"Pair good conversation with delicious Cambodian food at this Rogers Park spot. It’s more casual than its sister restaurant, Khmai Cambodian, with a less formal space with TVs and a menu that focuses on street food and smaller bites. But it’s clear this restaurant family has strong genes—Kaun Khmai’s dishes are equally delicious. It can get buzzy with servers in colorful Khmer outfits going around slicing into banana leaf bundles tableside, revealing savory Cambodian sausage fried rice, while chatty tables share tamarind wings and crispy catfish with chili sauce, but it’s never too loud that you need to start using your outside voice." - adrian kane, john ringor
