“ If you're reading this, you are in the mood for Khmer food so just go here. Easy decision. This place is just Amazing! I have driven from NYC just for this place. I go every time I'm in Philadelphia. The food is as delicious and authentic as it gets. If you miss Cambodia, this place will take you home. Staff is the greatest. They are the nicest people and will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. ”
“ Great restaurant for some Cambodian food! I came here with my family for Father's Day and we very much enjoyed our meal. I really wanted to order the Bone Soup but they were all sold out since it was so popular! You cannot go wrong with anything that you order from here. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The inside was clean and decently sized for a restaurant in South Philly. I would recommend going here if you're ever in South Philly and want some authentic Cambodian food! Remember to always support your locals and small businesses!!!! ”
“ We had a large party of about 7 people and it was AMAZING! We ordered family style and got tons of appetizers and entrees to share. All perfectly plated and came out steaming hot in courses. The Khmer dishes always taste best with friends! LOVE that they still have the giant lazy susan spinners on the tables. The restarant is small with some decor but is not over the top. There is plenty of room between tables so you can enjoy conversation without worrying too much about bothering your neighbors with chatter. Staff are friendly and checked on us the perfect amount of times. Now, the food is THE BEST PART! I especially loved the papaya salad with not just fermented fish/shellfish but you even got little pieces of whole crab shell to suck and chew on! We got several yummy nuggets of crab legs to enjoy. The fried quails were crispy and seasoned well with tons of meat on them. Really loved the soup (we asked for it extra sour and they delivered)! The beef dishes were super juicy and their richness contrasted with the fresh, crisp vegetable perfectly. I am excited to go here again! I may try take out in the future cause I keep dreaming of the appetizers and fun time we had. ”
“ I usually order to go when I want my authentic Khmer food fix. My take out is usually ready within 30 minutes. The quality is great and the flavors are always consistent. It's a small business establishment but they're usually pretty professional and friendly. ”
“ I think I Heart Cambodia has some solid food! I got the Rice Noodle Soup with Pork, which hit the spot for me. I think I particularly enjoyed it because I was pretty hungry and was craving something soupy. I think objectively it's pretty decent, though nothing phenomenal. ”
