Absolutely delicious and affordable. I will definitely be returning here for the most delicious beef skewer sandwich. Also, the lime soda was really great; similar to a limeade. It was so tasty and the service was so pleasant. Absolutely phenomenal and if you ever need a nice, affordable Cambodian meal, this is your place.

This place has become a staple for me. The food is excellent (I often go for the BBQ Pork Sandwich, but havent had an item on the menu that Ive disliked) and affordable, the staff is friendly, and there is usually enough space to sit comfortably (though I usually do takeout). In a sea of great food in Long Beach, this place stands out!

Their shrimp fried rice is honestly the best Ive ever had. Its texture is a perfect combination of chewy and meaty somehow, not overly greasy, relatively simple, but just an excellent balance of freshness, flavors and ingredients. The shrimp are snappy and not fishy at all. Its become the place I order from when Ive had a bad day and need something to turn it around. Ive ordered food from them literally dozens of times and only once was the food anything but perfect, and even then it was still pretty good. 11/10.

Affordable, fresh and delicious sandwiches and drinks! their delivery service is great. they always read special request notes, which a lot of places miss. the sandwich jalapeños are actually spicy FYI. the lemon tea is also fresh and perfectly sweetened. looking forward to trying more dishes!

Absolutely delicious! I order from here so much cause my favorite is the BBQ Pork. It’s so good I order two of them so I can eat it again later. Lol. The salad that comes with it is a wonderful paring to the main dish. Great restaurant to order from. 5 stars!!!!!

Still the best Cambodian beef skews that I have had in LA! So juicy and flavorful. The other meals are good but the skews are outstanding.

This place is such a gem . Delicious, flavorful food with great service ! Got the beef noodle soup — very light yet packed with flavor- great price for the value . Beef skewer sandwich had good meat to veggie ratio and it def packs a punch . Will be coming back to try and other things

Stopped by here after running errands for a while at lunch. Ordered Khmer crispy chicken sandwhich and some lemon pepper wings to go. Took about 20 minutes to make--which is a good sign:) So you might want to order ahead if you ordering to go.

Man.... I was really bummed that I didnt enjoy my crispy chicken sandwich. Chicken wasnt crispy and wasnt fully cooked. Threw away the meat and ate the vegetarian sandwich. Place was busy though. Passion fruit tea was good. Sorry 😞

This is some legit Cambodian street food. All these dishes were $10 or less. My sandwich was a tad on the spicy side and quite flavorful. Service was great, but there was only one table for more than two people.

We got the BBQ Pork sandwich and shrimp noodle soup, along with two drinks.The pork sandwich was the best part if the meal. The pork itself was tender, flavorful, and bountifully packed into the sandwich. The fresh bread and pickled vegetables perfectly complimented the pork.The soup broth was good, but the shrimp itself was not particularly spectacular and may have been frozen.The iced teas were overly sweetened, and it appears they just add flavoring to Arizona Iced Tea.For the relatively cheap price though, some of the minor misgivings can be forgiven.

Went to this recently opened restaurant the other day. The interior is very nice with an open kitchen layout, plentiful seating and parking available in the shared strip mall. Ordering is done at the counter and the food is then brought out to you. The menu consists of mostly noodle dishes and rice plates. I opted for the chicken plate. The flavor was decent but for $11, I expected more pieces of chicken then the large serving of rice that I received. There were approximately 5 pieces of chicken and most were a thin strip of meat over bones.

Best beef shish kabobs or scares that Ive ever had. Im saying my only complaint is if you do a phone order they dont take your name. So if someone else does a phone offer after you but shows up before you go get your order. But other than that love the place great food good service.

We ate there twice during our short trip to Long Beach and Anaheim, summer 2023. They serve all my Khmer favorite foods ❤️ My son, 7, ordered khmer beef lemongrass skewers with streamed rice twice! The owners were very friendly and kind. They added extra noodles for my order when I only asked for an extra bowl so I can share with my 5 yrs old :) Thank you for a great service! The only need for improvement is the restroom.

This is a very very great place, its brand new, the guy said about 7 days the have been open I believe. Anyway, the food was amazing, I told the guy that Im on low carb diet and dont eat bread or rice, he said he will put extra vegetables with my order instead. I got the beef rice bowl. The beef was amazing, it was cooked perfectly! An whatever they marinated it in was great. The vegetables are pickled, really tastes like Korean food, but from what I gathered its Cambodian. The soup they give you with your order is very VERY good. Its chicken broth with other flavors and diced green onions. Really tastes like very good wonton soup broth but better. The thai ice tea is home made, perfect ration of sweet, not too sweet, not overpowering the flavor. They have have sandwiches and other things on the menu, like coffee that I will take a picture when I come back there tomorrow. Definitely reccomend if you want healthy food or just very good fresh food!!!

New Khmer food spot in LB. And they serve as advertised, popular Khmer Street Food. Their menu is very small and simple. They have Cambodian Noddles, Porridge, Sandwiches and Rice dishes. I ordered the classic, Beef Noddle(rice) Soup. I must admit it was the best tasting broth Ive tasted in a while. It was very rich and flavorful. No need to add anything extra, only if you like yours a bit spicy, which I do, so I added some chili paste in oil. The beef was extra tender and they also give you some beef tendons in the soup. Great touch. The price was fair and on par with the area. The noodle and a bottle of coke, cost me $13. I cant wait to try the other dishes here. Must check out for all the foodies who enjoy authentic food.

This place is the only Cambodian restaurant I eat from. Their beef skewer is amazing, definitely recommended. We usually order ahead and pick up since there is not a lot of seating. The owner is very friendly and kind. Overall, it is a great family business to support.

I don’t eat Cambodian food often, but this place makes me wonder why I don’t lolHad the meatball noodle soup and my brother had the beef skewers—- their beef skewer is like none other. I like my beef medium. Must try!FYI - It’s a mom and pop shop, so be patient! :)

The sandwiches are the best! Can’t go wrong with the beef skewer or bbq pork sandwiches. They have great service, too. Talk to Tim!

Nice shop, just missing the authentic style noodles with the bread, or the khmer condiments werent available. The porridge is pre-made so you cant ask for them to not have a certain ingredient in it, such as no shrimp, if its in it you just either got to remove it yourself or dont order it.

Family owned, this restaurant has fresh recipes that are very satisfying. Ive had their beef sticks with rice. Tasty. Love to try their coffee. They have yummy rice porridge and crispy chicken sandwiches. The owners are friendly. The seating is minimal but we always find a seat or order takeout. The takeout packages are environmentally sound.

Came here Sunday afternoon for a later lunch and very glad we did!We got the house special Phnom Penh noodles and the BBQ pork sandwich.Noodles were warming and definitely give off what I would expect from a Khmer soup. No surprises here and something youll want on a rainy day, or cold morning, or any day you are craving noods.BBQ sandwich - my wife and I really enjoyed the bread. It was the perfect corss between not too crunch and not too soft. Meat flavor was on point. Only critique I can give is that we would of liked a few more veggies but thats a minor gripe.Service was great and pleasant, no complaints there.Well be back! Place is pretty small so if you cant eat there take it to go!

Friendly staff, comfy environment, and DELICIOUS FOOD! It was our first time visiting, my husband had the skewer plate and I had the BBQ Pork plate. We savored every bite 😋 They also have the best Thai iced tea I’ve tasted in years! Will definitely be coming back soon to try their other dishes.

This is a no nonsense low key, tasty, and good for value food spot in Long Beach. Period. Solid delicious food at the right portion size. The beef skewers are arguably the best in town, and the lemon ice tea he mixes it up and serves us fresh reminds me of the days in Siem Reap.If you venture into the LBC, I highly recommend a pit stop here to fuel up with some tasty delights. Side note that the place is small so if you are thinking of dining in, be prepared to share the communal tables. No problem for us as we love this place!

My new FAVORITE place, above all others, in LA!*UPDATE*Fun fact: look up LEMONGRASS!I actually, physically FEEL BETTER after I eat there(I have problems keeping food down), & its BECAUSE they use it in the marinade!!!! They have exceptionally healthy, particularly for being called street-food, AND is absolutely DELICIOUS food!Had some last night... going back tonight: marinated Beef Skewers(& I cant eat beef at all)platter = best $13(for 3×skewers+ with rice & pickled veggies)youll spend, ...& maybe a (chicken?) noodle soup $10, or a sandwich($7-$8)?! Their Spring Rolls are also very good, & I love the dressing, for an appetizer(its off menue, so just ask), those are about $9, for 3 big rolls!I HIGHLY recommend this spot, been coming here since theyve opened up: ALWAYS delicious, FRESH!, & the people there are SUPER nice.

One of the best authentic Cambodia food in Long Beach. I ordered the grilled beef sandwich.

The wings are perfectly made! I ordered the sweet and spicy wings and will never go back to anything else. I want 20 of those. They travel well, came out crispy on the outside, meaty on the inside, and flavorful all around. Get the wings! You wont regret it!

WOW this place I don’t even know how to start this place off. The beef skewer plate was so well seasoned and tasted so much better with their house pickle veggies. The plate was a bit too pricey but well worth it. I ordered two types of drinks also, to add onto my meal. I first ordered the honey milk tea which was also so good. I also tried the ice milk coffee (Vietnamese Style coffee) Which was really good.

The fried chicken sandwich is so good. It keeps me going back. Definitely, you should try it. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare the chicken sandwich, but its worth the wait. I call in the order in advance so when I get there the order is ready. The kids tried the beef sticks and loved it. The ice coffee is pretty good too.Friendly service and great new spot

Go here!! The food is delicious and fantastic quality. Tim makes sure all the meat is grass fed/free range - all the best quality ingredients to make the best food. The first time we went in, he told us the food was inspired by his favorite dishes his grandmother used to make, so it’s a small curated menu of only the best. Everything is great from the sauces to the pickled veggies and the drinks. Do you self a favor and try it all!PS You know how sometimes you don’t feel good after eating out? We have always felt good after eating here 😊✨

Like any good South American, I have a special place in my heart for street food. After passing by a couple times, I decided to give Naga Cafe a shot. I tried the beef skewer sandwich and iced milk coffee. The espresso was so fresh it was still warm on the bottom. As for the sandwich, it reminded me of the bahn mi spots you find around town, but perhaps a little more deluxe in terms of filling. Steak, garlic prawn, fried chicken and the classic bbq pork all look worth a try. My only complaint was that they dont have any kind of outdoor seating. I dont have a car so ordering their house Phnom Penh Noodle appears off the table for now. The gentleman working the front was very kind and attentive. Thank you!

Service and setting are simple and friendly. I ate the Phnom Penh Noodle dish, their house specialty. It was DELICIOUS and quite filling for a noodle soup. Really cannot complain for $11+tax. Ill be back!

My boyfriend and I visited for an afternoon pick me up and the gentleman who helped us out made him a custom iced coffee and I ordered a Thai Tea. Both are great but I have to say this Thai Tea is one of the best that Ive had (and Ive tried many). Even my boyfriend who doesnt usually like Thai Tea likes it a lot! Will definitely be returning for the Thai Tea specifically and will be trying some of the food as well. Love supporting local businesses, especially when finding amazing little gems like these.

Guy who works at the front who I assume is the owner is an overall nice guy. Always double checks to make sure I am not missing anything from my order. Their Phnom Penh is great, rice bowls too. Matcha Iced tea is good but not too sweet which is great.
