    Popped in for breakfast and checked out their 'dry' noodles (bone broth on the side). Delicious, high protein, low fat. Don't forget to take the bone out of the bowl to get to the meat! Parking tight but I snagged a spot close by!

    It's been quite awhile since my last review but our visits here have tailed off after our daughter's graduation. Still worth the drive to Long Beach to get our fill of very good Cambodian food that I've yet to find up north. Parking was still a challenge and I dropped the family in front of the restaurant first so they can join the waitlist. This time I could only find a spot a few blocks away but by the time I walked back to the restaurant, the family got seated. The menu still had the same great options and prices but starting June 1st prices will be increasing. Definitely understandable in this inflationary environment. My favorite every time has been the loat cha with chicken such that the family knows never to ask what am I getting. We've tried the rest of the menu but the family has standardized on their noodle soups or rice porridge bowls. You can count on lots of ingredients, choices of noodles and rich tasting broths. The cha quai (bread stick) must also be ordered as the perfect pairing for dipping. We also ordered the nom sa-kieu (like a fried meat empananda) again and will continue. We ended our meal with a round of iced coffees for the table, strong and delicious. Not bitter at all. Hopefully we'll be back sooner than later.

    Came here on a Saturday morning right before lunch time and we definitely beat the lunch hour rush. They have limited street parking so I would definitely circle around to find some street parking. They have an ipad outside to sign up if it starts to get busy. We ordered the pork noodle (you have the option to do it wet or dry-we chose dry) and the beef noodle soup. The dry noodles come with a side soup as well. My husband really liked the dry noodles since it was well seasoned. The beef noodle soup (with combo noodle types) was good as well. The soup seems very clean and rich with flavor. I would prefer to have some sort of pickled serrano peppers though to give it a citrus and spicy taste to balance out the savory soup. We also got some fried donuts which paired well with the soup. Very quick service and the food came out quick. Definitely a mom and pop shop but with a good amount of indoor seating as well.

    When the line is long, it indicates that the food is exceptional. I was impressed by the sheer deliciousness of their cuisine.

    3. Beef & Meatballs Noodles

    The broth in the beef and meatball noodle dish was so authentic. They offer you a few types of noodles that you can get in the soup like the thick noodles or small rice noodles without an extra charge. I got the big rice noodle and it paired well with the soup. The me-ka-tang was also very saucy and flavorful. And the bread sticks were hot and fresh. It does get really busy in this restaurant so try to join the waitlist earlier in advance!

    Holy moly! My friend and I were craving a savory hot noodle soup breakfast and we stumbled upon this place, and I was blown away. INCREDIBLE dishes - we got the dry noodle dish which came with a bone broth on the side, and Mo's special porridge with the donut. I need to have this again. Plenty of self-service sauces/condiments on the side- traditional Asian eating. It was busy but service was reasonable. The staff were friendly in helping us choose what to order. It was such a nice time. Plenty of street parking around. It's cozy and traditional, what more can you ask for?

    When you walk in, it instantly smells amazing. Like actually so good it makes you even more excited to eat. We were seated immediately, but I know this place usually has a long wait. We came around 11 am and definitely beat the rush. They also have an online waitlist, which is nice. Parking is a little tough since it's street parking and the area can get pretty busy with traffic. The food was sooo good. I got the house special with the soup on the side, and the soup was incredible. I literally could not stop drinking it. So flavorful and comforting. For the noodles, I chose the thick egg noodles and the texture was perfect. The seasoning was on point too. They also have all these extra sauces at the table and they make everything even better. I loved adding the vinegar with peppers, it gave such a good kick. Overall, I can totally see why this place is so popular. Definitely worth coming early for!!!! I cant wait to come again and trying something else.

    This is a Long Beach institution for sure. It is the pathway into Cambodian culture for people visiting Long Beach and an important spot to patronize if you live here. Phnom Penh, named after the capital of Cambodia, is a Khmer-owned noodle soup shop in the heart of Little Cambodia, Long Beach. I prefer to get my noodles dry, which then come with a side bowl of soup and a huge bone to gnaw on. The broth is just so good I love to be able to enjoy it on its own. You need to order the chinese donut so you can rip pieces of it to soak in your broth. I also love all of the accoutrements on the side, the pickled peppers and chili paste. You can also ask for a side of satay, which is a chili oil that elevates the spice of their noodles in the perfect way. I always get a Thai Tea/Vietnamese Coffee to complement the meal as well. They always sell some pastries like sweet fry bread that are good to take home and enjoy later.  I highly recommend supporting your local, family owned businesses, especially ones that are essential to making cultural neighborhoods cultural neighborhoods.

    Food- DELICIOUS! I got the number 3 which is their beef & beef meatball kathiew and it just like how yeay would make it! The broth is to perfection, beef is soft, and flavorful! Service- faster, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance- from the outside it looks small inside, but when you go inside it's very spacious! It feels very homey

    1. Phnom Penh Noodles (House Special)
    Dana T.

    My first time trying Cambodian food and I had to stop by this place everyone's been recommending. I did take out and called 15 minutes before arriving and it was perfect timing. I got #1 The House Special and #16 The Loat Cha Noodles. The house special broth was quite good and I liked the toppings it came with. The pork was a little too tough for my liking and I wish it came with a bit more because the dish was overwhelming noodle LOL. The #16 was pretty good and portion was a good size! Definitely get the Chinese donut on the side too!

    Was craving noodle soup so we decided to come here. Parking is scarce and it's all street parking so just be prepared lol this place is a little hole in the wall and every table was filled when we got there. We put our name down on the yelp waitlist ahead of time tho and was able to get seated by the time we got there. The soup was sooo good and hearty, everything tastes like it's homemade which is what I enjoyed about this spot.

    Iced Coffee

    So many great things about this place, definitely lived up to the hype. You can definitely smell the delicious aroma as soon as you walk in. The food is authentic as you can get. The best place for Cambodian food. The portion is huge, high quality ingredients. The #1 Special full of flavor. Generous amount of meats. The rice noodles are perfectly cooked. Always get the iced coffee paired with the donut sticks. As usually dip it in the broth to soak up the flavor. Welcoming and efficient Service. And the price is affordable. My only issue is that it is street parking only.

    20. Pork Rice Porridge (House Special)
    Loan N.

    Came here before 9 AM and luckily beat the rush- no wait at all. I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I ordered the #20) Pork Rice Porridge (House Special) Congee, and it was exactly what I needed. It's hard to find places that prepare it traditionally with liver, and they did it perfectly. Because we dined in, our other dishes came with a side of broth and bone. The broth was incredibly clear and flavorful. it really hit the spot! The staff were friendly, and the interior is nice and clean. Great spot in Long Beach for comfort food.

    Space is limited. Depending on table availability, they'll try to seat your party close to each other but in separate tables.

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / June 8, 2023

    When I went there last month, I did not see any outdoor sitting at all

    Is there gluten-free option?

    No gluten free options

    Do they deliver?

    They sure do! They do deliveries through UberEats and other services as well.

    Can I get the Student Noodles and the Loat Cha WITHOUT peanuts?

    Yes.

    If one person check in waiting list, usually how long have to wait ? Do you give the sit in order or more people wait first?

    We will Open this coming Tuesday. Standard hours of operation.

    Does the restaurant only open Sat and Sun ONLY? The website said open tue - sun and close on Monday?…

    Sorry for any confusion. The website is not up to date. We’re currently having maintenance issues. We’re in the process of fixing it now. We will be up and running to normal standard times starting this Saturday, March 16th.

    Curious to know if they offer any veggie options/dishes...?

    Does the soup have MSG?

    Yes, but very light.

    Does anyone know What's fit bow?

    A fit bowl has shredded white meat chicken, Chinese broccoli, cilantro, a boiled egg, and roasted garlic, served on top of your choice of wide or thin egg noodles. You can have it with soup broth with it, or with the soup broth to the side with a… Read more

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!

My mom hasn't had Cambodian food in a while so we def made people wonder why we ordered so much lol Food was so savory and delicious. Seating is limited hopefully they can expand.

The iced coffee was solid. The bad: The women who work here were a lot less friendly. The tables were so close to one another that we couldn't sit across from one another. Food also took an incredibly long time to come out even though we only ordered two dishes--student noodles and beef skewers. We also had to wave down a server just to follow up on the iced coffee that I ordered, especially since this was already after the food had finally arrived. Lastly, while it was good that they had their own parking lot, exiting through the almost too narrow alley was incredibly challenging in either direction. All in all, still remain torn about returning.

This almost felt like a mix of Vietnamese Noodles + Thai Pad Thai. the Pad Thai comes from the savory/sweet flavor profile along with bean sprouts and green onions. They also provide a Syed sauce that is very similar to the Vietnamese, pungent flavor, dipping sauce for their eggrolls. - super great dish, Fantastic flavors Overall, really enjoyed the spot! Felt that the prices and portion sizes were reasonable, and a great introductory to Cambodian cuisine (kinda like Viet + Thai mix). Wish that rice were included with some of the entrée options. Parking can be a hit or miss, but service was on point.

The service was EXCELLENT, the decor was beautiful, there were lots of flowers and lavender lighting throughout the venue. With such an elaborate menu and a large group to feed, there was no delay in keeping the flow of dishes in and pick-up of finished dishes. This was a 8-course dinner, served family style. Large platters of food were brought to our table of 8 guests, which was better than a buffet with hundreds of people waiting in line. Course #1 - Khmer Cold Plate with cured meats, shrimp, and pickled veggies. Good combination of protein and veggies. Course #2 - Grilled Beef with Prahok dipping sauce. Good smokey and rich flavor. Course #3 - Crispy Quail - with Khmer seasoning. Very crunchy and different way to eat Quail. Course #4 - Fish soup in a savory broth. I think this should have been Course #2 before the beef entree. Course #5 - Whole fish with pineapple garnish on a bed of noodles. My personal favorite. Course #6 - Lobster claws with Chow Mein, Veggies and Garlic sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed this one! Course #7 - Pork Fried Rice with diced veggies. Rice was definitely a welcome addition to the meal. Course #8 - Taro dessert with Coconut Milk topping. Not overly sweet, a nice way to round out and end the fabulous meal. I am still in awe of the wonderful time we all had. There was a stage and dance floor on the north side of the dining room. Entertainment by a DJ who played a variety of traditional music and popular tunes as well. They do have a small parking lot with valet service.

The live entertainment (singers on stage, band playing, etc.) can be a pro and a con at the same time. It's nice to see and experience, but it also makes it hard to hear sometimes. I can't count the amount of times (over the years) where I couldn't hear my server or even my own family I was sitting with. Service is fair. Staff is usually friendly. Sometimes it can be hard to get their attention, even if the restaurant isn't super busy. Also, parking in the main lot is tight and almost never available.. There's additional parking on the side with an atrocious bump to get up to. Definitely not low car friendly.

We stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp then headed here based on the pictures. There was plenty of parking when we arrived and we were seated immediately because there wasn't really anyone inside on a weekday afternoon. We couldn't decide between what to get because everything looked so good and we were hungry, so we ended up getting the beef sticks, beef larb and angel chicken wings. The beef sticks were probably one of the most flavorful beef sticks I have tried in my life. You're instantly hit with so many different flavors while it's hot. This is something we would get again. The beef larb was a little too tangy and sour for my boyfriend's taste, but he still enjoyed it. He also said the beef in the larb was a little chewy for him, but it wasn't a big issue for him. I enjoy eating sour foods, but it did have us sweating inside haha. I loved the combination of veggies mixed in with the larb and the cabbage definitely helped cut out some of the sourness. The angel chicken wings! Probably one of my favorites because of all the lemongrass and turmeric added inside. The chicken was crispy on the outside yet so juicy on the inside. I also like that they cut up the wings into pieces for you. I'm glad we can across this restaurant on Yelp and got to try it. Next time, I would try the soups like the babaw (porridge) or the nom banh chok (fish rice noodles) because they were items I was deciding between that's still lingering through my mind right now.

    This little gem in Long Beach is a great spot to grab some great food!…read more It's a very small building and there are a few seats outside or you may need to eat in your car but it's worth it! Items to order - the giant fried squid , egg rolls , salt and pepper wings and the seafood chowder!

    what a cute lil shack! they also have a couple of benches to eat at, but very limited parking. we…read moregot lucky someone left the small plaza as we got there. we ordered a bunch of goodies, we heard this place was poppin' and we're RARELY in Long Beach, so we wanted to make the best of the visit (and mind you, we weren't even super hungry) garlic shrimp: very very flavorful, I don't know the exact term but it had the same bite in the back of your mouth when you eat a little too much sweet chili sauce, in a good way. this was like #2 on their top dishes so we figured why not, they also give a LOT of rice. and this came with cute slices of pineapple and lemon. beef stick rice: we ordered everything else and asked for a recommendation of another dish and the lady said to get this. very tender, also flavorful. Since we had smaller appetites, this was basically finished before we left to get back home. seafood chowder: holy moly, I mean the cheese being shredded (chef's kiss emoji), imitation crab, green onions, shrimp, potato, this was so rich and creamy. we regretted only getting a cup but it was also just enough due to the richness (and our lactose intolerant tummies). vietnamese coffee: well I didn't know it was going to come in a cup as big as one's bladder, but this (as one knows about Vietnamese coffee) packed the punch in your throat by the first sip. I felt like I got flashbanged in the gulag. the flavor was also delicious, can't go wrong - but maybe let the ice melt before you try chugging it.

    Service: staff was nice, attentive and knowledgeable if you are undecided on what to order…read more Food: was amazing definitely 5/5. The port belly was crispy and it went well with the two sauce they provided. The pad see was soo delicious as well. The Hong chicken was crispy , tender and delightful. Roti curry was different but was delicious as well. Ambiance. Very simple, cute and had Thai traditional decor. If you're in the area you must try this spot! Price is affordable as well.

    It's a thing now that I have to make a stop here for Thai food. Long Beach has loads of places but…read morethis one takes the cake for me. There's a few nearby which fiends have referred and raved about, but this one left a lasting impression. I love me some boat noodles and they do not disappoint. The nice thick broth with loads of meats all mixed in together. Then you have the Chinese broccoli for the perfect veggie paring. Wow, it so good. Some places cannot get their broth right which does make a major difference. Sometimes it ends up being too watery and defected the purpose. Here, the broth is perfect. Also any of their curries is excellent. This time we went with the massaman curries. Nice thick broth with peanuts, potatoes, onion and carrots in a coconut sauce. Another flavorful dish. And of course we always get the papaya salad Thai style with shrimp and peanut. There also the Laos style with fermented fish sauce and salty crab. It's quite nice too but it could be too strong of a taste for some people. The food has always been excellent. Service was always excellent with friendly staff. They're always so welcoming and attentive to their customers. A must for me whenever I'm down in Long Beach. Parking can be tricky as it's all street parking.
