| - There aren't any other Cambodian restaurants in the city that I know of so I have nothing to compare this to.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted and the service was very friendly and laid back. There's no question it's family owned and run. Nice atmosphere, cafeteria like, but with murals of Cambodian scenes on the wall.
I've tried both the Phanaeng Kai (Chicken curry with basil and peanuts) and the Kako Khmer (Chicken curry with eggplant and papaya). They were both very good, large portions of well cooked rice and a rich curry sauce. The food wasn't as spicy as I was expecting, but full of lemongrass and coconut flavor.
One thing that disappointed me was how simple the menu was. All the main courses seemed to be rice dishes based off curries. Having researched Cambodian food, I know there's a lot of exotic meats and seafood used (Snails, offal, fish, crab, clams, duck, frog, turtle, fermented mudfish, etc), and I would have really liked to have seen some offered.
