If you're craving authentic Cambodian food, this place never disappoints!…read more My husband ordered their rice porridge, while I got my usual favorite--the Mo's dry noodles and their bread meat. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and just as satisfying as always. I've been coming back because the food is consistently good, and it never disappoints me. The people are always nice and friendly. The only setback is the parking. It can be really difficult to find a spot, so if you're planning to go, I recommend coming early or just take an Uber and save yourself the parking headache. Definitely worth the trip for the food!

I can go on about this place but what's the point, they know their food is amazing. I love me some…read moreThai and finding places that's worth it is hard. There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.

We got this order to go, so I'm not certain how their service is, but I'm glad we finally tried…read moreCharm Siam! First off, their portions are VERY generous! We ended up having left overs for days. We tried the basil eggplant with chicken, the fried pork belly, the drunken noodles with bbq pork (the bbq pork was SO good), tom kha soup with shrimp, and tom yum fried rice with shrimp. The fried rice was next level good. And the tom kha soup was excellent as well. I didn't love the drunken noodles themselves but the bbq pork on the dish was delicious. The fried pork belly was a little too tough to eat but the sauces it came with were both great. And the basil eggplant was solid. Would definitely come back to try some dishes in person like the Khao soi!

We have full kitchens in all the rooms where we're staying along with plates and all the set ups. The rooms even have dishwashers! So, I found this S T Noodle Bar near by and decided to give it a try. I kinda know what there guys like to eat, so I just ordered a bunch of food. The only request from anybody was for Pad Thai, the most common dish at all Thai restaurants. I GPS my way over and order the food. I was Khao Soy on the menu and I don't see that at too many Thai places that I've been to, so I got an order of that with chicken. Of course, an order of Pad Thai, 2 orders since I have 5 hungry people to feed. Also, I ordered the Thai coconut soup, I think it's called Tom Kha with chicken. One more noodles dish was the Drunken Noodles, it's kinda like Chinese Chow Fun, but has a more spicy flavor and basil in it. The food was all pack and bagged for me to take back to the hotel. We used my room since I have a bigger room. We had plates and set ups for all five of us and we re-plated the food on the serving plates that came with the room. All the food was really tasty and everybody was happy not to have to leave the hotel. I heard compliments on the Pad Thai and the Coconut soup. It was a good idea just to do take out and eat at the hotel here.

Sounds like simple common dishes, but I have to brag about how delicious their food is...so far! And portions are appreciated. I've also had their shrimp fried rice which was quite delicious. Tried their beef skewers and they were a bit overpowering for my taste, but they were quite flavorful. Interior design/decor is nothing to brag about, but it's clean. My orders have been to go! Customer service is always excellent! Polite and warm service which makes the ordering process flawless. My goal is to order their Oxtail Noodle Soup and Beef Rib Noodle Soup. Huge recommendation by patrons! This Cambodian gem knows how to treat and cook for their customers. My new go to! Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time. For the most part there is parking available during the afternoon. Enjoy! *Update! On today's visit...I was informed that you can reserve the restaurant for big dinner parties upon request. Nicest people at this restaurant!:)

The place is just okay. The food lacked flavor and…read moreingredients. The portions are small. & it was hot as hell in there! No AC or fans on. I ordered the beef and meatball noodle soup. Very appealing to the eyes, the taste not so much. One meat ball cut in half & 5 pieces of sliced beef. Very underwhelming. The bowl was on the pricer side at $15.99 . Just meh. The Chicken porridge had good flavor they just used a cheap cut of drumsticks for the protein. Which was really chewy. $13.99 Last but not least was the salt and pepper squid. Do not order. The amount you receive for the price of $13.99 is not with worth it. Just a few measly strips of squid. You'll be left hungry afterwards . I usually love giving mom and pop shops my business if its worth it. All in all the food was lacking. I'd skip this place. 3 stars for the good service .

My go-to orders are either the Cornish hen with curry rice or the chicken satay skewers. If you get the Cornish hen, I definitely recommend the curry rice, and with the chicken satay, try the coconut rice -- it's so good. The flavors are rich, savory, and honestly hard to describe until you try them. The portions are pretty generous for the price, and the service has always been friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a cozy, casual atmosphere with plenty of seating, and parking was easy when I went. It's also conveniently located right by the university. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving good Indonesian food. I'll keep coming back!

We ordered the large prata which came with 2 pieces of prata and a side of curry. The small sized appetizer comes with only 1 piece of prata. The prata itself was good - very buttery and paired perfect with the side of curry (which tasted very authentic). I enjoyed my char kueh teow which had a ton of wok hey, not too oily and had decent portions. The indomie however, was a little disappointing. It was made with home made noodles and unfortunately there wasnt enough sauce/ flavor. I'd probably skip this next time. Service is decent. Pay with cash as theres a 4% charge for both credit/ debit cards!

Service was kind and quick throughout lunch, and it definitely feels like a local Cambodian family run business. Interior is clean, and they have a parking lot although I can see it getting filled up. This is my first time trying Cambodian cuisine, and definitely left wanting more in the future! Rice is not free with their entree/shared items. I wish it were included with shared meat/vegetable items. Beef Lok Lak ($20, 9/10) - good portion size! Shared between four guys, and it felt like enough. - meet itself is super flavorful, chopped into small chunks, and serves a fantastic balance of savory yet sweet - served with sides of tomato, cucumber, lettuce, lemon, dipping salt and pepper Student Noodle ($15, 8/10) - delicious! This almost felt like a mix of Vietnamese Noodles + Thai Pad Thai. the Pad Thai comes from the savory/sweet flavor profile along with bean sprouts and green onions. They also provide a Syed sauce that is very similar to the Vietnamese, pungent flavor, dipping sauce for their eggrolls. - super great dish, Fantastic flavors Overall, really enjoyed the spot! Felt that the prices and portion sizes were reasonable, and a great introductory to Cambodian cuisine (kinda like Viet + Thai mix). Wish that rice were included with some of the entrée options. Parking can be a hit or miss, but service was on point.

We also had the beef anchovy, which was perfectly grilled beef with a great dipping sauce. We also met a Cambodian couple there who let us try some of their dishes, which made it clear this place is not only delicious but also authentic. There are a lot of options I'd like to come back and try next time.

I ordered the Thai boat noodles , and the broth was really good and flavorful. The meat was also pretty tender.

Best Thai food I have EVER eaten bar none! 100% worth all…read morethe hype if you live up to it and they do. Great service and great portions which surprised me as usually the quality places give you small portions especially when they are rated by Michelin Stars. But they live up to them and they have two. The place filled up in 15 minutes and we were there as soon as they opened. They don't take reservations so you gotta wait in line if you don't get get there at the drop. The place is bright and cheery and the only draw back was the MOST uncomfortable steel chairs that dig into your hips and back, if you are more than a size 2. No joke. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat (especially the men folk) because you can't sit/slide back into the chair and that's a big no no in dining. What were they thinking? Who tried these chairs out before buying them, a tweensy elfin person? And I saw several ppl squirming in their chairs like I was so it wasn't just my big butt either. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But back to the food...my goodness the flavors were so spot on and well sauced everything...deep umami and layered depth of flavor because, this chef knows what they are doing back there. WOW! I hope you try this spot. It's worth the drive no matter where you are coming in from. I'm home now and I'm still thinking about what to try next time. We had so much food to take home too. Can't wait to break into the mango sticky rice later. Oh always a plus, the staff is super friendly and watchful. We wanted for nothing and they were so attentive. I really appreciate that. So bottom line, get there, get there early and bring a seat cushion. You are going to LOVE this food!!!

Chiang Rai is featured in the Michelin Guide and for good reason. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Thai food and this place is definitely at the top of my list. There's usually a long wait but we came early for dinner yesterday and got seated almost immediately. FYI, they won't seat you until your entire party is present. Also, street parking only so give yourself a little extra time to find a spot. Here's what we ordered: Fresh Oyster Thai Street Style- This is a MUST for me every time we come. The chili lime sauce topped with fried shallots is what makes this soooo delicious! If you're an oyster fan, definitely order this. 10/10. Fried Enoki Mushrooms- First time ordering these and we loved them! Perfectly fried with just the right amount of crunch. Definitely ordering these again. Khao Soi w/ Shrimp Tempura- Guys. Trust me when I say they make the BEST khao soi here! We've tried it with different proteins before, including soft shell crab and tofu. This was our first time getting it with shrimp tempura and it was equally delicious! Deep Fried Branzino- I've been wanting to order the whole fish here and we finally did. Perfectly fried and the apple dipping sauce was such a good match. Delicious dish! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a fan of Thai food. There's a reason we keep coming back!
