If you haven't had Cambodian food in Long Beach, where have you been??…read more Phnom Penh has been on my list for quite some time now, and I was stoked to finally get a chance to try. Parking wasn't too bad since there's a good amount of street parking nearby. There's a bit of a wait, especially on the Sunday I went, but Yelp waitlist makes it much better. It's quite small inside, so very understandable. The menu is quite extensive, with a selection of noodle soups and pan fried noodles. We got the chicken student noodles, which came out rather quickly. I loved the texture of the noodles, as they had that bounciness to them. The chicken was cooked perfectly and made for a well-rounded dish.

My friends and I came on a Friday during lunch and we waitlisted around 1hr early. We got there and…read moreparked 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!

I can go on about this place but what's the point, they know their food is amazing. I love me some…read moreThai and finding places that's worth it is hard. 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.

We got this order to go, so I'm not certain how their service is, but I'm glad we finally tried…read moreCharm Siam! First off, their portions are VERY generous! We ended up having left overs for days. We tried the basil eggplant with chicken, the fried pork belly, the drunken noodles with bbq pork (the bbq pork was SO good), tom kha soup with shrimp, and tom yum fried rice with shrimp. The fried rice was next level good. And the tom kha soup was excellent as well. I didn't love the drunken noodles themselves but the bbq pork on the dish was delicious. The fried pork belly was a little too tough to eat but the sauces it came with were both great. And the basil eggplant was solid. Would definitely come back to try some dishes in person like the Khao soi!

Me and my crew just got done with a long day but we still needed dinner. They were pretty tired so…read moreI decided I'd just get some Thai/Chinese take out and bring it back to the hotel. We have full kitchens in all the rooms where we're staying along with plates and all the set ups. The rooms even have dishwashers! So, I found this S T Noodle Bar near by and decided to give it a try. I kinda know what there guys like to eat, so I just ordered a bunch of food. The only request from anybody was for Pad Thai, the most common dish at all Thai restaurants. I GPS my way over and order the food. I was Khao Soy on the menu and I don't see that at too many Thai places that I've been to, so I got an order of that with chicken. Of course, an order of Pad Thai, 2 orders since I have 5 hungry people to feed. Also, I ordered the Thai coconut soup, I think it's called Tom Kha with chicken. 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.

Sounds like simple common dishes, but I have to brag about how delicious their food is...so far! And portions are appreciated. I've also had their shrimp fried rice which was quite delicious. Tried their beef skewers and they were a bit overpowering for my taste, but they were quite flavorful. Interior design/decor is nothing to brag about, but it's clean. My orders have been to go! Customer service is always excellent! Polite and warm service which makes the ordering process flawless. My goal is to order their Oxtail Noodle Soup and Beef Rib Noodle Soup. Huge recommendation by patrons! This Cambodian gem knows how to treat and cook for their customers. My new go to! Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time. For the most part there is parking available during the afternoon. Enjoy! *Update! On today's visit...I was informed that you can reserve the restaurant for big dinner parties upon request. Nicest people at this restaurant!:)

The place is just okay. The food lacked flavor and…read moreingredients. The portions are small. & it was hot as hell in there! No AC or fans on. I ordered the beef and meatball noodle soup. Very appealing to the eyes, the taste not so much. One meat ball cut in half & 5 pieces of sliced beef. Very underwhelming. The bowl was on the pricer side at $15.99 . Just meh. The Chicken porridge had good flavor they just used a cheap cut of drumsticks for the protein. Which was really chewy. $13.99 Last but not least was the salt and pepper squid. Do not order. The amount you receive for the price of $13.99 is not with worth it. Just a few measly strips of squid. You'll be left hungry afterwards . I usually love giving mom and pop shops my business if its worth it. All in all the food was lacking. I'd skip this place. 3 stars for the good service .

My go-to orders are either the Cornish hen with curry rice or the chicken satay skewers. If you get the Cornish hen, I definitely recommend the curry rice, and with the chicken satay, try the coconut rice -- it's so good. The flavors are rich, savory, and honestly hard to describe until you try them. The portions are pretty generous for the price, and the service has always been friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a cozy, casual atmosphere with plenty of seating, and parking was easy when I went. It's also conveniently located right by the university. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving good Indonesian food. I'll keep coming back!

Off the special menu, the radang was very yummy and more hearty than the Borneo plate. The Laksa noodle soup was full of substance with a rich, creamy broth.

If this establishment was here when I attended CSULB, I would have come often!

Service was kind and quick throughout lunch, and it definitely feels like a local Cambodian family run business. Interior is clean, and they have a parking lot although I can see it getting filled up. This is my first time trying Cambodian cuisine, and definitely left wanting more in the future! Rice is not free with their entree/shared items. I wish it were included with shared meat/vegetable items. Beef Lok Lak ($20, 9/10) - good portion size! Shared between four guys, and it felt like enough. - meet itself is super flavorful, chopped into small chunks, and serves a fantastic balance of savory yet sweet - served with sides of tomato, cucumber, lettuce, lemon, dipping salt and pepper Student Noodle ($15, 8/10) - delicious! This almost felt like a mix of Vietnamese Noodles + Thai Pad Thai. the Pad Thai comes from the savory/sweet flavor profile along with bean sprouts and green onions. They also provide a Syed sauce that is very similar to the Vietnamese, pungent flavor, dipping sauce for their eggrolls. - super great dish, Fantastic flavors Overall, really enjoyed the spot! Felt that the prices and portion sizes were reasonable, and a great introductory to Cambodian cuisine (kinda like Viet + Thai mix). Wish that rice were included with some of the entrée options. Parking can be a hit or miss, but service was on point.

The staff was friendly, the service was good, and our food came out super quick. Just a heads up, they are cash only, so make sure to bring cash! I ordered the Thai boat noodles , and the broth was really good and flavorful. The meat was also pretty tender. It was nice coming back after so many years, and I'm happy to see that the food is still good!

We've never been before and it was nice. We really wanted to feast it up at the stalls but the lines were so long and it was so hot. Thankfully we found this amazing gem! This place is strictly CASH ONLY. So please come prepared. We came and it was a full mad house. Lines and parking was full I knew that's when we were going to get a great meal. Came with my mom and we DEF ordered more food than we can take on. My mom hasn't had Cambodian food in a while so we def made people wonder why we ordered so much lol Food was so savory and delicious. Seating is limited hopefully they can expand. I think they deserve it as a lot of people raved about their dishes. Service was friendly as well and short staffed due to the holiday. All patrons were really understanding of that. I would def come back again or wishes I wasn't so far so I can DoorDash this!
