We visited the owners restaurant at a different location in Salida. We are visitors so we stop when we get to Salida. We loved this place, the food and the atmosphere. The restaurant was moved because a larger kitchen needed however we didn't know where. Now we found it. It's much larger and menu looks expanded. Nicky decorated and cozy. We were greeted by Trevor who sat us and waited on us as well. He was always available for any questions we had or service needed. We got a couple beers and ordered. I had shrimp pho and my wife had chicken pho. The taste was incredible ( I also enjoy a good pho ) and portions just right per size. We were attended to make sure our needs were met. Pawnee ( spelling ?? ) greeted us and thanked us for stopping in. She is the owner. She made us feel welcomed and special customer. Another couple of customers came in while we dined. We seen them get something from a cooler; so I asked what it was. Sticky rice with blueberries. I asked for one ( I've had sticky rice in Thailand before ) Trevor treated me to a serving. It was just like I remembered. Definitely will be back to dine again. If you're in Salida make it a point to stop in. read more

Little Cambodia - My empty bowl and other still in progress; yummy - Cambodian Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Came with a big group and it definitely accommodated about 20-25 people. Plenty of parking and it's across from a Hampton Inn. Easy access for us!! It may look small from the outside, but it's quite the restaurant inside. It's spacious and there's even a stage....maybe for kid's performances or karaoke night. I was really looking forward to Asian food, so my expectations were high. Since it was such a large group and ONLY 1 waitress, orders got lost and mixed up, and the wait was long! I was hungry, but also understand that one waitress helping us would take a while. Unfortunately, some were not as patience and had a little 'tude, so I apologize for them. I had the beef pho, since it was a cold night. There were tons of different orders, but my pho was okay. It was kind of warm broth instead of hot and who puts carrots in pho???? That was weird to me. We weren't offered all the right herbs and mints that usually goes with it, but assuming it's in a small town they don't have access to them? It wasn't the best pho I've ever had, nor was it the worst. Just not authentic. Also, it's combination of Southeast cuisine - a little bit of Vietnamese, a little Thai, a little Chinese, and from what I remember only ONE dish that was Cambodian. Everybody on our end of the table was not happy with their food. Some of the ladies weren't happy with their Thai Tea and sent it back. I didn't try it, but the owner came out and questioned it. mmmmm.....I wouldn't questioned why a customer didn't like it just because you made it. You should asked why didn't you like it and how can I improve. Overall, it wasn't a great experience and bellies didn't go home happy. Oh, the food took so long to come out some left. It was disappointing. read more

We just had dinner with Phanny and her team at their restaurant's new location near WalMart. As always, excellent food, great service and a nice venue. We believe Little Cambodia cooks their food with an extra bit of love in each plate. Everyone clearly cares about taking great care of us, their customers. You're simply wonderful, Thanks again, Bill & Kirk read more

The food was great, a little light on the meat, but tasty! The server. From the moment we walked in, she was awful to us. Homecoming was the same night so they were busy, totally understandable! When she took our orders my friend asked "have all these other tables ordered already" and the server snapped back "we're busy, so it takes a while for food when restaurants are busy" Yeah!? No shit! It was so rude. The Men ordered two espresso martini's and what came to the table was laughable. Basically coffee grounds in vodka, no ice.... They decided to send those back. When the server came back to ask what was wrong with them, my friend said "that was not an espresso martini, but no biggie, we'll stick with water" She said in a terrible tone "this is a cambodian restaurant, what did you expect!?" We felt she could have just said "we don't do espresso martini's" when they ordered them, but instead they were met with that. Not cool. We will not be back, which is unfortunate, because our friends LIVE HERE and the food was decent. Bunmer! read more

Food is always amazing. The coconut curry chicken is my favorite along with the spring rolls. Plus the new location is much better than the previous one. read more

My new favorite restaurant in Salida. The food was fantastic and at an excellent price. The place was very busy, the service was a little slow, but our server was incredibly kind and did an amazing job despite being slammed. the overall atmosphere was homey and comforting, the place just had an immaculate vibe. 10/10 will definitely be back In the near future read more

Food is as great, vegetables were fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Music absolutely sucked. Loose the cowboy music. Seriously.

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday on our trip to Salida. Best food we had all weekend! The spring rolls are the size of burritos and a medium pho is more than you need! The service was friendly and fast. She gave recommendations and explained to some of the dishes. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I wish there was one in my town. read more

I wanted to love this Asian spot in Salida, especially since other reviews looked good, and maybe it is better for meat options. The vegetarian pho was really quite sad - usually vegetarian pho will have a variety of vegetables and tofu, but this was literally just noodles and bland broth. read more

Pho bowl w chicken. Not much chicken or vegetables. Mostly broth which wasn't all that tasty. Just disappointing. Probably won't be back.

Love that we have great pho in the area. It cures what ails ya'! Love the new space as well. I see so much potential here as a good community hangout. read more

Service - so rude, didn't give us, potential customers, the time of day. Too bad because we know the chef is good. They should hire new staff & get rid of twirly arrogant mustache guy. read more

The food is excellent! The service is quick,efficient, and friendly. and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. My favorite place to go with friends, for a great meal! read more

This was possibly the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. The service was a joke. They could not bring out all four meals at the same time and the Pho tasted more like chicken soup than pho. If I could've given them negative stars I would have. read more

I love the food and new location of Little Cambodia in Salida, Colorado. The owner is very friendly and accommodating, the food is so delicious and the restaurant decor is inviting. Very affordable we will be returning soon!!!! read more

The drunken noodles were so spicy I couldn't even eat it. My mouth burned for an hour. The egg rolls were fine. Pot stickers were good also.

Very inviting and always great food. Authentic menu choices. They have been a regular favorite of ours for years!! Keep on cooking and we will keep on coming with our freinds! read more

Quirky hours (Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, 12-5pm), but the food makes up for it. The fried Mandu/dumplings were perfect. Savory., meaty and hot! The raw beef pho was some of the best I ever ate. It is bountiful, so come hungry. A plus; they serve bubble tea!! read more

This restaurant makes me want to move to Salida. The food was amazing, the little grocery section in the corner was fascinating, and all the people had such a great vibe. Including the customers. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find SE Asian offerings in the middle of rural Colorado, though we realize Salida is a tad more metropolitan than most towns. My partner had the beef pho (yeah, they offered pho with chicken, shrimp, and tofu, too), and I had the somlaw machew, a Cambodian sour beef soup. My partner felt the pho was okay - there weren't traditional cuts you'd normally find in authentic pho, and he felt the meat was too chewy (and not rare like you'd normally get). My soup was tasty - great lemongrass, tamarind, and turmeric flavors - but the portion felt small for the price, and the beef could have been more tender. Plus, the side of rice that came with the soup was not nearly enough, and I had to ask for more. Also, I had a spring roll, chose grilled beef as the filling, and was disappointed by the watery dipping sauce. All in all, it was a nice option in Salida, if a little expensive (about 50% more expensive than what you'd pay in Denver). That said, I was impressed that we could even get this kind of food so far away from a big town. read more

So sad to experience such unimpressive food in such a great location. In years past, the food seemed completely different. I ate the entire meal for both of us since my spouse was so disappointed. She had been looking forward to visiting this once-favorite restaurant in downtown Salida. She only picked at her bun bowl and described it as "a solid glob of rice noodles" with little else. She tried to salvage her experience by later ordering egg rolls that were okay. I had noticed a difference in the food in later days of 2017 before they closed in the F Street location, but our food this visit was even less impressive. Wish that we had more options for Asian food in Salida these days. read more

The combo pho was amazing, probably some of the best I've ever had. We enjoyed the river front view as well! Looking forward to visiting again - hopefully soon! read more

This place is great. Quirky, food is amazingly flavorful, and owner is a tough cookie that aims to please. Love the Pho, boba, and basically everything I've tried on the menu. Def tiny but has a nice atmosphere whether dining inside or outside. I liked the cute counter indoors. Highly recommended! read more

surfer! Restaurant had closed last but returned in a larger setting. Everything is great. Spring rolls, pho. Be sure to check posters as there are things available that are not on menu, specials,seaweed salad, and squid marinated. So pleased thisvgreatbplace is back! read more

Wonderful gem in Salida. Fantastic Chicken coconut soup. Great spring rolls. The Pho looks great as well. Cute space. We will be coming back!!! read more

The food was incredible! We had the chicken coconut rice soup which was incredible. The lettuce wraps were very nice. The food is hand made and fresh. The restaurant is a beautiful place to be! The food takes a bit to get to done and the staff is not the very best at communicating that the food preparation is slow. The food was incredibly good!! read more

Very happy Little Cambodia is now open Sundays! We stopped in and had phô and bûn yesterday - definitely hit the spot! Great flavors and friendly service. I added tofu in my veggie bûn and wished it had been chopped up a bit and was the puffy kind. However, it was very fresh. Hubby's phô was full of flavor and he enjoyed it so much he didn't share. Funky building but a fun place. Will definitely eat here again when in Salida. read more

Little Cambodia - Cambodian Near Me - Salida, Colorado

As an asian, I think this is prob the worst asian food I've tried in Colorado :( Their flat rice noodle is not only tasteless, but also really hard. I feel like I'm chewing some leather belts... The atmosphere is not bad but the food is so bad. I can cook ten times better than them. read more

Beautiful location! Great ironwork in the railings and bike rack. Great to see this kind of local investment right along the river. Menu is short and simple. After trying the fried rice with shrimp and drunken noodles with steak we were pretty disappointed with the food. Thankfully it was cleanly prepared but underwhelming in flavor and preparation. Noodles we're undercooked and the fried rice was chared. They tried to compensate for flavor with red chilli peppers which was a generic miss. I wish the restaurant the best. We also may have made the mistake of just ordering the wrong thing. Everyone else than restaurant was ordering pho. Not sure I have the confidence to try again. read more

The food was as delicious as the great aroma that came with a comfort and satisfaction I just can't get over !We got 2 Pho's; one beef and one shrimp. We also got the sweet chili wings and my hubby got a shrimp spring roll. The broth for the pho was phenomenal & we've had a lot of different types from basically everywhere we have been( this has to have been the best )! The wings were so tasty! It did not taste like some kind of bottled sweet chili sauce and even if it was they amped it up with some unforgettable flavors, the wings were also fried to perfection for a lack of better words. My hubby's spring roll was huge and he enjoyed it so much. The only reason I would give this place 4 stars and not five was for the one thing that wasn't too satisfying at it was the Thai tea. I love Thai tea and it was not horrible just not the way I like it. I think it was made differently and just did not have sweetness as I am accustom to. Overall I would say check this place out. It really is a pleasant surprise. We live in Alamosa and would drive up to Salida anytime to enjoy the great food. Hopefully we can enjoy the atmosphere as well when the virus comes under control. Don't sleep on this place !! read more

Little Cambodia - My picture doesn't do these wings justice but this was bomb !! - Cambodian Near Me - Salida, Colorado

At the Colorado creative summit, I was in a writing workshop and took my typewriter to a public spot on the river. There was a basket of condiments and I thought I was crashing Little Cambodia. The server asked I needed anything, I asked for a beer but said my money was back at the Steamplant. She said, "Don't worry about it, pay later." After the sessions were over at the conference I went back to pay. I like trustworthy places like this. The place was very busy, I heard the spring rolls are pretty good - next time read more

Very good service, nice young people. The Pho was not the best but definitely was good. Next time i'm in the area, i'm a game

Food was 4 stars, service was 3 - if i could average it, i'd give 3.5. The food wasn't mind blowing, but was good (i strongly prefer this to the thai mini cafe in pancha springs). Server seemed surprised that we wanted (needed) utensils. Bathrooms are for the adventurous. read more

First time here in Salid, CO, walked across this little cozy restaurant, ordered Lemongrass Stuffed Chicken w/Broccoli absolutely delicious!! Crispy, mouthwatering! The Pho soup with beef was to die for!!! I mean the broth SO flavorful and the veggies were so colorful and delicious!! The spring roll, the spring roll...best spring roll I have ever had, loaded with veggies and perfect for splitting with two! I'm definitely coming back again!! read more

MUCH closer to 2.5 stars. This tasted absolutely NOTHING like any pho I've had before, and was run by two lazy teenagers and one steadfast white lady (that I noticed). If you have a Vietnamese food craving near here...just wait. You'll be more satisfied later. Food was definitely over priced and took its time getting to the table even though we were the only people in the place. Egg rolls were pretty good, however. Maybe it's better for other people considering the location. read more

Great food, fair prices, and friendly staff! On the downside, seating is VERY limited, so you will have to eat outside or in the bar next door. A couple of points: note that Salida is a small town. This means it has no stadiums, casinos, or international airports but it also means that you are lucky to be able to even find pho. Keep that in mind since items are priced accordingly and the selection is not huge. The food here is quite good and the staff were very helpful, so give them a try sometime. read more

It's nice to see a pho (noodle soup) shop in the mountains! We enjoyed the pho, but it has less in it (like basil and mint) than Lao or Vietnamese pho. There also doesn't seem to be the standard caddy of sugar, fish sauce, etc, available to dress up your soup. Maybe that is because their stock is already pretty good. I hope this business does well, because it's a great addition to the area! read more

Sadly, very disappointing and mediocre. Service was slow and it took forever for the food to arrive and then it came to the table unevenly, with two in our party having to wait close to 10 minutes more for their dishes. Appetizers came after the main courses. Drunken noodles were way too salty and the noodles were very undercooked. Shrimp Fried rice was virtually burnt with crusty rice and only 4 shrimp. The tofu fried rice was the same. Considering the many options for food in Salida, I could not in good consciousness recommend this. read more

A tiny little restaurant in downtown Salida, next door to The Vic bar. Take note... There are only three (3) tables, but you can eat in the room next door, which belongs to The Vic. Yes, the Pho was a bit more expensive than Pho we've had in the past, and it could have used more basil and bean sprouts. But it was rare beef was hot, tasty and filling. And for us, it's the closest Pho we can find... short of making ourselves. Upon request they were able to make vegetarian version (with shrimp) for my partner. It was also good. We would come here again. read more
