| - I am writing this review as of July 2017.
This is the ONLY Cambodian restaurant in all of Arizona, says Yut, the owner's (cook) son who works here. I came here many times from only myself, 2 other eating buddies, and several times with larger groups of 10 or more (MeetUps).
Pretty much all the people I ate with agree, that the amount of food on t he entree you ordered, is rather skimpy for the price that you pay. For instance I felt sorry that one person in our large group of 10, generously passed his slice beef entree for everyone to try. After each person took a piece, his dish that he was paying for, was all gone, and he was left with the rice.
And for this small amount of food for the price, you have to wait a long time for it, so be prepared, if you eat with a group of more than 4 and they are busy, some will be done eating their order, while other people are still waiting for their order to be delivered to the table. This is because there is only one cook (mom) and person in the kitchen (daughter) to help her and son who serves the food outside the kitchen.
If you wanna not wait so long, I would go on an off hour, and not during regular lunch and dinner on the weekends.
Also if you want to show up with a group of 12 or more than 10, you either wait a very long time. If you want to make reservations for more than 10, you have to agree that they cook a pre-selected menu, each table eats the same dishes that they cook in advance "family style". Each table has to eat the same pre-selected set. That is what I was told by Yut a couple of years ago, and things have not changed in space. One time we had a group of 15 (3 tables of 5) eating pre-selected dishes as described, and after 2.5 hours, we were about to leave, and the last dish still had not come out of the kitchen. Another time we ate here with a group of 10, but not pre-selected menu in advance. We all ordered when we arrived. Other than another 4 people at a booth on this Wed night, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Still took a long time, meaning some people finished eating, and saying goodbye, while others had not gotten their food yet. So don't go here with a large group unless you are OK with "waiting" and not eating together. They have a very small kitchen and one mom to cook for you.
There USED to be a sign at the door asking you for your patience, that every dish is prepared from scratch just for you, so begs your patience in waiting time, some words to that effect.
Otherwise I rate the taste of the food 4 stars, service 2-3 stars (cos of incidents like serving a large bowl of soup without giving us bowls, running out of bowls and water glasses, and another time serving soup without spoons, and very slow service, even tho polite).
Value for dollar 2 stars.
Since it is important to ME to have value for price (which truly authentic Chinese restaurants at least are good at providing, or REAL Chinese would not eat there), and me being Chinese, the food here is not so tasty for me to be a repeat customer here again and again. But I tell you my favorite dish is the lemon grass soup with coconut milk, cos I had a soup like this when I was in Cambodia 2011. I order a bowl or rice to add more contents into the soup, cos as I said, they are not generous with ingredients. It makes a meal for me without having to order something else.
