    Seafood soup and #1 signature dish
    Julie C.

    A family owned Cambodian business opened since 1985. The food is excellent and the employees working are wonderful. I chose to try their signature dish and noodle soup (both wet and dry). My favorite is enjoying the broth with the dry noodle. The inside is very homey and family friendly.

    1. Phnom Penh Noodles (House Special)
    Bao L.

    Such a delicious and satisfying meal! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The dry noodles were especially good -- perfectly seasoned with generous portions of meat, shrimp, fresh herbs, and crispy garlic on top. The noodles with pork intestines were also excellent, tender and full of flavor.

    15. Student Noodle, 21. Mo's Special Rice Porridge, 2. Mo's Special Noodles

    My friends and I came on a Friday during lunch and we waitlisted around 1hr early. We got there and parked and ended up just waiting 10 minutes in person. The restaurant is very lively and homely! We ended up ordering a Student Noodle, Mo's Special Noodle, and Mo's Special Porridge. All were extremely flavorful and full of texture. The Student Noodle was on the sweeter and savory side, which was a good balance. The porridge was so hearty I wish I could eat it everyday. The garlic fish sauce is a great pairing with all dishes. Portions are big and totally worth it to share among the table. Highly recommend this! Cambodian food is definitely a rarer cuisine to find, so this is definitely a must try if you are ever in Long Beach!

    It was our first time here and the noodles were good! We ordered #1 and #3. You can order a small bowl, which was a perfect size for us. The service was great. Parking is street parking. It can be a long wait, so make sure you do the Yelp waitlist if you can. I didn't know there was a Yelp waitlist till we got there, but luckily, we got seated right away. Come early if you want to beat the line.

    First time trying Cambodian food with my gf, and we were very happy with what we got!l The food is delicious. Service was nice and straightforward. It is located in its own little corner, so parking is whatever's available (street parking, also only reason why I took a star off). But definitely worth it if you want rich and soothing flavours. The place itself can be pretty crowded, so be prepared for lines if ever. We went on a sunday with other people so there were like 3 or 4 other groups ahead of us. But they have benches outside for you to wait at. Would come back if we're ever in the area again for sure

    Popped in for breakfast and checked out their 'dry' noodles (bone broth on the side). Delicious, high protein, low fat. Don't forget to take the bone out of the bowl to get to the meat! Parking tight but I snagged a spot close by!

    3. Beef & Meatballs Noodles
    Lillian H.

    The broth in the beef and meatball noodle dish was so authentic. They offer you a few types of noodles that you can get in the soup like the thick noodles or small rice noodles without an extra charge. I got the big rice noodle and it paired well with the soup. The me-ka-tang was also very saucy and flavorful. And the bread sticks were hot and fresh. It does get really busy in this restaurant so try to join the waitlist earlier in advance!

    Amy T.

    As a Cambodian myself, this was a hit! The noodles was not too oily, flavorful, and cooked very well. I was skeptical about how light the noodles itself looked but it was yummy. The pork broth soup was tasty and simple. In addition, I also got Thai tea that's not in the photo it was ok. Also keep in mind it's Very cramped and small inside. Get on the waitlist if you can.

    It's been quite awhile since my last review but our visits here have tailed off after our daughter's graduation. Still worth the drive to Long Beach to get our fill of very good Cambodian food that I've yet to find up north. Parking was still a challenge and I dropped the family in front of the restaurant first so they can join the waitlist. This time I could only find a spot a few blocks away but by the time I walked back to the restaurant, the family got seated. The menu still had the same great options and prices but starting June 1st prices will be increasing. Definitely understandable in this inflationary environment. My favorite every time has been the loat cha with chicken such that the family knows never to ask what am I getting. We've tried the rest of the menu but the family has standardized on their noodle soups or rice porridge bowls. You can count on lots of ingredients, choices of noodles and rich tasting broths. The cha quai (bread stick) must also be ordered as the perfect pairing for dipping. We also ordered the nom sa-kieu (like a fried meat empananda) again and will continue. We ended our meal with a round of iced coffees for the table, strong and delicious. Not bitter at all. Hopefully we'll be back sooner than later.

    Came here on a Saturday morning right before lunch time and we definitely beat the lunch hour rush. They have limited street parking so I would definitely circle around to find some street parking. They have an ipad outside to sign up if it starts to get busy. We ordered the pork noodle (you have the option to do it wet or dry-we chose dry) and the beef noodle soup. The dry noodles come with a side soup as well. My husband really liked the dry noodles since it was well seasoned. The beef noodle soup (with combo noodle types) was good as well. The soup seems very clean and rich with flavor. I would prefer to have some sort of pickled serrano peppers though to give it a citrus and spicy taste to balance out the savory soup. We also got some fried donuts which paired well with the soup. Very quick service and the food came out quick. Definitely a mom and pop shop but with a good amount of indoor seating as well.

    Holy moly! My friend and I were craving a savory hot noodle soup breakfast and we stumbled upon this place, and I was blown away. INCREDIBLE dishes - we got the dry noodle dish which came with a bone broth on the side, and Mo's special porridge with the donut. I need to have this again. Plenty of self-service sauces/condiments on the side- traditional Asian eating. It was busy but service was reasonable. The staff were friendly in helping us choose what to order. It was such a nice time. Plenty of street parking around. It's cozy and traditional, what more can you ask for?

    When you walk in, it instantly smells amazing. Like actually so good it makes you even more excited to eat. We were seated immediately, but I know this place usually has a long wait. We came around 11 am and definitely beat the rush. They also have an online waitlist, which is nice. Parking is a little tough since it's street parking and the area can get pretty busy with traffic. The food was sooo good. I got the house special with the soup on the side, and the soup was incredible. I literally could not stop drinking it. So flavorful and comforting. For the noodles, I chose the thick egg noodles and the texture was perfect. The seasoning was on point too. They also have all these extra sauces at the table and they make everything even better. I loved adding the vinegar with peppers, it gave such a good kick. Overall, I can totally see why this place is so popular. Definitely worth coming early for!!!! I cant wait to come again and trying something else.

    Kelly T.

    Food- DELICIOUS! I got the number 3 which is their beef & beef meatball kathiew and it just like how yeay would make it! The broth is to perfection, beef is soft, and flavorful! Service- faster, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance- from the outside it looks small inside, but when you go inside it's very spacious! It feels very homey

    Is there outdoor sitting? Is it pet friendly?

    No outdoor seating nor pets allowed inside.

    Do they got a table for 20 ? Heard that this place was good

    Space is limited. Depending on table availability, they'll try to seat your party close to each other but in separate tables.

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / June 8, 2023

    When I went there last month, I did not see any outdoor sitting at all

    Is there gluten-free option?

    No gluten free options

    Do they deliver?

    They sure do! They do deliveries through UberEats and other services as well.

    Can I get the Student Noodles and the Loat Cha WITHOUT peanuts?

    Yes.

    If one person check in waiting list, usually how long have to wait ? Do you give the sit in order or more people wait first?

    I haven't been there for few months, but normal wait time during weekend is between 15 - 30 minutes when there is a line (around breakfast or lunch time). Can be shorter during weekdays or down time. The line order is first come-first serve, but… 

    Is your dining area open now?

    Yes.

    Hello, what type of broth is used for the noodle soups? Interested in trying the shrimp or chicken noodle soup but I don't eat pork.

    Hi, the broth is made out of chicken bone, pork bone, and beef bone all combined together.

    Any gluten free options?

    I don’t think so but call and check.

    Do they accept debit or credit or cash only?

    They accept credit cards

    Are they open only on Tues and Wed?

    We will Open this coming Tuesday. Standard hours of operation.

    Is there a wait if you go exactly at 7 am on a weekend?

    There is no wait.

    Does the restaurant only open Sat and Sun ONLY? The website said open tue - sun and close on Monday?…

    Sorry for any confusion. The website is not up to date. We’re currently having maintenance issues. We’re in the process of fixing it now. We will be up and running to normal standard times starting this Saturday, March 16th.

    Curious to know if they offer any veggie options/dishes...?

    Actually, my husband and I ate there about a month ago, and they did offer him some veggie options. I don't exactly remember what he had but, he's vegan and had no problem eating there.

    Does the soup have MSG?

    Yes, but very light.

    Does anyone know What's fit bow?

    A fit bowl has shredded white meat chicken, Chinese broccoli, cilantro, a boiled egg, and roasted garlic, served on top of your choice of wide or thin egg noodles. You can have it with soup broth with it, or with the soup broth to the side with a…

One more noodles dish was the Drunken Noodles, it's kinda like Chinese Chow Fun, but has a more spicy flavor and basil in it. The food was all pack and bagged for me to take back to the hotel. We used my room since I have a bigger room. We had plates and set ups for all five of us and we re-plated the food on the serving plates that came with the room. All the food was really tasty and everybody was happy not to have to leave the hotel. I heard compliments on the Pad Thai and the Coconut soup. It was a good idea just to do take out and eat at the hotel here.

There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.

Great service and great portions which surprised me as usually the quality places give you small portions especially when they are rated by Michelin Stars. But they live up to them and they have two.

The place is bright and cheery and the only draw back was the MOST uncomfortable steel chairs that dig into your hips and back, if you are more than a size 2. No joke. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat (especially the men folk) because you can't sit/slide back into the chair and that's a big no no in dining. What were they thinking? Who tried these chairs out before buying them, a tweensy elfin person? And I saw several ppl squirming in their chairs like I was so it wasn't just my big butt either. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But back to the food...my goodness the flavors were so spot on and well sauced everything...deep umami and layered depth of flavor because, this chef knows what they are doing back there. WOW!

The chili lime sauce topped with fried shallots is what makes this soooo delicious! If you're an oyster fan, definitely order this. 10/10. Fried Enoki Mushrooms- First time ordering these and we loved them! Perfectly fried with just the right amount of crunch. Definitely ordering these again. Khao Soi w/ Shrimp Tempura- Guys. Trust me when I say they make the BEST khao soi here! We've tried it with different proteins before, including soft shell crab and tofu. This was our first time getting it with shrimp tempura and it was equally delicious! Deep Fried Branzino- I've been wanting to order the whole fish here and we finally did. Perfectly fried and the apple dipping sauce was such a good match. Delicious dish! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a fan of Thai food. There's a reason we keep coming back!

    This was one of the best ramen spots we tried during our Long Beach trip…read more The tonkotsu ramen had a rich, creamy broth that wasn't overly salty, and the noodles had a great texture. The chashu was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt well balanced. The pork rice bowl was just as good and is worth ordering if you're hungry. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. It isn't the cheapest bowl of ramen, but the quality makes it worth it. If you're looking for good ramen in Long Beach, HiroNori is an easy recommendation.

    Went to this place for dinner, 5pmsh. Heard so many good things about this place. Greeted and…read moreseated to our table. Room temperature was a bit warm, ac was not kicking in. It was 90 degrees outside, hoping that inside would be in the 70s which was not the case. Made our stay uncomfortable. Regardless, ordered 2 Ramen bowls, pork and chicken flavor. Also ordered a pork bun. Watermelon cucumber flavor water was served as complimentary. Was refreshing! 15 mins later we received our soups and pork bun. All tasted very good! No complaints toward the quality of food being served. I asked our waitress if this restaurant still had a Michellin star rating? Her response, I dont know and I think so. I asked her to check with her manager, she came back 5 minutes later and stated her Manager does not know the answer as well. I find that quite odd Hmmmm .. Overall the food quality is great. The negative things on my visit are. 1. It was warm inside the restaurant which made it uncomfortable. 2. Only one small restroom 3. Prices are a tad on the expensive side. $19 to $20 a bowl. 4. I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.

I have been a customer of Nick's 40+ times at minimum. However, they really need to start adding more salads to their menu. The traditional Nick's menu is good, it's very solid. I am a big fan of their filets, petit bistro salad, steak salad, and fish. None of those should be cut! But there needs to be, at minimum, one to two more entrée salad options. Quinoa is great, but doesn't work for everyone. Even just one or two added entree salads would make it much more enticing to return, especially for mixed gender groups. Ideally, the chef could rotate this salad through new concepts seasonally. No need for new menus, just do a specials card. If that's not possible, then one or two permanent salad items to cater to the health foodies would be AMAZING. The main issue is that the Nick's menu lacks innovation, which makes it hard to bring business partners or friends there on repeat visits. I wouldn't be so bothered except that the last time I went to Nick's I added chicken to a salad and they gave me a very poorly prepared piece of low quality chicken with three mouthfuls of bone and gristle. I can accept a stagnant menu if it is always prepared excellently, but I can't accept an inconsistent preparation and stagnant menu. Thank you to everyone at Nick's. Appreciate you all a lot.

We've been coming here for years and this is our favorite spot for consistently good pho compared to other places in Long Beach. Highly recommend! He ordered well done beef brisket pho. He absolutely loved it! And I ordered ribs pho. To my surprise, the ribs were incredibly tender (which at other places it's not lol) and the portion size was wonderful I got 3 juicy ribs!! But, this place has always been very consistent about their quality, freshness, and cleanliness!

    I normally don't write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this place. Especially because…read morethe reviews for this place are so amazing I was so excited to try it. I got the pad Thai and a Thai iced tea. The pad Thai was the strangest tasting pad Thai I ever had. Normally pad thai has a little sweetness to it that I was looking forward to tasting but this was way off. The best way to describe it is if you're supposed to add sugar, they put salt instead. It was also really saucy. I couldn't finish it because it just was not good. The Thai iced tea on the other hand was SO sweet I couldn't finish that either! And I like sweet things and I've never not liked a Thai iced tea so to not even be able to finish half my drink says a lot. It was probably the worst Thai iced tea I've ever had. The only reason why I gave it a 2 star instead of 1 was because the lady who was serving us the food was very nice and friendly. Maybe the other items on the menu are better but if you're ordering the two things I got please be aware they don't taste like they do at other Thai places!!
