Cheng Heng Restaurant

The Best Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"Tucked into a petite stone building on University Avenue in St. Paul, Cheng Heng is a mainstay of the Frogtown neighborhood’s food corridor. Cambodian restaurants are relatively few and far between in the Cities’ robust Southeast Asian restaurant scene, and owners Kunrath and Kevin Lam, who have won a slate of awards from local newspapers and magazines, take up the mantle well. Try the kor koo noodle soup, brewed a fiery red in Cheng Heng’s kitchen, or the machu angkor, made with winter squash, pineapple, and lotus stems. Save room for the thuck kaw chuew (beans nestled under sweetened condensed milk and crushed ice)." - Eater Staff
