This place is wonderful. It is the most authentic Cambodian food I’ve found in the U.S. As someone who regularly travels to Cambodia, I love Khmer food and culture. And this place is exactly that, authentic Khmer food and culture. The food is delicious and there is so much variety. I highly highly recommend the beef loc lac, so delicious (maybe even a little more than the ones I’ve had in Phnom Penh). I love Cambodia town and I would say Red Rose is the heart of it. Thank you for the great meal and service.

I do like the Special Noodle Soup. The small size is plenty for a hungry person.

This place does not have the same flavor as it did ten years ago. These are different owners and apparently a change in chef as well. All my favorites (fried rice, beef loc lac, pad thai..) are not the same anymore. Completely different recipe. They tried, but they cannot/did not duplicate the original Red Rose flavors that I've loved in the past. The name stayed the same but this is not the same Red Rose, sadly..

The atmosphere was a bit dated and run down but that's ok.
The service was friendly, and the food was decent but sanitation or hygiene of the place is questionable. There was an insect in a drink and there were flies. I think I may try a couple other places but this place isn't bad.

Wanted to try for the first time after many recommendations. Went in, took 10 minutes to get menus. Waited another 20 to give our order. No one ever came to take order, so we left. They weren't busy at all either. Made no sense, but oh well. Too many other good places close by to put up with this service.

While I living in Lowell I was irregular at this restaurant. Prices were fair. Everything has always been delicious and the service is good. This year I recently visited while visiting family and a few things went wrong. There’s a warning on the menu letting you know that the prices you see may not be what it is, but it’s the waiters duty to let you know of the prices that have changed on the menu we were looking at today. Everything was delicious, but being guided by the prices that I seen after reading that label thinking those were the correct ones I comfortably ordered. 10+ years coming here and I felt robbed. Felt like Boston due to the price of the fried squid, not fried calamari but fried squid. $28 in case you are wondering. Long story short be very careful when ordering at this restaurant because the prices you see regardless of the warning and the waiter knowing of the price difference and not informing you of it, you will end up losing up to triple of what you might predict. The food is phenomenal, but be ready to spend three dollar signs or more in this place if you’re not careful

My uncle took us here for breakfast before our flight back home to long beach. Long Beach had the highest population of cambodians outside of cambodian. Lowell being the 2nd highest. We have so many good cambodian restaurants in long Beach. I was skeptical on how good this place would be but it was very delicious. I ordered the special mee katang or special chow fun. My youngest brother got the special lowt cha. My other brother got the phnom Penh noodle soup for him and his son to share. You can see how good it was from my nephews reaction. He wasn't eating well but really enjoyed the noodles. My mee katang was good but not the best I had. I highly recommend this place if you are craving cambodian food.

Best chicken lok lak around! We always get it with the special fried rice and an egg on top. The lemon pepper sauce is also AMAZING. Always hits the spot

Check your bill. First visit, no prices next to menu items. Had to ask how much each time we had a question.
Bill arrives, we're overcharged. Owner says, maybe you ordered take out, too. No, we didn't. Reduced charge, but not to what was 'quoted'.
Check your bill. In fact, next time, I'm asking for server to write it down before food arrives.
Food was excellent, but be aware if your charges.

Waited for over 20 minutes after being seated. No one came over to help us. Servers went to take orders from people sat down after us. Very disappointed as we loved this restaurant and spent alot of money here.
