What To Eat At Spice Bridge, A New Food Hall In Tukwila - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday Theary Cambodian Food’s noumm ka ri is another pastry that lives in our minds rent-free. This super flaky dough comes stuffed with a meat and vegetable filling and topped with herbs, fried garlic, peanuts, and dollops of their homemade chile oil (that’s also available for purchase). While it would be easy to eat four noumm ka ri and call it a day, you shouldn’t miss their stuffed chicken wings or lemongrass paste spice chicken patty/meatball combo platter. Both come with fluffy rice wrapped in banana leaves and a side of tangy pickled cabbage and cucumbers." - Carlo Mantuano

Look at this beautiful Cambodian plate 😍 I found this place last week. That was my first time trying their food and it was sooooo delicious!! Since then I had been thinking about their food for whole week and finally I came back today again. I ordered this for to go but I couldn’t wait till get home so I just parked my car on the side opened it and ate it!!!!!! Their food looks so beautiful and tastes amazing. Also they are very kind and friendly. I’m so impressed !! I definitely recommend this place. Thank you for make me and my tummy happy 🙏✨✨✨

What an incredible experience 😊🇰🇭 I got to speak with the owner for a short time and she told me a bit about the history of the Khmer people which I really appreciated. The food was excellent. I was so full and had plenty of leftovers to take home. I'll definitely be back. I highly recommend this place. Keep in mind that this is a small family owned business so be patient as they work through their orders. Enjoy!

We were visiting from Florida and stumbled upon this beautiful place while walking the area from our hotel. We’ve never had Cambodian food so wanted to give it a try. The owner was amazing, so patient with our questions and gave her recommendations for first timers. She explained also the traditional ways of their cooking and doing it homestyle to honor those who taught them and how they grew up. So to the very few comments of a long wait; good things take time. She also made on site fresh cucumber water. The food was amazingly seasoned. The heat was balanced out with fresh cucumbers and pickled veggies. Omg, yes, that was another great part that everything was fresh! The quality, portion & sense of community was mind blowing

Can’t talk this place up enough. At the point where I make the trip down here from Seattle to take people from out of town. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been fantastic, super flavorful. Staff is extremely sweet, definitely a highlight restaurant.

Exactly the kind of place I love to go to! Their food isn't just well priced, but extraordinarily good. Most of the places I've been to have less quality and higher prices, so they won on both of those fronts. Overall, I will recommend anyone that likes Asian food to check them out. They are very friendly and I enjoyed every second of being there. My roommate and I will definitely be going back for more and we are considering making it our regular spot. 10 out of 10!

Delicious food that makes you feel like you're getting that home cooking that we have all been missing since becoming adults. The owner was friendly and helped explain the menu and was very attentive to our needs. Got the combination platter that had a little bit of everything and I ate every last bit of it up because it was just that good. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will be returning in the future!

Fairly small portion for the price. If you want to get full for reasonable price, go somewhere else. Taste is flavorful though. Limited seating space - They only have a few tables

A little hole in a wall that will not disappoint if you're into authentic food with bright flavors! The owner is so sweet and friendly, she took the time to introduce us to Cambodian food and explain about the ingredients that go into making it. The food was so beautifully presented and bursting with flavors. I really enjoyed the kmer spin on the papaya salad, and the beef skewers were so tender and beautifully seasoned. What a treat!

Always a great time being back at Theary's. The owner is extremely passionate about Cambodian cuisine, offering the freshest ingredients and the most flavorful Khmer dishes I've ever had. Every bite is packed with flavor, with unique ingredients like lemongrass also known as Kreung. I got the cha kreung which is fried rice with lemongrass and chicken, it was so good and chicken was so tender. The kouy tiev Khmer noodle with meat and broth was like a stew noodle soup, there was so much meat, combination of sweet and salty, the perfect balance, it was absolutely delicious. I recommend this authentic Cambodian restaurant and it is definitely worth the drive!

We placed a mobile order for pickup, looking forward to trying their food for the first time. Unfortunately, my experience with the pickup process wasn't the smoothest. Due to heavy traffic, I arrived about 30 minutes late, but surprisingly, my order wasn't ready. On top of that, they forgot one item, which I had to point out before leaving. That being said, once we got our food, it was absolutely worth the wait. We ordered the combination plate with one skewer, and it was plenty of food given the generous portion of meat. I really appreciated the variety--it's great to have so many options in one meal. The flavors were spot on, and everything was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Plus, for the amount of food you get, the price is very reasonable. Despite the pickup hiccup, I'm definitely interested in trying more from their menu. Hopefully, the ordering process is smoother next time because the food itself is fantastic!

Theres not of lot of places to get Cambodian food in WA so I was super excited to go ! This is a hole in a wall spot that serves super delicious food. The stuffed chicken was divine and it reminded me of my grandma's cooking ! We got combo #4 and combo #13 ; both were so yummy. The crunchy rice added such a nice touch. It's a small restaurant so not a lot of seating. Service can be slow because they are short staffed ( only one cook when I went ) but I say the food is worth the wait !

When I think of places to eat that has Cambodian food, it is honestly hard to name because there is not that many in the greater Seattle area. This restaurant offers more affordable, fairly delicious Cambodian food in Federal Way, amongst a plethora of Korean restaurants nearby. I drove specifically to eat here, and trust me, it was a worthwhile 1 hour drive down from Seattle. My friend and I shared the combination meal and Noeum Banch Jhok which was way more than enough food. Technically, the combination meal ($28.99) is enough for 2 people, but I was extra hungry and this was my one and only meal for that day. Combination meal features #1-3. The lemongrass beef and chicken meatball is my favorite of the 3, followed by the jumbo stuffed chicken wing. The baked lemongrass coconut quarter chicken is good but not as outstanding as the other two. I really love their extensive and generous use of lemongrass, my favorite herb, and the owner also mentioned that their Cambodian cuisine leverages more lemongrass and less of coconut, which I absolutely do not mind at all. The Noeum Banch Jhok was a noodle dish that is intentionally served lukewarm, with lemongrass and coconut combination. The noodles here are not really vermicelli but still fairly thin, which soaks up the sauces well. There is a hint of fishy flavor with chicken, which is how the ingredients stacked up. This was a great unique dish that I wouldn't really see it that common around the area, so I am happy with trying it. Service is okay (could be better with water served with the first round). Food came out quickly, and the owner is really friendly as we had a nice conversation after our meal as there were no new customers at that time, and there was heavy rain when we concluded our meal. I definitely see myself coming here again, since of the few places I went to that serves up Cambodian food, this one is most affordable and fairly delicious.

Theory puts great thought and enthusiasm into her dishes. She is passionate about sharing her culture's cuisine while also providing healthy food for her customers. If you have time, she'll happily share her goals with you. The freshness is undeniable, and the staff is always kind. Pro tip: You can order ahead to save waiting time, as most dishes are prepared fresh upon order.

If you are looking for authentic Cambodian cuisine, look no further. Theary offers Cambodian dishes packed with traditional, fresh and unique ingredients. Once you arrive, ordering skewers is a must. I mean for the price of $2.99-$3.99 for two, you really can't beat it. The meat is flavorful, tender and full of delicious spice that will leave your taste buds going for more. The skewers definitely brought me back to my childhood when I would get so much of it during Cambodian New Years. I also ordered the Chicken Khmer Fried Rice which was extremely addictive. It was spicy and fragrant. The texture was crispy, yet soft and the meat was tender and delicious. Don't even get me started on the portions. Probably meant to be shared amongst 3-4 people, but since I have such a large appetite, it was perfect for me.. and my girlfriend LOL. The portions were perfect to say the least. I couldn't recommend this dish enough. The service was noticeably on point. My partner and I were the only ones there on a Thursday afternoon, but the staff were just extremely friendly and attentive. I felt right at home when I dined in. Keep in mind that the restaurant is small because they are a small business, but I have hopes that they will grow into a large and successful restaurant very quickly. Although this was my first time coming here, it is definitely not my last. I'm going to make it a goal to order everything off the menu. I wish that more people knew about Theary because this restaurant deserves so much more recognition. As a Cambodian, I do love the food of my people. Experiencing Theary was surely love at first bite. Mark this at the top of your foodie bucket list, you will not regret it.

Huge tasty portions! Excellent food and service. But momma needs more help. Took over 30 minutes to get the Khmer goodies. Put your order in and wait. It's worth it!

Theary is a magician in the kitchen! I always try to stop by when I'm in federal way. The quality and thought put into each dish really comes through in the flavor.

If you're a true foodie, you should appreciate it when I say Theary's feels like an Anthony Bourdain-esque find. If you don't get the reference, that means it's an authentic, hole-in-the-wall, flavorful, unique, fresh, cooked with love and sincerity kind of place. Although quite small inside and very unsuspecting from the street, we had wonderful service from the jump. The owner clearly takes a lot of pride in what she does and it shows. My apologies for not in including photos, we were enjoying ourselves so much I completely forgot. If you're adventurous, I would encourage you to give this place a try and ask Theary for her recommendations. You won't be disappointed.

We visited the restaurant today (7/25/24) for lunch and dined in. Greeted Sister Theary as she welcomed us kindly! Spoke to her briefly while she was being attentive to other customers. Ordered the Pork Skewers, a plateful of Wide Noodles with Beef, pickled veggies, broccoli, eggs and Hot Pepper! Very flavorful and tasty! Also got the noodle soup with curry. Received great customer service and ample amount of portion size for our food. For our drinks, got a Coconut drink and Cokes. Got some food to go as well. We even had a chance to try out her Egg rolls as a complimentary appetizer, which was pretty good! We know Theary and are great friends with her, so we always get treated kindly and in an amicable fashion. She treats everyone politely and in a respectable manner.

I've been wanting to try Theary for many months now. Ever since I saw it pop up in my Yelp searches, I kept telling myself to go. Well - today was finally the day! My fiance and I stopped in and were greeted by the owner herself. She was so friendly and made us feel right at home. When we ordered our food, I got the BookLaHong Khmer (#8) with coconut chicken to go. In total, I paid around $24 for a huge portion of food. The food came out quickly, and I was so excited to chow down. The papaya salad was so vibrant with various colors and had a lot of unique ingredients that balanced each other out well. You can tell the ingredients were fresh, and I couldn't stop eating it. The coconut chicken was cooked well, as the chicken was juicy and the outer skin had a nice flavor of coconut. There was also this chili sauce on the side that went well with the dish. It had a spicy kick and also a bit of tartness, which was refreshing. Overall, I really enjoyed this dish and would love to come back to try the other foods.

We were looking for good protein after our hike at Dash Point State park. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu. Very flavorful and really hit the spot! The cute tables and various decorations were also pleasant to sit amongst while enjoying our meal.

I got to try a noodle dish w tofu and veggies, and the sauce and flavors had a great tangy kick to it. Their roasted chicken is so good, it may be my favorite dish here. They've come to a few Skyway festivals and bazaars offering free meals, and they always take care to put together a great dish, even for these events. Go try them out!

Yelp
Food are excellent. The combo plate is enough for 2 people with stuff chicken wing, coconut chicken leg, meatballs & papaya salad & sticky rice. The noodle soup is excellent too. You don't find pieces of meat in the chicken soup but it's full of collagen. Their home made chilies is the best

I have a soft spot for Theary because it's Cambodian food. With everything the country and their people had gone through and now thriving and surviving, it touches me when I see any Cambodian restaurants in the States. When I learned of Theary was at Spice Bridge and that they have opened their own standalone restaurant, I couldn't be happier for them. (FYI, they have permanently left Spice Bridge.) The menu is limited. They have a focus on catering as well as simple store front cafeteria style type of sale. Expect minimal service and to take-away only. The Food: Combination Plate, $26.99 1 Jumbo Stuffed Chicken Wing, 2 Lemongrass Beef & Chicken Meatball, and 1 Baked Lemongrass Coconut Chicken Quarter (bone-in). The dish come with a side of traditional vegetables pickle, sticky rice, and topped with fresh chopped herbs, Theary's chili oil paste, and fried garlic. This thing is huge! Unless the person has big appetite, it is plenty sufficient for two people. Every component was very flavorful and delicious.

It's a small shop in Federal Way in a strip mall. Takeout only. Service, promptness, and attention is all on point and perfect. I had the combination plate, and it is EXCELLENT. Very large portion of food. The chicken leg is seasoned perfectly- spicy and delicious. And it's authentically done too. The stuffed chicken is also excellent. The sticky rice and chilis are awesome. Cambodian food is very well represented, so this place definitely does stand out. I'll be back for more!

Seriously, this is the most authentic and delicious Cambodian food I've ever had here in the States! I'm so glad I stopped on Theary's last day at Spice Bridge. Sadly, by the time you're reading this, Theary will be closed until further notice. The owner was so sweet and explained how to eat the dish and the flavors that go perfectly well together. She plans to reopen elsewhere to pursue her passion, so stay tuned on Instagram to see where she goes. If you ever get the chance to try Theary, you'll be in for a delicious treat! To the reviewers who said the meat is dry, I didn't think so. I ordered the Stuffed Frog and Lemongrass Coconut Chicken Leg Combination Plate ($26.99) and all of the meat was perfectly tender, moist, and flavorful. The plate was huge and it was more than enough food for two people. I wish Theary the best of luck in the near future! Please support this small woman-owned business!

My first time here hopefully it's crackin! The owner is nice and bubbly and she knows my brother, butyour wallet better not be on a diet when you come here we ordered the combo (#4) $28.99 and the papaya salad plate with coconut chicken (#9) $22.99 . The owner said most of their customer take out but there is some seating here. The chicken was old and hard but the flavor was there. The sticky rice was mush so no guuch. The meat balls were super stale . The papaya salad wasn't it. Idk I was just expecting baamb. I probably won't come back

I'd been wanting to try this place since a lot of people have been posting about it. Yesterday, we finally got to try this place! It's I side the Spice Bridge Food Hall. We got the combination plate, which has sticky rice chicken, stuffed chicken wings, meatballs, and papaya salad. It was a good dish, but in a little disappointed that the chicken was over cooked and turned out pretty dry and hard. The flavors were good, but we're slightly lacking. The redemption item was the dessert! It's similar to the Filipino and Vietnamese dessert with jackfruit and bananas, but deep fried. It was super yummy and I'm still dreaming about it! I would still love to go back and try their other dishes and of course get that dessert item!

Come here and support a small business! The food is delish. It can take a sec for the food to be ready, but they seem to make everything fresh. Order ahead to go beforehand and take some good food home with you if you are more in a rush. The service is usually sweet, the owner if you catch her will talk to you about all the food. You can tell she is so passionate about sharing the culture. The vibe is laid back and pretty relaxing. So far my favorites are the meatballs (tons a lemongrass flavor), and the stuffed chicken legs (great size, and you can tell it's a labor of love). Also love getting the ginger green tea (comes with fresh ginger, and no sugar) iced. Very refreshing. It is a little warm inside, so prepare for that if you get overheated easily. Just something to keep in mind.

Authentic Cambodian food is pretty hard to come by and this place is so incredible. I sat in an hour and a half of traffic to get here and while I was grumbling on the way down, it definitely was worth the trek. The spot is takeout only, and I probably would recommend ordering online beforehand through their website. Cambodian food is a true labor of love as it is super labor and time intensive. Everything from the sauces, pastes, kroeung is made completely from scratch and just from a quick Google search on how to make Cambodian stuffed chicken wings, I am so impressed with the dedication the chef has to her craft. I ordered the combination plate which allowed me to sample a little bit of a lot of things and this is what I would recommend for anyone wanting to try! It is loaded with coconut chicken, sticky rice in banana leaves, homemade pickles; all this to say an excellent introduction to Cambodian cuisine. I also got the Noeum Banch Jhok which had this really rich savory broth and a heap of vegetables. Finally, I also got the flaky beef curry pastry which was also equally delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here and I am counting the days until I can come back! The Cambodian food is so delicious and I have not found anything else that comes close in Seattle. I cannot say enough good things about how good the food is or how kind/ generous the owner is. The owner is so patient with explaining what goes into her food and you can just really tell the love and care she has for her customers. Please come out and support this amazing establishment!

I was super excited to try this place being that am cambodian ... but boy what a disappointment! I ordered the Nom Pha Jock $17.99 ( cambodian traditional noodle) and it came cold and salty and to muck pha hok !! This was a super let down!! My husband ordered the ox tail chip noodle soup $27.99 that was ok.. my husband only ate the oxtail .. The place was small and had one table to sit.. it was super cold and no bathroom even for customers. would i come back.. probably not. would i recommend this place .. nope. they pro is the lady that owns the place is super nice

I was SO excited to see a Khmer place where I could pick up to go food!! The lady up front was super sweet and offering to explain anything to me, stating she and her mom tried to keep the most traditional recipes they could, full of different complementary flavors and mouth feels. She was careful to explain all the different veggies in the Papaya salad I had, but was very uncertain if I'd be ok with the fermented tamarind/fish sauce. I reassured her that I was very familiar. I don't think she believed me. The textures were GREAT. Lots of crispy, crunch from the fresh eggplant, Granny Smith apple, toasted peanuts, kale, and broccoli! I wasn't asked about how much spice I wanted, and it was a very mild pleasant warmth. The beef and shrimp and chicken kabobs were very very tasty! My plate was beautiful, with a variety of kabobs. I also picked up some of the ready to eat sauces including the chili paste, garlic sauce and the fermented Tirk Prohok. Super excited to try them! Go support them! We don't have enough wonderful Cambodian/Khmer places, and as the lady I spoke to said, they have only been there 4 months, and it takes a while for Westerners to catch on... let's keep them open! (My own bias.... It's not Mitapeap, and Sarim and Rina can't be replaced, BUT it was really good in its own right!)

Our kitchen is remodeling and we eat out every day. Meanwhile, my hubby found a Cambodian food and tried first time without me. He liked the food so much that he took ordered for our dinner a week later. My impression was that the amount of meat in the combination plate was awesome and the flavor of the garnished vegetables was refreshing and good taste. Unfortunately the beef jerky was a little tough. I want to try the oxtail soup next time.

The owner was soo nice the food is authentic to the T. Be warned your gonna wait a while if you order more then two dishes but with patients it's worth waiting . I loved the dipping sauce soo much that the owner gave me a personal batch !! Highly recommended top favorites were the beef puff curry pastry ! The combination plate , stuff chicken wings ,

It is rare to find such an authentic Cambodian place to eat. Theory is incredible, she will explain the authentic methods she uses to cook the food you order and the food is absolutely wonderful. The process of how some of the sauces alone takes months she said to be ready to eat and she imports ingredients from Cambodia! This is not just a meal, it's an experience and she has made lifers out of us. We are going back this week so we can try more items on the menu! Do not sleep on this place. Go have your own experience! Thanks Theary!

So excited for Theary's new grand opening at Federal Way. They've been open for 7 days at this new location. We stumbled into their old location over 2 years ago and fell in love with their boneless stuffed chicken wings and homemade chili oil hot sauce. Since we live in Portland, we try to stop by when we visit Seattle but in the old location, Theary would rotate days of operation with other BIPOC restaurants and unfortunately we never synced up. With their new restaurant, the hours are more consistent and we were able to stop in today to finally purchase more chili oil and get those wings. Nicest chef/owner ever and her son rang me up. Go support this small business and taste some amazing delicious and unique food!!

Two friends and I visited Theary today. Theary - the owner/cook/waitress (one-man-band) greeted us with a smile and served us jasmine -ginger tea, which was not on menu but we wanted some hot tea for a cold day. We ordered 3 dishes to share among ourselves. They were all excellent, especially #1 on the menu, which is stuffed boneless chicken wings. Theary took the time between serving other customers to explain to us the fresh ingredients she used and the pain to prepare the food. She tried to keep the food authentic but not too authentic that western customers might not like it. The result was wonderful. It came out $20/person. She did not charge us the tea. Asked why she said bc it was not on the menu. We love this place and will come back with family.

I was so sad when that Theary was no longer at Spice Bridge as it had been on my list for a while. However, I was so happy to hear that they have a takeout only location in Federal Way! I tried their combination plate, which came with the boneless stuffed chicken, coconut chicken, and 2 meatballs and the flavors were good and strong. If you like lemongrass, this is the spot for you!

I have been waiting to try this place for a long time. Their original location was in Tukwila and now they have their own store in Federal Way. The owner was so sweet. She was telling us her mission is to bring authentic Cambodian food to the community because there aren't many Cambodian restaurants out there. We couldn't decide what to get so we just got the combination plate which gives you a taste of several foods on the menu. The plate comes with sticky rice, a fat piece of grilled chicken, 1 stuffed chicken wing, 2 meatballs, chili paste, and pickled veggies. Since it was nearing the end of the day and she had 1 pork lemongrass sausage left she gave it to us for free! The plate cost $27 but definitely feeds 2 and we had leftovers! We will definitely come back when it is fully operational and she has more food options!

I heard a new "food court" opened up through IG foodie videos and was very eager to check it out especially this particular shop. Since it was located near SeaTac airport, it was kind of difficult to make a trip down on a random day because of traffic. And finally, there was an event down in Tacoma! A chance to check it out! It's located inside the Spice Bridge on Tukwila International Blvd in Tukwila. What a fitting road for the little food court LOL. There's a parking lot with ample parking. Because the location was small, I believe different shops alternate operation times. This particular shop was opened only Thursday-Saturday from 11am-8pm. I kept seeing the Combination Plate all over Yelp and the owner(?) also mentioned how it was their number 1 popular dish. I originally wanted to try something else because my boyfriend wanted to get food from another shop (too much food for our stomachs SAD). But I knew I wouldn't get another chance to check this place out until the far future, so why not! My boyfriend and I shared the Combination Plate. There were sooo many different things in it! Boneless stuffed wing, coconut quarter chicken, lemongrass meatball, sticky rice. Woooow the amount of food was crazy. Definitely worth the price! There was also soooo much flavors going on the plate! My taste buds were going crazy but in a delightful way LOL. The boneless wing was beautifully seasoned with sharp flavors and had vermicelli in it. I think this was probably was favorite out of everything. The meatball also had sharp flavors from the lemongrass, but I felt it was very tough... I personally don't like tough meatballs but the flavor was still outstanding! The coconut chicken was a bit on the milder side to balance all the sharp flavors. The sticky rice, MMM, balanced everything so nicely. Everything was absolutely delicious! There was also this homemade chili paste to complement with the food which gave such a nice kick to everything. I haven't had much Cambodian foods in my life but this was definitely a great experience! I kept praising the flavors of each thing to my boyfriend that he was probably getting annoyed HAHA. It is a bit on the pricier end, but I would say it's worth the price. Will be back to try their other dishes!

Came in there and saw the owner. She was very kind and gave such a good service and informed us about the explosion of flavors and how to eat it such as eating a bite of the cabbage to refresh the taste buds. Explosion of flavors I'm in love with Cambodian food now.

Sad to say but the food for me was underwhelming. It didn't make the mark for me. I wanted to love it and drove a distance for it. The photo definitely deceiving.. I read all the reviews and had too high of a hope. I wish it tasted as good as it looked. The pricing is expensive but you get a good amount of meat in the meal. The chicken bland but very tender. The stuff chicken was just not it sadly. Very little rice didn't balance with amount of meat. The restaurant is family owned however and women owned. Which is why I gave three stars. The owner was very lovely and nice.

Maybe I just came on a off day... been wanting to eat this again ever since having it the first time in Tukwila. Waited a while for them to move to their new location, which is finally now open. The store is pretty small, only have 1 table outside for seating. All food was premade and kept heated on a deli table. Ordering was a bit confusing, thought we were suppose to order at the register, so we stood in line waiting... Then a lady came in after us and got helped before us, leaving us standing there looking stupid. The food was still super flavorful, but it was more dry than when we first tired it... (probably cause it was sitting in the deli containers for some time?) They have a soft opening priced menu, which was $25.99 for a combo plate. It was the same price as last location. Not sure how much the price will go up by the end of their soft opening. Paid a total of $57 for 1 combo plate and 1 coconut chicken plate. Not sure if it's worth it like when I first tried it in Tukwila...

3.5/5 I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got to try it at Bite of Seattle. I ordered the stuffed chicken wing and the coconut chicken which came out to $26.31, so definitely on the pricy side. It was a food festival so I was expecting jacked up prices but looking at the regular menu it seems pretty in line. I preferred the coconut chicken and if I were to come back I would get it again. It was really tasty and not too coconut-y. However, it wasn't the juiciest chicken and the thigh was a bit wimpy and didn't have a ton of meat. I wasn't really a fan of the stuffed chicken wing and probably wouldn't order it again. It wasn't bad but there wasn't a ton of flavor and it was kind of dry.. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. It's good but not spectacular to really be worth the price or the drive.

Their shop is located in Spice Bridge, where it holds a couple other vendors like Eastern African food, Congo etc., and of course Theary, Cambodian food. We ordered two things: 1) Combination Plate $27: Comes with Stuffed Chicken Wing, Lemongrass Beef & Chicken Meatball, and Baked Lemongrass Coconut Chicken Quarter. Also comes with a side of pickled salad, I think it's fermented beats? This dish is absolutely DELISH! Very flavorful, can definitely taste the lemon grass Highly recommend! 2) Traditional Khmer mixed vegetables $19: Made with cabbage, green papaya, mixed green, clear vermicelli noodles, and bean sprout tossed in Khmer tamarind dressing. This dish to me smelled and tasted too fishy (like overwhelmed with fish sauce) Still overall it's tasty, you can definitely taste the fresh ingredients, all If it's fixing meshes really well. But it's just too fish saucey to me. Overall, the two dishes we had was yummy! I will definitely come back and try their other dishes like Ox Tail, unfortunately it wasn't available today :(

I'm sorry for bad reviews I have been here to time now every time I come here you Never have anything on the menu you only have 1 or 2 items to sell and the 2 boy who works there look so unhappy to work there I ordered the #1 and or no is was too dry anyway I didn't right the reviews before because I keep going back to give you chances .. I don't think this business is ready to be open. It should be more organized.

This is authentic Cambodian food. The owner is very passionate about her dishes and it shows. We tried a few of their most popular dishes and they didn't disappoint. The service was good. This isn't a place for a fancy night out but if you want a really good meal for a reasonable price cooked by someone that truly loves what she does, I highly recommend giving this a try. We will be back to try more things!
