    Organic Curry Tofu Sandwich (Vegan & Halal)
    Vineet S.

    I was in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Stopped by in the afternoon and ordered the tofu banh mi. It was really good, very delicious and full of flavors. It's a nice cozy spot, I'd come back when in the area.

    This is my favorite restaurant in New Jersey. I only visit NJ for work a few times a year, and if I happen to be staying within a 45 minute drive of New Brunswick, I make sure to stop in. The Lemongrass Steak Rice Box ($14.25) with a side of Cambo Fries ($6.75) are of of this world. The steak is tender and salty/sweet, and is complimented so well with the slaw, rice and lime. The fries are air-fried, but somehow crispy - topped with pickled carrots, cilantro and maybe the best condiment I've ever had - sweet chili mayo. I always make sure to get an extra side of the stuff. I can't wait until my next visit.

    This is a great fusion place in downtown New Brunswick. Since its the downtown area, there is no parking. Off street parking only and its located near the state theater. I ordered the Lemon grass chicken box with all the possible toppings that didn't cost extra. My rice box has corn and shallots with some mayo sauce. It was tasty as it was my first time trying this place. You can eat in as they do have about 6-9 tables available for dine in. I would recommend trying their Thai iced tea that comes in a bag. The service was really quick from the time we placed the order. It only took about 5-10 minutes to get our order to the table. Overall, I would come back to try other menu items when I'm in the area.

    Pleasantly surprised by the banh mi and rice bowl. Spicy Mayo complements the dishes nicely, Cambo Box is great if you're looking for Asian-fusion food in New Brunswick/Rutgers. Service was fast and straightforward. Would come back with friends to this hole in the wall spot!

    On #ThankfulThursday, I reminisce on the lunch I had and give many thanks and praise to the boys at Cambo Box for the flavor explosion I experienced yesterday. On #ThankfulThursday, I thank Yelp for providing an outlet to easily find such a wonderful place to satisfy my hunger. On #ThankfulThursday, I thank my Brother, Dennis T. pictured below rocking the Yelp mask, for finding Combo Box.i On #ThankfulThursday, I thank Cambo Box for sharing their authentic cambodian taste with a modern twist. On #ThankfulThursday, I am thankful to have tasted every mouthwatering bite from our several selections which included: The Cambo Fries topped with chili mayo, pickled carrots and cilantro, The Curry Fries topped with curry sauce, crispy shallots and green onions. The Coconut Shrimp Sandwich tossed with toasted coconuts then filled with asian pickled carrots, cucumbers, fresh cilantro and cambo chili mayo.

    So I went back and tried the lemongrass beef sandwich! It was very good but light on the beef and heavy on the carrots lol. My friend has the lemongrass chicken but it was unfortunately dry and she didn't enjoy it.

    It was my first time trying out Cambo Box and I love the food!! I got the Rice Box, which comes with rice, corn, and veggies as the base. I added on the Soy-Garlic Chicken, Chili Mayo sauce, and Crispy Shallots. The value of the meal was fantastic and the food was simple yet delicious! All ingredients were healthy and fresh and not too filling. Although there aren't too many options to choose from, the quality of the food was great. I definitely plan on returning to try the Sandwich! There is currently no indoor dining. They are only doing take out orders. Food was ready for pick up in 15-20

    This place was super cute and the self order station was great! Both my husband and I got customized rice boxes. The service was quick and the food was delicious! If I could give more than five stars, I would.

    Order at the counter - the counter next to this is another separate restaurant

    Fresh & fast Cambodian food! Of the limited fast food options, the extra protein Coconut Shrimp Rice Box is my favorite. The extra shrimp really helps to round out a meal with rice and corn sides topped with crispy shallots & pickled veggies. The shrimp may medium sized or less but they are crisp with a great coconut dominant seasoning. If you don't like the pickled veggies, you can have them excluded upon request like I did. There is a line wedge included in case you need a sprinkle of acidic flavor on your shrimp. The Lemongrass Chicken in either the hoagie or box is very tender with a slight hint sweetness. The hoagie version is a bit overstuffed with carrots as you can see from one of my pictures. On a subsequent visit, my request to lessen the amount of pickled carrots was honored which made a big difference in my satisfaction. These hoagies can be made hot as well. Parking in the area is generally a pain as sometimes metered parking is hard to find. Driving in the neighborhood during rush hour on a weekday afternoon is tortuous as well. Everything is made to order so there is a wait for your food but it is worth it. If you are in the area, I'd definitely drop for some quick fresh eats.

    Their food is so good! So filling, savory and satisfying, you wont go wrong. You can personalize your meal to your liking. Its a small casual place and there is plenty of seating inside. I had the soy garlic chicken with fried rice and vegetables. Service is quick! I would come back here again and try other things on their menu.

    This place is located near rutgers. Its combined with another restaurant called poke nagomi. I went with friends and its our first time. They have no parking lot so we parked on the metered street parking. We all got rice box instead of sandwich. I ordered the dragonfruit lemonade, cambo fries, and steak rice box. I got additional protein which was soy garlic chicken and it was additional $3.50 which is a bit pricey for extra protein in my opinion. They forgot to add it to my food when it was ready and the employee didnt make a fuss and ask for any proof on receipt he just added some on my plate. Its small inside. The food presentation was excellent. I got txt notification how long the wait for the food to be ready and when it was ready. It was not packed on a friday night. The food was great!

    Wanted to grab lunch while in the area so got this. I've never tried Cambodian food so this was a nice change of things. I got the shrimp bowl. Everything was nice and flavorful

    I've been wanting to try The Baked Bear for a while, and finally had the chance to last night! I…read moreordered a chocolate chip cookie and a scoop of their old fashioned vanilla ice cream. The cookie itself is thin and smaller than I'd like, but I understand that's probably because they also use them for the ice cookie sandwiches. The chocolate chips in the chocolate chip cookie are sweeter, I'm assuming milk chocolate, but I liked the texture of the cookie. It was what I'd call a "boneless cookie". I normally like soft cookies with a slight crust around the edges, and these didn't have that. But I still liked the cookie! It's soft and chewy, still soft the next day. After buying the cookie, I tried a sample of the old fashioned vanilla ice cream, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The consistency was smooth and creamy and the vanilla flavor was really good. Normally I don't care for old fashioned vanilla because I prefer vanilla bean, but most places don't offer vanilla bean so I end up settling for French vanilla or old fashioned vanilla instead. This time though, it didn't feel like I was settling. I ended up ordering a small cup of the ice cream and the serving size was pretty generous. They also give you a physical punch card for rewards each visit, and you can enter your phone number at the counter, I'm not sure if you can also earn points through your phone number. It's bright and airy in there, even walking in after 10pm. The two ladies helping us were both very nice, one of them offered to give us a sample of ice cream when she heard us talking about trying it. I'll definitely be back, whether it's for the chocolate chip cookie or the vanilla ice cream!

While in my recent pursuit of finding interesting eateries in NB area, stumbled upon this small beauty of a cookie place. They have quite a variety of cookies and cater a combo of cookies and ice cream sandwiches that are not too costly. The gentleman at the counter was as warm as the cookies he served and we got ourselves a strawberry cheesecake cookie and couple of mixed ice creams. Roadside Parking might be little tight in the evening hours on week days. Also to note this is not a usual 9 AM opening shop. They open only at 3 PM and open until midnight on all days of the week.

I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping. That would help cut through the grease and make the burger feel a little lighter. The restaurant is very clean and bright, I liked the atmosphere while I was in there and the staff were nice!

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection! So even at 30 minutes from my house and horrific parking, I would definitely come back. Grades: Double Patty: A++
