Tasty Cambodian food from a long-time Oakland favorite.We ordered the smoked eggplant, Battambang noodles with tofu, and their Lemongrass pork. The noodles and eggplant were delicious. The pork was a bit dry, but had good flavor.The service was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Great gem! Really enjoyed this restaurant a lot and it was my first time there. We came for dinner and ordered a few dishes but they all tasted delicious and well seasoned. Papaya salad was yummy but I recommend adding a healthy amount of pepper flakes and it will taste so much better. The beef skewers were amazing and goes well with rice. The Cambodian noodles was good too and we would definitely come back to try other dishes.

Yes. The location isn’t the best. Yes, your server kindly reminds you not to leave your valuables in your car. Yes, the decor is a bit dated and the lighting is much to be desired. But all that being said, the food is phenomenal and the service is outstanding. Try the Battambang noodles and the Mango sticky rice. You won’t be disappointed.

A homey, unassuming eatery with beyond stellar food! They feature Cambodian dishes that I usually don’t see elsewhere. All the food was prepared wonderfully, and all the flavours were so aromatic, balanced and distinct in each dish! Some of the most tasty and memorable food I’ve had in a while. Highly highly recommend this place.

This place is seriously good. We got their omelette stuffed with beans and shrimp, the green bean special, and I personally had their banana leaf-cooked catfish.The first two were very solid. My main dish was absolutely incredible. The flavor in the fish was so strong, and went so well with the Angkor beer. The price for everything was a bit high, but the flavor definitely backed that up.This is definitely one of my new favorites!

Had very good dine in Khmer food available, including the shredded eggplant and the catfish soup. the wait staff were very helpful. remember to leave your staff out of the car when you park outside the restaurant.

A cozy, ethnic restaurant with delicious Cambodian food and superb dessert.While you might just casually pass up this inconspicuous restaurant while walking along Broadway, youd be playing yourself. The inside is cozy and inviting with all the Southeast Asian decor and friendly service.The menu offers a variety of lunch and dinner specials, from salads to grilled items to curries. We got a rice crepe with chopped chicken to start and had a seafood medley curry and beef shish kabob with brown rice. Everything was savory, cooked perfectly, and delicious. The rice crepe, stuffed with bean sprouts and topped with a garlic vinegar sauce was surprisingly fresh and was a great way to start off the meal. The shish kabob was juicy and flavorful, and the curry was out of this world. The fish was buttery and tender, and curry matched perfectly with a side of rice.The dessert here is so good, they have permanent dessert menus fixed under the glass of each table. We got the fried banana with house coconut ice cream, as well as the fresh manila mango with sticky rice. Both were satisfying without being overly sweet and a perfect way to end the meal.I would highly recommend trying this place out!

The waiters were very friendly and helpful, but the dishes were a bit expensive for how small they were, in my opinion. They were delicious, and I really liked the amok knor which was not overwhelmingly sweet and had a unique, creamy texture. The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and cozy.

Hard to find parking during dinner time, it is all street parking remember to pay, most has 2hour limits. Food and service was good. Not the best location, small and older decor. They dont have Mango sticky rice all year cause it seasonal. We had the lamb curry, chicken coconut soup and two noodles with rice. The lamb curry was the best tasting.
