Decent banh mi but overwhelming amount of mayo. Mayo on the bread, mayo on the fries, it was so much I felt a bit queasy after. Tofu was good, as well as the lemongrass chicken and I liked that the fries were air fries. Service could be friendlier and it would probably be nicer to take it to go as the ambiance is a bit dreary. read more

Small store front with few tables inside. There's two kiosks ordering stations as soon as you enter so go place your order. If paying by cash, go to the cashier. I ordered soy garlic chicken with rice and salad as base and chilli mayo on the side. The order came out quick and food is good but bit pricey for the portion. I will try their sandwiches next time and opt for different protein. The Thai milk tea is good and so addictive! Parking is challenging (literally none) on George Street so be prepared to walk to the store. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in New Jersey. I only visit NJ for work a few times a year, and if I happen to be staying within a 45 minute drive of New Brunswick, I make sure to stop in. The Lemongrass Steak Rice Box ($14.25) with a side of Cambo Fries ($6.75) are of of this world. The steak is tender and salty/sweet, and is complimented so well with the slaw, rice and lime. The fries are air-fried, but somehow crispy - topped with pickled carrots, cilantro and maybe the best condiment I've ever had - sweet chili mayo. I always make sure to get an extra side of the stuff. I can't wait until my next visit. read more

This is a great fusion place in downtown New Brunswick. Since its the downtown area, there is no parking. Off street parking only and its located near the state theater. I ordered the Lemon grass chicken box with all the possible toppings that didn't cost extra. My rice box has corn and shallots with some mayo sauce. It was tasty as it was my first time trying this place. You can eat in as they do have about 6-9 tables available for dine in. I would recommend trying their Thai iced tea that comes in a bag. The service was really quick from the time we placed the order. It only took about 5-10 minutes to get our order to the table. Overall, I would come back to try other menu items when I'm in the area. read more

I have the pleasure of working directly across the street from this establishment. My co-workers had been going here for a while so they introduced me to it. I am glad they did. You can order online or on a kiosk when you arrive. There are several tables inside if you care to eat in but we have always taken our orders to go. I have now been here approximately 8-10 times over the course of 13 months. It has never disappointed. My staple is the lemongrass chicken with vegetarian fried rice, corn, pickled veggies, fried egg, crispy shallots, with chili sauce on the side. Outstanding. Tasty and the portion is huge. Consistently excellent. My meal with tip is always close to $20. However, you can limit your options and have a cheaper meal. The staff is always nice and appreciative of the business. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown New Brunswick. There is no on street parking but public lots in the area. read more

So I went back and tried the lemongrass beef sandwich! It was very good but light on the beef and heavy on the carrots lol. My friend has the lemongrass chicken but it was unfortunately dry and she didn't enjoy it. read more

It was my first time trying out Cambo Box and I love the food!! I got the Rice Box, which comes with rice, corn, and veggies as the base. I added on the Soy-Garlic Chicken, Chili Mayo sauce, and Crispy Shallots. The value of the meal was fantastic and the food was simple yet delicious! All ingredients were healthy and fresh and not too filling. Although there aren't too many options to choose from, the quality of the food was great. I definitely plan on returning to try the Sandwich! There is currently no indoor dining. They are only doing take out orders. Food was ready for pick up in 15-20 read more

Fresh & fast Cambodian food! Of the limited fast food options, the extra protein Coconut Shrimp Rice Box is my favorite. The extra shrimp really helps to round out a meal with rice and corn sides topped with crispy shallots & pickled veggies. The shrimp may medium sized or less but they are crisp with a great coconut dominant seasoning. If you don't like the pickled veggies, you can have them excluded upon request like I did. There is a line wedge included in case you need a sprinkle of acidic flavor on your shrimp. The Lemongrass Chicken in either the hoagie or box is very tender with a slight hint sweetness. The hoagie version is a bit overstuffed with carrots as you can see from one of my pictures. On a subsequent visit, my request to lessen the amount of pickled carrots was honored which made a big difference in my satisfaction. These hoagies can be made hot as well. Parking in the area is generally a pain as sometimes metered parking is hard to find. Driving in the neighborhood during rush hour on a weekday afternoon is tortuous as well. Everything is made to order so there is a wait for your food but it is worth it. If you are in the area, I'd definitely drop for some quick fresh eats. read more

Great lunch sandwiches love the food here and I order 3 times a week love their chicken sandwiches

This place is located near rutgers. Its combined with another restaurant called poke nagomi. I went with friends and its our first time. They have no parking lot so we parked on the metered street parking. We all got rice box instead of sandwich. I ordered the dragonfruit lemonade, cambo fries, and steak rice box. I got additional protein which was soy garlic chicken and it was additional $3.50 which is a bit pricey for extra protein in my opinion. They forgot to add it to my food when it was ready and the employee didnt make a fuss and ask for any proof on receipt he just added some on my plate. Its small inside. The food presentation was excellent. I got txt notification how long the wait for the food to be ready and when it was ready. It was not packed on a friday night. The food was great! read more

I was skeptical when my boyfriend dragged me out here after he saw a Tiktok about the place but this place SLAPS. We walked past it at first since it's a little tucked away; it shares the space with Poke Nagomi, and you can order for each restaurant on an individual kiosk. I got a half rice/half salad rice box with soy garlic chicken and my boyfriend got a rice box with lemongrass steak and cambo fries. I've never had Cambodian food so I can't comment on the authenticity, but everything was so delicious and sometimes I have dreams about coming back. I would definitely be here more often if it wasn't so far from campus (which is probably better for my wallet). The staff are very friendly and I highly recommend everyone to check this place out at least once! read more

Ordered the rice box with the spicy lemongrass steak and the traditional curry sauce. Good mix of flavors and a small touch of spice. Only downside is that I didn't find it the most filling for the price, Plenty of seating inside, you just order at the screen when you enter and pick up your food when it's ready so it's simple. Casual ambience. Parking will be metered street parking up to a few blocks away. read more

While at training at nearby Rutgers, I tried this place for a quick lunch. Spot is small but has a few tables if you want to eat in. They basically have bowl or sandwich options of their dishes. I got the lemongrass chicken bowl for $7.99. It came out fairly quickly and was a fairly good portion. I was mostly pleased as the chicken had really great flavor though would have wanted a bit more spice on the rest of the dish. I would definitely make a return visit and try one of the sandwiches. read more

Pandemic can't keep Cambo Box down. Tried their soy garlic chicken sandwich, which survived an overnight nap in the fridge. It was a savory banh mi-like treat; pickled carrots are my jam. Next time I'll actually try it when it's piping hot. read more

Heard great things about this place and decided to visit when I was in the area. I'm glad I stopped by and ordered my meal here because it was delicious! The service was amazing-- the cashier was super friendly and was very patient with me. My food came out immediately! I just finished paying and my food was already waiting for me at the other end. I ordered a lemongrass chicken box and Thai milk tea. The lemongrass chicken absolutely wonderful. Even though it did smell a bit like seafood when I was first got it (which was a bit confusing to me), the taste was great! The vegetables on the side was a nice add-on to the chicken. I also added in some chili mayo to my chicken to give it some more flavor. The Thai milk tea is beautiful! I love how it's not too sweet or too bitter-- it was perfect for me. I like how I was able to taste the brewed tea-- definitely gives the milk tea a more authentic taste. The milk tea also comes in a plastic resealable pouch which I thought was so interesting. The interior gives off a very relaxing and aesthetic vibe that I really like. It is perfect for a casual hangout with friends. Overall, I'll definitely come back to this place for their food and milk tea. read more

Do you know how hard it is to find Cambodian cuisine? So hard that I this is my first time getting my first taste of it. When this place, Cambo Box, popped up on my Yelp notification as a new business, I bookmarked it without hesitation. Cambodian cooking uses pickled and tangy flavors, lemongrass, turmeric, ginger, kaffir lime leaves and the use of many curries, I knew I would be in for something exotic. This is not a sit down, waiter type restaurant, it's more of that street food vibe. The menu is straight forward. Choose either a rice box or sandwich, your protein, toppings and any extras. My companions and I ordered their Lemongrass Steak, Spicy Lemongrass Steak and Coconut Shrimp in a rice box. We each added extras like a fried egg, avocado and Vegan chili mayo. Served in a thin cardboard box, it was not easy to get a good picture that would make it look pleasing and appetizing. I did the best I could. Time to dig in...I made sure to get a little bit of everything onto my fork for my first bite. Yep, I started making yummy noises, it was packed with different flavors and everything seemed to married well together. I especially enjoyed the avocado, just wished that it was a bigger scoop. The drinks here like the Thai Tea and Dragon Fruit were quite refreshing and not too sweet. It is served in one of the those Capri Sun type pouches. Cute, but I saw it more like one of those pouches where you store blood, probably because I was never a fan of Capri Sun. Super friendly service and I look forward to coming back. I think this is a great place for take out where the food will hold up well. After this experience, I already plan to venture more into this cuisine at a sit down restaurant in NYC. read more

Good quick lunch spot! It shares a space with Poke Nagomi and fills up quick. I've tried the lemongrass beef rice box and the coconut shrimp rice box and both were great, would recommend! Very flavorful and unique. I also tried the curry fries which seemed like a new item and those were just average. I liked the concept, but would prefer beefier fries over shoestring fries. If you check in, you get a free fried egg! The decor is also super cute inside, cute enough for a yelp profile picture ;) parking is difficult as expected in New Brunswick, street parking only. read more

I will caveat that I have only had the sandwiches and ordered them to-go each time. I've done it a few times wanting to give this place a second chance but had the same result. The sandwich is underwhelming when compared to other bahn mis that I've had in the past. The bread isn't really toasted and the sauce is lacking. The meat is also a bit overcooked so doesn't have that tender, melt in your mouth with flavor texture as you would expect. I've had the lemongrass steak both times. I may try it again with the hopes of something better but would taper my expectations. read more

Unfortunately will not be eating from here again. Great presentation, but the Sandwhich i got was not it. I got the Lemongrass beef spicy sandwhich and it wasn't spicy at all i'm not sure if they sent the wrong sandwhich or not, but either way I did not like the taste. I ate a fourth and had to throw the rest away. The sandwhich looked really pretty though! read more

Cambo Box - Spicy Lemongrass Steak Sandwich (Halal) - Cambodian Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

The Thai milk tea here is TEA-RIFFIC. Apparently it's homemade, and it tastes way better than any other shop thai tea I've had. Smooth and creamy, just the right amount of sweet for my palette, AND you can taste the tea. It's... Legendairy. They come in super cute pouches too! My fave meal is definitely the spicy lemongrass steak box, with the curry sauce! I'm a sucker for great curry, and once I tried the curry, I had to keep getting it with every meal. It's slightly sweet, but very rich. The curry just amplifies the deliciousness factor on everything. And if you crave even more spice, you can always add more chili sauce for free at the serving station they have set up! One really unique thing is the corn. I usually hate corn, but their corn is mixed with coconut milk and I swear I've been converted into a corn lover now. read more

It's the small things that can really ruin a business... the fact that this place can't give you an option of putting sauce on the side without an up charge is INSANE. I tried explaining that the reason I needed my sauces on the side is due to traveling... but nope I was told apparently others who have asked for excessive sauces has now ruined it for everyone. Feels like an unnecessary money grab, food is good but this type of service is offensive and off putting. Charge extra for extra sauces not for sauces that COME WITH THE MEAL. read more

There's only one word to describe the food ... Scrumptious! I ordered the Lemongrass Beef Sandwich and Lemongrass Chicken Box and MY OH MY OH... the flavors are definitely take me back to my family's home cooked meals. Tender and succulent, theIr signature Curry Sauce is a much welcomed addition to any dish here. Everything came out quick and piping hot. I almost fell asleep right after finishing my meal by the window, which is beautifully decorated by the way. The decor of the entire restaurant is very trendy and you feel relaxed as soon you walk in. If I lived in the area, I would eat here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owner, Eric, and his staff, Bryan and Wellern, truly know the meaning of hospitality. They threw in a free complimentary Creme Brûlée with my meal which had the perfect caramelization on top. I felt like I was eating at Gordon Ramsey's Steakhouse. They also sat and talked to me about my goals and aspirations. You won't find that kind of customer service anywhere else. Cambo Box is new but will surely gain the recognition it deserves soon. So if you haven't stopped by yet, go find out what the hype is about. You can bet your lemongrass that it's good!!! Now Let's Get This Bread! read more

Being from South Philly, where there's a Cambodian enclave, I've been searching for Cambodian food in this area of NJ that comes close. And Cambo Box is most definitely it! It may even surpass some of the places from South Philly! Lemongrass chicken is very fragrant and all the flavors match well (with the corn, lime, etc.). They might get mad but the curry reminds me of the Vietnamese curry my aunt makes. Although it does have a kick, it's also sweeter and gentler than other curries. Coconut flavor, too. To me, everything is just very homey, soulful. It's comfort food. I wish they had this here when I was on campus! read more

I hated the bread on the sandwich, just a stiff, generic sub roll. The beef in the lemongrass beef sandwich was overcooked and tough. Any flavor in there was cooked out. The veg and spices were ok, but it was doing all it could to balance out the bread and meat and failed. The fries were almost shoe string, and I liked the curry sauce that came with them, but there was no way these were ever not going limp closed up in the to go box they used. Such a shame, I bet fresh at the store they are great. Not a place I would order delivery from again. read more

This place was delicious! I got the lemongrass chicken box with rice and was pleasantly surprised! Chicken was well marinated and whatever they put in the box such as corn, cabbage salad and crunch factor definitely set this apart from just any other rice and chicken box! First time have Cambodian food, and won't be the last! I guess if it's your first time, you can compare it to the lemongrass chicken you would get at Vietnamese restaurants. Def will be back to try out everything else. read more

Cambo Box - Lemongrass Chicken Box - Cambodian Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Pretty decent Cambodian food (although I'm not sure how authentic it is). I got the lemongrass chicken box and to be quite honest, the meat portion was small (picture was zoomed and cropped, in reality the box was about 4"x6") and the chicken was dry and severely under seasoned. I could definitely taste the lemongrass but nothing else besides that. Literally was just lemongrass and just chicken. No salt. No soy sauce. That's it. The fried onions was like a holy grail - something that provided just a little more flavor. I hope it's meant to be lightly seasoned for health benefits? I heard good things about the beef and the shrimp box and they sold out of the dragonfruit lychee when I went so I'll consider trying all of those next time. read more
