. The service was good too. The only downside was that we felt it was a bit expensive for the quantity; for two dishes, it came to around $60. We may give the Prahok dishes a try on our next visit.

My wife and I had a wonderful meal here today! The owners are very friendly and have created a modern, clean ambiance better than the typical southeast Asian places. The food tastes like it’s all made from scratch with balanced flavors and nice presentation. We had the amok, green vegetable/tofu curry, a salad, and the jackfruit sticky rice dessert.

This is my new favorite spot for comfort food! Both items (fried rice and green curry) were amazing! Super flavorful.

I don’t know why there’s not a lot of reviews because this place is amazing! Clean with good food. I highly recommend

We found this place by the number of stars on reviews, but mostly because we wanted to try something new. What a great choice! The food tasted great (we had both curry soups). Party in our mouths :)
We had mango rice for desert, amazing and highly recommend.
