Pork intestine with pickled cabbage here: I think it's prepared really well, and if I have any objections, it might just be my own flavor palette. It's deep-fried first, and also braised, so it's crunchy and sweet, which isn't like any other preparation of pork intestine I've had (most of which have been Chinese). That said, even if it was a bit sweet for me, the pickled greens balanced it out a bit, and the crunch was pretty nice. Came with a pleasant tasting broth too.

Stopped by Simply Khmer to try some authentic Cambodian food! Cambodian cuisine isn't something you…read morecome across nearly as often as Thai or Vietnamese food, so I was pretty excited to give this place a try. We ordered the ginger chicken, beef skewers, and fish amok, which is considered Cambodia's national dish. The beef skewers were a nice appetizer, especially with the pickled vegetables on the side. The ginger chicken was another solid choice, with plenty of ginger and vegetables. I also appreciated getting to try the fish amok, a traditional Cambodian dish that's quite different from what you'd typically find at other Southeast Asian restaurants. The portions were generous, and I liked that the menu offered a good variety of traditional Khmer dishes. It's always refreshing to explore a cuisine that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves. Service was good and the ambiance was great. I loved the gift shop aspect at the front of the restaurant. Overall, a solid 4/5 experience! Simply Khmer is definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Cambodian food or want something different from your usual Southeast Asian restaurants. I'd be happy to come back and explore more of their menu.

Between 4 people, we got the triple combo app to start which was yummy with sticky rice, beef sticks and papaya salad. For entrees, we ordered a bunch of dishes to share which is definitely the way to go. My favorite had to be the Amok Trey which is a fish coconut curry served in a banana leaf bowl and the Bo Loc Lac, crispy fried beef tips. Both were really tender and super flavorful! For noodles, we got the dry Kuy Tiew Kok, and both the dry and gravy Mee-ka Tahngs and the dry Kuy Tiew Kok was the standout as it was more flavorful in black pepper sauce and the Mee katong noodles just reminded me of flat white pad thai. Overall really solid Cambodian food and I can see why this is recommended in Lowell.

I can definitely say that our expectations were met. The Somlar Machu Yuon had the perfect amount of sweet, sour, and spiciness. and I especially loved the Tuk Prahok, we were able to customize our dish to have medium rare steak as well! Service was kind and friendly, and the ambiance matched. Nothing fancy, but thats not needed when the service and food are high quality. My parents were impressed with the amount of dishes that they served, and I also ordered a Durian Smoothie to go. 10/10

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! Cambodian cuisine is a hidden gem and this place is a great place to try this beautiful cuisine. I recommend giving this place a visit.

The yellow rice was super fragrant. -boiled chicken with yellow rice: the chicken did not seem very fresh. The color and texture isn't what I usually see. I would skip this one. -papaya salad: ive had quite a couple of papaya salads but this place uses maybe shrimp paste as their base? It smelled different and didn't have that fresh taste. -crab fried rice: another one of my favorites here. Overall it was okay but they didn't seem to have lots of customers so maybe that's why the food isn't as fresh?

But the real standout, in my opinion, was the coconut sour soup -- absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back. As a sweet surprise, the staff even sent us home with a few pumpkin sticky rice desserts to try. Highly recommend. It was such a cozy, homey experience.

They were both served with a variety of fresh lettuce and herbs which really helps to balance the heavier starters. We also shared the whole fried pompano with steamed veggies that was really nicely fried with a crispy skin and tender meat inside. I really like the spicy Lao-style tomato sauce they served on the side as well. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a unique flavorful meal. Super good and I'll definitely be back for the tapioca balls and crispy rice salad.

A Thai + Lao spot, some sweet and sour flavors and some spicy flavors, but for sure good flavor and portions. Here's what we ordered: - Crab Rangoons - Laarb Seen/Lao Beef Salad - Kowpoon/ Laotian Curry Noodle Soup - Beef Pad See Ew - Thai Iced Crab rangoons are FILLING. Good filling to wrap ratio, real crab meat used! I would order those Everytime. If you like the sweeter style filling this isn't it. Laarb seen, was alright the beef and the flavors were as expected but not memorable for me, the protein portion was a bit light for our dish. Kowpoon noodle soup, flavor was on point almost like a Bun Mam. The noodles for us missed the mark, the lady ended up scrapping the noodles on a spare plate. I didn't care for it either. Didn't have good chew, felt overcooked and soggy by time we got it. Beef padsee ew! Yes yes! Great dish, nice noodles, good brown sauce and beef was tender! Ice tea was creamy, you can taste the Thai tea still it wasn't overshadowed by heavy sweeteners. Nice spot, good prices, big menu. Will have to try other dishes next time around!
