| - Always great, my go to spot for a solo lunch. I love the House Special Spicey Hue Beef Soup, a Pho-type entree sized soup, though I don't think Cambodians actually call it Pho. Tender slices of beef, delicious noodles. Not really all that spicey. There is Sriracha on the table. I usually add a little of that and some soy sauce.
To go with that I either get the egg rolls, slim and crispy, or the Cambodian Chicken Salad - which I love. Moist shredded chicken on a bed of finely shredded cabbage and carrots in a sweet, vinegary sauce I could almost drink. And there has got to be some fish sauce in there. At $2.65 it's the best side for the money in Cleveland.
The décor is a little stark, although there are some beautiful enormous wood carvings on the walls. Lighting is always full up, typical of Asian restaurants, and the tables and chairs, well they look like they belong in an office building cafeteria.
Phnom Penh is always sparklingly clean, and the service (I think by the owners) is always very friendly, very attentive, and very fast.
Go! I'll be the guy sitting alone, staring at his phone (free Wi-Fi) and trying, somewhat unsuccessfully, to slurp noodles with chop sticks. Say hi!
