My favorite Cambodian restaurant located in the heart of Cambodia town. Atmosphere is great and food is always delicious.

I'm going to go ahead and update my review since the last time I reviewed was seven years, and eaten here many times since then. When I visit my family in Long Beach, we tend to eat from here at least once. They have their favorites that they always order. Sometimes I try new things, and some aren't as great as the usual things we order. The lobster is delicious. We always enjoy the seafood fried rice (not the one with the XO sauce; that was kind of bland and boring), the intestines, the salt and pepper shrimp, the clams, and there are plenty of others. Service may be slow at times, but we do order take-out most of the time. read more

I've been here a few times with my significant other and we love it. The basil chicken is delicious as is the Tom yum soup. The prices are very reasonable as well and the portion sizes are generous. The decor is a little dated but the food more than makes up for it. read more

Had lunch with my parents today. Parking is tight, but we found a spot in the back during the lunch hour rush. If you are meeting up as a group, park in the front, which can easily squeeze two vehicles, if parked tandem. My fam usually orders family-style dining off their pre-fixe menu; however, my dad was feeling like fish congee... I also got the same. FISH CONGEE came in a large bowl. Essentially, it's a rice porridge in broth garnished with fried garlic and spring onions. Simple dish with a flavorful broth. The fish were filets of white meat that were cooked in the broth. I couldn't even tell you the type of fish, but it differs from Phnom Penh Noodle Shack in that the shack's fish congee has fish flakes. Someone literally flakes chunks of flesh off a whole cooked fish. Here, the flesh is cooked in soup already filleted. Makes a big difference. Kinda like having a salad versus a chopped salad. With Banh Canh Noodles... is how I like my fish congee. I asked for it mixed in my rice porridge. My dad ordered first, and I copied. He asked for his dish to be served with banh canh only. What is banh canh? Fresh, soft flat rice noodles. Soooooooo delicious piping hot in broth. Just a little variation to your standard size rice noodles. Think fresh pappardelle, but made with rice flour. BEEF MEATBALL NOODLES is what my mom ordered. It came in their standard broth, which my mom said was on the bland side. She asked for soy sauce to add flavor. She received eight beef balls, so she shared some with me. When I was a child, this was the only noodle dish I would order. Some of my favorite dishes served at Hak Heang are the Mee Ketang (Cambodian-style chow fun), Trey Promah (Boeseman croaker, steamed in chopped pork and eggs), and their beef sticks served with pickled salad. Their beef sticks are a hearty size and not skimpy on flavor. read more

I can't get enough of this place! Food and service are excellent. Staff is very friendly. Too bad it's far from where I live. However whenever I'm around the area, I always make sure I stop by for some good food even I'm full. No fucking lie that's how good this place is... read more

I haven't dined here in decades. But when you're craving moms Cambodian cooking, options are limited. Service was average, nothing above and beyond. You sit down, order, eat and leave. Depending on the time of day or night this will fluctuate on review. This restaurant becomes more lively in the evening and on weekends due to weddings and other services happening. On a weekday afternoon, not so much. Food was average, my beef stick dish I love so much was fatty and unfortunately did not hit the spot but I am glad my mom liked her noodle soup and my baby girl enjoyed a bit of her stir fried noodles. I wish this was a 5 star review, maybe next time! read more

How to lose what could have been a regular customer. If I could, I will give them soooo many negative stars, but I can't. What could have been an amazing family dinner - potentially an annual thing - turned out to a dispute about the bill when Jimmy decided to increase the price of our meal by double WITHOUT my knowledge. I will say, I was naive and thought a man would keep his word, especially when it was written down on the order he took for me. My fault for not taking pictures. Let me tell you how he tricked me. On Saturday, April 1st I went to speak to him about reserving 2 tables with a meal that is typically served at a wedding. I asked to book it on Thursday (today). I thought it wouldn't be as expensive as a wedding as I require no special set up and there's no live music. He wrote down everything we wanted, from the first course to the final course which is dessert. All together comes out to 8 courses. He quoted us for $450 a table, perfect. It's all written down and agreed upon. So this will come out to $900 for two tables. He told me it's cash only because he doesn't want to worry about taxing me...which now I realize is all BS. So back to tonight, we enjoyed our meal - no live music, no beautiful draperies, no 10 servers, just a usual very not-so-busy Thursday. When I go up to pay for dinner he told me $1800! Now hold on...this is not what we agreed upon. He kept arguing with me and I asked him to show me the paper which we agreed on, TELL ME WHY THIS MAN SCRATCHED THE OLD AMOUNT AND REPLACED IT WITH THE NEW AMOUNT??? Yup! He decided to double up the price WITHOUT TELLING ME. He has my number on the order that we agreed on. A simple call would've sent me to a different restaurant. Oh but he did not want to lose business, greedy goon. He tried to justify the change because just the dessert alone is $40...but let's divide $900 by 8, so how did it end up being $112.50 a dish? Ok the lobster I get...but the asparagus soup can be no more than $30 maybe $40 dollars? The fish no more than $40 maybe $50 dollars? I told him why would this be $900 and the Cambodian New Year price be $700? They told me because it was a special! SPECIAL my @$$! Like really? I thought you had to charge that much to cover all the waiters, cooks and live musicians...so how in the world am I supposed to pay more without all the gimmick? He ends it by saying, let's just stop arguing and I'll charge you the same amount as New Year. LIKE OMFG, THANK YOU SO MUCH! (total sarcasm) Like really? Such a scam! And yes, I told him he was such a messed up person for lying the way he did and rewriting the price without my knowledge. I paid and left. That's the last time I will ever set foot in this place. read more

Food is good and I like the hot tea. I will not come back because after being seated where I was told, the first waitress came up to the table aggressively; only acknowledging my friend. She tried skipping my drink order and gave me a really hard time when I asked for hot tea. Super weird and she was getting only mad at me when I've never seen this lady before. After ordering she just looked at me with a face of disgust for like five seconds (????). So uncalled for. We thankfully got another waitress who brought our food. Not worth it considering unprovoked rudeness. FINAL NOTE: mid meal there was a dj setting up and proceeds to BLAST rap music to the point it was painful. Irritating. Unfortunate because some staff has etiquette. read more

I used to love this place but honestly the past 2x we came here everything was disappointing. The fried intestines were not crispy, food came out cold, the beef sticks were so dry, portion size went down and price is more expensive. Overall wont come back unfortunately... Literally half of the plate is now pickled cabbage....sad read more

The food here is amazing!! I lived in Southeast Asia and this place really reminds me of the flavors I tasted over there. Their menu had a picture for every dish, and that helps a lot!!!!! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I've been here three times and I can't wait to go again. read more

Here for a friends wedding reception on Saturday night . Stage for live band and a dance floor. Beautiful table decorations plenty of spaces for huge gatherings. Each table seated 10 people , that night this facility held 450 people. I didn't taste the taro dessert. ( couldn't tell ya if I recommended or not) Fried quail with lime / salt/ pepper sauce was a no for me and the rest of my table mates. We all agreed the quail were so dry and hard to chew. Cold platter salads, fresh and delicious with sour pickled vegetables, tomato, cucumbers and mustard greens and also some Vietnamese ham / head cheese and shrimps. Fried lobster were overly cooked and salty for me and a few of my table mates. Soup with crab meat and yang chow fried rice were delicious. Sweet and sour Vietnamese soup with shrimp tastes great but after a few more sips it's started to be too sweet for us all. All our favorite were the grilled steak with anchovies sauce. The steak were cooked medium and had a Smokey grilled flavor. The anchovies sauce helps balances out the steak.. Overall the restaurant service were great , the waiters were attentive refilling ice and water considering there were 450 people at this wedding. read more

It's like being in Cambodia with the music playing a bit too loud in the background and the decor from the 80s. The prices are reasonable and the service fast. A small parking lot is available next to the restaurant with some street parking out front. read more

Had such a great experience with our family here. We came from out of town and wanted to support the local Cambodian restaurants in the area. I was expecting only authentic Cambodian food but they had other yummy dishes like crab and lobster. We ordered a ton of dishes and loved every single one. If we are in the area again we would definitely come back and check it out on a night they have a live band. Service was also great, they came to check up on us often and shared their recommendations. Great place to bring the family! read more

I absolutely love this place. Every time I'm I visit my family in Long Beach I craved all the traditional Khmer dishes and this place has it all.

If you never have Cambodian foods this is definitely the place to try. read more

One of my favorite Cambodian restaurants! The food was just to die for! I love going here with my brothers. Shout out to one of the workers Bryan Sam for being so friendly and charismatic. I would highly recommend this spot! read more

Love this place for so many reasons. The nostalgia, the authentic khmer dishes, and great customer service. When I was a child, my family would often come up from San Diego to Long Beach and this is the 1 restaurant we would come to every trip. There are little to no Cambodian restaurants or markets in San Diego unfortunately. I love to support my people and culture whenever we are up here. Favorite dishes are the somlaw machu kreung, prahok ktiss, and fried pompano. I love everything I've tried actually. Staff is attentive and if you don't get parking in the front, there's the back parking lot and street parking as well. I'm ready for my next trip back! read more

Hak Heang Restaurant - Cambodian Near Me - Long Beach, California

I would give a zero but unfortunately you have to rate it at 1 star. The worst service possible not only that they served us old roasted duck that was hard and dried then when we ask if this roasted duck, she say we didn't have roasted duck then proceeded to say we didn't ask. Like what really the menu says roasted duck we had roasted duck enough in our lifetime to know we we're getting fooled or at least they tried. Ask for the bill and we ended up paying at the register just an unpleasant feeling and vibe while trying to enjoy your only day off with love ones. read more

I felt completely safe eating here for breakfast this morning. They had an outdoor patio to dine at and tables were far apart from each other but there were lots of flies and I had to wave my hand every second to sho the flies but it wasn't there fault. Parking can be tough, we got the last spot at the parking lot. I ordered the dry Phnom Penh noodles, Chinese breadstick, and a Thai tea. Their Phnom Penh noodles was really good, their birth was outstanding but the noodles were okay, it wasn't as tasty as Phnom Penh noodle shack but if there's a long wait there I'd rather come here. read more

Messed up our order but we ate the food and didn't tell them to send it back because we didn't want to cause a scene on Mother's Day. It wasn't a big deal. When we ordered they said the nice dish would take 15 minutes longer. We said no problem except they forgot to make it. We went to look at the order log and it was on the receipt but they said they will make it now, 20 mins later, after the other 3 people in our party already ate. Ordered food to go and they forgot to place it in as well. I told them to remove the to go order since they didn't have it ready either. The lady showed me the receipt screen where she deleted the rice order but not the Togo order. I told her I wanted to see the orders and she said no it's right. I got charged. When you go pay be very careful and ask for an itemized receipt. I asked for one and the lady wouldn't give me one. I called my credit card company to dispute the charge. It was probably no more than $8 but that's not the point. Looking at the reviews they do this often. As a business they shouldn't con someone. 2 stars not one for childhood nostalgia and the music my mom likes. Food is meh. read more

Having growing up in Long Beach, this place was a staples for everyone. A Cambodian restaurant where everyone get together during the weekend for brunch. And in the evening, there would always be some kind of reception. Either it be for a party or wedding. It's your quintessential asian restaurant. As for this visit, Sunday brunch with the family. We did have quite a big group attending. My sister called the restaurant that morning asking if reservations were needed for a large group. It does busy there but there's always tables available. They told us that they will reserve two tables for us. When we arrived, you kind of just let yourself in and wait to be seen. Staff was kind of all over the place. Someone, a guy finally greeted us after juust standing there trying to get someone's attention. Told him that we called and two tables were saved for us. Honestly, he didn't know what we were talking about. After a couple minutes, he saId that he'll put up at the two tables in the front. Ok, that's fine. But then it kind of went south from there. I guess on the weekend they havE live performances. So throughout the whole meal, give or take a song break here and there. It was a bit much, loud. We basically had to scream to one another just to communicate. It was nice that they have the performers, but why have us seated literally right in the front when there were plenty of tables available throughout the restaurant. We ordered one of the family style meal. They offered a lot of their classic dishes. The hot and sour seafood soup, sautéed crab, whole fish, a stir fry, clams and beef sticks. We also ordered extra beef stick and some fried rice and noodle dish. The dishess comes out in no particular order. Whatever is readY first. White rice was brought out as well. Toward the end of the meal, thE noodle dishes never came. We asked the waitress and she seemed stunned. As if they had bright it already. Plus, we ordered that for the kids. So that was a let down. When the bill finally came, I don't know if prices were raised for some of the dishes but they seemed pretty high. Also, you would think that family style meal, the white rice was included. We were charge for 2 pot of the rice at 7.00 a bowl. Just assume that it was included. Overall, I do like the restaurant. Food is good, service can be slow depending on when you visit. Parking can be a hassle. read more

Literally one of my favorite Cambodian restaurants. The food here is absolutely delicious when you're looking for authentic Cambodian food. I have been coming here for over 15 years of my life and it is still just as appetizing as ever. First off, If you're looking for fast and efficient service. You're not going to find it here. lol it is what it is and you don't come here for the service but the food. If you come on a weekend, you'll most likely run into a wedding celebration or live music/band playing. The best thing about this place, is if you skip to the back of the menu they have family sized options of food. Normally consisting of a veggie plate, meat plate, and soup. Along with some other things. The bigger the options, the more the price. However, their prices are insanely reasonable. If you're not looking for a family style feast, they have options from noodle soups, dry noodles, rice plates, and entree plates as well. Some of my favorites here is the mekathang seafood, beef sticks, sautéed clams, sweet and sour Vietnamese soup, sweet and sour deep fried fish, salt and pepper shrimp, and okay maybe the whole menu. Definitely a place you have to try. read more

I came here for a wedding reception. I'm not a seafood person so this place was not the spot for me. Luckily, they served meat and quail, but the meat was flavorless and the quail was over cooked. My husband said all the food was very "fishy", like it was drenched in oyster sauce. He wasn't found of this place either The venue was beautiful though. Loved the chandeliers everywhere and fresh flowers! read more

I was invited to a red egg baby party. The food here is pretty yucky in my book. It was a nine course meal and I only touched two items and went to In n Out afterwards. It was a below average experience. The place was dirty for one. The place was super loud with some pretty yucky music playing. The actual singers that sang whatever was pretty good but I couldn't understand the lyrics. Parking was atrocious! Their was a piece of hair in my fork. I guess I was grossed out at the way the good was served and that piece of hair. Gives me shivers when I think about it in the dishes served. read more

Amazing food yummy yummy I recommend it very flavorful authentic one of the best restaurants I've had since I moved to the Lakewood

I've gone pass this place a good amount of times and only tried it not too long ago when one of my friends suggested for us to have lunch here and I regret that I've only tried it now because this spot has some really good food with affordable prices. Definitely worth trying it out if you haven't yet. Can't complain about their service and our orders came out pretty quick. I took my Mom and daughter here the second time around and they approve as well! Can't wait to try other dishes on the menu...I'm sure I won't be disappointed! read more

Waited over an hour for our food. We keep asking the waitress about our food, she said The cook is busy. When we got the food, one of the dish was wrong.
