★★★★★ 5.0 Jem Cebu · Jan 2026

When you walk in, youre greeted by warm smile and a modern, beautifully decorated interior. The food was delicious all around starting the beef skewers to our main entree — hers: cat fish with coconut milk cooked in banana leaf & his: lemongrass stir fry. We also ordered fresh squeezed oj, hot tea and soda and finished off with banana coconut dessert. We came at an odd time of 2:30 pm so we had the entire place to ourselves and did not wait for seats. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back!

Outside of Cambodia, this is the most delicious and authentic Cambodian food we have had. The service was great, and prompt. The fish amok was divine. The fish noodles were yummy. The tofu and green veggies was excellent. We also had fresh orange juice and the mango sticky rice, both were amazing. We will be visiting again.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Edna Padilla · Feb 2026

Came here looking to try something new, but unfortunately I left very disappointed. The only dish I somewhat enjoyed was the steak salad. The steak itself was cooked well and wasn’t chewy, which I appreciated. However, there was very little meat in the salad, making it feel skimpy for the price. We also ordered the pineapple curry, and it really lacked flavor. It was underwhelming and didn’t have the richness or depth you would expect from a curry dish. Overall, the experience didn’t live up to expectations

I stopped in here based on the high Google reviews and my love for trying new types of food. I’m a fan of SE Asian food, but had never tried Cambodian food before. So glad I stopped in! I had the Amok per the server’s recommendation. It was delicious! Perfectly balanced flavors and perfectly cooked. The mango sticky rice was also highly recommended. I don’t normally order dessert, but I went with it based on how much I liked dinner. No regrets! It was the meal I was hoping to find. I was dining alone so I just wanted a casual place without crowds. A great meal without all the hype. ✔️

Skewers were heaven. Reminds me of some of the families I grew up near that always had birthday parties with these skewers. The green curry was unique, but very tasty. The chicken dip (sorry don't know the name) but had this fermented sauce taste not for the unadventurous! I loved it :)
