8. Tender Duck Noodle
Joanne L.

Fire clean broth and fire food - so much protein! And I added the bok choy on top which added good crunchiness. It's super hearty and warms the whole body. Made me feel so energized after and not in a food coma even tho I ate so much. It was pretty empty when I came in and had plenty of seating. The servers are friendly and they come help out when needed!

I had their Phnom Penh Noodle dish again and it continues to be great! The noodles are delicious with the sauce and the seafood and meat with the dish is great. It was definitely fulfilled by the end of the meal. The service is great! The owner is nice, helpful, and funny. The food doesn't take long to make as well. The food is fairly priced I'd say. The ambiance is good! The place is nicely organized and clean and there's a decent amount of seating!

11. Goo Nam Noodle
Kelly L.

Really enjoyed our meal at Phnom Penh Noodle House! We ordered the Phnom Penh Chicken (SO good!!), Goo Nam Noodle, and the Phnom Penh Wonton Noodle, everything was flavorful, authentic, and super hearty. The chicken wings were definitely the highlight for us. Service was thoughtful and friendly, and the food came out quickly, which we appreciated. Overall a great spot & we would recommend and definitely come back again!

28. Red Curry
Rose Y.

I wanted to support this restaurant because I imagine it has suffered with unhoused people sleeping at their front door and others on the block. We ordered veggie noddle soup and a red curry dish. Both were so so. Soup - not very flavorful. Curry - too sweet and served lukewarm. I would like to give them 3 for food and 4 for service. Location is a challenge.

#11 is the farther bowl. #8 is the closer bowl.

Arrived here on a rainy day and it wasn't too busy. It's totally family run as there seems to be a teen working and then there was a young child playing. I love when a family restaurant comes together. The restaurant is very clean. Staff is super kind. We ordered #11. Goo Nam Noodle and #9. Foursome Beef Noodle. I really wanted to try #17. Sa-gnao Jrouk Ktiss, but i definitely different have enough stomach room. I love that they use wide rice noodles. It's probably my favorite noodle. Both broths were delicious. I personally had the #11 and there was so much protein in it. It's very filling and the soup is rich. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. My only wish was that the noodle soup bowl was served hotter. It was at an acceptable temperature, but I do really enjoy my food extra warm, especially on a rainy day. I tasted #9 and wow the broth was declious. It was a little sour, but I really enjoyed that. I'd totally come back and try #17. It's on my list.

We arrived at Phnom Penh Noodle House a bit before 1 PM on Sunday to have some noodle soup for a brisk day. There was about a ten minute wait at that time. After being seated, we noticed that the restaurant has QR codes at each table to order, but the waitresses are happy to take orders in person as well. Since they don't supply wifi, that's my preference at any rate. Phnom Penh Special Rice Noodle ($16.95) - I believe this is Phnom Penh's version of kuyteav. Starting with the broth, it's very garlicky and herbal, followed by a somewhat strong fishiness and a milder porkiness. There's plenty of umami and it's also quite sweet with sugar. It's a transparent dark brownish yellow in color with plenty of oily bubbles floating on the surface. The broth is filled with plenty of thin rice noodles, cooked rather firm, but soften quickly in the heat of the broth. Lots of meat is included. There's a piece of squid that's soft and chewy, but not to the point of being overcooked and rubbery. There's ground pork, very flavorful, two fish balls, nice and bouncy, one whole shrimp, two slices of fish cake that are studded with flecks of black pepper, and finally two thin slices of pork. It's a lot of protein for the more voracious appetites. (4/5) Cambodian Sate Beef Noodle ($17.95) - This one's quite interesting. I believe they use the same broth base as above, but then add in a very generous scoop of their chili satay on top. The satay is actually cold when added, but it warms up when mixed into the broth. This adds an extra dimension of shrimpy and peanut umami, full of aromatics simmering in a chili oil base. When added to the broth, it's not too spicy at all. They offer a jar of satay near the other condiments to add to taste. When eaten by itself, the peanut flavors really come out and the heat level is quite a bit more. I'd say the taste profile is very similar to a Chinese shacha sauce mixed with chili crisp. For the noodles, instead of thin noodles, they use a much wider rice noodle. For some reason, the noodles come folded up and bunched together into thicker books. They are definitely on the more cooked side, so are quite tender and soft, although not mushy by any means. They then top the noodles with probably 8 or 9 pieces of thinly sliced beef, added in rare and cooked in the broth. Quite beefy and tasty. (4/5) For both dishes, they offer bean sprouts and lime wedges to add into the broth. The soup isn't hot enough to really cook the bean sprouts, so they remain raw and crunchy. Overall, Phnom Penh Noodle House offers some good noodle soups, excellent for the cold and rainy Seattle fall and winter. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

The restaurant is super clean and the staff are great. They have great menu options with appetizers, noodle soup (dry option available) and many more to choose from. For the noodle soup you can choose from egg or rice noodles, both come in thin or wide noodles. We ordered #1 Phnom Penh noodle #9 Foursome beef #18 Mee Katang crispy noodles and couldn't leave without dessert! Mango sticky rice

I've been craving katiew Phnom Penh and I finally got my fix. I'm very happy that this restaurant is still around. Very nostalgic because back in my undergrad years at UW, my friends and I would go to the original location every Wednesday for lunch. I always got the Loc Lac, Mee Katang or Phnom Penh Special Noodles. I also love the Samlaw Machou when sharing. I have to say the menu hasn't changed much and I hope they never do. This place has a very special place in my heart and the community. Please support them. They've gone through a journey and getting to re-open really help add diversity of cultures in the CID and the greater Seattle community.

Cambodian satay noodle soup   10. Cambodian Saté Beef Noodle
Davie S.

Food comes out very quickly. Got the Cambodian Satay noodle soup. Soooo good. Not spicy. Just very tasty. Might satisfy someone looking for phở. Lots of street parking. Also a bike rack right outside. Anyone who grew up in an Asian environment will feel right at home with the uncle's walking about. Seating areas are very clean and tidy. No loud music. Just the sound of people enjoying their food and conversations. Dawn was amazing. Made it feel extra homey. So friendly and helpful. Thank you!! Now it hurts to walk.

2. Vegetarian Noodle Soup
Diana C.

We got delivery so I can't speak to the ambiance. The service as far as I can note was good because everything was labeled and carefully packaged so it didn't spill or leak, even when the delivery driver tipped over the wings in the bag. The food was all delicious and they have lots of vegetarian (and vegan for some) options on the menu, which was why I chose them. Super tasty and would definitely go in person next time too!

A1. Phnom Penh Chicken Wings
German V.

I absolutely love this place. It's a small family restaurant that's been around for approximately 30 years. It shows in the attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff. I've gotten their noodle soups and other noodle dishes, however my favorite remains to be the Chicken Wings. They're super crispy, and the crispy crunchy ends remind me of chicharrón. The sauce is spicy yet sweet. I love my food scorching hot and the plate is always just that. The consistency remains the same every time. I go every Monday and the owners remember me and my order. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. You will not go wrong

Wings
Katherine G.

I tried the wings here as part of the CID food walk - they were some of the tastiest wings I've had! While I would say the quality of the wing itself wasn't the best (they were kind of small and dry), the sauce made up for it entirely. It was the perfect sweet-savory glaze with plenty of green onions to enjoy with the chicken. We got to see a bunch of people dining and ordering all the noodle dishes as well which looked really appetizing - I will have to be back to try those!

Foursome Beef Noodle
Louise F.

So good! Came here for a super late lunch but they were really great and diligent even at the weird mid afternoon hour. I figured the cambodian tea would bsically be a thai tea but it's definitely different and distinct in a bery yummy way. The wings were also fantastic - sauced but still crispy in a flavorful, texturally fantastic way. And the foursome beef noodle was rich, warming, and so soothing. Great noodles, meat, and broth.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We stopped here for lunch, and I was a bit hesitant at first. We were seated and I was told they no longer serve their cocktails, which was disappointing. They still have beers, but that's about it. We started with ordering some appetizers: we ordered their pork bun baos and their pork spring rolls. Both were decent, but okay. It made me not have any expectations for what was about to come next. Their Meekong burger is a fusion burger, yet, it was completely authentic. Their meat patty has the texture and taste of nem nuong and they use the actual pickled vegetables from a banh mi sandwich. We have their pickled lettuce and daikon, amidst the banh mi mayonnaise sauce. It was absolutely a banh mi sandwich contained into a little American burger. Again, seldomly so I praise Vietnamese restaurants since I can get authentic food at my mom's house. Yet, this burger absolutely knocked my socks off. Delicious and amazing! A must try for visitors.

Fortunately I was in the SLU/South Queen Anne area, but I can totally seeing it being really difficult to find parking when it gets really busy during peak hours. The only parking options nearby are streetside parking with some paid lots - would recommend public transportation to get here to try the place out. Service was fast - this could also be attributed to going on a weekday, we were able to receive our food in about 8 - 10 minutes after ordering. Ambiance is cozy, feels like a casual dine in with lots of natural lighting and the decoration is charming. We got two items, which I'll review down below: Granny's Pork Belly Baos ($8): A tasty bun! The pork was tender and was nicely complemented by the slightly tart apples and floral plum sauce. The buns were light and fluffy and the green onion and cilantro provided a fresh herb taste. I think that $4 per bun is pretty standard price wise for two buns of this quality, and they service a pleasant appetizer. Village Bowl ($16): The Village Bowl is a vermicelli bowl that has all of the fixings - serves as a nice sampler into the types of meats that the restaurant has to offer. It was delicious! The meats were not too heavily salted, flavored well, and were cooked nicely. Portion-wise is decent and would maybe fill most people up. I think that maybe a little larger was would be perfect as I still left a little bit hungry after this bowl and an appetizer. I would say that Meekong Bar is pretty solid if you are looking for Vietnamese food in the SLU/upper belltown area. I think the thing that Meekong Bar has going for it is mostly the price, as other Vietnamese restaurants in the area charge much more ($4 - $6 more) for the same dishes. I would definitely come back to try the other options that this restaurant has to offer.

I requested prawns only, which they accommodated. Served with a side of fish sauce in a squeeze bottle, the server said to apply all over the dish. He also said this is his favorite dish. The food has very good wok hei like a Hong Kong noodle dish. I had plenty of noodles left to make a second dinner after adding veggies and protein. Beef Skewers, $18 - 4.5 Stars Five good size skewers with a dallop of pickled veggies. The seasonings are very distinctive. Oddly, the flavor reminds me of some Chinese style beef jerky. In any case, these are smoky, savory, and yummy. Papaya Salad, $16 - 4.5 Stars They use all the real, authentic ingredients here, including bits of tiny baby crabs. Be careful if you have sensitive gums. Sugar Cane Juice, $7 - 3.5 Stars I would think sugar can juice are all quite similar, but they are not. I didn't like theirs as much for some reason. It was a bit murkier. I probably won't order this in the future. Coconut Coffee, $7 - 5 Stars Our server recommended this. Coconut and coffee sound weird together, but this drink is a winner. Very unique, a touch of sweet, potent like a Viet coffee, and very distinctive. Thumbs up. They are probably closer to 4.5 Stars. Rounding up to support a family business.
