It was my first time having lunch at Angkor Wok, and I enjoyed it. Here are a few reasons why I liked this place, some considerations for customers, and a bit of feedback for the restaurant owners.
Let’s start with the food. All three dishes I ordered were authentic and delicious! The first dish was “KOR TREI,” which featured caramelized catfish nuggets. They were amazing, but I wished they offered an option to add sliced cucumber and mint on the side for an extra charge. This is how it's typically served in most Khmer restaurants back home. Additionally, while the hot iron plate looks impressive, the fish stew sauce splattered a bit on the table, and the sauce hardened into a crust. Ideally, I wanted to scoop that tasty sauce to enjoy with my steamed rice.
The second dish was “SOMLOH MACHU SRAE,” a country sour soup with fish, which came in a small hot pot. It was quite good, and surprisingly, there were no fish bones, which I appreciated.
The third dish was “NGOM SDOV,” a fish and noodle salad that featured a delightful mix of spicy, bitter, sweet, sour, and salty flavors. This dish was packed with flavors, and the fish nuggets were perfectly seasoned and fried.
Since I enjoyed all these fish dishes, my only regret is that I didn't order something different instead of all fish. However, there's always next time!
I recommend ordering ahead and trying different dishes, such as beef, fish, and pork, all at once. I guarantee you’ll love them!
