Khmai is a Cambodian restaurant located in Chicago that offers fine dining with reservations only. The restaurant has become popular after being featured in Eater, resulting in a high volume of customers. Despite a mix-up with the reservation, the staff is reported to be nice, attentive, and knowledgeable, making customers feel welcome even when mispronouncing menu items.
The restaurant has a gorgeous ambiance, and although it can get busy, the layout accommodates families and couples well. The menu offers unique and delicious dishes, such as the Beef Skewers (Sach Koh Ang) and Pork Belly (Chein Sach Chrouk), which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pork belly is said to melt in your mouth, and the sauces on both dishes are flavorful, with a perfect mix of savory, salty, and sweet flavors with a hint of lemongrass.
Mai's Eggrolls and the Chicken Wings (Slab Morn Ang) are must-tries, with crunchy eggrolls and wings that are fried to a crisp and slathered in a tasty sauce with tamarind and lemongrass. The Lod Cha (pan-fried pin noodles) with steak and a fried egg is also a popular dish. The drink menu is reported to rotate, and the guava margarita is a recommended addition to the meal.
The restaurant is a bit pricey, but customers find it worth every penny. Although there are no details on carry-out options, the wings are a customer favorite, and it is unclear if they are available for takeout. The restaurant will be closing temporarily for a move to a larger location, so customers are encouraged to make reservations before the move. Overall, Khmai offers a unique and delicious dining experience with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.
