Kuy Teav Kouk - dry noodles & broth
Patrick C.

I had been wanting to stop in since Heng Seng opened, and tonight three of us finally went for dinner. While I've eaten and cooked many cuisines from East and Southeast Asia, I have had relatively little experience with Khmer (Cambodian) food, which made the visit especially exciting for me. For appetizers we ordered the fried dough, which is essentially identical to Chinese youtiao, and the Kaw Ko with bread. The Kaw Ko was outstanding--deeply flavorful beef stew gravy filled with generous chunks of beef and carrots, served with crisp, crusty yet fluffy bread that was perfect for soaking up the rich sauce. My fellow diners both ordered the large Traditional Kuy Teav soup, Phnom Penh style, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The pork broth is flavorful but intentionally mild, allowing diners to customize it with condiments. Both of them added chili crisp oil, hoisin sauce, fresh chiles, and soy sauce to season it to their liking. On our next visit they both plan to try the dry noodles or possibly order a full portion of the Kaw Ko. I ordered the Kuy Teav Kouk (dry noodles), Phnom Penh style, and absolutely loved it. The dish is served with the pork bone broth on the side, which I found perfect. I added chili crisp and chili oil to the noodles and mixed everything together. The dry style gives you a wonderful range of textures--soft noodles, assorted meats and offal, crisp bean sprouts and coriander--followed by sips of the rich pork broth. It makes for a truly satisfying and balanced dining experience. To drink, I had tea and the pandan limeade, which was refreshing and delicious. Service was impeccable and the restaurant is very welcoming and a pleasant environment with comfortable seating. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and our food arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully prepared. I would highly recommend Heng Seng Noodles to anyone. If you enjoy the flavors of Vietnamese or Thai cuisine, you'll find Cambodian flavors familiar--but also pleasantly and interestingly different.

My second time dining in this location. They definitely have perfected the Phnom Penh Kuyteav broth. The first time, I tried the dry version and it was good but I felt something was missing. This time I tired the soup version and it was 10x's better. I also had the spring rolls and their Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was delicious. Service was fast and great. Place was packed.

This place knocks it out of the park from ambience, to service and food. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and well decorated. Our server was very friendly and was able to make recommendations for some of the dishes. She was also attentive without being overbearing. The Lort Cha was the favorite of the meal. It was flavorful and had good "wok hei". I can't wait to come back to try some other dishes!

I love the aesthetic and decor of this restaurant. The food is good too and there aren't that many Cambodian restaurants in this area, so I was interested in trying the food. The servers were also helpful and helped decide which dishes to get. The drinks were delicious but definitely on the sweeter side. My favorite dishes were the Beef Kuy Teav, the taste is similar to pho, and the Kaw Ko. The Kaw Ko was very tender and the stew was super flavorful. The Ngam Nov had a clean broth and it was light, so I think it would be perfect for breakfast. The portions on the noodle soups were also generous, and bigger than I expected. The crispy egg noodle dish wasn't my favorite because I didn't love the texture of the fried noodles, but that's just personal preference.

Such a cozy and comfortable place! The portion was just right, and it's perfect for enjoying a meal by yourself. The noodles were delicious!

I haven't had Cambodian food until eating here. They serve a variety of dishes that were flavorful with decent portions. I typically get the phnom penh and appreciate that it includes organ meats. The interior is well decorated and I haven't had to wait to be seated the two times I have been there. Service is fast and excellent. Overall a very positive experience

Phnom Penh style dry noodles
Karen T.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with nostalgic furniture and art reminiscent of Southeast Asia. The servers were quick, patient and kind. Their drinks are top tier. We got the pandan coffee with coconut foam and pandan limeade. So refreshing and hit the spot. We were very excited to try their hae keung appetizer but it fell short for us. The filling was on the mushy side. It would've been nicer to have the texture of shrimp chunks and water chestnut chunks. To be fair, we were comparing it to a memory of old. The papaya salad was nice and fresh, but could've used slightly more funk from the shrimp paste. Also got the dry noodles dish, phnom penh style, with the thick egg noodles. The broth that came with it was delicious, the noodles also fell a bit flat with the sauce. All three dishes felt close to what we remember but not quite there. Overall not bad, we walked away full but sadly our cravings were not satisfied. Based on previous reviews we just might have to try some other dishes.

Iced Pandan Coffee
Wendy W.

Stopped by for Saturday lunch and it was busy - I can see why! Super flavorful dishes, amazing service, and spacious interior. We started off with the lemongrass beef skewers. It came with a side of pickled vegetables. We ordered the House Special Mee Katang and Beef Kit Teav Kouk (Dry Noodles). The dry noodles were the highlight of my meal! You get to customize the type of noodles, and we picked the mix of rice & egg noodle. The difference in texture is something I didn't know I needed in my life. It came with a beef broth with a piece of bone marrow. (Truly chefs kiss) We finished the meal with an iced pandan coffee. Highly recommend!

Fried Rice
Grace K.

I've been to Heng Seng about 3 times now. Two of those were back to back within one week because of how good it was. The workers are extremely kind, and the service is shockingly quick (every time we have had our food within 15 minutes, including entrees, I have truly never been so impressed with service before). I'm a neighborhood local and this place is truly a GEM and too empty for my liking, so a 5-Star review it deserves. My first time here I got the Pandan Coffee and Phnom Penh Noodles Dry with soup on the side and the Fried Dough. Second time I got the Fried Rice Special with everything in it and the shrimp tempura. My boyfriend has gotten the Phnom Penh Soup and Shrimp Soup and the limeade. We have thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING here and love it. For the things I've tried: Noodle/soup dishes are light, flavorful, and delicious. 4/5 Fried rice is heavier and you will want to take a nap after, but flavorful and so so so good. Think the Asian cuisine version of a really good pasta dish. 4.5/5 Fried dough is so simple yet so good every time, and plain addictive. 5/5. Shrimp tempura I almost wanted to order two of. 5/5. Pandan Coffee with cold foam is so good I've ordered it to go. 1000/5. Pandan Limeade, refreshing but a little strange, 3/5. Give Heng Seng a try if you're in the area (or if you're not) you won't regret it! Stop by the S.mart Life (Asian beauty store) and Huong Vuong Food Market (Asian grocery store) next door while you're here. I highly recommend it!

Phnom Penh Style (Dry)
Philip Y.

A great Teochew noodle with Cambodian fusion cuisine. They has opened in the Asian shopping plaza for a year but I never noticed that when I stopped by for grocery shopping. My whole family came here a for an early dinner after playing 2-h of pickleball among six of us. The noodles are served in soup of dry style, so we order both in various options choosing wide noodle. The dry noodles serves with pork bone soup on the side was excellent. The traditional noodle soup (Kuy Teaw) was another great option. The saté option on the noodle soup provides additional spiciness taste. Love the Hae Keung as the appetizer. The papaya salad has a unique and refreshing flavor. We are definitely coming back with other family member for more dining experience here.

Khmer Glass Noodle Salad
M Y.

Wow wow wow. This place deserves a million out of 5 stars. Such delish food and so many amazing options. My friend and I got a noodle appetizer to share which was so refreshing and flavorful. And I got the chicken which was so tasty and ended with the pandan mango sticky rice. Cannot wait to come back here hopefully soon!!

Jon P.

Finally got the chance to come try this spot out and I'm so happy I did. Place is very nicely decorated and clean. Service was excellent. Servers were very attentive and nice. Food was very good, definitely want to come back and try out other food on the menu. Had their entree special with the beef stew and noodles. Ordered beef skewers as well and they were both delicious. For drinks, you must order the pandan coffee with coconut foam on top. That was so good and would definitely come back for that. They also had a pandan limeade as part of their special and that was pretty good as well. Highly recommend this spot and I'll definitely be back.

Sophea S.

My favorite Cambodian noodle spot just opened a new location in Cherry Hill, NJ! The OG in South Philly is still my go-to, but the new spot is great, plenty of parking, bigger space inside, and an expanded menu with more dishes and drinks. I loved the coconut juice with pandan foam and coconut meat, so refreshingly good! The only downside was that the soup that comes with the dry noodles was cold, even on my second visit. Overall, the ambiance is cozy, service and food are great, but we'll still keep going back to the original location!

Mawn - Crab fried rice

Mawn

4.7(273 reviews)
8.3 mi•Bella Vista, Italian Market

Was finally able to grab ANOTHER coveted Mawn reservation after a year of trying for 4:30pm (right…read moreas they opened) on a Thursday night! This time having had one visit under my belt, we decided against the chef's tasting (no hard feelings, just didn't want to end up with another whole fish) and not a single thing disappointed. We started off with the head on soft shell shrimp, mahope samut seared scallops, and burmese ginger & melon salad which were all so fresh. I think of the group my favorite was still the tasty head on soft shell shrimp. For our mains to share we tackled the all star seafood fried rice that was prepared with uni, lump crab, bay scallops, shrimp, crab fat butter, trout roe and then also had the delectable yellow curry noodle soup that featured blended coconut curry, shaved cabbage, long beans, herbs, peanuts, and we chose chicken as our protein. For two people it was MORE than enough to share and we even ended up taking home a portion of the fried rice. For desert we had the jasmine rice pudding which was to DIE FOR and really icing on the cake to a perfect meal. The service was prompt, pleasant, and the staff very frequently changed our plates and silverware which I'm coming to expect in "hard to get" restaurant experiences. The venue itself is small and intimate, but you don't feel squished in the slightest. Cannot wait to be back in another year!

First time at Mawn from a last second reservation cancel!…read more There were so many good sounding appetizers I wanted to try but we decided to stick with the papaya salad, clams, garlicky cabbage. Clams were cooked well with a very flavorful tom yum and cheese buttery broth mixture. Papaya salad was some of the best I've had and I've eaten a many papaya salads... it was more vinegar/fish sauce side. The garlicky cabbage was my waitress' favorite menu item and i was kind of dissapointed. The cabbage had a good flavor from the mixture of furikake and the sauce but overall it was very oily and salty. The scallop toast was one of the specials and it was absolutely delicious!!! Best item of the evening. There was scallops on a toast, brown butter, and salmon roe. Honestly, we were very full by the time our main dishes, the khao soi and yellow crab ramen came out but we made an effort to eat both. Neither was overly impressing, the khao soi was some of the better khao soi around but the usage of ramen noodles rather than flat egg noodles which I'm used to, definitely took away from the experience for me. The yellow crab curry was surprisingly more spicy than we expected, which could be a good or bad depending on the customer. The vibe here was very fun. All the staff were extremely attentive, engaging, friendly, and helpful! You have a window view of the streets of south philly to a low lit room with a sophisticated moodlit room.

Little C. is located in the heart of South Philadelphia. It's pure Cambodian culture at its best…read more For the most part the people are very kind and peaceful. It is really a very tight and closed community. There's a temple of worship that was built by hand from the monks that reside there as well as the people within the community. Often you find families outside playing in front of there homes or in the park across the street. It's common for the locals to be grilling in front of their house and selling there food for a small profit. You will find the unique scent of whatever is cooking in the air all year round. On the downside it's very dirty. The sidewalks and streets are lined with food scraps and debris. It is not such safe place to travel at night. It is known to have gang activity.

The corridor of 7th street between Oregon and Tasker can best be described as 'Little Cambodia.'…read more For those willing to brave the neighborhood, there's some secrets to be found here in the warmer months, May to September. The groceries in this area are cheaper than any place on Washington avenue and just as varied (if not moreso). The real reason to come down here is the street food. Anywhere in this area, but particularly along 7th between Ritner and Snyder, you'll be able to find street hawkers selling freshly open-air grilled beef and chicken at a single dollar per serving (two servings and some sticky rice for $2 for a total of $4 is enough for a meal). The best thing to try to get in this area if you're adventurous is the papaya salad from any of the hawkers (I prefer the fat lady at 7th just south of Winton, around 2130, I guess). In Thai, it's called somtam, but it is of Cambodian origin and called bok l'hong. Its hot, garlicy, salty goodness is fantastic at $5 no matter which hawker makes it for you (and it's prepared fresh to order by all of them, too). It's an enormous amount and really, it's enough for six people as an appetizer salad. Goes great with sticky rice. There're also hawkers along Moyamensing between 8th and 4th and around Mifflin Square at 6th and Ritner (NOT Mifflin, oddly enough) and they all carry the same sort of stuff. If you're worried about the area, there's a hawker on the south side of Jackson St near Mildred between 9th and 8th and that area's a tad less rough. I'd give five stars, but sometimes you'll venture here and find no hawkers. Their availability changes with the weather and on colder or rainy days, you'll find no one.

Full of locals. Bring headphones if you're easily triggered: a dude answered two calls while I was there, and when he wasn't talking on the phone, he was endlessly on the TikTok. When he left, it was blessedly quiet except for noodle slurps. Quick service. Last I was here, the server was busy. When she had a moment, I left my seat to pay her early.

HOW DID I JUST FIND OUT YOU CAN CHECK IN HERE?! Omg, I've been coming here all the time and…read moreapparently only have ONE check-in. What a crime. Anyway, I absolutely adore this place. It's usually PACKED, but one of my little tricks is to come on a cloudy day or when it looks like it's about to rain. The crowds thin out a little, and honestly, I prefer it that way. More room to wander around and figure out what I'm going to eat without having to squeeze through a sea of people. What can I say? I LOVE everything about this market. There's such a great mix of Southeast Asian food, along with other Asian cuisines, so you can come back over and over and still find something new to try. My personal favorites are the Cambodian skewers and the Vietnamese rice shrimp cakes. Those are always on my radar whenever I come here. One thing I've noticed is that the vendors and their locations can change around more than I expected. I initially thought the same vendors would always occupy the same spots, but nope! There's always the possibility of stumbling across something new. This time, I found a Chinese skewer stall near the left entrance that was almost completely sold out by the time I got there. That's how you know people are coming through! I also spotted a new Taiwanese-style place. Meanwhile, my friend was having trouble finding the lemongrass Philly cheesesteak lol. And the newer fried crab stall? ALWAYS has a line. That's part of the fun, though. You never quite know what you're going to discover on your next visit, and you can easily turn this into a whole food crawl with friends. Even the little details add to the atmosphere. The leftover sugarcane bits scattered on the ground almost look like wood chips, and somehow it all adds to the lively, slightly chaotic market feeling. It's not some polished, sterile food hall, and I honestly wouldn't want it to be. The vendors and staff are usually absolutely SWAMPED because of how many people come through, so I'm not coming here expecting fancy restaurant service. I'm here for the food, the variety, the atmosphere, and the chance to discover something new every time. It's charming, lively, delicious, and such a fun way to experience different Asian cuisines all in one place. Bring friends, come hungry, and be prepared to walk around several times because you'll probably keep spotting things you want to eat. I love this place. Clearly, I come here enough that I should have figured out the check-in situation sooner. See you again soon!
