Absolutely 1000% LOVE the food. A tasty treat. No-nonsense, simple but delectable dishes. My favorites were the fried ginger fish, and beef curry. My goal is, to eat here once a month. I had no idea this restaurant has been around since 1987. That blew my mind that I'd grown up in this city, and have been missing out all these years.
Parking: Parking lot located at the back of the floral store, that is next door to Chez Sovan restaurant.

Don’t let the outside of this little gem fool you - the food inside is beyond stellar and the owner is an absolute hoot. Been coming here for over a decade and am so glad it continues to serve its amazing food. Get there early before the most delicious dishes sell out!!
Get yourself a skewer (or three), Amok (a delightful soul hug of a fish dish), and anything else that strikes your fancy. Can’t go wrong with anything on this menu!!
Really great food. The Amok and chicken curry are particularly delicious, but really everything is good. The owner is also awesome and consistently hilarious. I wish they were open all day, but alas I have to find time to get there when I can.

I want to visit Chez Sovan again and again with my family and my friends!
Food/Drinks: Amok, Chicken Curry, Cambodian Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk • Amok - Although the basa fish was not served in a banana leaf like I was expecting (perhaps they may be expensive!), it being in its sauce made me excited to try it! A part of my first meal of the day, my initial bite of it pleasantly shocked my taste buds—steamed, melt-in-your-mouth fish with a sweet and savory flavor. We even ended up taking our little bit of leftover sauce home to eat with rice! • Chicken Curry - This bright orange curry with the colors of the chicken, potatoes, and carrots peaking through was a sight to behold that helped wake me up! It had a flavorful, comforting taste with spices that warmed my body. We took our leftovers home and even were given extra to go with it! • Cambodian Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk - Served with a spoon of condensed milk to mix the coffee with, I was glad to have another refreshment besides water! It had a balanced flavor with the bitter coffee and the condensed milk for sweetness. I just wish I had a bigger serving! • We were also offered a variety of candy for dessert!
Service/Ambiance: Feels like a home and a close community • Bryan welcomed us in and immediately we felt his amazing aura—funny, kind, and like a cool uncle. He recommended dishes to us and throughout our lunch he made us laugh and made sure we were taken care of. It felt like him and his family welcomed us with open arms and served us a home-cooked meal! • Numerous customers came in and made themselves comfortable—conversing with Bryan and their usuals being known by him, walking around, sitting close to the kitchen; we could tell that they were regulars! There were also customers whose older family members recommended Chez Sovan to them—of course, Bryan remembered who they were when they were brought up in conversation. And, like us, there were first-time customers who have seen and heard positive reviews of the restaurant and are now a part of the family—it is now our turn to pass on the torch!
Parking: Somewhat difficult to find parking • We parked on Madera Avenue, a street in the bordering neighborhood, which Chez Sovan is at a corner of. There is a small parking lot close to the restaurant with limited spaces; it was full when we arrived there on a Thursday right before opening time at 11 a.m.

Haven't been here in years but I want people to realize what an actual hidden gem this place is. Great service and food. You better get there quick because their business model is open for 2.5 hours a day and send out incredible food in that short period of time.

Open for weekday lunch. I got the cabbage salad with meat, ground peanuts and various greens and spices. A bright tasty dressing. I give it 5 out of 5. My wife got ginger fish, lightly fried with no breading. We also got 2 meat kebabs. Service exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
I have been going here for many years and never had a bad experience always great food and people!

Food great, but service was impeccable! LOVED the Amok fish, we have something very similar in Malaysia. Got a free curry, and server/chef was so friendly, so charming, and took amazing care of us. Really delightful place, would definitely go again!
