Best ever

We used to be regulars at Phnom-Penh for years but a few years ago we quit dining there when they took the salad rolls off the menu. The restaurant changed owners awhile back and we returned to find not only the menu better than before but the food SO MUCH better than it used to be!!...and salad rolls! Excellent beer choices as well. Excellent service too! Really amazing for the price. Excellent service. Delicious and tasty food with lots of perfume. Quiet ambience as well. Don't miss that one in Kingston!!!

Very yummy. Nice people who run the restaurant.

Great atmosphere

I ordered the Phad Thai... It was awful, no flavor at all. Service was also poor. I definitely will not be returning.
Paul Legacey
Always amazing food and friendly service.

This is an affordable place to eat, and serving sizes are on the bigger side. Drinks are affordable, though they were out of the first two juice choices I asked for. The Cambodian rolls were good, made with a flaky pastry unlike other places we've tried in Kingston. Our two main dishes were tasty, but one came with just three little strips of chicken breast, another one or two would have made it great.

The food was good. But the restaurant was dirty the bathrooms very dirty.

Special #3 is an amazing Green Curry. Don't order if you can't handle your spice! It's authentic, delicious and spicy!
Rob Cathcart
Service slow even when it was empty the server I presume who was the owner was cooking the food too. Used to be a go to place but something major has changed...maybe too much competition?

Came here for a quick lunch with my girlfriend. Place is a bit old and outdated but don't let that fool you on the quality of their food. We ordered green curry and pineapple fried rice and it was some of the best we had!

Good customer service. One of their main dishes was very tasty and affordable. They have an easy to read menu and lots of sitting areas to my opinion.

Have been going to this restaurant for 8 years. Small family restaurant with great Cambodian food! We love their golden chicken and cannot find this amazing taste anywhere else in Ontario. Not even in Toronto or Ottawa. Tips: do not add veggie to any saucy plate. We did that last time and they steam/boil the veggie, so when they add it to the sauce it completely waters it down and dilutes it. We go to this restaurant for the delicious food really and not for service or ambience. if you are looking for something fancy, this is not the place.

Absolutely fabulous! Great food and hospitality. Will definitely be back!

Good price and good food. Hard to ask for more than that.

Love the food here. I've always enjoyed the pad thai and red curry dishes. Portion sizes are stellar and you won't find better value in Kingston.The service is on the impersonal/less professional side, but that ultimately adds to the family-business atmosphere of the place. Highly recommend stopping in for a bite.

Love the food here !

I ordered a Specialty #2 from menu that consists of chicken, cashew& rice. It's basically precooked and microwaved. The ambient is also not that good either. Idk if its the location but people that rate this place above 2 stars haven't tried real Thai food.

Great little spot right on King st. The food was fantastic and the extensive menu was a very pleasant surprise. We were a table of 6 and everyone was really pleased with their dish. The soups were outstanding and had just the perfect amount of heat. Highly recommend for a little change to the traditional Thai style menu.

Love the 'Golden Chicken'. The chef always changes the spice level to our liking. Among other favourites are spicy fried prawns and red curry.On our every trip to Kingston we make it a point to stop by for lunch or dinner.

Good service. Good food. Good price. Casual dining with friends, can't go wrong.
RJ Kayser
The food was very good. The spring rolls and pad Thai I had was the best I've tried in Kingston. The building is a little shabby and it was too hot without air conditioning running. Probably the challenge of competing with the other restaurants on the street.

This was my favorite restaurant in Kingston before I moved to Toronto 10 years ago, and their #1 dish was spectacular! Unfortunately, over the years they have changed this dish completely. It was decent but the flavors weren't there anymore. And the amount of chicken you get is less than 50% of what it use to be. Overall this place is decent but not the great place it use to be.

The food is pretty decent. You get a lot for the money. The service is still pretty poor.
McQueen Zhao
Disappointing. Food slow and expensive. Not a good value.
henrymcculloch
Such good food. I don't eat in there because of work and it looks a bit old, but don't let the appearance fool you. The food is great. Try the #1 it's delicious if you like curry dishes. Not even super spicy.
Noah Gilholm
Excellent food and the staff are really friendly, I go there for some good food often when I’m downtown. The food’s a bit pricy, but I think it’s worth it considering the quality of food. All in all, I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a tasty, filling meal 👌
Joseph Aron
The best food! It's a family-owned place which has great food great service. I would highly recommend.
Blake St. John
Family run Cambodian/Thai place with a relaxed atmosphere.
Alina Witjes
Everytime I go to this little hole in the wall, I have the best food. It's a little sketchy looking from the outside, and maybe the inside... By no means go into the washroom. But I adore how fresh the veggies are in any of the dishes. They are never over cooked. Always to perfection. Great food, always charming staff, always room for people to stop in short notice.
David Speicher
Stopped in here at 8:30PM on our way from Ottawa to Hamilton. Excellent food that's fresh and tastes just like Cambodia. Well worth the visit for authentic Khmer food.

I edited this review. 3 months ago I gave 5 stars. Today I only gave 4 stars. Good food and service in general. The Phonm Penh soup is very good as well as Phnom Penh fried rice. The chicken penang this time is tough and this is the reason I only gave 4 stars. 3 months ago the chicken penang was soft and tender. The Beef lemon grass is good but too much green peppers. I am not rating the ambiance. The place is old but I come for the food.
Ronald Smith
Nice food. Great service.
Achim Mohssen-Beyk
Great little restaurant. The dining area was relatively clean. The sitting area is pretty small and fills up fast. The food was great but one dish was a tad too spicy. There is a good selection of dishes and the prices are reasonable.One negative point is that the kitchen is right adjacent to the dining area like within same room and the cooking doors leave a smell on your clothing. It’s a family business with a hard working couple as owners which makes up for the small dining area and the cooking smell.

Great spot. Awesome location, food is flavourful, generous, and fairly priced. Used to go here lots during university, and was back for the first time in a decade, and it's as good now as it was then.

A nice quiet place to check for great food! A good variety of food, a bit on the spicy side, but I assume if one's checking this cuisine they know what they are up for. With its size, the waiting time is none or almost none. Their green curry is my favorite but if you're not up for that much spicy you may as well check the chicken curry with basil and peanut or even chicken skewer on rice with vegetable and peanut sauce on the side so you can adjust the spice to your tasting.
Matt Cameron
Inexpensive, friendly staff. The chef came out to ask how our lunch was; the Pad Thai is delicious.
John Kraemer
Great taste, quick service, and fair price
Patrick Grover
Yummy food nice friendly staff
Cristiano Gonçalo
The golden chicken were tasteful and the spring rolls carefully fried. The price is very affordable if you order the meal for 2 – see the last page of menu.
CJ Swett
Always fantastic

Great food. Not the best ambience but can't get golden chicken like this anywhere else in Ontario. Travel between Ottawa and Toronto often and we stop by for dinner or lunch when we can because it's so good.
Dale Marecak
This is my 'go-to' place for a delicious bowl of their trademark, name soup with noodles, chicken, lemon grass and green curry (among other ingredients). $10 to $14 will leave you with a full belly and good feelings. Much of their other fare is great as well, or at the very least standard for Asian cuisine, and their prices are awesome considering they are only half a block away from both City Hall (Market Square) and Princess St. Parking can thus be an issue however.
Peter Desrosiers
Nice place off of downtown Kingston. Food plentiful on plate. Great service
Joe Soares
Great food

The reason that I gave this restaurant 1 star is not because of the food, is because of service. The service here is very very bad. We went in to the restaurant, sat down, they gave us menu and that it. They just left us there. One girl brought us the water, and she spilled the water almost on my father clothes, and she just walked away. I felt bad for the other group that came after us because the group had been sitting there for almost 15 mins and nobody gave them the menu. AKA: the restaurant was not busy. If it is Cambodia, everyone will just walk away without eat their food. The food is so so, and dirty.

The owner of this restaurant treats all customers like royalty. I went for their Thai green curry at least twice a week throughout my stay in Kingston, as it tasted like homemade food. It is also one of the best thai green chicken curries I've ever tasted in my life!
Marty Musgrave
Very clean and tasty food. Didn't have to wait long for reasonably priced food.
