Attended a birthday party here. They rented the private dining area around the side/back of the…read morerestaurant. The space was nice. Set up like a cooking show room. There were 2 tables separated which was a bit awkward. Not sure if that was a choice or how it's just always set up. I believe the room required a $1000 min spend (or maybe more) but to my surprise the menu was pre planned (personal nightmare for me as I don't eat pork/beef/seafood - most of the menu). I looked at the menu days before and there weren't many things I could eat... but I was excited to see they had basil wings. We had welcome drinks which were good and were able to order drinks from the cocktail menu. The food started coming out but 2/4 ppl at our table didn't eat beef/pork and again we didn't realize there was a 2nd special menu for another person at the other table so that table got foods different from ours and we had to order additional chicken and rice. Pretty much wasted 1/2 of the dishes of food on our table. The basil wings were good but the rice wasn't good - very bland. The bill came to almost $3k and split 16 ways (after the event) $180 for 5 wings, bland rice & 2 cocktails definitely left a bad taste for me. I get this was the terms of attending the event and may be more so on the host not communicating how it works prior but for $3k definitely could have been better. After we ate we were told they have a speaker hook-up for music, people were already leaving. We did have a great time but definitely should have had music going upon arrival. Super tiny parking lot but plenty of street parking. They have a really cute patio and the main restaurant is cute!

If you're looking to try a dish that is uniquely Khmer, this soup is one of them. The soup has flavors from roasted rice and kreung, a fragrant blend of lemongrass, makrut lime leaves, garlic, galangal, tumeric. Cheng Heng's version had green beans, round green eggplants, spinach, young papaya, and kabocha squash, plus a protein choice (I chose chicken). The somlaw was hearty, and very filling. The portion was more than enough to share. I can imagine myself ordering this on a cold winter evening. Their menu was full of amazing Cambodian dishes, but unfortunately, I was one, otherwise I would have ordered other items like the Somlaw Machu Kreung, and Somlaw Machu Angkor as well. I would love to return but with company, so I can taste more of their dishes.

This was my first time trying Cambodian food - everything here was so good and affordable!…read more Spring rolls were only $4.95 and really good - they had chicken, shrimp, and a variety of herbs inside. Chive cakes had a nice chewy texture inside and crispy outside from being fried. The noodle soup bowls here are a great portion size... they range from regular-L-XL. Regular was a good size for my friend and I, especially when combined with our apps. The roasted chicken was tender and had really good flavor and color. Both noodle soup broths are on the sweeter side. Overall would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to try Cambodian food for the price, quality, and portion size.

Super easy to order, just order at the counter, the staff will give you a buzzer device, and you can pick up your order at the pick-up counter once the buzzer goes off. Be sure to grab seats early since the food court gets pretty crowded! And since it's a food court, it does get pretty loud (which is a given). Boat Noodles were very flavorful, with each bite exploding with spice, warmth, and herbs. I love to put chili oil to give the broth more of a kick, but even without any chili oil, the dish is already spicy as is.

The prices are comparable to other Chinese cuisine in the area. All of our food was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp and the fried rice. Most places will allow you to choose white or fried rice with entrees and Angkor says "white rice only", but I am glad I decided to order fried rice anyway. It was colorful, rich, flavorful- all that fried rice should be. My only critique was for the noodles. They gelled together into 1 big lump. Maybe they were put into the container piping hot? The flavors were still there but the noodles forming 1 inseparable mass made them challenging to eat. Overall we were highly satisfied with our food and will order takeout from them again.
