"Webster Street has no shortage of casual options, but none have a gravitational pull like Phnom Penh House. The Cambodian spot, which moved to Alameda from their original location in Oakland, excels at shareable entrees that lean hard into combinations of smoky, salty, and sweet. One dish that you won’t be able to stop piling onto your plate is the traop ang, a heap of grilled eggplant topped with saucy ground pork, shrimp, and what feels like an entire head of garlic. It’s also never too packed, so walk right in for an easy lunch or last-minute midweek dinner. photo credit: Julia Chen" - Julia Chen
