Naga Cafe Khmer Street Food

Randomly decided to come here with friends. And was not disappointed. I got the poached chicken and it was good. The soup that came with it was delicious too. My friends got the beef skewers and THAT is the dish to get. Ended up ordering take out for my bf on my way out and got him the beef skewers. Secretly for myself as well. Service was quick. Zero issues. Ample seating and clean.

The meat was a bit salty for my taste. Thai tea was extremely sweet. Great customer service.

I'm so glad my girlfriend took me here! Very unsuspecting place, but I liked every bite I had! She wasn't quite satisfied with the skewers, but it being my first time, the only thing I could compare it to were most of the Chinese skewer places in the SGV that all have Uighur-inspired seasonings and no variety and are much smaller compared to this place, so I couldn't complain about this place at all! I thought it was already a step above what I'm used to already! Their green tea milk tea was a little weak on the green tea part compared to the milk, but otherwise, not bad!

One of the best Khmer food I have had in a while! For about $20 dollars, I got a bowl of Phnom Penh Noodles with a side of Chaquai (fried bread stick). The noodles were warm and flavourful with lots of fresh meats and vegetables. The chaquai was very crispy on the outside and fluffy on tbe inside. We also got a side of Naga Wings which was very crispy, juicy, with a sweet chili sauce. The servers were patient and respectful. This may be my go-to for Cambodian noodles in Cali.

So good! I get the beef skewer sandwich! I’m honestly addicted to this sandwich! Crispy warm baguette, delicious marinated beef with pickled veggies. Must try!

The food and service was exceptional along with the ambiance. It was nothing fancy, but was clean and rus-tic. It was our first time eating Cambodian food and it was full of flavour. We had the House Noodle and Beef Rice which the 3 beef skewers were full of flavour. The service person took the time to educate us on the difference of Vietnamese and Cambodian food. Highly recommend this place!

Good small business with affordable prices. I enjoyed the flavor on the skewer; not to sweet and not to tart. The rice paired well with the beef. That side veg was pallet cleansing along with that tomato slice and cucumber.

Delicious food at this mom and pop place. Had the combo grilled beef stick and rice. And I would definitely order it again. I believe they do mostly take out business. It's in an odd location and the tables are not the most inviting or clean. But the lack of atmosphere and sitting is well made up by the value and taste. I would highly recommend it. And I'm all about supporting small business that do their job well.

The food here is incredibly flavorful. Try the beef skewer plate, the chicken porridge and the Phnom Penh house special. The Thai iced tea is so good with the good ice. They also have Clearly Canadian in glass bottles. The service is friendly and it's cute inside but you can also just take it to go.

Amazing food that I happened to find and stop by. I was hungry and the food came out so fresh, tasty, and juicy! The bbq pork rice plate and the beef sandwich were tender and charred to perfection. The older man there is so sweet! I don't know if he runs the whole joint by himself but he's incredibly fast with the cooking. And this is random, but they have the best Thai iced tea I've ever had in SoCal. It's worth noting! Don't forget to bring cash so they don't have to pay the credit card fees!

I'm not too familiar with Cambodian food aside from Battambong Bbq, so I was excited to try more Cambodian food here. My husband and I decided to get the Bbq skewers and the Poached Chicken. The bbq skewers were very flavorful. You get three sticks with rice and pickled veggies. The Poached chicken with the broth on the side, with pickled veggies and salad was great as well. I really liked the broth that came with it. The store itself is small, but has a large table for seating as well as 2-3 smaller tables. We came around 5:30p on a Friday and it wasn't busy at all. Service was friendly and restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back to have more beef skewers and to try some other dishes.

Found this restaurant randomly while up in Long Beach! I took it to go, but did have a very pleasant interaction with the staff when I went to go pick up my order. The actual food was very flavorful and delicious!! I loved the side of chili crunch. Everything tasted fresh. I also appreciated there was ample parking.

This is my go to for my Khmer cravings! I love the service, the coffee and the food! Chicken wings are amazing! Crispy and juicy not greasy! The sweet and spicy one are The sandwiches, and rice dishes are so good!

Beef skewers, chicken porridge, and BBQ Pork sandwich were all so delicious, ingredients were fresh and serving sizes were great! I'd definitely return here to try their other dishes :)

I came here with a appetite for some Of their sausages . I was happy to get this and it's a sour treat for me. I will have to get more later or find a place where they sell this sausages because I just can't get enough. The service is as fast as can be. And the place looks clean with space to chill for a group of friends.

First time here! It's a small, mom-and-pop style place. I came around 3 PM and it wasn't busy. I ordered two porridge dishes and a BBQ rice plate. The Khmer-style porridge is a bit different from Chinese-style porridge -- the rice is more formed, but it's pretty tasty! I'll definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu. (FYI: there's a 4% surcharge for credit card payments.)

Ordered Uber Eats for lunch on a Monday and was very impressed with the food. Everything was super fresh and tasted incredible. We ordered beef skewers, an order of wings, and the chicken sandwich. The beef skewers and wings were SOO freaking good. The wings were the real hit. Had a perfect spice level to them as well. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone wanting some Cambodian street fare!

This place is my absolute favorite when I want a nice filling rice plate. I never wrote a review because I the food is so good I always eat the whole plate before I can take a picture! Yes.... that's how delicious it is. I get the beef skewer plate that comes with rice, THREE skewers, and a papaya/carrot salad. I emphasized three because they are big skewers that are charred to perfection. I always order through the phone and pay when I pick it up. They are pretty quick by the time I get there it's already ready.The people who work there are so nice and friendly every single time. I've tried a variety of their drinks like the peach and mango flavored teas before which are sweet and refreshing, this time I tried their thai tea which is on the stronger side but still enjoyed it. Also another thing that I absolutely love about the beef skewers plate is putting the chili oil that they have, it's nothing like I've tried in the stores or anywhere else, it's a perfect balance of spice to add to the skewers (they always add it when I take it to go which I appreciate). I'm already thinking about the next time I'm going here, trust me you will love this place as much as I do!

I enjoyed their sweet and spicy wings and also their Parmesan cheese wings so I have probably eaten here about four times maybe five but this is all I order is their wings have a very unique and very good taste to them

I think about this BBQ pork sandwich often. I split it with my boyfriend but now I wish I had bought 1 for each of us. I've also tried the beef skewer plate, which was tasty as well! The meat was tender, flavorful, and plenty for the price. The salad that came with it was a nice contrast to the fatty meat. This Mom n Pop shop has friendly service, decent parking, and a casual laid back atmosphere. Prices were worth the portions. Would come back again!

If you love a good Vietnamese banh mi - the Cambodian sandwich here is a close cousin. The bbq pork is very good, and plenty of cilantro makes it. The picked veggies are a bit weak, but still pretty good. The egg rolls are very nicely browned and really crunch. But the filling is almost gummy. It appears to be standard cabbage/veggie filling, but it's just a weird texture. Still tasty. I would eat them again. I may not be a regular, but I would come back occasionally if I lived in the area.

Wanted to try out some Cambodian food so decided to stop by Naga Cafe. I did the Phnom Penh noodle and my friend got the BBQ pork Khmer sandwich. The Phnom Penh noodles were a bit small considering it was around $17. Still, the soup noodles were tasty and they satisfied my craving. My friend enjoyed their sandwich and the bread looked really crispy. I would recommend to stop by and support this local business, whether take-out or dine-in. It looks like this place is popular for takeout.

Great little shop serving some of the best beef sticks in Long Beach! They're very flavorful and tender. I've been to a few other places and they're always so tough so this is place is highly recommended by me! They also service sandwiches which I'd really like to try sometimes (but I always just default to the beef sticks haha) It's owned by a Cambodian family which I think is absolutely awesome. They are always so friendly and very nice when ordering and picking up food. They are a small crew though so it may be slow to take your order and prepare your food. Be patient, but worth it in my opinion.

Food Fried chicken sandwich - As good as it gets, balanced and fresh with the crispy chicken thigh. The bread is perfection. Soft but a slightly crispy top. A tiny bit more spice would be good but that's just me. One of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. 4.8/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 3/5 - too hot.

I ordered the beef sandwich and honey milk tea and both were so delicious. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and it didn't disappoint. The workers were very kind and willing to help. I loved checking out the Khmer art/photography while waiting for the food. I'm excited to try more of their menu!

Perfect for on-the-go good eats. The beef skewers were well-seasoned and juicy. It was tender and lean. They did not skimp on the skewers. It is a really good value for the quality they give you. The plate was the perfect size for lunch and it came with rice and pickled vegetables. The location is in a plaza so parking will not be an issue. The food was made quickly.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good food, but not great for espresso drinks or vegetarians. I've been meaning to try this place for a while, and stopped in to get an early lunch to go. The space was pleasant and cute, looking very much like most newly-built or renovated fast-casual places. At about 11am I was the only person in there. I ordered the buttered herbs prawns sandwich and a latte to go. There seemed to be only one older guy working at the time and he didn't seem very confident about the "latte" part, asking me if I'd rather have an iced Vietnamese-style coffee. While I normally love those too, I was in the mood for a hot latte. Perhaps I should've taken the hint. The coffee, while coffee, was definitely not what I would call a latte. The sandwich, however, was large and delicious, filled with plump, buttery shrimp (breaded, but ok) in a crusty baguette with the usual banh mi-style accompaniments. I'm sure their other food is great, too--I'd be down to try some of their other pescatarian items, but there really isn't anything for vegetarians/vegans so the hubby wouldn't be able to join. I understand that restaurants are not obliged to be everything to all people, so this review is just from my particular perspective.

Came in to dine in. This is definitely a to go spot where you place an order ahead and come pick up. Coming to dine in is not a good experience. We waited very long to get our food. The inside was stuffy and felt hot. My family was very uncomfortable. One cashier and one cook in the back were very busy with phone pickup orders that the tables weren't clean. The food finally came out and the wings were good tasting but most places that serve wings taste good. Main Khmer dishes were the beef sticks. These are nice and tender and good flavor , but the rice portion with is very small. Picked papaya is nice. The Phnom Penh noodles were ok. Not bad but not what I hoped. It's good this place is busy with to go preorders. But for my dine in experience, the portion and the PP noodles broth, I don't see my family coming back.

Okay.. imagine this... You just came back from Japan and BOOM you get sick! So you tried everything...tylenol, vitamin c, all the liquids you can get, soup, cough drops, Advil, and NOTHING seems to help. You're super stressed because you were looking forward to this new role at work, but you want to get better as soon as possible. So you end up scheduling a doctor's visit at the nearest Kaiser Permanente off PCH just to leave disappointed that the doctor said you have allergies(what?!) Your husband asks if you're hungry, but you say you don't have an appetite to eat, you also feel bad because your husband is hungry after taking you to your doctor's and dealing with your sickness. So you tell him to get something for himself. So he pulls up to Naga Cafe(2 minutes away from Kaiser Permanente Long Beach) super delighted because there is no one in line and after he orders he looks at you and says, "You sure you don't want anything?" However little did he know that the moment we entered Naga Cafe, the aroma of Khmer food suddenly smelled so good that I had an appetite to finally eat. I immediately answered to my husband, "Yes! Please give me the soup and the beef skewer sandwich!" The look on my husband's face was priceless because he was super shocked that 2 minutes ago, I looked super sick and wasn't having it to someone who had so much energy and an appetite. The soup hit the spot especially when you haven't had the appetite to eat and the beef skewer... plate or sandwich or even by itself...YOU HAVE TO GET IT! It is crazy how the meat glistens the moment you pick it up and charred so perfectly. Especially in a sandwich and all the juices are soaked into the bread. My husband loves this place so much that not only does he eat there, but he also orders his lunch for the next day. The 2 gentlemen are the same gentlemen from last time, and the service is always flawless, they are always checking up on their customers. I hope everyone checks out Naga Cafe, and I hope everyone knows how much Naga Cafe made my day that day.

I was around the Long Beach area and had some time to kill so I wanted to yelp something to eat. Naga Cafe was about a block away and it looked promising. Parking was easy. They have a couple of parking spaces in front or near the restaurant. First off, Long Beach knows how to do skewers right and this place represented. I decided to get the beef skewers rice dish. It came with three skewers, pickled veggies, and a scoop of well-cooked rice. You can also get the beef skewers in a Banh mi. The beef skewers were juicy and full of flavors. Certain pieces were a bit too char for me but overall very good. I surely would order this again. The pickled vegetables were okay. The service was great. The man behind the counter was super nice. Overall, try this place out if you're hungering for some delicious beef skewers!

It's a small family restaurant, very basic inside with a few chairs. The service was kind. The food was the highlight for sure. I was surprised with the portion size which was much more than I was expecting. Makes the value for your money worth it. I had the beef kabobs and tasted excellent. If I had one thing to say, I would have like to get a salsa or local sauce with it. Every country usually has a signature salsa/sauce/ slice.

Food: 4/5 the food was delicious!! The pork belly sandwich was very tasty and a must when coming here!! As for the beef skewers it was good but needed some sauce to it, the veggie that came with it needed to be more wet rather than dry otherwise this dish was delicious. Service: the staff was very friendly, approachable and knew what type of dishes to recommend. Ambiance: it's very settle and the decor was cute. It has some pictures of the culture as well as modern textures.

I first was introduced to Naga Cafe a few weeks ago via a Yelp Elite event. I had a fantastic lunch with meat skewers, rice, and a little veggie side. The meat is so tender and lean. So last night as my condo was full with my daughter and her boyfriend fleeing from the smoke in Santa Monica, we wanted take out to watch the Orange Bowl. I suggested Naga Cafe and it was a big hit. They ordered several beef skewers plates and the hainan chicken (not sure if I spelled that correctly) and had it delivered! All went well and the meal was fantastic. My daughter is trying to lower her fat intake and has been avoiding red meat so she was delighted that Naga Cafe's skewers were so lean. Pop in or order take out. Delish!

Parking: Plenty available as most people seem to only come in for pick-up Ambience: Hole in the wall with limited seating, gives small business / homey vibes :) Service: Quick and friendly! Taste: Food seems to be made as you order, but still came out quick and fresh. We got the Phnom Penh noodle (house special), crispy fried chicken Khmer sandwich, and chicken wings. This was one of my first times trying Cambodian food, and the sandwich and noodles reminded me of Vietnamese cuisine in terms of ingredient composition and texture, but with a different flavor profile. Overall, the food was pretty good and I'm glad I got to try a different cuisine!

Randomly decided to come here with friends. And was not disappointed. I got the poached chicken and it was good. The soup that came with it was delicious too. My friends got the beef skewers and THAT is the dish to get. Ended up ordering take out for my bf on my way out and got him the beef skewers. Secretly for myself as well. Service was quick. Zero issues. Ample seating and clean.

Beef skewers rice plate is good. 3 skewers with a lot of meat can feed two if you aren't hungry. The beef has a lot of flavors and I love the pickled veggies that came with it. Plenty of parking. Give them a try!

Wowww! My boyfriend picked this place. I wasn't to sure but so glad we came. I got the beef skewer plate and my boyfriend got the Bbq pork sandwich. We shared both and ohh my we devoured our food! Food was amazing and the service was good! We got some complimentary water which was nice since we didn't even ask! My man is so lucky they aren't open late because damn this is amazing! I don't have photos because it looked to good

Pretty tasty food! I got the shrimp sandwich and the baguette was soooo soft and fresh! The shrimp had a nice fried coating, a bit oily but just the right amount of bite. Hubby got the beef skewers and it was so flavorful, almost like it was smoked with lemongrass to give it a nice herby flavor! Would come back again if I'm in the area!

A small Cambodian Street Cafe that delivers and satisfies your Khmer food cravings. The way the business is setup, you pay after ordering at the cashier and the employees will bring your order to you after you're seated. To anyone traveling to Long Beach that's on to go and wants a quick bite to eat, I highly recommend Naga Cafe. The staff has been very kind every time I've visited.

This shop is cute and quiet with some really tasty food. I came across it while looking for lunch to take to the beach and was craving a banh mi. I had the Kawok and Pork banh mi, as well as the combination fried rice. My partner had to get the pickled veggies too. Everything was very good - a perfect, filling lunch on the beach. The rice was incredibly flavorful on its own, and they also give you chili oil, which is super yummy. The sandwiches are really where the chili oil shines - served on a great bread roll with fresh, crisp veggies. It was perfect to eat up on the grass by the beach. We ordered for pickup, and the service was extremely timely. The food was fresh and delicious.

Although I didn't try the food. I'm leaving this review simply based on the gentlemen's customer service. 10/10z the restaurant looked presentable it wasn't too loud. There was plenty of parking. . Next time I'm going to try the food.

Awesome food and friendly service. The beef skewers are really flavorful and tender and pairs nicely with the slightly pickled veggies. The chicken wings are juicy with a crispy coating and delicious sauce. The guy who took my order is really nice and gave good recommendations. Would definitely come again when I'm in the area.

Small pop shop. Owner seems like a sweet older gentleman. It smelled amazing upon entering. Love that the menu is simplified and straight fwd. fiance never had khmer food so this is one of the few opened late ish. They even have snackies and drinks for sale. Food is made to order FRESH. Flavors are great. If it's someone first time trying khmer food I think this is a great gateway place for introduction. I also love supporting mum n pop shops + cultural recognition. We tried what was pictured + beef noodle soup and everything was delish! We wanna come back and try the rest of the menu. Khmer sandos are not to be missed!! Gotta try one.

Funny story short. I wanted to try the spot near here, but it was closed. That business is closed every Wednesday. Bummer, but I'm blessed to try this spot out. Wow, why didn't I come here sooner. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcoming. The texture, atmosphere, and everything about it felt like home. Tim was very polite and courteous. Gave you time and didn't hesitate to answer questions. Very helpful and informative. He definitely knows his stuff, especially about the neighborhood and past history. Thank you, Tim, you're amazing. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Drink: 1. Vietnamese Ice Coffee A sweet, rich coffee drink involving sweetened condensed milk and strong drip coffee. 2. Fresh Lime Soda Lime Soda crisp & refreshing. Lime soda enriches with niacin, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Main: 1. NAGA WINGS (8) (SWEET & SPICY-JALAPENO-LEMON PEPPER-BUFFALO-GARLIC PARMESAN) 2. BEEF SKEWERS SANDWICH Beef Sandwiches Comes with PICKLED GREEN PAPAYA & CARROTS SALAD CUCUMBER, CILANTRO, JALAPENOS HOME STYLE SPREAD I must admit, I'm blown away with the freshness of this French Baguettes. Very warm, crispy, and soft to every bite. The beef Skewers Sandwich was definitely the right choice. Very juicy, tender, and flavorful. Talking about chicken wings, you know I'm a big fan. Anywhere, it's a must order. NAGA WINGS are super fired! Freshness is in the name. They make to order so, you definitely will enjoy it. It's flavorful, and the sauce was incredibly delicious. Great combo for a good lunch. Im sold. With so many choices on the menus, I will be back to try more. I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

I tried Naga Cafe after a gig in the area. I wish I lived closer, and I will aim to visit again any time I'm in the area. The savory+sweet chicken pastry snack was interesting (in a good way), the coffee was strong, and the fried chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious The café space was cozy, bathrooms were clean, and the men who took my order and served me were friendly.

This place is just right down the street from me. Got excited to see another Cambodian business in my area. Owner greeted me as I entered. He waited patiently as I was being indecisive in what to order. Finally decided on the beef sticks with rice. One of my all time favorite Cambodian dish. Caught by my surprise, it was full of flavors like homemade ones I always eat at Cambodian's parties. Place is small, but nice to do a take out and enjoy your meal at home. Beef sticks were the only thing I've tried, but will return to check out other options on the menu.

Small hole in the wall cafe with excellent food. I recommend the beef skewer plate, it comes with 3 generous skewers of juicy flavorful beef, papaya salad and steamed white rice. Chili crisp & schriacha on the side. I would not recommend ordering from this place... without trying their wings. Honestly the best wings I've ever had! So crispy and flavorful..the lemon pepper wings are my favorite. It is a dry seasoning, as are the parmesan wings and ohhh emmm geeeee, sooo good. I order food for pickup on my way home from the area, and even with the drive home, the wings are still crispy by the time I get home (unpack, change, etc). Highly recommend

Great hole in the wall place! Ordered the house special noodles and it was excellent. The broth was hot, noodles were perfect texture (right amount of chewy) and tons of good stuff inside (fishballs, shrimp, meat) You order at the counter and they bring the food to you once you find a seat. I plan on being back here a lot to try their other dishes too as this was my first time trying Cambodian food.

I love this place. So glad I found it around the corner from Absolute Lagree. The oum's here are so kind. Food is fresh and tasty! Who doesn't love authentic Cambodian food?!? A true Long Beach gem keep supporting them. Everything is reasonably priced. I enjoy the iced coffees as well. Please be patient with their service, as it is small business!

First time trying Cambodian food and everything was delicious!! Highly recommend this cute mom and pop shop. Cash is preferred here but credit cards are accepted :) the skewers were so tasty and it reminds me of those from Singapore ! Very similar and yummy

Super great hole in the wall! So glad I stumbled across it. Ordered takeout and everything was super yummy! Would definitely come back for the skewers and wings. The meat was soo tender and seasoned very well! I can see why it's their most popular menu items. Wings were super tasty, as well. Crunchy with a delicious savory sauce! Their noodle soup was very comforting. Broth is light, like a pho, and packed with lots of protein! Very kind service and didn't take too long to make. Would definitely recommend stopping by!

I've been wanting to try this place for forever, and I was so glad when I did. Their menu has typical Khmer food: rice porridge, noodles, sandwiches, and chicken wings. I got a BBQ pork sandwich, the Naga wings, and a thai iced tea. The BBQ pork sandwich was good, the meat is really flavorful! The Naga wings were recommended because they were popular, and I'm so glad I got them. They were amazing; they were crispy and the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The thai iced tea blew me away. I've had plenty of thai iced tea from different boba shops, different Khmer restaurants, different cafes, but this was the best thai iced tea I ever had. It tastes like the one my mom used to make when I was a child. The service was great! The employees are nice, and they are super helpful. I was able to pay through Zelle because their card machine currently wasn't working. It's quiet in cafe, I'm assuming more people order and take it to-go. They do have plenty of seating if you want to sit down. The decor is beautiful, I loved seeing pictures of Cambodia and the Cambodian dancer. I would come here again, and I would recommend this place to everyone I know!

The beef skewers are SUPER tender and flavorful. I got them twice in a week because they were so good! The BBQ pork sandwich is also amazing! Wings were good as well... they don't miss here! Everything is cooked fresh (you can see into the kitchen!) highly recommend this spot.

The first came here for a Yelp Elite event but returned because it really yummy. I ordered the beef skewer banh mi, naga chicken wings and honey milk tea. The beef skewer meat marinade is so good! Everything was just as yummy as my first time here. Definitely give this place a try!

Cambodian food in Signal Hill, next to the quality inn, with lots of parking. It's a quick service so you order at the register and they bring the food to you. The beef skewers were flavorful and tasted so well. The beef noodle soup was ok, it needs a little extra sauce to kick up the flavor. Broth is good. Nice and good service!

This place is a bit of a hidden gem. The house special pho, bbq pork banh mi, and lemon pepper wings are all amazing. Not too expensive very good food.

One of my favorite things to eat when I'm in the area. That bbq pork is sooo flavorful n has a great grilled taste to it. They are super nice there. Few tables inside for quick dine in. Price is great as well. Rather spend money here than 20 at some McDonald's or panda
