    Food here is really good however it can get a little busy and backed up. Small spot and parking is difficult but the food makes up for the little hassle of finding parking. Salt and pepper calamari. Seafood lad na. Roast duck wonton egg noodle soup. Service can be slow since they're short on staff.

    Phnom Penh Dry Noodles

    It's been awhile since we've been back. Since we were in the neighborhood, decided to stop in before the lunch rush. The menu is quite small & simple now compared to before. I was a bit bummed that they no longer have the pure rice noodles (pinned noodles) anymore. But that didn't deter us from leaving. Hubby had the House Fried Rice & I had their Phnom Penh Dry Noodles. Large portions!!! Easily can feed a family of four. Food is still delicious & service is awesome as ever. The owner (I'm assuming) is attentive, nice & very chatty in a good way. If you haven't tried this small local gem yet, give them a try! You won't regret it. Note: large portions & affordable prices.

    Love this little Mom and Pop Shop. However the cook does need some help he's the one taking the orders and the one making the orders. Can never go wrong with their fried calamari or their fried tofu. Their bone soup is definitely my hangover cure

    Phnom Penh (dry style w/ broth on the side) regular $14 with flat rice noodles

    Hole-in-the-wall Cambodian/Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant. No frills. Just simple and comforting noodle dishes. You know this place is legit when you only see older folks dining here lol. Like they could be my aunts, uncles, grandpas. I came here for one thing and one thing only. Phnom Penh (regular size $14), choice of noodles (flat /thin egg noodles, or flat / thin rice noodles). I opted with some flat rice noodles & dry style (has beef broth on the side). It was so warm and delicious!! Portions are so generous. Hard workers and the owner is so sweet. When I was eating, I observe him making conversation with every one of his customers and almost know them by name or usual orders. Impressive! Glad this business has a loyal customers. Thanks to Yelp for suggesting this gem to me. Parking is kinda small in the area but luckily I got dropped off so I didn't have to deal with that.

    just updating to say a large noodle order was enough for 3 meals for me so it's def worth the upgrade. however rice noodles don't keep as well for the next day so i'd order egg noodles for a large i also rly like the community vibe of this place, it seemed like all the patrons were regulars & the owner(?) was like a friendly uncle :)

    Omg where to start! I found this restaurant years ago and got seared in my taste buds but not my GPS. I ended up having a clinical rotation in city heights and I saw it again, this place is an absolute jewel! Great prices and even better food! The owner would know me and immediately prep what I would always order! The beef soup is to die for ! Everyone is very amicable and if you're in the mood, the chat quite a bit as well! The restaurant is simple yet cozy and great for a family luncheon or just a work quick bite, they serve food very fast ! Amazing taste I only hope my review gives them more business !!!

    Came back to Ly Heng today after what feels like forever. I'd been here a very long time ago and honestly couldn't remember what it was like, so I figured it was time to give it another shot. I went with the Phnom Penh noodles (dry) since they seem to be the local favorite. They were pretty decent! Noodles were cooked perfectly, and the bone broth on the side was comforting. But it didn't exactly blow my mind. Maybe I set my expectations too high, or maybe this dish just isn't my go-to noodle dish. Side note: I've tried calling this place on multiple occasions and... they never answer the phone. Don't count on calling in an order. Just show up. My friend mentioned that their shrimp fried rice is good, so I might be back to try that one day. All in all, not a bad experience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    The food here is really good. The service is okay. They are nice and the ambiance is family friendly. :)

    Man I love this place. The Phnom Penh Noodles here were perfect and definitely hit the spot. The broth was simple but complex at the same time. Very authentically Cambodian cuisine. Restaurant is family runned and the owner there was very nice as well. Food came out at a decent speed and the shop wasn't too big. For the size, it was quite busy. Only con was that I couldn't take food to go .

    After what seems like a 5 year hiatus, i finally had the chance to return back to Ly Heng to see if the food was still as delicious as I remembered -- here's my honest updated review as a San Diego foodie who made a vlog about this restaurant that went viral lol I stopped by on a random weekday morning around 1030am with a friend and there were only about two other tables occupied . The sweet older woman greeted me right away as I walked in and offer us some waters . Because i used to come here almost every Sunday back in the day, i knew the menu pretty well and placed the order . Our food came out fairly quickly as the restaurant was pretty empty--- here's what we ate: SALT & PEPPER CALAMARI: Just as tasty as I remembered . I love the batter with the extra crunchy fried garlic and green onions . The dipping sauce is pretty basic as always-- reminds me of just a spicy mayo . Overall, still one of my favorite appetizers . 8/10 PHNOM PENH NOODLES: This was THEE dish we use to come for because the bone broth that comes on the side used to be sooo flavorful and would cure any hangover lol -- this time it was pretty mid . We ordered this dish "dry" with thin egg nooodles . The egg noodles itself was dressed nicely savory with plenty of garlic and herbs. It comes with a variety that of proteins -- minced pork, unbattered calamari, imitation crab, meatballs, and shrimp . The bone broth this time tasted different and a little more on the sweeter side than id like . Overall, not bad and still satisfied my cravings . 7.5/10 BEEF SATE NOODLES: We order with with thick egg noodles for a nice chewy bite . The sauce this comes with is super rich, creamy, and heavy on the peanut butter . This is definitely a dish that should be shared . The beef that they use is on the cheaper side, so its a bit rough and not so tender . I think if i were to ever order this dish again the future, i would substitute out the beef with chicken or even shrimp . This is supposed to be a play on the Thai dish "chicken satay", but over noodles . Overall, the presentation is really pretty, but flavor could be much better-- this dish had major potential . 6.5/10 Honorable mentions-- their mee-ka-thang (gravy chow fun) is really flavorful and always hits the spot . This is served with thick rice noodles, vegetables, your choice of protein, topped with their homemade savory gravy, and fried eggs on top . I love eating this with sriracha . I didn't eat this during this visit, but the table next to us ordered it and it looked the same as it always does . Their beef loc lac rice dish and house fried rice are also a few of our faves . Overall, the customer service was good, the restaurant seemed cleaner, and the food hit the spot for what we were craving . Sidenotes-- this is a small mom&pop ran business, so wait times are normally long if they're busy . Also, parking is pretty rough since their lot fits only like 2 cars--

    Stir fried flat rice noodles with beef
    Thi Anh Thu N.

    This is my favorite spot for hủ tiếu! They serve excellent Phnom Penh-style rice noodles, and both the soup and dry versions are delicious. The flavors are very similar to what I've had in Vietnam. My husband's favorite is the stir-fried flat rice noodles--they have that perfect wok hei aroma. Portions are very generous too. The restaurant is usually not very crowded, so we get seated and served quickly. Definitely a place we keep coming back to.

    Phnom Penh noodles dry with wide flat rice noodles

    Nice little corner restaurant. Parking can be challenging. The broth of the side soup is so flavorful and the meat bones are tender and tasty. The dry noodles come with a sauce and quite filling. However the flavor was a tad underwhelming in the sauce. The service was helpful and nice!

    stir fryer flat noodles with beef
    Pauline T.

    I have no words to describe how good this place is, this might've changed the trajectory of my San Diego living. It's located on a corner and street parking may be a little tough but it's located by a neighborhood. This establishment is a combination of Cambodian/Vietnamese cuisine with its menu being carefully selected to serve their best dishes. I actually love that their menu is smaller as someone who has choice paralysis when she sees soo many options. We ordered 3 dishes: the salt and pepper calamari (MUST GET), stir fried flat wide noodles with beef, and Phnom Penh noodle soup. The calamari is probably the best calamari I've had so far, it honestly is a stand alone dish even without the dipping sauce that comes with it. It's the perfect ratio of batter crust to squid. I reallllllly enjoyed this appetizer. The Phnom Penh noodles is Hu Trieu's direct cousin; broth is so light and fragrant. I can imagine eating this the day after a night out. The stir fried flat noodles were also pretty good, it reminds me of pho ap chao but the noodles were not fried. All in all, I'm definitely making my boyfriend come back with me. The service can be a little slow but the food is so good that I don't mind and I'm more than happy to support a mom and pop shop.

I did not taste any honey or walnuts in the shrimp, just a lot of mayonnaise. The lo mein was the best dish of the night. We took some leftovers home in the cute packaging. The branding here is definitely a strong suit. As we were sitting on the patio, there was a steady stream of customers ordering & picking up takeout. Service was fine. We sat for quite awhile once we were done, and we had to ask for to-go boxes. Then about ten minutes later, our server came by to run our cards. Verdict: FS is cute and bustling. The food is adequate but honestly pretty basic. The prices are quite reasonable. One restroom for the whole place. Paid street parking on Adams Avenue until 8pm & free parking on some side streets. Just check for the parking signs. Peace.

There's barely any parking, and we usually have to park all the way down the street and walk over.

    The $19.99 AYCE on social media is deceiving…read more I took my mom here so we could try this new AYCE option this place was offering based on social media influencers. It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

    for only $19.99 AYCE, they have sooo many hong kong style dishes to choose from -- dim sum,…read morenoodles, roasted meats, seafood, desserts, and more everything came out hot, flavorful, and perfect for sharing with family & friends definitely one of the best budget eats in convoy if you're craving authentic cantonese comfort food!!

    No nonsense Chinese place. A little questionable that a child is doing a full server job, grabbing…read moredrinks, bringing out food, seating people; she does a great job, don't get me wrong, but she's just so young to be working a full service job. Not considering it in my rating, but not really sure how I feel about it. As for the food, the dumplings--amazing. We got the scallop shrimp pork ones. The skin is on the thicker side but the texture is so bouncy and the filling is incredibly umami and juicy. One of the best dumplings in San Diego. Each plate comes with 14 of them so it's pretty hefty. They don't really do modifications especially given that all the dumplings are pre-filled, so keep that in mind. As for the other items, they're passable but not as excellent as their dumplings. The beef noodle soup is good, but a little light on beef and veggies. The scallion pancake is super crispy, a little more like croissant and pretty mild green onion flavor. The noodles in the zha jiang mian were a little too al dente. The zha jiang mian comes with bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, celery, and ground pork in the black bean sauce. Overall great food for a reasonable price. If in doubt get more dumplings rather than their other dishes; that's what they specialize it and are best at.
