Dang! I can't believe Alex beat me to the first review of Phnom Penh!
:)
I LOVED this restaurant from its early beginnings as a tiny little Madison-Avenue hole in the wall in the Birdtown district of Lakewood. That was the early 90s, and I'm so pleased this restaurant has lasted. They moved over to their current location on Lorain Avenue in the late 90s and are still going strong!
My favorite dishes are the Vietnamese Iced Coffee (OMG, YUM!), the pad-thai (best I've ever had), and some big noodly dish with chopped up fried spring rolls and coconut milk on top. Again ... OMG! YUM! (sorry I can't remember the name.)
I miss this spot. It's a family run spot. It's cheap. And it's so good! I have great memories of fighting the rain, snow, and sleet just to get in there and get my grub on!
