Cambod-Ican Kitchen - Beef stew - Cambodian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a dive but the late night hours are refreshing. The beef stew is amazing!!! Get multiple bowls because you won't want to share. We waited forever for our food but weren't in a hurry. I got the crab fried rice as well. It was good fried rice with toasty flavors, but if I didn't know it was crab rice you'd never have known . It didn't taste like crab and the shreds in it were so small you never got the sense it was there. Tables were dirty and there was trash in the floor. We were probably there two hours. It is what it is and that's all it needs to be. Will definitely go back for massive quantities of stew and a regular fried rice. read more

Two things must have: Seafood Wontons Shish Kabobs Both need to be consumed with the "Moon Sauce" The beef wontons Are also fire but i prefer the seafood. It really was as the guys shirt described "The Best tasting **ssy you will eat in your life." Service was fast and it's really more of a take out feel. There are murals on all of the walls which gives the restaurant a nice feel while you wait for your food. Definitely worth a stop during your next drunken south side excursion. read more

Cambod-Ican Kitchen - Shirt with the phrase - Cambodian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I went in today for a chicken in a stick but instead of white rice I asked for fried rice. The owner digested I get the chicken fried ric. I agreed. I paid $23 for the chicken fried rice and an order seafood wontons. I rushed to my car and grabb a seafoo wonton and ate it. It was so good. I came to a longer light so I dec to eat some of the rice. It didn't taste too good but I was hungry so I ate sone of it. I made it home opened my food and really looked at it, and all the chicken was old and grey looking. I was so disappointed because I have never had a bad experience like this in the past. read more

It's always good food and they have soursop juice it's one of those things that you just have to do if you're out on Carson late night

Haven't been here in at least a year- because unfortunately south side has become unsafe at night. But I used to love this after a night of drinking or just a late night craving. Soo good, so much better than just grabbing any old chinese food or anything similar. The food is great! They stay open crazy hours and sell the food outside sometimes. Big variety and really affordable. I like the chicken, rice, lo mein noodles, crab rangoons, etc. This is a true mom n pop shop- the couple who owns this restaurant is so kind! read more

I love Cambodia-kitchen good food and people. Open late and the vibe is good . seafood wontons, or to die for.

Delicious! I get the crispy fried noodles. The fresh rolls are great. Everyone loves the moon sauce.

I definitely keep coming back for the customer service. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't see the hype about the food tbh. I feel like I could get very similar food at any restaurant like this. But the customer service is wow 10/10. The girl at the counter recognized me and remembered my name after just one visit. She also remembered my previous order and applauded me for trying something new each time. She brought out some spices to me and explained how her mom grows/ferments these at their house and showed me exactly how to eat them with each type of food. She is very knowledgeable. I love being able to discuss things like that with the workers. I get to understand a little more about the business and it makes me want to keep coming back. Apparently it's great late night after the bars so I will give it a try late night soon! read more

Ordered pickup yesterday. Called it in at 5:55 and was told it would be 15 minutes. I arrived at 6:15 and stepped up to pay. Then waited, and waited, and waited... It seemed like they don't start actually cooking your food till you get there and pay. There was a couple there that ordered at the window, after me, and received their food over 10 minutes before mine was ready. Then once my food was ready, they hand it to me in a bag that thank god, didn't have a hole in it, because the lo neon sauce was spilled all through out the bag. The food was good, but service & prep was seriously lacking... read more

You have a great body, but is it worthy of a Webcam? If so, you have a "Cambod." If you're wondering who can hook you up with a Webcam, well... "Ican." What to get: Whatever you fancy. What else to get: Whoever you fancy. Located on E Carson St, the nightlife mecca of Western PA, and the street with the prettiest and bareliest-dressed boys... I mean girls... perhaps anywhere outside Florida and California. And I think the food is actually really good. I have heard from a number of people that this place really sucks. I'm not Cambodian so I don't know what it's supposed to taste like over in Phnom Penh, but I have to say that I found the food to be really good. It's a little pricy but then what else is available at 1 in the morning? There's a reason why there's such a long line here. There's a couple of good Gyros around here (cough Mike & Tony's cough), but if you don't feel like a Gyro, then why not come and try some of this excellent curry-ish deliciousness. The really funny thing about this place is the bathroom. You need a key for it which they will gladly give you - but it's attached to what basically is a lamp post. So you have to drag the lamp-post with you to the bathroom... it's hilarious. So why do people diss it? Not sure what the problem is really. I know what my problem is though. I'm attracted to cooking pots. I mean, I'm Pansexual. read more

Amazing food. We order at work all the time it's so good. And the portions are so large, can easily get 3 meals out of one order!!! The shish kebab platter is my go to and that moon sauce is to die for. 10000/10 and will continue to come back! read more

Came in for a weekend dinner and It was not too busy. I ordered crab fried rice and it was a lot better than i thought it would be! There was plenty of crab as well as pineapples and bell peppers. The serving portion was more than enough for two people. The flavors were all really good, sweet and savory. The owner came out and talked with our table a couple of times. He told us to try some peppers and they definitely had a kick! It paired really well with my crab fried rice as well as my friends dishes. The owner is really personable and makes great recommendations. Also make sure you bring cash! read more

Please yelp, let me give them more stars. After Acacia closed, my friend and I were craving food, specifically Asian food. In Pittsburgh, this is tough at 2 am. Luckily, we stumbled across this gem. Since it was late, we had to order at the window, but the employee was so friendly and funny that he left a good indication on how their overall service was. We ended up getting the crab fried rice and the Cambod-Ican beef stew. As an Asian, I was skeptical of the fried rice, but boy am I glad we got it. They used real crab, not imitation crab, and the taste of crab even carried into the rice itself. Mm. As for the beef stew, the first bite was heaven and it wasn't just because I was starving and had a slight amount of liver poison in my system. Just a warning though, it's rather rowdy and we had a few people approach us. Slightly uncomfortable, but expected since it is late night South Side. Overall, good prices and spot on food. 20/10 would go back... but probably during daytime hours. read more

After a fairly perfect introduction to Pittsburgh nightlife, the Surf and Turf pita at Cambod-ican was a proverbial coup de gras. The pita is a torpedo of protein (grilled chicken thigh and elongated crab wonton loaded into a thin pita.) Is it Cambodian? Probably not. Is it delicious? Yes. The chicken shines in this sandwich. Well marinated, smoky, soft yet firm on the bite. Carefully monitored for internal temperature. Its respectfully finished with a sweet teriyaki demi-glaze that will leave your hands a bit sticky. The crab wontons are as good as those can get. They are a conglomerate of imitation crab, breaded filling, and hot cream cheese deep fried in a dense corn meal batter. The bite experience is beautiful. The robust batter crust holds firm until it doesn't. You're left defending your palate against a cascade of creamy, crab flavored bliss. But this is a white flag you'll be happy to wave. The pita was thin, but disappointingly chalky. It did not absorb the greasiness of its contents well. It did not hold them well. It distracted from the quality of the sandwich overall. Replace the underperforming pita with something softer and more absorbent, yet thin, and this would be a five star experience. Cambod-ican is undoubtedly a great choice if you're within a couple miles and want excellent Asian American street food, particularly late in the evenings. read more

Not only did we have to wait for our food after EVERY person that entered after us. We ordered two separate items and only one was in the bag and not even the correct item. Food was mid at best- even the egg rolls were mid. read more

The moon sauce is actually so addicting. I love to get some seafood wontons and fried rice with moon sauce. Absolute perfection.

First timer to Combod-Ican and was impressed. Lots of take out foot traffic so we were able to get a table. I ordered the Cambo combo ( pic shown) which came with two seafood wontons (omg so good). The moon sauce is yummy - the chicken was tender... very good first impression. Would def come back. Only nitpick.... walls need cleaned a bit... read more

We've been to this place multiple times before COVID and the workers have always been so nice and friendly. The food is also amazing. However, my most recent visit was not the best. I understand with COVID, things have changed and takeout orders have increased but seriously...waiting over an hour after the owner said it'd be a 20 min wait?! Also I ordered the seafood wontons and apparently I never mentioned it on the phone so the order was missed...SO FRUSTRATING! Also I noticed that some of the workers would handle money, the phones, and packaging...with no gloves on. I didn't even see any handsantizer around. Just a wet rag that they'd wipe their hands on. Food might be good but not worth the wait or risk. Probably won't be back. read more

I have to add a new review and I hate to do this because the food is so dang good. But went in on Saturday to get take out since you know...coronavirus. They didn't really do any precautions..yes they split the tables to the sides of the rooms, but there was space to make it so there was a one way entrance and one way exit. Instead everyone was standing and waiting to order or pick up their food in a tight, narrow space. NONE of the staff was wearing masks. The owner (or at least I assume he was the owner) was walking around with a little kid just near everyone and not giving a care in the world. 75% of the people waiting inside we're not standing 6 feet apart and there were no masks on them either. Just me and one other girl inside. Ridiculous! I get businesses are struggling and want to stay open, but if you can SHOW that you're making a small effort to care, it goes a long way. Plus, I called in my order at least an hour in advance to picking it up..then had to wait in like over 30 minutes to just pick up the order. Crazy wait times, very stressful. Needless to say, it's probably my last time eating there. read more

Note: You know this one...lemme year yinz...CASH ONLY! Ohhhh, authentic, pshawthentic,...who really gives a turd? When chunks of skewered chicken are so fragile, flavor-blessed, and cozily smoldering on the tongue you devour them quickly only to weep because they're in your intestines, does it matter? When sugar and salt romance each other, resulting in the cabalistic, Delphian, rayless Moon Sauce, and said chicken is baptized in it, is its national origin that relevant? So yes, in case you're curious, I did enjoy my pre-concert (In This Moment at ye old Rex Theater) dinner on Good Friday, for the most part at least. I mean, those seafood dumplings tasted like Crab Rangoon made by Sandra Lee. "Semi-homemade" no doubt. In all seriousness, my palate held a processed aftertaste from them, one that was unwelcomingly saccharine and padded with *ahem* mysterious sea creatures that most likely were not crustaceans. Looking at the upside, I did find my whole-wheat (?) pita to be an acceptable change-up from the usual, white flour kind. And is the Tumbleweed Pie ever a sly, coy exercise in dessert cool. Served chilled, the pie itself is French Vanilla and coffee ice cream mashed together within a graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. No kiddin' they wouldn't serve this in Thailand, ya snark! But they should for it is a light treat ideal for ending spicy meals, its creaminess taking away the sweet, warm pain that is occasionally needed to let you know you're alive. Please don't be put off by the type of mod interiors and exteriors that might make diners wonder if the owners are lampooning the 70's or truly think "Three's Company" was engrossing, brilliant television deserving of a shrine. When you use the john, take what's written on the "board" and tablet of rules, throw it all over your shoulder (but not the key! it's attached to a heavy pole so people won't walk off with it!) along with any biases you may have, and realize that whoever's heading Cambod-Ican kitchen is a smart-ass that just happens to be adept at preparing cheap, satisfying, semi-exotic grub that could vaguely be described as Asian. P.S. Cambod-Ican Kitchen is open from 6PM to 5AM from Tuesday through Saturday! They'll leave a light on for ya without judgement! read more

Studies show conclusively that eating Cambod-Ican greatly enhances the medicinal benefits of cannabis. In addition to satisfying hunger cravings, seafood wontons have been reported to induce tingling sensations, restore the hairline, and relax both physical and mental tension. Many couples report also "romance-enhancing" side effects. Moon sauce is also being studied as a non-industrial lubricant for low-velocity controlled movements in biologically coupled systems. read more

They open until 5am in the morning. Perfect for the hungry college student. The family who owns this place is hilarious. The person who takes your orders at the window is the husband who encourages you not to get the "worthless white rice" that us Asians love and get the brown rice instead. The wife is equally hilarious. The first time I went we were the only ones in the restaurant except for two other people. One of the guys was getting quite loud and rowdy so the wife threatened to kick him out with a baseball bat. As for the food, it's good and fresh. The fried chicken I ordered tasted especially good with the red chili flakes they had at the table. Large portions and filling. Great late-night/super early in the morning meal. read more

"It's okay to let out orgasmic moans here [because the food is so good of course]. Just so you ladies know, from a guy's point of view, we guys love that." ---Words of wisdom from the spunky waiter at Cambod-Ican (I wish I asked him for his name). This place has such a "fun" and laid-back feel to it. They really try to make you feel at home here. My friends and I were unsure of what to get so waiter was nice enough to give us a breakdown of the menu and we each ended up ordering one of the recommended items. I noticed that a lot of the customers are regulars because the waiter knows them by name. The wait was a good 15 minute, but I know for sure they made our food fresh right after we ordered them, instead of the precooked stuff most Asian restaurants are guilty of. For appetizers, we had their signature "fried seafood wontons", which was just another name for Crab Rangoons. I love crab rangoons so I really liked these...crispy with the right amount of cream cheese, not overly sweet. I ordered a "shish kabob platter", which came with grilled chicken, grilled kielbasa and rice drizzled with their signature "moon sauce". Ladies and gents...moon sauce is just a fancy name for teriyaki sauce. I thought the rice was a little bit too dry though. My one friend ordered Cambodian chicken noodle soup. The menu compared this noodle soup to Vietnamese Pho. I am Vietnamese, and trust me...I KNOW pho. This Cambodian chicken noodle soup was pretty decent, but no way can this be compared to Pho (the King of all noodle soups). One friend ordered the "sampler platter", which has a bunch of fried stuff and their grilled chicken, and the other friend ordered the "chicken curried vegetable bowl" with lo mein, instead of rice. That was pretty spicy, but it was probably my favorite out of all the entrees. So if I rate this restaurant solely on its food quality, then it would only deserve 3 stars because I thought the food was pretty average...nothing deserving of "oohhhs", "ahhhhs", or "wow". In other words, the food did not give me a "foodgasm". But, it was such a positive experience overall because the atmosphere and the wonderful service so they deserve 4 stars. Our waiter was the most enthusiastic and energetic man I've ever met. He was cracking jokes left and right, and engaging all of the customers in conversations. The food was okay, but I would definitely recommend you give Cambod-Ican a try just to meet this dynamic character. read more

My husband and I ate dinner here last night on accident--we meant to go to Apsara cafe next door and had already been served water before we realized we were at the wrong place, and the food looked good, so what the heck! We both ordered the Cambodian noodle soup--he got beef and I got tofu with veggie broth, and it came with a big plate of bean sprouts, basil, and cilantro. Very pho-esque. We enjoyed our soup, and the waiter was fantastic. I told him I enjoy spicy food, so he brought out two kinds of sriracha, pickled Thai peppers, and some hot sauce from his own personal stash for me to try. I would definitely go back just because the people here are so nice--but it's a bonus that the food is great too! read more

Cambod-Ican Kitchen is one of the best thai restaurants in Pittsburgh. I've been going to Cambod-Ican Kitchen for probably 10 years. Their food is so delicious and fresh. I usually order one of the noodle dishes, vegetarian. My favorite dish is the steamed rice noodles. It's a great combination of veggies, fresh herbs & peanuts on top of steamed noodles with the right amount of sauce. The sauce they use on it is to die for. Service is always wonderful, they are super friendly & always remember a familiar face. This is a must try restaurant! read more

Went here in the midst of a bustling Friday night bar crawl. This place is edgy and has great character. The waitress was super nice the guy taking our order is straight up hilarious. I ordered the chicken kabob w/ veggies on pita. The chicken cut was large, well-marinated. Eating it in the context of the pita bread was glorious. How much was this? Less than $5! Another huge plus is the late closing time. It's open until 3am. I'll remember to come here when I'm working late at the office down the street. Don't be afraid to have a convo w/ the staff. They're friendly and welcoming! read more

Service was ridiculously slow when I went but there aren't a lot of super late night food options in Pittsburg so I guess we have to deal with it.

Cambod-Ican Kitchen is the spot if you're looking for lots of cheap food, served at all hours of the night. However, if you prefer a restaurant where the tables aren't sticky to the touch, an owner who wears a clean shirt, or where you don't need a key for the bathroom, this isn't your spot. I can appreciate a quality dive joint. There's a certain charm to an establishment that has great food and a lot of character (stemming from the food, the decor, or the staff). Cambod-Ican Kitchen is certainly a dive, but it doesn't really have the character I'm looking for now that I'm in my mid-thirties. When my girlfriend and I entered, we were greeted at the counter by the burly owner handing us menus and barking "Read" to each of us. I kind of figured that he was going for funny with this greeting, but he was gruff enough that it took some further interaction with him to confirm that he was just being a goofball. After ordering, and sitting down at the table in the front of the restaurant where the owner recommended, we were surprised at how sticky the table (and everything else on it) was. The owner also proudly told us about the dried roasted red pepper topping that all tables had, which I found to be very tasty. The little jar they were in was very sticky- I tried not to think about how long it had been since it was probably cleaned. We were pretty hungry, and ordered the appetizer sampler, as well as chicken thigh fried rice, and pork noodle soup. The appetizer sampler platter was huge, just a mountain of fried food. The egg rolls were average, and the grilled chicken was decent, although a bit on the dry side. A lot of the items on the platter were covered in their signature "moon sauce," which was way too sweet for my taste, but if sweet sauces are your thing, you'll probably love it. The chicken thigh fried rice was solid as fried rices go, but not good enough for me to venture back. The pork noodle soup didn't have much flavor to it, and the noodles were very much overcooked. Cambod-Ican Kitchen is an interesting cash-only place, that's open all night long, run by an irreverent, off-kilter owner. I enjoyed and admired his passion, but wasn't into his brand of humor (his diatribes were quite frequent when we were there). I suppose that working at a restaurant at odd hours of the night for years and dealing with drunk patrons can do that, though. If you're looking for food that is authentic, healthy, or really tasty, I would keep looking. However, if you want a huge quantity of food that's ok, really sweet, cheap, and don't mind an owner who could be a wacky sitcom character, you have your spot. read more
