Absolutely delicious food!
My favorites are the amok catfish, yellow curry with chicken, and eggplant with tofu. Amazing flavors!
The owner, Brian, is really funny!
They are only open for weekday lunches and there's no curb appeal so this is not a date night restaurant.
There is limited and narrow parking in a tiny lot on the other side of the street. I find it is usually easier to park on the residential street and walk a short distance.

Authentic Cambodian Gem. Waited 7 years to eat here as the operating hours never aligned with my work schedule. Had a wonderful lunch at Chez Sovan and couldn’t recommend it more! We enjoyed the fish amok, shrimp with green beans, and rice—everything was delicious, flavorful, and felt like a truly authentic Cambodian experience.
Since it was our first visit, the owner, Niyum (Bryan), generously treated us to a complimentary Tom Yum soup, which was a lovely surprise....read full review

This place is a gem and has the best Cambodian food in San Jose! Been coming here for years with the food having one of a kind taste that melts in your mouth with all the special spices and herbs. Love the ginger, fish, and the tumeric noodles! If you’re ever in the area, it’s a must try. The owner is super special and has the best attitude ever every time we see him! Keep up the great work we love it!

Chez Sovan is a warm and communal restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The staff is fantastic, providing helpful, fun, and friendly service with great attention to detail. The food is great, featuring standouts like the Amok fish, ginger fish, curry, and beef. Meals are served piping hot and fresh, with a focus on traditional Cambodian flavors. The humble cabbage salad has become a favorite among customers, and the ginger fish is noted for its excellent taste. The restaurant has a simple, no-frills atmosphere, but the friendly staff and quality food make up for it. With a cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices (around $17 per plate), Chez Sovan is a great spot to visit, with a constant flow of customers and a welcoming vibe. The chicken curry is distinct in flavor, making it a savory treat and a reason for many to return. Additionally, parking is available in the lot located at the back of the floral store next door.
