    Bams combo

    The restaurant isn't visible from the road but trust your gps! It is brightly painted outside and very old-timey diner inside. Five grandmas are here to prepare fresh food for you that is pretty darn good! The fellow who waited on us was happy to explain the menu. Kathiew with flank was really good. The broth is warm and rich. They give you bean sprouts, lime, cilantro, and basil to season it. The soup contained a generous amount of noodles and meat. They also offer a combination kathiew. Maybe I'll try that one next time! My husband had Bams Special. Three wings, rice, fried egg and pickled daikon. I also ordered the green Khmer tea. It is nice. Less sweet than Thai tea which is a good thing for me!

    The food, pricing, and staff here are all amazing. Georgia's first and only Cambodian restaurant, so definitely an experience and what a place it is. To go down it very quickly; everything on this menu is great. If you have any questions on something the staff is more than willing to help you make a good choice. Be sure to get some Khmer Wings, they're super crispy and ta...you know what, never mind, don't get those. You don't want them... I'll have them all. The curries and soups are flavorful, and they really have an army of Cambodian grandmas in the back kitchen doing their thing. They're a bit off the beaten path so a bit easy to miss, but once you're in you're fine. They offer karaoke, the place is large and a great place to host a party too. Seriously check them out, they're nice and the food is awesome.

    Kathiew (Cambodian version of Pho) the broth was very flavorful

    Me and my family went to Khmer Bowl as I am half Cambodian and this is the closest Khmer restaurant to me. Everything we had was delicious and the staff was very helpful and even let me sample Prahok Ktiss which was soooo delicious. We orders kathiew (noodle soup), cambodian chicken wings with crack sauce, beef on a stick, Khmer tea to drink and combination fried rice. I can't wait to go back and try more. It is pricey but the food is delicious.

    We are never on this side of Atlanta, except to visit a viral TikTok Cambodian pho place just minutes from here. However, they'd sold out of pho before we arrived, leaving us to search for a suitable alternative. Considering this place has been labeled as the ONLY Cambodian restaurant in Atlanta, we thought we'd give them a try. [ THE FOOD ] We ordered two bowls of KATHIEW, one regular bowl with beef steak and meatballs, and the other also included shrimp and a beef rib. We also ordered EGG ROLLS, KHMER WINGS and BANH CHAO. MEATBALL & BEEF KATHIEW | $16.99 Cambodian rice noodle soup similar to pho, but without some of the spices that make pho so fragrant and unique. (3 stars) COMBO KATHIEW w/beef rib | $24.99 Beef flank, beef meatballs, and shrimp noodle soup w/Beef short-rib bone. Lacking flavor and not worth the price (3 stars) BANH CHAO | $17.99 A crepe made from rice flour, water, turmeric, and coconut milk filled with ground chicken and bean sprouts and served with fresh herbs and vegetables with a sweet and savory dipping sauce. My wife ordered it without the chicken (3 stars) PORK & SHRIMP EGG ROLLS | $4.99 Includes 3 fried spring rolls and dipping sauce. The flavor was fishier than I expected. (2 stars) KHMER WINGS (8) | $9.99 The taste was just average, but the "crack sauce" for $1 was a worthy investment for the extra boost of flavor, making them the best item we ordered. I do think the crack sauce should be included for the price. (4 stars with crack sauce) [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Most everything we ordered IMHO lacked flavor. I realize Kathiew is NOT pho, but still I was expecting it to be more flavorful. I suppose the most exciting thing about our experience here was learning the diner scene from the movie BABY DRIVER was filmed here. I crosschecked still shots with the current interior and it was indeed a match.

    Beef sticks
    Amber M.

    Khmer Bowl??? Baby when I tell you RUN. I had the wontons and they were so good. Perfect texture, flavorful, and not skimpy on the filling. The beef sticks were marinated to absolute perfection. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. Now let's talk about that Kathiew bowl with the beef short rib. The broth was TOP tier. I'm talking rich, deep, comforting flavor that tastes like somebody grandma been stirring that pot all day. The short rib was fall apart tender and seasoned just right. But my favorite? The Salaw Machu Krueng. Listen... it reminded me of our Mississippi pot roast but elevated and full of bold flavors. So damn good. It was comforting, hearty, and just hit every note. That dish alone will have me coming back. And the customer service? 100000/10. So welcoming, so kind, and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. Khmer Bowl is officially in rotation. If you haven't been yet, go. Period.

    Beef on a Stick
    Michelle H.

    Khmer Bowl is the only Cambodian restaurant in Atlanta and possibly the state of Georgia. I was excited to try it out as I have some family ties in Cambodia. It is nestled in an old diner in South Atlanta. The interior is very much like an old diner with the red booths and high countertops at the front. The restaurant was empty when we arrived except for a few old grandmothers, who serve as the cooks, and a middle-aged man who was the owner. He was friendly and humorous (stated that we could karaoke there or enjoy ourselves at the slot machines in the back), even offering to give us a refund if we did not like the food. We got the Beef on a Stick, Cha Kroeung, and Prohok Ktis. The Beef on Stick had a very sweet glaze which I was not used to. Usually, Cambodian beef skewers are more dry and have a lemongrass marinade on them. I liked the pickled vegetables that came on the side, though. They were very sour, which is how my mom makes them. My friend got the Prohok Ktis and she was not sure if she liked it, likely because it was a new taste. I got the Cha Kroeung which is a stir fry chicken dish. I had a hard time finding the pieces of chicken, which were cut really small, because the dish had a lot of vegetables. Overall, the dish tasted alright. I really wanted to try their Chicken or Green Curry, but the grandmother who makes the curries was not at the restaurant the day that I went. There were also non-Cambodian dishes on the menu, such as crab rangoons, fried chicken, and more. I think that Khmer Bowl has a lot of potential. Cambodian cuisine is hard to find in the United States, so I think that the taste is still very unique to a lot of people (such as my friend and myself). I am hopeful that this restaurant and Cambodian food continue to blowup in mainstream culture.

    They got some real deal holy field cambodian food there. Service was great! Food tasted like it was made with love. Nothing was watered down flavor. Will come again!

    I've been coming since they've opened, the new QR code menu is a big help. I usually get Kathiew but I decided to try to loklak this time; it was sensational. The garlic with notes of soy and oyster sauce were a great pleasure. The papaya salad with beef made a tart and savory mixture. Pro tip, you don't seem to season the salad but extra oyster sauce or chili oil won't hurt. Couldn't ask for more. It's a very homely ambience next to a hotel and gas station but the service is just as homely and friendly as always.

    Pho/Kathiew
    Mimi N.

    Pho (Kathiew) was amazing! The broth was perfect, rich, hearty, and full of depth. A lot of pho spots serve broth that's watery and flat but this one hit just right (coming from a Viet person). The owner was super chill and the ambiance had a fun touch with karaoke in the background. Hole in the wall!

Once you park and step inside it's such a cheesy mom & pop business overly decorated in Thai decor. The restrooms are ALWAYS clean. This is not fast food, you will wait a little while even 15-20 mins for takeout, but it's worth it. My favorite spot on the Southside. I first discovered this restaurant while in Real Estate school at Barney Fletcher. Most evenings we tried to hurry and find close dinner options. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. It can add up to over $40 if you're greedy ordering several items like an appetizer + entree + dessert. I've eaten on my leftovers maybe 2-3X. No exaggeration! The best dish I've had is Naam Khao (crispy rice w/ fermented pork bits, fresh veggies and wrapped in lettuce) and Laos spring rolls (crunchy) . Thai tea overly sweet so it's best when watered down from the ice. Mango sticky rice is a purple color and yummy as well. Unique earthy taste, but still sweet and on par. I will drive 20-30 mins bcos I crave it sometimes. Everyone I've introduced to this place are fans on the first visit. I almost want to gate keep! lol

Again, very large portion.

Compared to Quoc Huong's banh mi, I found that Lee's bread and the sandwich overall are way less dry. They're more intentional in the use of their sauces to keep the inside moist and extend flavor, and their bread tasted fresher, with a a better taste and texture to it. I've also tried Lee's spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee, and those weren't much different from Quoc Huong's or other well-known Vietnamese spots in the area. If anything, I prefer Quoc Huong's for those items, but you won't be missing out on much if you choose to have a snack here while picking up banh mi.
