Morning glory with pork belly aka trokuon
Claudine R.

I just love coming here. And I usually get the same thing, but this time, we tried their chicken wings and it was perfectly fried, light batter and delicious. Ordered the pork chop with rice snd barbecue duck and it came with beef broth, that beef broth was the soooo good. I can only imagine how good the noodle soups are which I'm definitely gonna try next time.. I just wish we live closer.

Dined here a few times during my recent visit to Lowell. I wouldn't say what I had here is the best I have ever had but it's certainly decent considering the volume of patrons these guys serve daily. Each time we dined in, the restaurant was at capacity which tells me this restaurant must be a local favorite. The menu offers a variety of noodle and rice dishes including signature Khmer dishes that are made in just about every Cambodian family household (curries, papaya salad, rice porridge, etc.). It's a good choice if you're in the mood for some quick Khmer influenced food. It gets packed for lunch so prepare yourselves if you're short on time.

One of the good restaurant to eat in lowell. Since moving back to lowell. I will enjoy more khmer food

Lort cha special
Byanca Y.

There's parking in the front or the back, but the plaza is sometimes so busy it's hard to find parking. We went as a group of 7 and the workers were very attentive. There is a slight language barrier if you don't speak Khmer but the workers are very patient and thorough to make sure you get what you ordered. I got the Lort cha which smelled and tasted really good. Everybody else got their own dishes like meekathung, fried chicken and rice and kathew kaw ko and everything was delicious. Would come back and try family style next time!

Papaya Salad
Gary G.

In the center of Lowell's Cambodia-town, a restaurant that looks tiny from the outside but is actually quite roomy. Bustling crowd on a weekend lunch. Our official server didn't know the menu too well and was a little unmotivated, but the manager sensed this and stepped in often to fill the void. Pleasant overall vibe. Papaya Salad: One of the best restaurant dishes in terms of flavor (high) to fat (low) ratio, it's crunchy and tart and, depending on where you get it, can also be salty, funky, sweet, and/or spicy. It can differ among the cuisines--it's a staple in Thai, Cambodian, and Lao food--as well as among the restaurants within that cuisine. This one delivered the crispness and kept the remaining characteristics in perfect balance, with the heat set to a constant tingle to accelerate the overall flavor rather than overpower it. If my other favorite Cambodian rendition at Peephuptmei (at the other end of the same street) is the papaya salad equivalent of The Who, this one was more New York Philharmonic. Both are virtuoso presentations. Roasted Quail: The name is a little deceiving, because this quail is fried, but other than that, no complaints at all. You get five to an order and you can feel like a he-man taking an entire quail into your hand and having your way with it. You don't see the seasonings, but they are there, and it even tastes a little like bacon. Very crisp outside, juicy inside, and no dipping sauce needed at all. Beef Loc Lac: Basically, this is steak tips, Cambodian style. Not bad, but the version here is a little less exciting than some others around town. Good crispness, okay tenderness and flavor. Lemongrass Chicken: This is a tough one to find on the menu, because the menu is a little confusing, but with enough pointing and asking you can get this chicken dish which I think is the equivalent of Cha Kroeung Sach Moun at Simply Khmer. Coated in a yellow paste that I believe has lots of lemongrass. Don't take my word for it, but good luck getting a full description out of the server. Whatever it is, it's pretty good, and goes well with the white rice. BBQ Duck: You can get the roast duck, which comes unsauced, or the BBQ duck, which is lightly covered in sauce that complements the poultry. This was crispy even under the sauce, tender, juicy, and very enjoyable. Would get it again in a heartbeat.

Lod cha
Caitlynn Y.

actually awesome super spectacular. my very last time eating in massachusetts. how sad. this was my departing goodbye meal. i ordered the lod cha cuz i didn't know what that was and the photos online seemed interesting. it was honestly really really good. or maybe i was just hungry. but it was a but hard to eat with chopsticks because it just kept slipping but i realized that a better way to eat it was with a spoon and basically just scooping it. but it was soooo good. the egg was so like idk just the way i like my eggs and then the protein was yum too. i ate more cambodian food in like 3 days that i have my entire life. actualy that's a lie but it's usually the same stuff. but that was an awesome and unforgettable thanksgiving i had yup.

Beef, meatball, and quail egg kathew. Yes I add quail egg! Try it
Nyra I.

This is my go to spot when I want Cambodian food. Their Kathew is delicious. The aroma of that broth is insane. It's like you don't need to add any Sriracha or Hoison sauce.. but I need to. Been doing it my whole life. This is by far the best kathew in town. If you want PHO that's different. It's Vietnamese. You can also bring your own beer! They also have karaoke. Atmosphere can be updated a bit. The service is always amazing here. I'm a regular so they know my order by heart.

Ilya T.

With so many Cambodian restaurants in Lowell serving what is basically the same food with varying degrees of flavor it was interesting to visit this spot considering how popular it is with the locals. They serve a healthy portion of food for a very reasonable price, where they fall short is the flavor. The taste coming from the kitchen feels very commercial and lacks that family feel you get at Mekong Restaurant or Peephuptmei Restaurant

Loclac with egg
Rico M.

My first time here, i got the loclac, the beef had a nice grilled flavor while the rice was fresh and flavorful.. I will definitely be back¡¡

Thuong D.

This place is so good, I love Hu Tieu Nam Vang and the customer service was awesome, My friends and I are Vietnamese so we couldn't understand Cambodian but the Cambodian staff tried his best to speak Vietnamese to us and we totally understand what he said and we got our food came out as we expect it to be! Prices are so affordable. We will come back and this is my 8th time eating here.

We ordered several food to go. The fried rice had good flavoring and a fair amount of meat. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. The sour soup vietnamese style had plenty of vegetables and just enough spices. The beef chow funs with gravy sauce were delicious. Our family shared two bowl and they were completely gone. A few days later, we went back to get two phnom penh noodles. They were not greedy with the soup. The broth had enough flavor that the condiments became optional. There seemed to be plenty of space to eat and the staffs were friendly. Overall, had a great experience and never had to wait long every time we stopped by to get food to go.

I can't say that I know much about Cambodian food. But I ordered the waiter's recommendation of…read moretheir special pork intestine dish, and I have eaten a lot of pork intestine! 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.

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.

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.

Restaurant felt like a local neighborhood spot for local families to come in and have dinner. About 9-10 tables. I called ahead and informed them that we had a party of 7-8 coming in. The front desk guy was super cool! Great customer service. He accommodated us and things were set up quick. He said over the phone he would take care of us and he did. Appreciate you! Food 4/5 - it was my first time having Nam Khao at a restaurant. Other previous times have been home made. I'm not sure how I feel about paying $19 for this dish lol it was a good portion but a little hefty. The wings were good but I still prefer Simply Khmer. My wife had pad thai and requested it to be extra spicy. In our experience at other restaurants, when you ask for spicy, it's never spicy. Lanxang does it spicy and we quickly figure that out lol it still packed a good punch of flavor! Overall, I would come back to try their other dishes. I want to try their papaya salad and boat noodle soup. Will definitely come back!
