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 :)

I stopped in here based on the high Google reviews and my love for trying new types of food. I’m a fan of SE Asian food, but had never tried Cambodian food before. So glad I stopped in! I had the Amok per the server’s recommendation. It was delicious! Perfectly balanced flavors and perfectly cooked. The mango sticky rice was also highly recommended. I don’t normally order dessert, but I went with it based on how much I liked dinner. No regrets! It was the meal I was hoping to find. I was dining alone so I just wanted a casual place without crowds. A great meal without all the hype. ✔️

A great find! We were looking for a place to eat ahead of heading to show and we stumbled across this place. No Yelp or Google reviews, just a menu that looked great. The good was amazing! Everything was fresh and delicious. We ordered scallops, fried rice, a couple of noddle dishes and pineapple curry. Everyone's favorite was the mango salad and mango rice.

I traveled from out-of-town and wanted to support a Khmer-owned restaurant and was so happy to make that trek to Angkor Chef. Chef Channy is such a lovely person who puts such loving effort into her food. The Cambodian sausages were excellent. My mom loved the vegan papaya salad (bok lahong). Enjoyed the jackfruit rice dessert. Beautiful, business-lunch environment and fairly intimate.

Vegan green curry with tofu was excellent and the Vegan jackfruit rice was the best dessert.

The fish amok was really good! Definitely recommend. Imo more flavorful than chez sovan and a bonus is this place is not just open during weekday lunches! The green curry had a heavy basil flavor that my friends said reminded them of pesto so they were indifferent about it.

I may be mistaken but I paid for the group and when I got home, I realized I must’ve done the mental math wrong and added an extra $30 to the total amount after what I wanted to tip. Checking my statement a few days later, they put the total according to how much I’d put down as the tip. Really honest of them—always appreciate that!

Delicious Cambodian food. My friends really enjoyed their curries, sausage trio platter, and lemongrass chicken dishes, while I enjoyed my vegetarian/vegan Angkor noodles and tarobytes. They have about 4 vegan options that are clearly labeled (everything else has fish sauce). Service was prompt and great as well (Saturday night). We will be back!

The best Cambodian restaurant I have tried in South Bay Area. The restaurant is located in downtown, decorated very cozy. They offer traditional Cambodian dishes with modern fusion. The service is great. Make sure to ask special, some dishes/desserts are not daily on the menu.
