    Duck quay with white rice

    Highly recommend this place ! Dishes amazing and d price is great too ! Love this place so much

    Roast Duck in Noodle Soup
    Gary G.

    Long narrow Cambodian eatery on a tight commercial section of Westford, but decent amount of parking in back. Easy-to-navigate menus and pictured food items on the tables for reference. Hot Wings: Light on color, suggesting light on crispness and flavor at first glance, but not the case at all. Very crunchy, good tenderness, and a nice sauce that was different from most Thai and Cambodian hot wings. A different kind of sweet, with contrasting sourness, saltiness, fishiness, and heat. Beef Sticks: Crisp on the exterior and bombarded with lemongrass flavor. Somewhat tender, but not juicy and not even moist. Still enjoyable on its own and dipped into table condiments. But wish they had some moisture. Roast Duck: Generous portion, attractively lacquered skin, soy sauce for dipping, and pickled vegetables (mostly cabbage) on the side. The inner meat was extremely fresh and exquisitely tender. The skin had zero crispness and the color of what looked like a glaze didn't translate to flavor. Temperature luke warm. That's not to say you can't enjoy less-than-hot, less-than-crisp duck. I did. Roast Duck Noodle Soup: Big bowl, enough for two to share, and enough duck for a tasting, but a support player. The broth was outstanding, possibly the best broth of any kind I have ever had, and I've been to most of Lowell's Cambodian and Vietnamese restaurants. Fierce poultry flavor with herbal undertones. Leafy vegetables fresh, though different from what's shown on the menu photo. Noodles ever so slightly al dente. The duck was very fresh, though not crisp of skin. Tender meat that was tender already, not just relying on the broth to resuscitate it. Cool place, not perfect, not problematic, a 3.5 seems right, but if I have to choose between 3 or 4, I'm going 3 only to distinguish it from a few other nearby Cambodian places I regard more highly. But definitely good enough to go back and one you should check out.

    This place is legit. You are not here for beautiful decor, you are here for good Cambodian food. There is a parking lot in the back. It also seemed to be the main entrance most folks use.

    Food was outstanding. Exceeded my expectations. Flavors are as close as they can get with Cambodian food. Every dish ordered was loved by all members of my party, and we all have different flavor palettes too. There's something for everyone. Service was great, servers were nice and attentive to customers. The environment was pretty nice. It felt like you were in Cambodia. Was clean and had plenty of seating Highly recommend! You're getting great value for your buck for some of the most prized foods in my opinion

    Beef loc lac

    Couldn't help but order so many dishes from the large photos they have on the table! Some of my favs that we ordered - Loc Lac - Large Coconut Curry Soup - Huy Keung (ground pork with taro) - beef stew noodle (must get) - delicious beef sticks (lemongrass) - salt & pepper shrimp - strawberry lemonade ice tea was a hit too Definitely would come back for more on their menu

    Mekathung
    Pag M.

    Best Cambodian spot in Lowell. I live in Lowell and eat here all the time if you are ever here take a trip to Phonem Penh restaurant and try some authentic Cambodian food. It's usually pretty busy but the service is quick. The serves are very friendly and will help you choose what to eat. Since it's busy sometimes it tends to get loud but when you walk in there it feels like you're in Cambodia. Always a great time when I'm there, a must try

    Kathiew Kaw Go, loaded w beef, tripe and tendons. Broth is rich and savory.
    Channa M.

    Authentic Cambodian Restaurant. My go to place for Kathiew kaw go! The dish is rich and savory. It always hits the spot when I'm craving something spicy. It's loaded with beef, tendons and tripe. I always add meatballs and Chinese broccoli for texture and crunch. Best in town!

    I always come here when I'm in the mood for Kuyteav, as in my opinion, they have the best kuyteav out of all of the Khmer restaurants in Lowell. I was craving meekathung (chow foon) today and there was so much that it overflowed my plate. But that's what I love about Cambodian restaurants, they always give you a full plate of food. Usually it comes with more vegetables, but I don't bother eating those so I requested only Chinese broccoli. I tried the Green Tea for the first time and I really liked it. I believe it's Green Thai tea, as the taste is similar to Snowdaes' "L Tea" but not as sweet, just how I like it. The servers here are always nice and welcoming. They always ask me if I'm getting shaved ice afterwards because I was a regular for that specific item last summer LOL. They remember you after a while and I like that a lot. Makes me feel special ^_^ Also, I believe they're the only Khmer restaurant in Lowell as of right now to offer shaved ice. It's such a big amount too. It's such a homey restaurant. 5 out of 5 stars for me!

    Thai tea on left, blue tea on right was amazing but don't know the name

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.
