Who is cooking the lemon grass chicken ?!!! I got their lemon grass chicken comes with rice and veggies. 10/10 for me, chicken had flavor, veggies were celery, green bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, -- with a side of sweet and sour sauce??? But it was spicy??? --- definitely delicious. I love it ! If you can't eat spicy I don't recommend the sauce but overall the lemongrass chicken and the sauce goes well together !! It's so good. I was working from home and needed a good lunch and this came up on my feed :)
Came for lunch , great lunch special I had the shaken beef . Comes with a bone soup , so good . Not much meat on the shaken beef but for $15 can't complain . Place is clean ; great service . Support local .
Brief check-in: After my first time there I've been another 4 or 5 times. What makes me keep coming back is the simple facts: No Line, Great tasting, veggie centric, Authentic Cambodian & Thai food, friendly atmosphere. The owner Tony just runs the show all day as a waiter and as cashier... Tony recently got back from Cambodia and he's back in the restaurant. His sons worked there during his absence. It's a real mom and pop shop. Super good vibes. Enjoy one and all!
Super cute and such a friendly establishment, with the nicest and the most welcoming people working here! Fell madly in love with their student noodles at first bite so much that we had to get an extra order to go! Amazing beef skewers as well! Tasty house fried rice, Interesting fried chicken dumplings, and solid iced coffee! Can't wait to go back and try more! Highly recommend!
Tasty skewer spot with perfectly pickled veggies. We stopped into this quaint restaurant on the weekend for some Cambodian skewers! They have an extensive menu, and the restaurant seems to be run by just one person.
I came on a Friday morning, and it was packed! Everyone here was Cambodian. The menu is extensive and authentic. I enjoyed the casual vibe. The beef sticks cannot beat my aunt's homemade ones, but the steak cubes/loc lac was delicious! It came with pork soup if you get the rice plate.
Came by for lunch for the first time. The place is small. We waited about 20 mins for a table. We ordered lemon grass chicken, soup noodle and the veggie plate. All dishes were delicious and well prepared. Very reasonable price. Friendly service. Plenty of parking. We will definitely come back again to try their other menu items.
This place is soo goood!!! This was my first time dining at a Cambodian establishment and I was blown away. We even ordered the wrong curry dish by mistake and were still impressed by how it tasted! The larbb salad was delicious, I've only had larb salads that used minced pork so finding out they actually finely chopped beef was kinda impressive, making it meaty with a great balance of veggies. Actually each dish was seasoned perfectly. Their satay is fragrant but spicyyyyyy, they don't play bout their spice. My favorite thing was the chitterlings, it would smack so hard with a beer, hoping that their alcohol license gets approved soon! The service was good too. Parking was easy to find. Overall there's so many things on the menu I still want to try, will definitely need to come back.
What an incredible Cambodian restaurant here in Long Beach. I felt like I was transported to Cambodia through not just the food, but also the ambiance and the obvious community of regulars also enjoying their meal there. I came here on a weekend night, and it was packed, but with minimal wait. Ever since I visited Cambodia, I have been craving the Cambodian-style fried calamari, so I made sure to get that as a starter. The calamari was perfectly fried with its light batter, and then the fish oil and salt/pepper seasonings were spot on. I also got their Boat Noodle, and that hit the spot. It was spicy and refreshing, and all the meats were so tender. The noodles were the right texture too. I am so hoping to visit more to try even more of their menu--definitely give Monorom a visit if you are in the area!
Chill Cambodian restaurant with awesome beef skewers. Went for a weekday lunch. Plenty of parking in the strip mall parking lot. Was fairly busy but was able to get seats right away. There's a good set of lunch specials and opted for the beef bbq skewers. It comes with some pickled veggies, rice, and a side of bone broth. Everything was delicious - beef was well made and flavorful. Enjoyed it with some chili sauce. The broth was a nice addition - more of a mellow goodness vs the pop from the skewers and chili sauce. Would def come back!
Pros: Homey, quick + friendly service, comforting Cambodian food, the restaurant itself has been in that same plaza for years Cons: parking is a bit limited and tight
Stopped in 40 minutes to closing on Saturday evening. Right away we were greeted with a welcoming smile by one of the employee. Interior design is adorned with Cambodian artifacts and traditional Khmer checkered table cloth . Midway eating our food , I noticed a few employees ended their shifts for the night . Kind owner stops by notifying us to not rush, he will stick around to clean and to take our time to eat and to yell for him should we need anything. Highly recommend the mango salad , crisp , sweet , tangy a nice crunch with roasted peanuts and fried pork skins . Kuy Teav Phnom Penh is one of Cambodian popular noodle soup. The stock is made with pork broth with a hint of umami , light in color that packs a punch of flavors , with shrimps, pork slices , minced pork and innards. Be sure to ask for steamed beansprouts to add in the soup bowl. Another one of my favorite is the babaw saht chrouk ( pork rice porridge) with a mixture of assorted meats , pork blood cubes . Really hit the spot during this cold evening . Make sure to order a side of cha quay ( Cambodian fried bread) to dip in the soup.
Great Cambodian restaurant in Long Beach! The food here was authentic and comforting. I visited here with a friend for a Saturday dinner and the restaurant wasn't too busy. My friend and I shared a variety of dishes: -Student Noodle: If chow mein and pad thai had a baby, this would be that dish. Without the fish sauce, the noodles tasted like chow mein. This dish overall was good! While I would still opt for pad thai, the noodle texture was good and I enjoyed the flavors. We got this with crispy pork and it was tasty, but I wish it was crispier. I liked how it wasn't too fatty. -Fish Amok: It did not look like the picture, but the dish was still good. It was a sweet fish curry which was sweet from the coconut milk. This was tasty and the fish was soft. It wasn't fishy at all. This paired well with the rice. I would still opt for a savory curry though. -Beef Skewers: These were yummy and I enjoyed the charred flavor of these! The flavor was very similar to Filipino skewers. I liked how even the fatty parts were enjoyable. Steamed Rice: Fluffy and not mushy which I liked. It came served in this cute rice bucket which preserved the heat of it. The restaurant was decorated nicely and was pretty clean. Bathrooms available which were also clean. The service was good and attentive. There's lots of free parking in the lot in front. Overall, a solid Cambodian restaurant that's worth checking out in the Long Beach area!

I haven't been here in over 5 years! My mother in law wanted to try it so we came after one of her many errands. We walked in and was pleasantly surprised to see not one Asian person in there hahaha thanks to Natasha for bringing in more people to try out Cambodian food! Now How Kev Eats just went too! Business is about to be booming! Love this for them. Even as packed as it was, service was great! Ordered the fried intestine lunch special which came with rice, sauce & a side of soup. Hit the spot! read more
Stopped by for dinner and got seated right away. Restaurant was not too big and decorated authentically. Service was great. We ordered a few dishes to share: Cambodian Salad with Beef Curry Noodles Frog Stir-Fried with Ginger Phnom Penh Noodles The Phnom Penh Noodles were especially yummy. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and comforting. The Cambodian Beef Salad was refreshing and packed with flavor. The frog legs were so yummy, especially with the ginger. The curry noodles were a tad rich for my taste, but still very good nonetheless. Overall, a delicious meal with lots of bold flavors. Definitely a spot worth stopping by for dinner! read more

One of my favorite Cambodian restaurants! I live about 40 minutes away and still made the drive because I was craving Cambodian food THAT bad Everything was sooo good as always! The prahok was a little too salty & bitter for me this time around, but regardless, it was still edible lol and everything else was delish! Definitely worth the drive! read more

Monorom Cambodia is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was great--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food was amazing across the board. I don't remember all the names of the dishes (wish I would've written them down!), but honestly everything we ordered was delicious. The rice alone stood out--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and comforting, the kind that keeps you coming back for more. To top it off, the peach tea was excellent, refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, great food, great service, and a spot I'd absolutely recommend if you're looking to try authentic Cambodian cuisine. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to--next time I'll make sure to remember the dish names because they deserve the credit! read more
I found this place on Yelp and was excited to try their beef stick based on other reviews. I took note that the location was sketch (that was definitely an understatement) but I was still down to go by myself to try it. I called in the order and it was ready quickly. The service was friendly and the restaurant literally smells of delicious food, super homey. The papaya salad was the only edible thing and it was average. The rice was severely dry and the meat stick was inedible- like chewing on a hard pink eraser with no flavor. I was actually confused, it look like it was marinated for a long time and looked so flavorful but it was so bad. The parking lot was more than sketch. There are large groups of people sitting in their busted cars and standing around the parking lot just watching people park. I didn't think anything of it until when I was walking out from the restaurant, I saw them checking peoples doors to see if they were locked! I parked at the opposite end of the lot and this grown man blocked me in and refused to move even after asking him nicely- he threw a man-child tantrum and said he was security for the lot and didn't need to move. If he was security, why block me in and not let others pass? Luckily I was able to finagle my way out of that mess. Perhaps it was an off day but that combined with the parking lot is enough for me to never come back. There are so many other good Cambodian places in the area that's worth fighting to go to and this was not it. read more

Went on Sunday around 2:45pm. All tables were full but one woman had her food packed ready to go. The most disappointing part about this restaurant was their service. Even though they saw my friend and I waiting, they weren't in a rush to get the table ready for us. They also didn't come to take our orders quickly and the food itself actually did take awhile. They originally gave us the wrong receipt when it came time to pay also. The people that served us weren't very friendly, kind or helpful The food itself was also underwhelming. I had heard the pin noodles were great so I tried them. The portion size is good and it's an average Asian noodle dish but it's nothing great. I actually felt it lacked some flavor. On the menu, it says it comes with a choice of meat, but it wasn't until the bill came out that I saw ordering the tofu was an extra $2.95 charge. The tofu was good though. The noodles are fresh and chewy. The vegetables are fresh as well. Don't plan on coming back but at least I got to try. read more
Food is explosive with flavors. Monorom seems like a family owned restaurant so it feels very homey. Portions are a bit small however. Parking is available but I do wanna mention that the street that this restaurant is on is a bit sketchy, so definitely be careful if you come here at night. read more
Food was so bomb. We probably overdid it but I have no complaints, well maybe expect the Phnom Penh Noodles. It wasn't as flavored. But everything else was so good. The chicken in the pad thai noodles was grilled chicken that was probably cooked separately. read more

+ Yummy Cambodian cuisine. The Khmer BBQ Pork is a delicious shareable dish with dips and pickle. Lots of meat - yum! + Polite, helpful staff. . Okay amount of parking. At least this LB Cambodian restaurant has a parking lot. - Only one restroom. + Quiet, peaceful ambience. + Good indoor HVAC during summer with the door closed. (It's hot with the windows open at the other LB Cambodian restaurant, the one without a parking lot.) + Cute giant pink pen for filling out the check. I had: $16.55 Khmer BBQ pork + tip + 10.25% tax = $21 read more

Ordered the beef sticks and they were very good! Lunch special comes with rice, papaya salad and sauce for about $16 (tax included) Service was great, and the restaurant was very cute! I have to come back when I have time to eat inside to try their Khmer vegetable soup! read more
Another visit and was not disappointed again. This spot is legit authentic Khmer food. The husband and wife duo - amazing when it comes to service. The restaurant is clean and when you walk in you're greeted with a smile and can sit in any available spot. This is my favorite Phnom Penh Noodles (dry) my absolute favorite. My husband tried something a little different and got their beefsticks and papaya salad. Omg! I had a few bites of his meal and I was hooked haha. Probably the best papaya salad I've ever had at a restaurant- it was crisps and refreshing, which means they used fresh produce! The Chinese donuts and Nom Hing is always made fresh - love it coming out piping hot. Like I said before, not the best location and its busy parking lot BUT it does not stop me from returning! read more
Being half Cambodian, it was truly a treat to find a meal that tasted like the motherland/home cooking, and Monorom went above and beyond to deliver! Even my parents, who prefer cooking at home vs. going out to eat, raved about it and that's when you know a place is good. From the moment I walked in, there are smells of fragrant lemongrass, toasted rice, and bubbling stews. We ordered Sach Ko Ang (grilled beef skewers) for the table and I had the Khmer BBQ Pork as my entree. Everything was perfectly marinated and charred and the portions were generous. My parents enjoyed the food so much that they ordered additional beef skewers to go. What really impressed me was the consistency and care in each dish. It's clear that this is a family-run restaurant where the recipes come from generations of love and tradition. The staff was friendly throughout our dining experience. If you've never tried Khmer food, Monorom is the perfect introduction. I'd definitely come back again when I visit Long Beach. read more

Excellent food and service. I don't claim to know what authentic Cambodian food should taste like but I do know I love the food served at this restaurant. The beef skewer and BBQ pork are a must and so is its signature rice noodle soup, Phnom Penh. I've tried several dishes here and loved them all except the lemongrass soup, which is just too sour for my liking. Think Tom Yum but twice as sour and that's the Cambodian lemon grass soup. Overall, the food here is EXCELLENT and the service is very friendly. Prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommend! read more

Had to wait over 2 hours for a table of 7 people and after waiting the table that was getting ready for us was still dirty so had to wait about another 15 mins. Then when the food came out half of it was bland and never got ate! Kinda sucks was excited to try it and was disappointed everything was off red/orange color which I KNOW isn't suppose to be like that. I honestly want a refund for everything I got and never ate read more
