Having been to Cambodia a couple times, I like Khmer food and it’s not always easy to find. I was in Lowell for an appointment and seeing how many Cambodian restaurants there were in the area, I picked this spot for lunch. The food was so delicious - I had the combination stuffed chicken wing and beef sausage, which came with a nice bowl of herbal chicken soup, pickled veggies and rice. It’s a small, hole in the wall restaurant run by a nice family and it’s reasonably priced. I’ll definitely come back.
One of the oldest family-owned Cambodian restaurants in the area, and one of my favorites. Introduced to me by my grandfather when I was a kid, the food still tastes as good as I remember it. Their specialty are the twakoh or beef sausages, stuffed chicken wings, meekatang or stir fried flat noodles and my favorite is the beef stew noodles with butter bread. It is a hole in the wall restaurant that’ll warm you up with all the love and care put into the dishes being served up. Be sure to bring cash as they are cash only. Definitely worth a visit if you never had home cooked Cambodian food before.
The first time I was here with my boyfriend, I was scammed. Each drink was $4, they charged us $5. And the beef noodle soup that included the bread and butter, they charged for the bread and butter, when they weren't supposed to, those items were already included in the beef noodle soup, it literally says it on the menu. The second time I ordered take out. The mekatang noodles with shrimp, complete rip off. The portion was very small and they charged me $20. I went to Lowell restaurant got the same thing, the portion was way bigger, the shrimp was bigger and more in portion, and overall the flavor was just better. I don't recommend coming here, unless you wanna get scammed.
My first time trying Cambodian food . Everything was good . I had a flat noodle dish with beef , spicy chicken with ginger and jalapeños and stuffed chicken wings . The wings are great . You gotta give them a shot . They are flats stuffed with noodles and spices. Let me know if you figure out how they do it. I ate one before I realized there were no bones , should have took a picture . Service was great , people were so nice . I hear the soups/stews are great . I'll be back to try them
Great food. Great service. Small family business of delightful offerings. Excellent Asian inspired offerings, the soul food of Lowell. Great value, cash only, closes early, fantastic experience 😁!
Probably the best Cambodian meal I’ve ever had. I’ve gone to Cambodia twice and taught English in Siem Reap and this was as good if not better than all of the meals I had there. I split the combo place with the stuffed chicken and sausage and a beef sandwich. It is a mother cooking and the son waiting tables. It barely looks like anything from the outside but once you find it inside this building you’re in for a treat! ឆ្ងាញ់ណាស់!
Hole in the wall place that serves delicious food. The kaw ko was amazing, especially with their toasted butter bread. The staff were super friendly and accommodating!
Wow, pleasantly surprised at this little hole in the wall, AKA a gem! The food was delicious; we all had pho, it warmed our souls! The staff was friendly and served us well. Plenty of seats and room for everyone. Make sure you check this place out. You won't regret it.
Small authentic Khmer food ! Drove a hour to come eat here and will do it again

One of our favorite restaurants in the entire Boston metro area! This is a hole-in-the-wall with amazing Cambodian food, everything we’ve had there is really good but we especially like the Kaw Ko with bread and the combination plate
