Not sure what all the hype is about, but I won't be coming back for the following reasons: 1. The place is very small, extremely crowded, and the wait is long. 2. The female server was very rude. 3. I found a piece of human hair in my dish and asked for a replacement. The waitress clearly didn't want to replace it and tried to convince me it was corn silk. Seriously? Do they think I'm a fool? It was obviously a strand of hair. I almost threw up. 4. The portion of the dishes is very small!! Not worth the price! I do not recommend this place. read more

Delicious option for kuy teav[1] - Cambodian noodle soup - and they're open early (9am)! Besides noodles, try their special fried rice, it comes with all the proteins, including savory beef. Full of locals. Bring headphones if you're easily triggered: a dude answered two calls while I was there, and when he wasn't talking on the phone, he was endlessly on the TikTok. When he left, it was blessedly quiet except for noodle slurps. Quick service. Last I was here, the server was busy. When she had a moment, I left my seat to pay her early. When I got back to my table, my bowl was gone. :( On the bright side, there was very little left, but I was hoping to savor it... :D Limited seating. Cash only. There's a TV. (Thanks to whoever put the BBC on!) Warning: In the men's bathroom, the hot water can get extremely hot. [1] Anyone who knows me knows that I'm extremely loyal to a different kuy teav restaurant - this is my backup kuy teav spot. read more

The Hu tieu nam vang broth is amazing, probably the best I've had. It's a small restaurant that I've been meaning to visit for a while now and the owner came out to talk to us and even gave me his hat! read more

Heng Seng Restaurant - Cambodian Pho - Cambodian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

i've been coming here since I was a kid. This place has the best noodles. I would eat here every Sunday with my family. This restaurant is very small, there's about 6-7 tables. Parking is not the greatest, like everywhere in Philly but it's so worth it! The food here makes you feel so warm. It makes you feel like you're at home. I always get the rice noodle. It's the perfect sized bowl on a cold day. If you're not in the mood for an entire bowl of soup, they have a dry option that comes with soup on the side. Everything here is really good regardless of what you order! Don't let this little restaurant on the corner of 7th street slip out under your nose, it's got great Cambodian food. The owners are also super nice! read more

This small local restaurant is located at Cambodian community in South Philadelphia. I always come here for a bowl of phnom penh noodle soup, it what Cambodian called "kuy teav." The owner is also a chef, he and his wife are so generous. Every time we go to eat there, he alway gives us a bowl of soup full of bone marrow packed with meats. The broth is so tasty, you need to dip it with their fried dough, which is freshly made every day. I also like their chow fun noodle. They come in two choices: beef and seafood. They also have others combination of Cambodian and Chinese dishes. This is the place to go for fresh fried dough and an authentic Cambodian style noodle soup. It's one of the best in South Philly. read more

Very small neighborhood restaurant, if you want most authentic you know these places are the best. Service was great, speaks both English and Khmer. It was so cold yesterday so a nice hot bowl of Cambodian noodle soup was perfect! And of course when you can't say no to the soup but also want the dry version, do both, yum!! read more

Heng Seng Restaurant - Cambodian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cash only hole-in-the-wall in Philly's Cambodia Town, very similar to some other restaurants in the area. Hours are a little all over the place, and sometimes the owners close for weeks for vacation, so make sure to call first to confirm opening status. Also even though this is a Cambodian restaurant, the menu includes Vietnamese and the lady who served us spoke Vietnamese - perfect for the rather large local Viet community in Philly! We all ordered the Phnom Penh rice noodle (for Viet customers, this would be "hu tieu nam vang"). It comes either dry with a small bowl of broth on the side, or with the noodles completely in broth. You can also choose to have only rice noodle, rice & egg noodle, or only egg noodle. The broth has a nice clean bone aroma, very clear color. The toppings are rich and full of innards which are very traditional. My one wish is that the broth could be saltier in order to balance out with the fresh herbs on the side. However I was very impressed with the size - as of Dec 2022, they charge $13 for S and $16 for L, and even the S is extremely generous. I'm giving this restaurant a 4 instead of a 5 just because of the umami / salt profile of the broth being less impressive than other local places. However the food is still good, and the portions are generous, so I had a very good experience here. Context here: my family is Vietnamese, and it's really hard to find a decent bowl of "hu tieu nam vang" at a Vietnamese restaurant in the US, so I'm always fascinated by Cambodian noodle restaurants in the US. read more

Good food and nice people! The phnom pehn style egg noodle was delicious! Great flavors and a lot going on. I didn't get a picture of it because it was saturated with bean sprouts. The dish pictured was pretty good. But nothing special. Everything was very reasonably priced and the portions are generous. Their Chinese donut is also phenomenal. So crispy and melts in your mouth. It's a small restaurant so their dine in situation is pretty cramped and not my vibe with COVID and all. But we did take out and they were super quick. read more

The broth have fresh ingredients of herbs. read more

Heng Seng Restaurant - a fried egg over noodles - Cambodian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When they say "small corner hole in the wall" the description is perfectly accurate. You may have to wait for a table but it's worth it. We were the only Europeans in a full house on a Saturday afternoon: a very good sign. A quick survey of tables tells that the soups are the thing to order. We were three. The service was most affable. When an older woman did not understand our English she turned us over to a most helpful young woman who guided us through the very compact menu. We ordered: Rice Noodle Seafood : Excellent, Beef Rice and Egg Noodle, and one non-soup, Seafood Noodle very good but needed a little Sriracha and Hoisin. The prices are incomparable. $8 to $10. Excellent choice. read more

I have been dying to try this place for months now. The place small. Another hole in the wall place. The food is very good. Street parking. I had the seafood Lad na (rice noodle). It's flavorful. Perfect portion for lunch. Nice amount of veggies, seafood, noodle and gravy mixture. It's perfect. The seafood Phnom Penh noodles were just as good. This is similar to pho but a seafood version. Nice and hot broth, full of flavor. Lettuce, scallion, garlic and shallot with shrimp, fish cakes and of course rice noodles. Delicious. Lemonade was ok. It's not fresh squeeze. I will have to try a different drink next time. But overall, staff was friendly and quick. Get you in and out. Food was really good. read more

Really authentic Cambodian food, taste sort of like Chinese food also. Get their katiev kohk, and mee ka tang.

Fantastic food and service! I highly recommend this family run restaurant. The service is fast and friendly and the food is outstanding.

Family owned restaurant with loyal patrons. I've known the owners since I was very young and this is definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone who wants to support a small business that serves great food. As much as I see the other reviews, I feel like they underplay the value of what this place is really about. For one, the reason why I like this spot is because they NEVER change their style and that is a great thing. read more

Cambodian Noodle house that offers other traditional Southeast Asian dishes. Business is family owned and operated. Husband and wife are very nice and friendly.

I just wanted to update my review. This place has some of the most consistent food I've ever had. It always comes out looking and tasting the same, and it's been this way for a few years. I still wish they had some appetizers, but I love going here. It's still a favorite of my partner's, as well. read more

I definitely recommend this restaurant for several reasons. Firstly it's because they have outgoing workers and their service is top notch. I ordered a food from there and I got it less than 10minutes which is pretty good unlike some restaurants that exist. Their food is great too I recently ordered a beef chow fun and I can assure you that is one of the BEST beef chow fun I have ate. It had a great amount of beef to equal out to the noodles. And I know some places don't do that. I definitely recommend people to go here if people want their food made deliciously and fast. read more

If you want a taste of home away from home, this is the place to be! The food is always on point. The chef will go out of his way to make sure you enjoy your meal. Customer satisfaction is definitely on the top of this restaurants list of priorities. Place is small so be prepared to get comfy and make friends with strangers. The owner and his wife are so nice and welcoming. read more

One of my favourite and cheap restaurant. =) I am especially loved the soup on the side. The rice is pretty good too. I always ordered House special ones and the taste is just alright aka not too salty or sweet. Not the best place to eat the noodles though. Other people that comes totally enjoyed them but not for me. The service was great and often enough there would be a large bunch of people talking loudly. Hard to park (usually the street was packed). Other than that, I always craved for the soup and the house specials. read more

First time here. Hood good is the best way to describe is fried noodles on point. Gf got pan fried noodles id recommend it
