Bold Khmer homestyle cooking with lobster, fish, & noodle soup
"There still isn’t a table to be seen before 9 p.m., which is the very latest the writer would consider going to dinner, underscoring how in demand it is." - Bettina Makalintal
"This Cambodian newcomer is already being called an early neighborhood fixture. The crisp whole fish with green mango sauce stands out, along with plea satch ko, a Cambodian beef salad with razor-thin meat that melts in your mouth in a delightfully funky, spicy sauce." - Melissa McCart
"A quickly becoming neighborhood favorite in Crown Heights, this lively spot can be hard to book, though early arrivals can usually snag a counter seat. The shared plates-style menu of Cambodian cuisine makes it a good bet for a group." - the MICHELIN Guide
"A Cambodian restaurant in Crown Heights that made the James Beard semifinals for Best New Restaurant. It’s also identified as one of Eater’s best new restaurants of 2025." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A visit right after we named it one of our Best New Restaurants in America confirmed the hype: plates land with fiery, pungent Khmer flavors. The fall menu overhaul shines in the Crabbage ($25), sauteed napa cabbage in a roux‑like sauce that reminded me of the Chinese cooking I grew up with, studded with loads of crab meat and Sichuan peppercorn for an extra punch; while Mama Kim’s lobster remains, I wouldn’t sleep on these newer additions." - Nadia Chaudhury
