Generous Portions and Tasty Dishes
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. The beef plate was tender and delicious. I also enjoyed the stir fried noodles, which were good.
The meal comes with a complimentary beef soup, which is a nice touch and good, so I'd advise against ordering an additional soup. The portions are big, so it's a good idea to order one less dish than the number of people dining.

Delicious Broth, Tender Beef, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The broth was incredibly delicious, and they certainly did not skimp on the tender beef in it. The portion size was generous.
The owners were very nice, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. I loved it so much that I returned the next day for lunch. The food quality is a definite 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was also great at a 4 out of 5.

Must-Try Cambodian Noodles!
This is one of the very few Cambodian restaurants in San Diego. The Phnom Penh noodles are a staple and a must-get. The atmosphere was great, rated 5/5, and the service was equally excellent, also rated 5/5.
We experienced no wait time and enjoyed a quiet dining environment, making it easy to talk. The food quality was outstanding, earning a perfect 5/5.

Mixed Feelings on Phnom Penh Noodles
I am skeptical about giving this review. Their Phnom Penh noodles were a bit strange, featuring chicken, chả lụa, and bò viên 🤐. The mì xào giòn was good, but the shrimps weren’t fresh.
It's also on the expensive side at $20 for the seafood mix.

Delicious Noodles and Fried Rice!
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food. I absolutely loved the veggie noodle soup with thin rice noodles. My friend also enjoyed their beef dish, and my husband really liked his house fried rice, noting its generous portion size.
The egg rolls were just okay; I'd probably skip them next time. Overall, the food quality was excellent.

Refused Service - Horrible Experience
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. Upon walking in, they refused to take my order or seat me. Despite there being only two diners present, the staff had to ask the cook if he was willing to prepare my food.
He refused, stating he was too busy. They also mentioned they don't serve certain kinds of food. It was a truly horrible place.

Delicious Noodles and Calamari
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food. I ordered the fried calamari and it was a perfect 10/10, especially with the lime on top. I also tried the wonton soup, which was very light but felt like it was missing something.
However, the shrimp stirfry noodles (flat egg noodles) were a standout – sweet, savory, and full of flavor. The recommended dish was Egg Noodles.

Perfection in Every Bite!
My experience at this no-frills restaurant was exceptional! The food was cooked to perfection, especially the crispy egg noodle and Mongolian beef dishes. Portions were incredibly generous, with one dish easily feeding two.
The complimentary soup was so delicious that the meat just fell off the bone. The seasoning was spot-on – not too salty, with tender beef, crispy gailan, flavorful tofu, and perfectly crisp noodles that didn't taste like old oil. I was also highly impressed by the chef's knife skills; all the vegetables, including the jalapeños, were sliced to a perfect, even thickness.
The restaurant felt clean, and every bite was truly indulging. We will definitely be going back again and again!
