We are never disappointed with a trip to Phnom Penh. The service is great and the food is always delicious. I tried the Spicy Curry Soup. It was so flavorful. It might be my new favorite item on the menu. My husband loves their pad Thai. The dining room is comfortable and nicely decorated. read more

I visited for the first time in November 2023 with my friend Lesly. We came for dinner. I ordered the number 6 on the menu (Hue Beef Soup) which was listed then at a price of $8.99. I also ordered the spring rolls which were listed for $3.98 for two spring rolls. I also ordered hot tea ($2) which comes in a small cup but there is also a small tea kettle brought to the table which holds the rest of the tea. FOOD -- This is a Cambodian and Vietnamese restaurant. There is lots to choose from on the menu. I would say that this is a simple/basic restaurant or average. The Hue Beef soup which is under $10 was the perfect dish for me because I was feeling slightly sick on that day so eating something hot helped my throat. I noticed that there was plenty of oil in the soup though which isn't the healthiest. The beef in the soup was tender which was nice. The spring rolls were good too. My friend also ordered the spring rolls and I think she also ordered the same soup as me and she enjoyed her meal. I'd love to come back to try a rice dish but knowing that I love trying different restaurants around town, I know that I won't be back here anytime soon. This restaurant is very inexpensive and service was reasonable quick when I visited in November 2023 which is a plus. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 73/150 total reviews in 2024 - 723 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 July 2024 read more

Came here recently with friends and had a wonderful time! They were mostly doing take-out orders, so we had the restaurant to ourselves, which ended up being great because the toddler in our party had the zoomies. The man running the restaurant was so incredibly kind with her being so energetic and still managed to bring out our food quickly between to-go orders. We ordered the mini spring rolls (cute) and a variety of rice and noodle dishes, which were all quite good! Even the one with a little spicy symbol next to it wasn't overpoweringly spicy, which I appreciated. read more

I got the banh hoy, which was a vermicelli rice noodle with beef and onions wrapped in a lettuce wrap dipped in a house fish sauce. The fish sauce and noodles was quite good, unfortunately the beef wasn't that good. I was quite disappointed. This is family owned business, there was unfortunately one person as the waiter so it was a slow service, however he was very kind when he got to our table. The food did take some time to come out(I think there was only one person in the kitchen), unfortunately it was not worth the wait. It was very mediocre Cambodian cuisine. The mango tea was also lacking flavor. There was a certain flavor lacking in these dishes that I would expect from Khmer cooking. Ultimately I was disappointed here, but if you want to try Cambodian cuisine, it's an introduction to the cuisine and culture. Food: 5.5 Staff/service: 5 Overall: 5.3 /10 read more

I had an ok experience at Phnom Penh. I ordered the Bayon with tofu at Dragon Spice level, the hottest spice level they offered. The flavors of the dish were fine and the dish was good, but it wasn't spicy at all. It was rather mild, instead. Our server never came to check on us after delivering our order to the table, so I didn't get a chance to ask about it. He only came by after we were finished to give us the check. I was just disappointed. The Dragon Level of spice is up-charged and costs a couple extra dollars, too, so I was really hoping it would be more substantial. read more

I've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. Everyone in the family raves about the excellent food and both the Ohio City and North Olmsted locations Phnom Penh salad and hue beef soup are our favorites and we never miss My favorites are the fish cakes read more

This place was kind of hard to find because of the constant construction and no windows. It was super stuffy and hot inside. Every piece of furniture had a light layer of stickiness on it and the chairs were a bit rickety. I had to wait at least 8 minutes to just get acknowledged even though there was absolutely no one else in the restaurant at the time. Another customer came in at the same time to pick up food so I asked him if there was anyone working here and he said it's sometimes like this where the staff is just busy doing stuff in the back for a while... The menu was great and everything looked tasty so the selection wasn't hard. The prices in person did not match the online prices so beware, folks. The portions were rather skimpy and there was slightly too much curry spice on everything but I did enjoy my noodles and finished everything pretty quickly. My BF and I got this egg soda drink that was DA BOMB though. I might come back once construction around the area is done but with the vast Asian choices available in CLE, I might not. read more

Never been to a Cambodian restaurant before and never thought my first time would be in CLE, but I was impressed by the wide selection of unique dishes with authentic flavors offered at this little gem on W 25th! We stopped by for takeout, but they're open for eating in during COVID with a reasonably spacious indoor layout for relatively distanced dining. Since I'm not at all familiar with Cambodian dishes and didn't recognize most words on the menu, we ended up just getting two of their most popular items, the Chha Kreoung Ma Rass Prowt (a deliciously aromatic stir fry with your choice of proteins tossed with turmeric, garlic, lemongrass and lime leaves, served in a very sweet peanut sauce) and the Amok Siemreap. Both dishes were absolutely bursting with flavor but we both preferred the latter, which was an indulgent seafood amalgamation of shrimp, scallops, imitation crab (not crab) and steamed fish cooked in creamy coconut milk and wrapped in fragrant banana leaf. ** Highly recommend ordering your food at least medium spicy to take that flavor explosion to the next level. Kind of underwhelming portion sizes for the price but otherwise an overall impressive takeout experience with phnom-enal phlavors that was a very pleasant intro into the world of Cambodian cuisine :^) Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

My boyfriend and I love trying new foods, and since we'd always walked by Phnom Penh Restaurant, we finally decided to give it a shot--and we're so glad we did! Their pho was amazing; the broth was incredibly flavorful, though I do wish the portion was a bit bigger. We also tried the Cha Kroeung, a lemongrass curry dish recommended by our waiter, and it was packed with bold, delicious flavors. The original Khmer noodles, which reminded us of traditional pad Thai, were also super tasty. The service was really quick and the restaurant was clean. We can't wait to come back and bring our friends next time! read more

I've been dying to try Phnom Penh after someone told me that their absolute favorite restaurant in Cleveland was this. I have to say I was not disappointed at all! The menu is massive and definitely felt a little overwhelmed with what to order but the owner was very helpful in pointing us to dishes that he was sure we would like. We got one rice dish and one noodle dish, both of which were incredible. Service was amazing as well as we were checked on frequently. Overall, we loved our time here and will definitely be returning read more

Love this place, one of my go to Asian restaurants in Cleveland. I normally get the order of crispy spring rolls, coconut soup or curry soup, both are so flavorful. My boyfriend always gets the pad Thai or the cha krueng. The service is so quick and attentive. We love the wooden carving decorations and statues in the restaurant. read more

my go-to spot whenever I'm back in town. I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. Their pho and Hue beef soup have the richest, most flavorful broths, and the pad Thai is hands down one of the best I've ever had. This place is a must try! read more

Having walked by this place literally hundreds of times over the years, I can't believe it took me so long to finally check it out! Upon entering I was greeted by the owner, a friendly gentleman who was quite welcoming and happy to discuss various menu selections. There are countless options that seemed both enticing as well as adventurous, so it was a bit of a challenge deciding upon a dish. Ultimately I chose the Chha Kreoung, a tantalizing blend of turmeric root, lime leaves, lemon grass, galanga root, onion, red peppers, and rice - amazing! This was one of the tastiest flavor infused dishes that I've ever had the pleasure of eating. You don't have to fly to Cambodia to try excellent cuisine, you can visit Phnom Penh! read more

We ordered dinner, and it was exactly as the menu described it. The food was excellently prepared, and when we went to pick up our order, the staff was very friendly. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant so that I could try more of the different things on the menu! read more

Great little hole in the wall but the food was on point!! Quick service and authentic!

I was here with my aunt approx. 5 years ago and have always wanted to return. It was that good. My husband and I came in for a late lunch after walking through the Westside Market. There were only 2 other tables and the lone man working was very nice. They were out of Thai iced tea, but he offered iced coffee, which was just as good so my disappointment was very low. Several people came in during our meal and he was quite busy, but we still got efficient service. My husband had Pad Thai and I had Neak Poan with shrimp. It was so good! It's a Cambodian dish with rice, basil, bamboo, pineapple and coconut milk. Maybe I'll make it back before another 5 years goes by. read more

Visiting CLE. Local market didn't do it for this Vegetarian so i came here for Cambodian food. The Salad Phnom Pen vegetarian medium heat was so fresh, crunchy and delicious!! Mee Khamer tofu was good. Masks worn, tables spaced and quick service. While I was there the owner remembered a woman who used to come before the pandemic- her name AND her order as she came for takeout! Support local all day long. read more

This is such a cute place in the midst of the more flashy restaurants around Ohio City. The prices are very low for a large quantity of food. The menu is expansive and the staff appears to be very knowledgeable and accomadating about your experience. It's not the fanciest or classiest restaurant, but it gets the job done and provides very unique menu items! There is a lot of crossover seemingly between thai and vietnamese, so you have a lot of options and are bound to find something. I would definitely visit to keep trying new things at a very good price in a comfortable setting! read more

The food was awesome! I took my girlfriend here on a date last Saturday and we had a great experience. Food was packed with flavor! The server was very helpful and helped us navigate the menu, We got the Spicy Hue Beef Soup, Phnom Penh Springrolls, Kuy Teav Cha Kreoung Tek Trey Phoem, Mee Khmer, and Pad Thai, all were very good. They have three spicy levels and the medium was the way to go if you are a spicy eater. read more

Phnom Penh has been around in the greater Cleveland area for at least 20 years. This restaurant features Cambodian cuisine, something uniquely different from other Asian food offerings you will find in Northeast Ohio. They can whip up make you some delicious pho (noodle soup), bun (noodle salad, crepes or special fried rice. They also make some really great stir fries, soups and stews unique to Cambodia. Though not strictly a Cambodian dish, their version of pad thai is very delicious. It is colored brightly purple because it is made with pickled red cabbage. It's very flavorful and tasty and I definitely recommend it for people to try. The service can be a little bit slow at times but the food is definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is also a little on the dimly lit side, but it is clean and has ample seating for an intimate dinner for two or larger dinner parties. If you're in Ohio city, one of the neighborhoods of Cleveland near downtown, you should definitely check out this restaurant. read more

Five stars across the board. Food is fresh , delicious and authentic. Family owned and managed. Superb!!! read more

Phnom Penh - Curry noodle soup - Thai Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I absolutely ADORE this place. Its a family owned restaurant and you feel like they are serving authentic food out of their own kitchen. I love looking at the beautiful giant carved wooden panels on the walls. The owners are so friendly and offer great food suggestions. Since I'm not really familiar with Cambodian food, I always ask for their recommendations and they have never steered me wrong. I typically get the Chha Kreoung Ma Rass Prowt with tofu and vegetables. It has a rich peanut sauce and fresh vegetables that I devour in its entirety every time. For dessert I love the Bai Domnerb Song Kyar. Its a very unique dessert with sticky rice and coconut that is just the right touch of sweet. Bonus - this place is BYO! read more

It took several minutes to get seated even though there were only 6 customers in the restaurant. The food also took awhile, around 25 minutes, and the portions were a little smaller than usual for what we ordered. But it was hot and tasty. read more

I have to say this place is a sort of hidden gem. Unbelievable menu we had shrimp rolls which were delicious. Instead of thick peanut sauce usually served at most restaurants the sauce was a light fish sauce mixed with peanuts. I had pad Thai again a lighter sauce than most places I've eaten. My husband had Chicken Basil and that was wonderful as well. With the large menu I'll be back there quite a bit to try everything. read more

Great food, fair prices, questionable business practices. Ordered Chicken Chha Kreoung(delicious) - Menu Price $7.95.

I've walked past this place for years and it's been on my "list" for awhile. What an unexpected, unassuming delight! There is nearby street parking. No alcohol choices at all, so if that's what you're looking for then you may want to BYOB. The decor is exposed brick along with black and red paint and beautiful wood carved panels. A very eclectic style but very cozy, too. We started with the spring rolls which arrived hot and very quickly. For my entree I ordered the Mee Khmer (rice noodles sautéed in a spicy sauce with veggies and choice of meat) which was delicious (thanks, fellow Yelpers, for the suggestion!). The ingredients were very fresh and had a unique, spicy, tangy flavor. I ate the entire serving. I appreciate that you can customize your spice level. I got medium, and my lips are still burning as I type this out My hubby, always a creature of habit, got the beef pad Thai. I had a bite, and enjoyed the addition of pickled cabbage - definitely have never had that in pad Thai before! Note that there is another Phnom Penh location in North Olmsted as well. read more

So i got to pick for date night. It was a poor choice. We both started with the pork rice soup, that broth was excellent. The presentation of all the food was attractive, but that is it for me and my bf. I got the kuy teav chha kreoung tek trey phem and it was dry. I got the combination meat, shrimp beef and chicken. I needed sauce and fresher food, I did not each much although it looked beautiful when it came out. My bf got the preah vihear i believe, and the beef had a gravy that tasted like a packet mixed with water from giant eagle, and his meat was tough as well. My bf was concerned when we walked in and we were one of two tables there at 730pm on a thursday. It looks like fellow yelpers has reviewed this place well, but I just cannot see how, the experience was lacking for us. read more

Real Khmer food! The menu has a wide selection, and the dishes are well done. They're a little on the sweet side compared to my grandma's cooking, but that's all down to a personal preference. If you are unfamiliar with Khmer food and looking to explore dishes besides fried rice and pad Thai, give the Mi Bompoong a try - crispy fried noodles with a flavorful gravy. Feel free to ask the waiter for a picture menu if you can't decide based on description alone. read more
