This restaurant has a nicely decorated interior and encourages patrons to learn a bit more about Cambodian/Khmer culture. I will agree with another reviewer that the booths offer stiff and uncomfortable seating. Our server was nice and attentive - always had our waters full, etc. The food did take a while to arrive after we ordered even though it wasn't very busy. At least there's a sign out front warning of slow food service.
My friends and I shared loat cha, fish amok, and the beef special with raw vegetables and fish sauce. The portions were small in my opinion for the price. We ordered the family style sharable sizes which were supposed to be larger than the single combo plates. If this were the case, I wonder how much smaller those portions are. Presentation of each dish was very nice, much more "bougie" than any other Cambodian restaurant I've been to. I like the slimy texture of the loat cha, but found the sauce on it to be a bit too salty and some noodles to be hard. The beef on it was tender and the egg added some flair. The flavors of the amok were good. However, I prefer a meatier fish like catfish for this dish. I don't think the fragility of tilapia lends itself well to amok even though it's not an uncommon fish to see. The beef on the last plate was well cooked and good with the sauce. It was a strange combination with the limited raw vegetables, but everything went well with the rice.
We had to pay for rice per person, which I am not a fan of. I think rice should be free and/or included in Asian restaurants that serve dishes eaten with rice. Reathrey has the benefit of being the only restaurant like it around. While it provides a good intro to the SEA (Southeast Asian) newbie, I don't think the value and execution of its food warrant its such high marks on yelp.
