Limited parking for the plaza is available across the street. We found street parking. There are about 8 tables and the place is very popular by locals of all different nationalities. It appears to be a family run business. We were greeted as Sol as we came in and told we could choose where to sit from the available tables. Our server was a young man (about 18) that was super nice and also gave us recommendations. Hot tea was brought to the table a few minutes lates. We started with their spring rolls that were freshly fried and very. I went with the flat noodles with seafood for my main course. Sauce was delicious and the overall dish was fantastic.

Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

There are plenty of Asians eating in here. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli and it was full of fresh cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, and sprouts. The meat had one flavor note which was salty, no grilled smoky flavor, no caramelization. With a $4.75 tapioca dessert, tax, tip and the "convenience fee" for using a credit card lunch was 28$. I felt like I could have used slightly less ambience and more caramelization on the pork or a 10% bigger portion and it would have been really good.

This was our first taste of Cambodian food and we are here for it. I have tried numerous dishes at this place. The rural sour soup with catfish is my favorite there. The broth is so vibrant. The kefir lime leaves give it a beautiful aroma and flavor. The sourness of the broth and the umami (probably from the fish/shrimp paste) is a gift that just won't stop giving. The chunks of catfish take this dish up several notches. The greens are also a great addition and they aren't your typical greens you will find in an American supermarket. These are Cambodian greens. I also liked their pickled mustard green soup with pork ribs and chicken lort noodle. The lort noodles had a great snap to them. Quite unique!
