I was so looking forward to Angkor wat when I read they were opening up. Authentic Cambodian and Thai cuisine but alas I can't say that it is.
I stopped in for lunch and was geeked by a staff who may be the owner's daughter. I like family owned restaurant as they usually do a good job. I was shown a menu and when I couldn't find the lunch menu, I asked if they had one. Yes they do. Why didn't they show it to me, I have no idea.
Lunch was ok. I had their pad Thai to see what it is like. She asked me how spicy and I said mild. Usually I don't get that question for pad Thai, oh well. A bowl of soup cane first and it was fragrant. I can't pin point the smell but taste alright. I thought I was getting a spring roll too but that's not the case. You see, the normal lunch cones with a spring roll or soup but I wasn't asked. There's another type of lunch option called the deluxe that came with soup and spring roll. I had to ask for the menu again to confirm that. I was told the normal lunch menu cones with soup only. They are changing their lunch menu and maybe that's why I wasn't given a lunch menu prior.
The pad Thai was not as authentic. I thought authentic pad Thai had peanuts in it but this one doesn't. The color was pale and the chili sauce is quite obvious. In fact I thought the chilli sauce used reminded me of the typical chili oil that a chinese restaurant would use.
I also overheard mandarin spoken between a lady and someone in the kitchen leading me to believe that the food is more chinese than Cambodian.
Anyway, I might go back to try other dishes once they settle down but for the near future, I would pass on.
