    Seafood noodle soup
    Chris K.

    You don't need to sit on a plane for 18 hours to get really great Cambodian food with a super casual vibe in San Francisco. Lunette is in the Ferry Building so other than parking in SF it's an easy place to get to. Order at the cash register on the way in, pick a table and food is delivered. Tables are simple with metal seats for each person, just like you might find at the night market in Cambodia or Lao. We started with a self created tasting flight of Asian soft drinks. Lychee, Passion Fruit, Guava and Soursop, a tropical fruit you don't see every day. Soursop was the winner with the lychee and guava as runners up. Our table ordered one vege curry with fried chicken (oxymoron we know but the banger of the evening- you can add meat to the vege dishes), one noodle dish and a seafood soup. The curry sauce had just the right balance of curry, coconut and spices. Broth with the noodles was outstanding, it must be one of those 24 hour creations of love -- layering umami with savory deliciousness. This is a great find recommended by my daughter and now I'm recommending Lunette to you. The owner literally brought the recipes back from her Granny in Cambodia with all of the secret ingredients you would find eating at Granny's home. It's perfect for vegetarians and gluten free people as nearly everything can be made to accommodate. Meat eaters can add fried chicken to just about any thing and it is all super tasty. Highly recommended. Get there early, they don't take reservations.

    So many gluten free options! I was overwhelmed and didn't know what to get. 6:30PM on a weekday there isn't much seating so we opted to take way and sit outside. We got there before the big line and maybe waited 10 minutes for food! The staff were very patient and kind. It was hot and crispy! The friend chicken was really yummy! The sauce was very tangy but refreshing. The Cha Spey was okay! It was tasty but was sitting in SO much liquid. I can see that being a takeaway issue. I'd go back again and try a noodle dish. They looked really comforting.

    I tried Lunette, this Cambodian spot in the Ferry Building, for the first time for dinner after work with friends. We got the dry noodle, salt + pepper beef, spicy lemongrass chicken, and Khmer fried chicken wings. My favorite ended up being the spicy lemongrass chicken, it was super flavorful and juicy. All the dishes were yummy and cooked well, my friends and I left feeling satisfied! I'd definitely come back here.

    Lunette is absolutely delicious! Got to try this spot on a Friday morning. Would recommend getting here before the lunch crowd since it gets busy. You order first and then find a seat, potentially sharing a table with folks. The food came out quickly! Everything was solid! The loc lak came first and was super peppery and flavorful. Meat was pretty tender and a good size portion. The fried chicken was moist and crispy - a bit pricey for 5 pieces but very good! The dry noodle was my favorite - chewy soft noodles, lots of pork, and amazing flavor - the bowl was a good size. The side of soup is savory and super flavorful. We left full and satisfied. There's self serve water and the workers were very kind. Would definitely be back!

    Only one noodle soup
    Helen L.

    I was hungry and thinking this bowl of rice noodles soup won't be enough 2 big prawns, slices of pork, fried pork bits, and grounded pork with cilantro and bean sprouts. I cleaned up the bowl by drinking the broth. They sell the beef broth for $15. Low and behold by the time I got up and walked around I was full. The broth didn't have MSG effects. Be sure to squeeze some lime into the soup. Adds so much taste. Great. Eat and go spot no dawdling.

    Soup Noodle (no, Vegan options) Pork based broth

    If you haven't tried Cambodian food yet, this may be the place to start. Inside the bustling Ferry Building is this quaint eatery. Counter service and food comes out quick Got the Tofu Lemongrass with rice plate. There is spicy sauce with fish sauce on the countertops. Noodle Soup was warm and comforting Come explore the beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay and check out all the food stalls inside the Ferry Building.

    I was told Lunette Cambodia is packed during lunch hours at the Ferry building. As much as I wanted to dine-in, I listened to my coworkers advice and ordered online for pick-up. Due to limited space, they do not take reservations. The menu is simple and limited but everything looks mouth-watering! I ordered the LORT CHA because I haven't seen pin noodles served for years! It's stir fry with pork and eggs. The meat and sauce was too salty for me. I think it was the fish sauce. I know that's frequently used in Cambodia cooking. It was still very good - just on the salty side. Ordering online was very easy and quick. The wait was about 30-45 minute so I would plan ahead and order early before you get hungry.

    Loc lak - salt and pepper beef with onions and pea shoots
    Liz W.

    We have tried coming here a few times before but lines were long. Somehow lucked out on a weekend lunch! No ressies. Limited seating. Stand in line, order your food for dining in vs. take out, and all seating is first come first serve. There are some benches and picnic tables nearby outside of the restaurant where people were eating their take out orders. FYI If you can't/don't eat pork, food options are cut down by 50%. Food came pretty quickly. A little pricey when compared to comparable Thai, Vietnamese, etc cuisines -- the ferry building rent must be $$$. We really enjoyed lunch and thought both dishes were 4.5/5. Really complex (particularly the soup with pork 3 ways, I love the crispy pieces of pork belly!!!), umami, yet not too heavy at the same time. The beef was on the saltier side but so tender. Would definitely come back again!

    KTPP (pork noodle soup)
    Cindy L.

    The KTPP was one of the best noodle soups I've had in San Francisco in a while. The broth is very light yet flavorful. The noodles are the perfect consistency, not too soft, not too al dente. The three types of pork were all well executed and provided a variety of textures so the bowl felt less monotonous. Usually when there are slices of pork, it's usually tough, dry, flavorless especially given how lean the pork is, but here the pork is soft and maintains a nice pork flavor. The bean sprouts looked very fresh while a lot of other places' bean sprouts are wilted and turning color. It's first come first serve seating. I got in line 10 minutes before opening and was able to get first round seating. I was in and out of there in 30-40 minutes so pretty quick bite and the line moves very quickly, so I wouldn't be deterred from trying even if there's a line.

    I got the pin rice noodles and it was delicious! I've recently had a lot of Cambodian food so this came highly recommended by a lot of people. I would save it's a solid stir fried noodle for sure! But it wasn't anything crazy and honestly a little too wet of a noodle compared to other ones I've had. I think I'm just being a bit of a snob now since I've had a lot but overall I'd come back again!

    I came here for lunch one weekend with some friends, and ordered the: Cha Kroeung (Lemongrass Chicken): Chicken with herbs, lemongrass, galangal, shallots, makrut lime leaves and turmeric paste, served with ginger rice. Nice flavor of the lemongrass and chicken and lime leaves. A bit salty once you run out of rice, but with rice it isn't salty. Bai Cha (Fried Chicken with Rice): Ginger rice with fried chicken fillet with pickled chili garlic sauce for dipping. Nicely fried crispy fried chicken that goes well with rice. Khmer Fried Chicken (KFC): salt and kampot pepper fried chicken with a side of lime. This chicken was juicy and crispy even after 15-20 minutes. Overall, very delicious and will come back again.

    Lemongrass chicken
    Mahima D.

    Hands down my new favorite spot in the Ferry Building and dare I say the best sit down restaurant!! Was so excited to try Cambodian food, which did remind me of a lot of Vietnamese and Thai flavors... We came around 12:30 for lunch on a Friday and it was busy! They basically were only doing takeout orders but we managed to snag a table for 2 and dine in. We got the Khmer chicken wings, dry noodles, lemongrass chicken and yellow curry with breaded chicken cutlet. Everything was really good, especially the wings, definitely some of the top in the city. So flavorful and crispy, loved it with some lime and their fish sauce with serrano peppers that was on the table. Glad they have some chicken options, wish there was a chicken noodle option. Could've eaten the lemongrass chicken by myself/wish I didn't have to share. Really solid, could've maybe even used a little more lemongrass, spice and sauciness since some pieces felt a little less spiced. Yellow curry had a slight turmeric after taste when we had the leftovers. Definitely worth the hype! Nice staff as well. Got a lychee drink with the food and it was a bit too sweet but had nice natural lychee flavor and appreciate them having it as a drink option. Will definitely come back!

    Spicy lemongrass chicken
    Karina S.

    First time trying Cambodian food in the city! I got the lemongrass chicken with ginger rice and it was so flavorful and delicious. I also tried the noodle soup which was also a hit. Located in the Ferry Building so it was quite crowded even on a weekday lunch. Finding seating was a bit challenging but doable. They accidentally served our food in takeout format which was unfortunate but I will definitely be back regardless.

The braised fish and pork belly was delicious , sweet/ salty and savory . With the crunchy cucumbers was the family favorite dish. Of course the stuffed wings continues to be our family must order when we have a chance .

Service was meh. Had to hunt down a server whenever we needed something and were subsequently forgotten.

If, despite this review, you feel compelled to try this mediocre but expensive fast food type service establishment, I recommend you save your money by ordering the regular size rather than the large size dishes. You'll waste less money. Price without drinks about $50/person. Additionally. If you don't want to feel like you're dining in a shoe box, eat outside -- mire room and better service.
