50-50 experience on this one. Been wanting to try Angkor based on the Yelp reviews, so we finally decided to give it a try on a slow Saturday night.
Walking in, there was only one other party present at 7pm (a little concerning). This place screams American Chinese restaurant with a little extra polished charm.
The staff were great. We were greeted an sat immediately (then again, almost noone else was there), and we were offered some suggestions on what to order.
Decided to start with the spring rolls. The rice paper could have been prepped a little better (a bit chewy), but overall, they were pleasing (crisp, fresh and minty). We decided to go with the Cambodian Short Ribs (C16) and they quickly came out. Slowly stewed short ribs with pineapple, mushrooms, tomatoes and a rich earthy sauce on steamed rice. Definitely stick to your ribs comfort food that reminded me a lot of a cross between Korean short ribs and curry.
My lack of decision ultimately comes from my lack of confidence in the menu as a whole. While our entree was good, the spring rolls left a decent amount to be desired. Not sure we'd proactively make the hike out to Carnegie again for this place unless we were already in the area (though then again, the one other table drove the entire way from Greensburg to eat there... so that's a promising sign).
