    Saturday, 25 November 2023 -- inside
    Agnes I.

    I visited for the first time in November 2023 with my friend Lesly. We came for dinner. I ordered the number 6 on the menu (Hue Beef Soup) which was listed then at a price of $8.99. I also ordered the spring rolls which were listed for $3.98 for two spring rolls. I also ordered hot tea ($2) which comes in a small cup but there is also a small tea kettle brought to the table which holds the rest of the tea. FOOD -- This is a Cambodian and Vietnamese restaurant. There is lots to choose from on the menu. I would say that this is a simple/basic restaurant or average. The Hue Beef soup which is under $10 was the perfect dish for me because I was feeling slightly sick on that day so eating something hot helped my throat. I noticed that there was plenty of oil in the soup though which isn't the healthiest. The beef in the soup was tender which was nice. The spring rolls were good too. My friend also ordered the spring rolls and I think she also ordered the same soup as me and she enjoyed her meal. I'd love to come back to try a rice dish but knowing that I love trying different restaurants around town, I know that I won't be back here anytime soon. This restaurant is very inexpensive and service was reasonable quick when I visited in November 2023 which is a plus. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 73/150 total reviews in 2024 - 723 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 July 2024

    I got the banh hoy, which was a vermicelli rice noodle with beef and onions wrapped in a lettuce wrap dipped in a house fish sauce. The fish sauce and noodles was quite good, unfortunately the beef wasn't that good. I was quite disappointed. This is family owned business, there was unfortunately one person as the waiter so it was a slow service, however he was very kind when he got to our table. The food did take some time to come out(I think there was only one person in the kitchen), unfortunately it was not worth the wait. It was very mediocre Cambodian cuisine. The mango tea was also lacking flavor. There was a certain flavor lacking in these dishes that I would expect from Khmer cooking. Ultimately I was disappointed here, but if you want to try Cambodian cuisine, it's an introduction to the cuisine and culture. Food: 5.5 Staff/service: 5 Overall: 5.3 /10

    Came here recently with friends and had a wonderful time! They were mostly doing take-out orders, so we had the restaurant to ourselves, which ended up being great because the toddler in our party had the zoomies. The man running the restaurant was so incredibly kind with her being so energetic and still managed to bring out our food quickly between to-go orders. We ordered the mini spring rolls (cute) and a variety of rice and noodle dishes, which were all quite good! Even the one with a little spicy symbol next to it wasn't overpoweringly spicy, which I appreciated.

    Bayon with steamed tofu

    I had an ok experience at Phnom Penh. I ordered the Bayon with tofu at Dragon Spice level, the hottest spice level they offered. The flavors of the dish were fine and the dish was good, but it wasn't spicy at all. It was rather mild, instead. Our server never came to check on us after delivering our order to the table, so I didn't get a chance to ask about it. He only came by after we were finished to give us the check. I was just disappointed. The Dragon Level of spice is up-charged and costs a couple extra dollars, too, so I was really hoping it would be more substantial.

    Never been to a Cambodian restaurant before and never thought my first time would be in CLE, but I was impressed by the wide selection of unique dishes with authentic flavors offered at this little gem on W 25th! We stopped by for takeout, but they're open for eating in during COVID with a reasonably spacious indoor layout for relatively distanced dining. Since I'm not at all familiar with Cambodian dishes and didn't recognize most words on the menu, we ended up just getting two of their most popular items, the Chha Kreoung Ma Rass Prowt (a deliciously aromatic stir fry with your choice of proteins tossed with turmeric, garlic, lemongrass and lime leaves, served in a very sweet peanut sauce) and the Amok Siemreap. Both dishes were absolutely bursting with flavor but we both preferred the latter, which was an indulgent seafood amalgamation of shrimp, scallops, imitation crab (not crab) and steamed fish cooked in creamy coconut milk and wrapped in fragrant banana leaf. ** Highly recommend ordering your food at least medium spicy to take that flavor explosion to the next level. Kind of underwhelming portion sizes for the price but otherwise an overall impressive takeout experience with phnom-enal phlavors that was a very pleasant intro into the world of Cambodian cuisine :^) Already looking forward to my next visit!

    I've been dying to try Phnom Penh after someone told me that their absolute favorite restaurant in Cleveland was this. I have to say I was not disappointed at all! The menu is massive and definitely felt a little overwhelmed with what to order but the owner was very helpful in pointing us to dishes that he was sure we would like. We got one rice dish and one noodle dish, both of which were incredible. Service was amazing as well as we were checked on frequently. Overall, we loved our time here and will definitely be returning

    Having walked by this place literally hundreds of times over the years, I can't believe it took me so long to finally check it out! Upon entering I was greeted by the owner, a friendly gentleman who was quite welcoming and happy to discuss various menu selections. There are countless options that seemed both enticing as well as adventurous, so it was a bit of a challenge deciding upon a dish. Ultimately I chose the Chha Kreoung, a tantalizing blend of turmeric root, lime leaves, lemon grass, galanga root, onion, red peppers, and rice - amazing! This was one of the tastiest flavor infused dishes that I've ever had the pleasure of eating. You don't have to fly to Cambodia to try excellent cuisine, you can visit Phnom Penh!

    Very good! I got mild but could've gone spicier. Service was great, no one was there when we got there but a few small parties came in after so no wait! :) will return if in town

    I was here with my aunt approx. 5 years ago and have always wanted to return. It was that good. My husband and I came in for a late lunch after walking through the Westside Market. There were only 2 other tables and the lone man working was very nice. They were out of Thai iced tea, but he offered iced coffee, which was just as good so my disappointment was very low. Several people came in during our meal and he was quite busy, but we still got efficient service. My husband had Pad Thai and I had Neak Poan with shrimp. It was so good! It's a Cambodian dish with rice, basil, bamboo, pineapple and coconut milk. Maybe I'll make it back before another 5 years goes by.

    I'm glad we found this place. We left the West End Market, started to walk around looking for a place to eat. Found this gem among other Restaurants(not interested)its wasn't crowded so I was wondering..... Well didnt haved to wonder any more! Food was excellent! Flavorful! Plentiful! The server was informative & nice. When leaving the restaurant I see their sign showing how many years they been there. Since 1929! Thumbs up!

    Salad Phnam pen, vegetarian hot level.  SO fresh and delicious- I slurped the dressing at the bottom!

    Found this spot for some beef chow fun and a Thai iced tea…read more Got its own parking lot and quite spacious inside. Got there right as they opened and ordered their beef chow fun. Really like how much veggies they added to the dish. The chow fun was all clumped together or mushed into small pieces. Will come back to try their other dishes.

    The food here is excellent and tasted authentic, not Americanized. The service is also good. The…read morebathrooms are kind of dirty. We came on a Wednesday evening and were quickly seated. We ordered the rare beef noodle soup, a dish with spicy fish, and a clay pot brisket dish. Rare beef noodle soup: (3/5) This dish came with sliced rare beef, onions, bean sprouts, noodles, veggies, and a few other things. The soup was kind of bland and the beef portions were kind of small. The noodles were also average. Spicy fish dish: (5/5) It was indeed spicy and the fish and vegetables were delicious. The fish was tender and had a nice texture unlike some other restaurants that just heat things up in a bag. Brisket clay pot: (5/5) The brisket was super tender and tasty. The vegetables and radish that came with it also had a nice flavor. I know few restaurants that can make this dish as good as this one. Service: (4/5) Our server came to refill water frequently and checked in on us. Ambiance: (3/5) It was nice and quiet since we came close to closing time. One of the employees was eating in the back. The interior was clean though the bathrooms were kind of wet and they had no paper towels and had a moldy hand dryer. Just so you know, they don't have hot tea for free.
