    Spring rolls

    Food was ok, service was great and the dining area was nice and small but will be back to try other dishes

    a menu for a restaurant

    Formerly Golden House Chinese restaurant. Now a family owned Cambodian restaurant. Kao's Kitchen is a quaint little restaurant that is a great addition to the Lowell Cambodian food scene. You can see the kitchen at the counter where you pay. Service was as expected but the food came out a bit slow. Ordered the special Bai Moun (Chicken Rice). It was delicious; chicken and chicken skin were crispy unlike the traditional chicken rice dish. The rice could use some more flavor; however, the pickled vegetables helped. Portion size was big. Price was a bit higher compared to other neighboring Cambodian restaurants. Would like to try other things on the menu next time I'm in town.

    Chinese Donut

    this was the first meal i had here in massachusetts. lowkey i thought i was gonna be exploring boston but they live in like the outskirts which is fine and i liked exploring it. it reminded me of california before i got to go home yay. my aunt took me to this cambodian place because this other place she wanted to go to was closed. i think this is my first time ever at a cambodian restaurant which is literally so interesting cuz my family is basically cambodian like what. i got mee-katang but my grandma makes it for me and it was good but not as good as hers. i ate chinese donut for the first time in like 6 months and omg it was mid. so that's why when i come back i NEED to eat it. but overall the beef skewers were great and then the other food was awesome too. i will never be back here again which is sad but it's alright. 5 STARS!!!

    But the real standout, in my opinion, was the coconut sour soup -- absolutely delicious.

    Papaya salad! Yes please!…read more Stopped by for dinner from our trip to New Hampshire because we were craving some Cambodian cuisine. The restaurant is very spacious and the staff is very friendly. We were quickly seated on Sunday night and we were overwhelmed with the entree options because the picture menu was huge! We finally decided on a papaya salad, the spicy chicken with veggies and sauteed watercrest. The portions were a good size and everything tasted really good. I really liked the papaya salad because we ordered it spicy and it came packed with a spicy flavor. The papaya tasted fresh and we enjoyed eating with the big green leaves. The spicy chicken was also very good and it tasted great over white rice. We had a great meal and had leftovers to take home.

    Beef Sticks (6/10): Flavor was great, and it was nice and crispy. The beef was a bit dry, though…read more Some pieces were also kind of tough. Way too expensive for what it is. Oxtail Noodle Soup (6/10): The soup was a bit unbalanced in terms of flavors. It also tasted a bit one-dimensional (too much fish sauce). The oxtail was decently good. Beef Loc Lac (7.5/10): This was my favorite dish of the night. Crispy and tender! Flavor was delicious. Seafood Fried Noodles (4/10): I don't recommend ordering this. The fried noodles on the outside were fine, but it was a soggy mess on the inside. That would be acceptable if the sauce were good, but the sauce wasn't good either. Also, bear in mind that you will barely get any seafood with this dish. You'll get a few large pieces of imitation crab and like 2 shrimp. I like imitation crab, but just be warned. Service was very good.

    Simply Khmer will still be my number one go to spot to get Cambodian food…read more The triple combo dish is the way to go. For $20 now, you get sticky rice, 5 spicy wings or 3 beef sticks, and papaya salad. You cannot go wrong with that. I wish I lived closer because I would come here every other week for this dish.

    This place is off the highway but still convenient as it's pretty much down one main street off the…read morehighway. It has a few parking spaces up front and we had no problem getting one during lunch time on a saturday. This place is pretty big and I love that they didn't try to cram as many tables as possible in there. The staff are friendly and wheel out your food on carts vs carrying them on serving trays. The decor and presentation of the restaurant is very clean and modern. - unlike most other places in the area. We've tried other cambodian restaurants in lowell and they don't compare to the ambiance and vibes of Simply Khmer. I'd venture to say other places are very mom and pop style, and almost ghetto compared to this place. The food: Hot wings - are a must order! It looks like there are variations as others come with peppers or other stuff, mine only came with sauce. Based on yelp photos, seems like its hit or miss what you get? Still, tastes great. Crispy but not overcooked and the sauce is amazing. It's not too spicy either. Crispy egg rolls - they were fine but I'd skip these. They are tiny but you get 5. There is no meat so inside is mushy, but the outside is fried perfectly crisp. The soup Kuy Tiew Special - it's just basic pho soup with beef balls, fish cakes and greens. Tastes fine if you want some soupy noodles, but nothing that stands out. Still enjoyable if thats what you're after. My waitress didn't tell us the specials but I kept overhearing the male waiter tell everyone today's specials and I heard about their new chicken skin. I ordered it to try. They are thin and crispy and half the plate is pickled veggies and some jalapenos. The chicken skin is light and airy, fried crispy with some light seasoning. Worth a try at least once. overall, this is one of the more popular places in Lowell for cambodian food and I can see why. I'm looking forward to my next trip back here. Food quality is good, service is friendly, parking was easy and it was not too far off from the main highway.
