After my friend returned from her 4 month trek through Souteast Asia, I decided to take her here for her birthday because she missed Cambodia.  Not knowing anything about Cambodian cuisine, I was at least entertained by the women dancing and the food was good...served with all the spicy sauces, etc. . . didn't taste as light and fresh as I had imagined but was a decent experience.

This restaurant gets points for creating a great Cambodian ambience.  Patrons sit on the floor on comfortable cushions around a nice table, and eat.  The restaurant sports great yellow, red, and green curries (very remniscent of Thai curries) and has several other delicious entrees.  Great find right on Geary.

Maybe it was the date I was with...maybe it was the fact that my ex-boyfriend had misdirected me to what I though was a tasty little Cambodian hole in the wall we had been to. I wasn't crazy about this place. I would recommend Angkor Borei instead.

If you want to try Cambodian food. I guess you can go here, since there aren't that many Cambodian restaurants around. Service is incredibly slow, and I really don't know why, since there weren't even that many patrons around. I know they wanted us to enjoy our meal, but come on. I'd like to eat today. Aside from service, the food was pretty good. It's pretty close to what my mom makes and there's live entertainment after 8. The dancer looks like she's one of the kitchen staff, but incredibly shocking when she open her mouth to talk. Like OMG...she has got the accent of a valley girl.

This place ranks pretty dern high on the taste-ometer, yes indeedy.  I have vague recollections of being grumpy about something when I was here, and it may have to do with the fact that I wasn't expecting to sit on pillows on the floor at a really low table, but that's really nothing to kvetch about too much...except that, now that I think of it, my back was a little sore when we were done.  You kids can laugh if you want, but lack of lumbar support is no laughing matter for the over-30 set.  Offsetting these setbacks (in some goofy way) is the framed, yellowing newspaper review next to the door that mentions Angkor Wat as a nosch destination for the then-recently pope-ified John Paul II, so, you know, this is almost a holy place or something.  Anyway, my point is mainly that the food is really good if you like southeast Asian-style cuisines...which I do.  If it's your thing, too, then warm up your Pope-mobile and motor on out to the Inner Richmond--you won't go wrong.

i've enjoyed a few meals at this cambodian restaurant.
interior is a little outdated with what seem to be fake plants up by where supposedly they'll have live dance performances - though that's never happened when i've been dining there...
the food's flavorful and i don't think i've had anything there that i didn't like.  you can even buy the recipes of the dishes in a compiled cookbook... last time i checked i think it was $20... it's been a while so i don't know if that offer still stands.
i'd like to go back sometime
yummm


UPDATE:  so i've just heard word that this place closed down over a year ago... so sad...
