Cambodian Pho
Christian R.

Fantastic. Family owned fresh food. You have to try the Cambodian pho. Will definitely be back.

side of soup with bone
Jan L.

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!

Dry egg noodle

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.

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!!

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.

Seafood Mee  (Pan Fried Noodles)
Sanuikna S.

I am very glad to enjoy some of the dishes my boyfriend ate while growing up in South Philadelphia. He talked about how delicious Heng Seng's Cambodian seafood Mee Katang and it was so flavorful and I would highly recommend it. The kathiew is very refreshing after a night of drinking and partying. The broth have fresh ingredients of herbs.

It's one of my good old favorite spots, when I need something to warm my soul. The place is low key, hold in the wall, family owned business. I always have fried dough with condensed milk for appetizer. Love this place!

No lie. This place is good. I ordered the pork needle noodles. It wasn't too salty or bland but the perfect flavor and texture. They were quick. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's worth checking out.

If you like excellent Khmer Noodle Soups, this is the spot. Friendly-family owned business and the food is delicious! We visit this area frequently from out of town. It will now be our go-to spot to refuel, share smiles, and enjoy a hearty meal. EAT!!!

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.

Shrimp egg noodle

Love their egg noodles, fried rice, and kwetiaw siram. The bone soup tasted really savory. If u eat there, try to order young coconut drink too Better order it for to go because the place is small. And u might be seated with somebody else

Geraldo H.

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.

This place was packed during happy hour but we were able to snag seats at the bar after happy hour…read moreended - make a reservation! The interior of the restaurant is very cute. We had some oysters, scallops and hamachi crudo, and my friend had the shrimp dumplings which he noted were delicious. The hibiscus spritz was light is refreshing. We will definitely be back to try their seafood tower!

I think the last time I was at this corner munching on something it was a different place. But, on…read morethe multi-festival Saturday, second of May in the year 2026, I can definitively say that I've now tried the little seafood spot on one of our favorite corners, that we're almost always just passing by to get to Time. First, the friendly, informative service: in an oyster bar with a rotating fresh selection, that's an underrated must. We were seated outside, given a rundown of the menu and "as it's ready" flow of the kitchen. We got a pair of cocktails, the Melonata and a Tequila Julep. I think the Melonata might be my new summer favorite. It looks like Ecto Cooler but doesn't give a distinct feeling of growing diabetes while drinking it. In grown up terms, it was well balanced, not too sour, not too sweet, and deeply herbal, fruity, and refreshing at the same time. The Tequila Julep was a Mint Julep with tequila instead of bourbon. It was good, though it's hard to mess that set of ingredients up. We got a selection of oysters and a shooter. Every oyster was distinct and different. Felt like there were no "different on the menu but same in flavor profile" that you can sometimes run into. This implies it's well curated. I have no idea, because I'm not an expert fishmonger, nor do I know whether that term specifically applies here - case in point. Anyway, I got 2 from Washington State, and another from Cape May. The first WA was large, buttery, and had the satisfying chew of young coconut flesh. Semi sweet. The second was smaller, sharper, and briny as hell - tasted of the ocean. And finally, the Cape May was mild and fresh, a good balance between the two others. It was a perfect little tasting menu that I'd created by just ordering the first three guys off the list. Not sure what selection came with the shooter, but the concoction in the shot glass shooter was bright green and pickly. Glad I got it as a contrast to the classics with what I assumed was red wine vinegar. Besides that, we snacked on salmon avocado toast with the Calabrian Chili Oil. It was also very, very good. Sometimes things are better than the sum of their parts. This is true here, but it's also worth noting that the individual parts - the bread, the smoked salmon, the chili oil, the avocado, the shaved onions - were excellent in their own right. We will be back for sure.

It's not worth it even if it was 1/2 off or buy one get one…read more They are running a deal on uber eats & Instacart so I decided to try. It can't be that bad but it absolutely WAS! The boil had no flavor tastes like water with the everything seasoning. I actually was disgusted with how bad it was typically corn is my favorite and they found a way to F that up. The broccoli was damn near raw. The mussels were just okay. Crab was pitiful and the shrimp was overcooked. Again no flavor. Even the butter didn't taste right. I wouldn't eat here for FREE. Never ever again.

I came here with a group of friends for lunch. This is a cute little casual eatery, serving seafood…read moreboil, coconut shrimp, fried fish, pasta, fried rice, and an assortment of other small bites and offerings. The decor is colorful with a nautical theme. Since there were so many options, I had a hard time deciding what to order. I finally went with one of the seafood combination boils, and chose Combo A, which consisted of half pound snow crab, half pound shrimp with no head, corn, potato, and broccoli. I also added Sausage, which was $1 extra. I was very happy with the Snow Crab, because the legs were nice and thick. I used the cracker tool to get the meat out and it worked pretty well. The crab meat was delightfully tender, flaky, and was full of flavor made even tastier in the buttery garlic sauce. The shrimp had to be peeled, but was quite juicy and succulent. The veggies were fresh, soft, and cooked perfectly. The sausage was wonderfully well seasoned. I also got to try Coconut Shrimp, Hush Puppies, and Sweet Potato Fries. The Coconut Shrimp was lightly breaded, amazingly crispy, with the great taste of coconut. The Hush Puppies were also decent, and satisfyingly crunchy. Sweet potato fries were yummy and addicting. Service was great. Our server was friendly and on top of it, making sure we were taken care of. I was certainly happy with meal. If I return, I would try the Fried Basket of Fried Flounder with Calamari, and Seafood Fried Rice.
