Nam Khao was a let down
Food: 3
Recommended dishes: Laab Gai
The food was okay, but there were a couple things that were disappointing. First, the dish we wanted to order wasn’t available. Then we ordered something that the staff said would take around 15 minutes which I was totally fine with waiting for, but it ended up being more than 30 minutes. The food didn’t amaze me so I don’t think it was worth waiting for and I wish they would have been more honest about how long it would take.
Edit response:
1. The main issue is the difference between the expected wait time of 15 minutes and the actual >30 minutes wait time.
2. I believe there were two other groups when we ordered and there were also tables open, so it was not crowded at all especially for a restaurant during dinner time.
3. I feel that the response I received from this review indicates that the owner is not open to hearing feedback and taking constructive criticism. I probably won’t come here again since it seems there won’t be any improvements put into place.

I got the Lao chicken noodle soup for takeout. There are only a few pieces of chicken in there and the rest is noodles.

Always support cambodian roots!!! Anyone who complains does not understand the culture. Cambodian food is always about balance with all flavors or citrus, sweet, and salty. This place always delivers.

we ordered the big platter, the picture includes thai tea, but after you ordered, owner said you have to order saperately. The picture is deceiving. And 2 fried chicken wings with cold noddle, cold egg are not worth the $30 at all.
