Cash only hole-in-the-wall in Philly's Cambodia Town, very similar to some other restaurants in the area. Hours are a little all over the place, and sometimes the owners close for weeks for vacation, so make sure to call first to confirm opening status. Also even though this is a Cambodian restaurant, the menu includes Vietnamese and the lady who served us spoke Vietnamese - perfect for the rather large local Viet community in Philly!
We all ordered the Phnom Penh rice noodle (for Viet customers, this would be "hu tieu nam vang"). It comes either dry with a small bowl of broth on the side, or with the noodles completely in broth. You can also choose to have only rice noodle, rice & egg noodle, or only egg noodle.
The broth has a nice clean bone aroma, very clear color. The toppings are rich and full of innards which are very traditional. My one wish is that the broth could be saltier in order to balance out with the fresh herbs on the side. However I was very impressed with the size - as of Dec 2022, they charge $13 for S and $16 for L, and even the S is extremely generous.
I'm giving this restaurant a 4 instead of a 5 just because of the umami / salt profile of the broth being less impressive than other local places. However the food is still good, and the portions are generous, so I had a very good experience here. Context here: my family is Vietnamese, and it's really hard to find a decent bowl of "hu tieu nam vang" at a Vietnamese restaurant in the US, so I'm always fascinated by Cambodian noodle restaurants in the US.
