One of the dishes he had suggested was the A-Mok Trei the curry fish dish I had on my last visit nice to know I selected well. What we had that was from the list on this visit was the Prohok Ktis: a sauce served with fresh vegetables usually made from prahok sach, minced pork, yellow kroeung, coconut cream, tamarind juice, palm sugar, pea eggplants and lime leaves. Ma-Chu Kreung: Lemongrass Beef Stew (combination of vegetables, beef, beef tripe & beef intestine) **think this may have been a favorite at the table though all the dishes were delicious! and the Angkor Chicken Wings crispy piping hot tossed in a flavorful sauce. Not on the list we ordered the Nom Banh Chok: Cambodia's beloved noodle dish. Rice noodle in coconut based fish curry, garnished with seasonal vegetables. We also tried beverages infer the Refreshers part of the menu. Passionfruit, Dragonfruit and Coconut Juice this one was also on the list. Was more than us to share we also had a small bowl of rice as the owner said it would go well with the Ktis and Ma-Chu Kreung. I am going to be thinking of the Ma-Chu Kreung for awhile. Excited to bring more friends....

Rare to find a Cambodian joint in WA so gotta appreciate all the spots that do exist…read more This place has been such a dope addition to UD. I feel like there are so many similar types of food in the area, so having something like Angkor Wok is a breath of fresh air. I've had a number of things on their menu. My favorites are probably their hot pot options, the fish curry, and the chicken wings (or popcorn chicken). IMO as w most Asian restaurants, it's best to come here w a group so yall can do family style and get a taste of everything.

I am showing my age by saying the restaurant is VERY LOUD, and our table was in a very dark spot in the restaurant. Oddly, they didn't have enough table lamps for all the dark tables. Our server said they "ran out". How does that happen? I stalked a departing table to take their rechargeable lamp. Anyway, my expectations were likely too high going in, and I was annoyed before even ordering, turning on our cellphone light to read the menu. The food is pretty good, though not mind-blowing good like the reviews suggest, and we had one bad dish. They offer varied Khmer dishes beyond noodle varieties, which is a plus. Go if you are looking for variety, skip the fish, bring ear plugs, and hope you have a brighter table than ours. Parking is street only. 3 Stars for the food, minus 1 star for the restaurant environment (unrelated to staff) The Food: k'tiss dip with crudités, $18 - 4 Stars We chose the marrow stone blue oyster mushroom option - p'set. The mushrooms are sautéed in Khmer seasonings, fermented bean curd, and coconut milk. The veggies are mildly pickled. They paired surprisingly well and a unique dish to try. kroeung kumeraage, $15 - 4 Stars This dish has an option of fried chicken or fried mushrooms. We chose the chicken since we already had mushrooms. Kroeung is the Khmer seasoning. Our server said this dish and papaya salad are amongst the most popular. Since we have a veggie dish, we chose this over the papaya salad (which looks great, too). The chicken is lightly fried, not crispy outside, super tender, and paired well with the kroeung aioli. trei chmouy tuk tei omperi, $40 - 1 Star The menu says serves 2 but not really. The is a pan seared fish, make your own fish wrap. We did not know we ordered a DIY dish, which is ok in principle, just not good to be surprised. The menu doesn't say so; the server didn't mention it. Luckily, by this time of the meal, we have acquired the little table lamp, which enabled me to see the long fish bones that had not been removed. FIVE of them. The noodles are a pathetic overcooked limp pile. The best part is the turmeric sauce. Do not order this dish. Epilogue: I happened to walk by Sophon this past weekend. I was surprised to see a sign saying they are temporarily closed to resolve internal issues. (See photo) That is never a good reflection of management. There is now a GoFundMe for the unpaid staff who had to quit their jobs.

It's the kind of local restaurant that's easy to miss but definitely worth finding. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was fantastic! We had the fried chicken wings with sticky rice, Lao sausage, papaya salad, Nem Khao, and chicken larb. Every dish was well-seasoned, made with fresh ingredients, and full of authentic Lao flavors. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Southeast Asian cuisine.

The flavors are…read morebold, funky, and packed with umami definitely on the "stinky in the best way" side, which is exactly how I like it. Some days it's a hit or miss if i'm going to be honest, like for the papaya salad it's like they don't put enough padaek but 9 times out of 10 they do it good. The spot itself is tucked inside a small grocery store, which gives it a really homey, lowkey vibe. It's not fancy at all, but that's part of the charm you're here for the food, and it delivers every time. And if you're looking at my photo... ignore the seafood boil they don't sell that here, I just brought it into the mix because I was feeling extra and felt like a big back.

It was delicious and perfectly cooked with balanced and harmonious flavors waking up my tastebuds. That goes the same for the amazing flavors and generous portion-size of their Thom Khem dish which is Caramelized Pork Belly and Tamari-Cured Hard-boiled Egg Stewed with ginger, garlic, and warming spices. As if that's not enough, it is served along with a brussel hash brown, pickled fresno chili, atop jasmine rice. For the drinks my party ordered, I recommend the refreshing Tamarind Soda which instantly transported me to the famously humid tropical weather of Southeast Asia. The two shareable appetizers we ordered were perfect for 4 people and was a nice introduction to the main dishes we ordered. The Lao Beef Jerky and Nam Khao were tasty and delightful bites. Street parking available. The restaurant is clean with lovely decor, indoor and patio seating. It has a warm and welcoming ambiance. Their pricing is not exactly budget-friendly, but with the generous portions, quality ingredients, and friendly service I think their pricing is just right.

Have been meaning to try this place for awhile! Came in on a weekday evening for dinner (around…read more6:15?) and we got a table right away. Interior is dark and woody? Lots of ox decor haha. Kinda funny though because it doesn't immediately feel like southeast Asian? Maybe a mix of western and Asian Service is a littttle slow, but the food and everything came out fast. I ordered the lemongrass limeade soda, the Lao burger, and mango sticky rice. The soda was super refreshing, and wasn't too sweet. The Lao burger was super yummy and juicy. I liked the sauce and veggies, but I wish they had added more. The patties were also a tad too salty in some spots. I also tried the Lao sausage entree which comes with rice and sides of veggies. The sausage and sauce were really flavorful, but the veggies didn't really pair well with it. The menu also says you get a choice of rice and sauce, but the server never asked what we wanted. Mango sticky rice was pretty good. I liked that it came warm, but the coconut sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Overall, a pretty good spot! I'd definitely come back to try the other dishes. I'd also come early in the evening, because a line formed pretty quickly.

Then, 5 minutes later my pho arrived. I've never waited 25 minutes for pho ever in my life. The noodles were also thick which might be great for some but I prefer the thin rice vermicelli. Some of the brisket was tough and hard to chew. There was also part of an onion skin in my soup. I don't think I'll be trying this joint again.

I had the chicken satay plate. Delicious! The chicken had a great flavor and loved it with the pickled veg, fried bits of onion, and that addictive sauce. I enjoyed the egg and rice, though I would have loved the yolk to be runny not cooked hard. Others ordered the bahn mi. One chicken satay and one vegan. Great sandwiches and a good value. A little different than what we've had before but tasty. Might have enjoyed a little more pickled veg on them. I wish I was in this area more often. I'd love to try more things on the menu!
