Sample platter
Simon W.

We had Kreung Kitchen show up at our local LNY festival. My wife and I decided to share the sample platter and it was so good. I decided to pay extra for the coconut rice and short ribs to really try the best they had to offer. This plate was $30 so definitely not cheap but for festival fare, I'd say this is about what you'd expect nowadays for 2 portions worth. Coconut rice was so fragnant, pairing nicely with the savory meats. Their sauce reminded me of nước mắm, salty, sweet, and spicy.

Farmers Market Booth

I have to agree with my fellow Yelper Tuss R. Here, yall need a brick and mortar STAT! I happened upon Kreung Kitchen a month or two ago at the evening farmers market in Playa Vista on Wednesday evenings (ending end of this month) - it was my first time going to this market and had Kreung Kitchen for dinner. God damn the food was FUEGO and customer service/friendly team was cherry on top. I've since been back to the market once and had to get Kreung Kitchen again for dinner. Both times of gotten the plates with some tri-tip last time (the chef let me sample), and the time before that I got a meat combo (as recommended to try out multiple flavors). You CANT forget the sauce that's paired with it - honestly recommend getting two. Kreung Kitchen - where can I find you outside of Wednesday evenings in Playa Vista?!

Lemongrass chicken plate
Tuss R.

Y'ALLLLLL, I need this place to be a brick and mortar STAT! Been following for a while and finally got to try today and WOW. Got the lemongrass chicken plate and the chicken was great but honestly the star are those sides! That coconut rice? YUM! That coconut corn?!! Pleaseee that needs to be a side for all my meals! The people running this spot are lovely. Wow can't wait to hunt them down again so can try the other proteins and maybe load up on those sides! Love my Southeast Asian people!!!

Don't sleep on the rice.  So good

Randomly saw Kreung kitchen setting up at three weavers. Smelled so good while I was having a beer so I had to try it out. Sam and his crew worked so hard to set up. I got a skewer plate with a side of chicken. Get the coconut rice. So light. Fluffy not too flavorful but so good. Goes so well with the dish. Corn has a nice coconut flavor. The beef was seasoned very well. Nice char flavor. Chicken was left. Try it with the fish sauce. Overall very very good meal. Can't wait to come find them again to support and try the rest of the menu

Pork Belly Plate with Twa Ko
Chinsin S.

I've been eyeing Kreung Kitchen for many weeks. Tonight, we finally got a chance to check out the pop-up in Culver City. All I can say is that tonight's atmosphere and meals exceeded our expectations. Before I get to the food, I have to give a massive shoutout to Sam, the owner, and Christina, his partner, for being welcoming, sincere, and kind hosts. They truly embodied the culture of what it means to be Khmer people with their good vibes and energy. They instantly made us feel like family the moment we met. First, I should mention that I'm Khmer, and I agree with the owners of Kreung Kitchen - there aren't many Cambodian restaurants in Los Angeles, which is quite frankly a real bummer, as Cambodian food is incredible. Having just moved here, I was really craving Cambodian food. Second, tonight's food was really fire. This evening, we got the grilled chicken, twa ko, and slow-roasted pork belly, and everything was well-seasoned, well-grilled, and cooked to perfection. You know it's Cambodian food when there's lemongrass! They also made tirk trey koh kong, which is an incredibly addicting dipping sauce. By the end of my meal, I was dousing everything in it. My partner also really enjoyed his plate, and we're already planning our next trip out to see them again! Overall, we're big fans of Kreung Kitchen and will definitely continue supporting this local business! This place is worth the wait and trek out! Seriously, do yourself a favor and swing by. Sending y'all lots of love and support, Sam, Christina, and crew! I can't wait to see y'all bring more traditional Khmer dishes to the streets of L.A.

Combo #3
Nicole V.

We've gone to their pop-up in Culver City twice now. The first time we got the beef skewer combo and the skewer and chicken combo. The second time we got their combo #3 which had all the meats avail that day which was so many! It came with pork belly, beef skewers, chicken, and short ribs. It's truly impossible to choose a favorite. It's all equally flavorful and delicious - the char and marinade on the meat is 100. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Gen C.

Food? Ah-mazing! Came to one of their pop ups in Culver City. Their food is solid. We ordered the combo plates which came with their rice (basmati), pickled veggies, grilled chicken, grilled pork belly and beef skewers. They're all equally good--so tender. The sauce that came with it was divine. We call it the "crack" sauce because side you'll end up craving for more. Food was worth waiting for. They make the food when you order so you can bet that it's fresh! I'm hoping that the people who've tasted their food would spread the word...letting their friends and family know how delicious this place is. CAMBODIAN FOOD AT ITS BEST --it left us wanting for more. They ran out of corn and rice because they weren't expecting that many people. We have already made plans to go back next week. Although this is a pop up place, can't really say much about the ambiance but my only comment is what we felt during dinner was more like a "family gathering" . We really felt like we're attending a family party. Sam and Cristina are very friendly. Sam chatting with customers while cooking the food---it felt like a wholesome event!

Combo plate
Kristina L.

This Pop-up serves up some amazing food!! Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The beef skewers were my favorite. The chicken was very moist. The pork belly melts in your mouth--this is just a preference of mine but I like my pork belly cooked well done. But they cooked it to perfection. Their signature rice with coconut (and I think garlic?) is so good! I'm not sure what gives it the yellow color but it's like crack! I especially enjoyed their fish sauce too! Go try them!

Richard R.

First time we tried the food, a rainbow appeared over head... We knew then that this would be a spot for us.... We have followed them to most of their pop-ups. The food is always delicious and freshly made. Cannot beat Cambodian BBQ....... The Lemon Grass marinade and the coconut milk that is used. Everything tastes so good. Our favorites are the beef sticks, pork belly, rice and corn. Always service with a smile. The crew is always professional, accommodating, friendly, and have great conversations...... We will be back.

Yummy wings
Esmeralda M.

I love the food! The flavors are so aromatic! The beef skewers OOF! I cannot recommend them enough. Sam puts lots of love into this food and you can really taste it! Recently had the opportunity to try a fried chicken sandwich and whatever he marinated the chicken in was amazing! The sandwich was huge! Also, the wings were so crunchy and the dipping sauce was soooooo goooood!!!! I'll definitely get my hands on his food whenever I can! You should follow their page on IG in order to find out where you can find him!

Patricia K.

So happy to have Cambodian food in west LA!! Will definitely be back, 10/10 recommend!!

Tina O.

The food was delicious, and the staff were very pleasant & helpful. I tried the short ribs, pork belly, and beef skewers which had great flavor along side the rice, corn, and pickled veggies. I will definitely be a returning customer and try more items on the menu.

Be careful checking the location, it is a pop up restaurant. Google maps is incorrect, call if they answer ...

One of the best al pastor burritos in LA! A friend…read morerecommended it to me and I traveled 19 miles and wasn't disappointed. You could see the freshness of al pastor on their vertical rotating grill and the meat seemed leaner as well. They cut a new batch of al pastor and then they chop it to smaller pieces than you're normally used to seeing and somehow, those smaller pieces preserved all the delicious meat juice inside. The al pastor was very tender, juicy, well-marinated and had the sweet and savory notes in a perfect balance and the guys adding some fresh, ripe pineapple on top was a nice touch! I got served my burrito open-faced, I added the salsa, pickled onion and chopped fresh onions and then sent it back to the crew for the final wrapping. Just a great, tasty burrito that absorbed really well. The quality could really be seen and felt and the $10 price tag was unbeatable. The customer service was very friendly and there is plenty of parking right behind the taco stand on the CVS plaza. Will definitely come again!

Whoa. The hype is real. For all these years I put street food, taco trucks a step tier below actual…read morerestaurants. But this all changed tonight. I watched a burrito be made right in front of me in a minute and it turned out to be one of the best burittos I've ever had. And it was only $12. I understand now. The added pineapple in the buritto added just enough sweetness. They smash the tortilla into the grill and they also smash the meat to make sure it's hot. The meat has no gristle and it's very soft and flavorful. This is why we live in California. I applaud the taco stands opening up in the same block. The line was intimidating but the festive music only made me hungrier. I am surprised at how friendly the staff can be while they are "at work". I've only seen such positivity at Howlin Rays. Luckily, the line moves much faster. They had a cactus salsa which would have gone great with salsa chips. It's the type of salsa that you get at great mexican restaurants and they just let you choose an unlimited amount of it. I asked for rice and beans in my burrito and they put just the right amount of it, being careful as to not overpower the meat portions. I also appreciate that I can add my own salsa, onions, cilantro, before handing it back to them to wrap it. Sometimes the hype of LA places are blown out of proportion especially with blog posts and social media. But I can vouch for this place. It really is worth it. I will be back for sure.

Cheap and decent street taco spot in West LA…read more I visited this street food vendor for an early dinner during the week and my experience here was pretty decent. It wasn't busy when I visited around 5pm. This taco stand is located next to a Ross and they have a big and free parking lot with many spots. I got 5 tacos for $10: 2 Asada, 2 Al Pastor, and 1 Tripa. They were all pretty solid. The Asada was okay, but it tasted a bit burnt and could've been seasoned more. The Al Pastor was the best in terms of flavor. I also liked the small pineapple slice, but wish it were bigger. The Al Pastor was good, but I've had better at other taco stands. Lastly, the Tripa was decent. I liked how it was crispy, but I wish there were less fat drippings. I also got a Horchata for $5. It was a very big portion, but the Horchata seemed watered down in flavor and not mixed well since there was a lot of grainy cinnamon bits swirling around the drink. They take cash and Zelle payments. The staff were also pretty friendly. Overall, a decent experience here combined with the ease of parking and value for the food. While there are taco spots with better tacos in the area, I would come back here if it's convenient and I was craving street tacos.

Plenty of parking shared with other taco stands and Rite Aid. Support the sweet pupusa ladies!

Cash only business!…read more Not sure if this is going to change or not but hands down my favorite burrito that I have had in 2025/ early 2026 and I would drive up from Long Beach and make the 45 minute drive just to eat at Brothers Cousins Tacos. It's so good, highly recommend coming here if you haven't. So glad my buddy Aaron showed me this taco stand! I didn't really believe the hype but the line wrapped around the parking lot and we waited over 30 minutes but it was worth it. Parking was very easy and the line goes by really fast too. Once you get to the front you see all the meat getting cooked and the al pastor on the spinning machine where they cut off the meat. They employees are in a line cooking, prepping and asking what you want. My order is the burrito with carne asada, cabeza, no cheese, add potato instead of beans, rice. Potato was nice touch and good substitute. For all the non-cabeza people who have never tried it before or was scared, don't be!!! I was one of those people and found the meat to be very very flavorful and juicy. They then hand you the burrito, you go to the cash register, pay and while your doing that you put your toppings on, then they wrap the burrito for you and you are on your way. Make sure to get some of their green avocado sauce. It's non spicy which I love too. Eat your food in your car, on your car on on the curb!

Miya Miya - "Yaz way" Chicken Shawarma Wrap

Miya Miya

I kept hearing about Miya Miya from friends, so of course I had to go see what the hype was about…read more It's basically a food stand set up outside the Edge apartments in Santa Monica, kind of like those late-night taco stands you see all over LA. Super casual setup, but you can tell it's popular. I think they're planning to open a full shop eventually. Parking wasn't too bad, just metered street parking nearby. We got there around 3:30 pm on a Friday... and there was already a line. They don't even open until 4:30. One of the workers came and told us it would be about an hour wait once they opened, so we decided to stick it out. I brought a book, my husband had his games and stuff to study, so we were prepared to hang out for a bit. We didn't get our food until 6:30 pm so yeah, definitely longer than expected. Everything is made fresh right after you order, so even once you finally get to the front, there's another 10 to 20 minute wait while they assemble everything. Also, each person can only order 2 shawarmas, which makes sense because everyone's already been waiting forever and goes all in. The owner was very friendly hospitable and appreciative that everyone was waiting for their food. The staff were upbeat happy , listening to music and vibing while cooking everything. We ended up getting 4 chicken shawarmas (that's the only option) "Yaz way" which comes with spicy garlic sauce and Jordanian pomegranate molasses, plus the beef tallow fries topped with fresh za'atar. And honestly... it was worth it. The shawarma was SO good. Like 11/10. The chicken was super tender and juicy, packed with flavor. They dip the top of the wrap in extra garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses, so your first bite is insanely good... messy in the best way, dripping with sauce, tangy, garlicky, a little spicy. And somehow the last bite is just as good. The garlic sauce actually has a real kick to it, not overwhelming, but enough to wake up your taste buds. And the pomegranate molasses? That was the star for me. It adds this tart, slightly sweet flavor that cuts through the richness perfectly. It's such a unique combo and works so well. The fries were also really good, crispy and savory with that beef tallow flavor, and the za'atar on top gave it a nice herby finish. There's some seating nearby in the apartment complex area by Gelson's, so you're not just standing around trying to eat. I ate one shawarma there and saved the other for the next day, and it was still delicious, which says a lot. Would I go back? Yes... but definitely not for a 3-hour wait again If the line is like 20 to 40 minutes, I'm there. But for a first-time experience, it was fun, worth it, and honestly kind of part of the whole LA food hype vibe.

The highlight of this experience was honestly the owner, Yass, genuinely one of the nicest people…read moreyou'll meet. He made a 2.5-hour wait feel bearable, which is saying a lot. But would I stand in that line again for shawarma? Not a chance. As for the food itself, it just wasn't for me. The flavors didn't land, the sauces weren't my thing, and the only thing I actually enjoyed was the crunch. I'm starting to wonder if shawarma simply isn't my food though my boyfriend would disagree. He liked it, and while he's equally firm about never reclaiming those 2.5 hours of his life, he'd eat it again if they ever opened a brick-and-mortar with no wait. Also, we hated the fries. That said, I'm genuinely rooting for Yass. He left a career in finance after losing his father to pursue this, and you can feel the heart behind it. He's a good person running a small operation that clearly has a loyal following and that counts for something. The crowd was genuinely nice and enjoyable to be around standing in line for that long. The location is in a nice area.
