I've been to Cambodia and enjoyed trying some of the dishes from my travels there. Major nostalgia eating at Reathrey Sekong! The interior has Cambodian decorations everywhere, like photos, Buddha statues, and instruments, plus Cambodian music playing, which I always appreciate. My husband and I had the lok lak beef salad, steak and thuk prahok, one egg roll, one spring roll, jackfruit sweet rice, and banana tapioca. The standout was the lok lak, which includes beef coated in a glossy, peppery sauce with some veggies and rice. We both really enjoyed this. Everything else was great and felt authentic. The desserts were not too sweet and were so light to finish out the meal. The price is a quite high for the portion of the food; if they want to keep the prices as is, I suggest giving more food. It was also intensely hot inside, so we had to eat in a rush and leave because we were so uncomfortable. So I had to drop a star. Also not a negative, but they only take cash, Zelle, and Venmo.

Cambodian food isn't nearly as easy to find as Thai or Vietnamese, and Reathrey Sekong offers a phenomenal experience. This unassuming spot in Midtown is easy to pass by, tucked away on Indian School Road, but is well worth seeking out. I stopped in for dinner on a quiet Friday night and was greeted by the host right away. The menu covers a wide range of Cambodian specialties, most of which I wasn't familiar with: the menu has very good descriptions of the fare. I settled on a fresh spring roll and steak with thuck prahok, chased with iced coffee. The spring roll was very similar to a Vietnamese summer roll, though with the addition of chicken to the shrimp, mint, and vermicelli. The bright, vinegary dipping sauce was a fine accompaniment. The steak dish was revelatory: thin slices of medium rare beef were served with raw vegetables and thuck prahok: a sauce of lemongrass, lime leaf, garlic, eggplant, chili, galangal, and prahok (fermented fish paste). The menu warns of its "strong pungent taste", and there's no easy way to describe the flavour: bold and bracing, without being overwhelming or overly salty. This is absolutely worth a repeat visit

Fresh spring roll (chicken and shrimp)

This little hole in the wall is a gem! The restaurant is homey and comforting and thankfully has its own private parking lot with adequate spaces. I came in with three other people on a Saturday evening around 6:30 and it wasn't too busy. We were immediately greeted and seated and the waiter was very helpful and friendly throughout the evening, offering suggestions as well. We ordered the fresh and fried spring/egg rolls, the kathiev cha, Cambodian pork chop, lok lak beef, and cha kreung. The food came out reasonably quickly and everything was fresh and flavorful. There was definitely an adequate amount of protein per serving and the portion sizes were good as well. The pork chop was definitely a highlight of the meal. It was a little warm in the restaurant so dress lightly and bring your appetite! As a heads up, there is a sign on the door says that they accept venmo/etc and cash, and credit cards are a 4% surcharge. While Cambodian food is not as commonly found here as other cuisines, I was thrilled to try the fresh and flavorful food at Reathrey Sekong and highly recommend!

Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is a little darker with all Cambodian art work, a real marvel to look at. Also love that they're open late, we came in around 11 and it was only a few tables. Food came fast and was so incredibly satisfying. Will definitely be back!

Green mango grilled fish

Tried Cambodian food for the first time! Can't speak for authenticity but I thought the food was very flavorful and service was great. The restaurant is pretty easy to miss since there aren't any obvious signs so I suggest slowing down when you're near or you can easily miss a turn into the parking lot. Kind of a hole in the wall place! If you have had a lot of Southeast Asian food you may find some familiar flavors such as fish sauce, lemongrass, or the use of tropical fruits. We tried the green mango grilled fish, lemongrass soup, and lot cha. The green mango fish was good, it tasted very refreshing. I kind of expected it to be more grilled though! The sea bass was nice and soft. The lemongrass soup is strong and flavorful! It was nice with rice. The loat cha had some chewy short tubular noodles that I really enjoyed! It was also strong in flavor, smoky and a bit salty. The fish and soup each came with a bowl of white rice. Waiter was kind and patient. Gave us the top 3 most ordered dishes and then a few of his personal favorites. Happy to answer any questions we had as newcomers! Easy to switch out the proteins with your preferred choice. Also mentioned you can't get loat cha noodles at any other restaurant in AZ so I would recommend trying that if you want to go for something new. Also let us stay as long as we wanted after to chat. Cash only but they also do Zelle or Venmo!

Curry Soup
Sukhpreet S.

Great restaurant to start off with if you are new to Cambodian food! Excellent experience!! Great staff and welcoming energy right as you walk in! Place is a little small but that makes the food even better, at least I think so. Tried Cambodian food for the first time! Can't speak for authenticity but I thought the food was very flavorful and service was great. The service is polite, genuine and positive. The food is incredible. It's worth whatever wait you may have. Parking will be in the back but can be hard to miss the actual restaurant. Payment; Cash, Venmo and Zelle Pictured is: Curry Soup with white rice (almost like a red curry, but this one will have a more "earth" flavor with more spices. Student noodles (almost like a Pad Thai flavor)

Mi keau

I once watched a documentary about Cambodia. I won't say my mouth was salivating over Cambodian delicacies like fried spiders but I will admit I was intrigued.. I was hoping to be blown away by dishes consisting of unique flavour and spices, but I wasn't. Perhaps that was due to my selection-the Mi Keaw soup which I thought was bland and flavorless. The highlight of the soup was the home made dumplings. I did try the lemon grass chicken which was phenomenal. I will come back again and will definitely order the lemon grass chicken or lemon grass soup.

First time trying Cambodian food, and it definitely won't be the last. This place is warm and cozy, very homey feeling. The service was delightful, helpful, and informative.

Student noodles, lemongrass soup, bbq platter
Jaimie H.

One of the best Cambodian restaurants I've had in my life. Every time I travel I always look to support local Khmer restaurants. I was surprised to see one in Phoenix. The authentic flavors caught my attention. It is so flavorful and encompasses so many traditional khmer dishes. Portion sizes are not large but will leave you content. While it is a bit on the pricier side of other Khmer food I have seen and felt like Disneyland line for the food to come out, it became clear in the first bite that you're waiting and paying to eat such great quality food. We were so impressed we had to pay compliments to the chef before we left, as we have never had food that tasted so close to home at a restaurant before. If you're looking to try high quality and authentic khmer food, this is the place to go.

Kathiev Cha
Jessica G.

Authentic! 95% of the menu is gluten free. So many delicious flavors. We tried about 5-7 dishes and everything was amazing! Start with an iced coffee!

Steak and thuck prahok
Stephanie O.

This place has been bookmarked since I moved to Phoenix but I didn't get a chance to come and try it until recently. Definitely regretting not coming sooner! Ok so this place does not have obvious signs and you can easily miss the entrance to the parking in the back and the door is in the back as well. Hole in the wall place? Yes. BUT the staff is friendly and the food was awesome. We had the curry soup which I definitely recommend. That was so good and perfect for our Phoenix winter weather. The student noodle with chicken was flavorful and the noodles were nice and chewy. We tried the steak plate but that was my least favorite dish of the night. We also had the jackfruit and sweet rice which was such a nice finishing touch to our meal. Give them a try! I know I will be back for more.

Banana Tapioca
Winnie L.

Protip: Definitely give this place a try! I'd recommend the BBQ platter for a taste of all the meats. Highlights: Everything we ordered was delicious and honestly, I wish we could have ordered more. I'm definitely coming back to try more items on the menu. BBQ platter is a great way to try all the Cambodian meats, pineapple soup had a good amount of fish and flavor, jackfruit and sweet rice was delicious and loved the banana tapoica. Service was amazing as well. Lowlights: I thought the banana in the tapoica was a bit on the unripe side, so it was hard and not as delicious as it could have been.

Cambodian bbq platter
Narenda C.

Doesn't look like much when you drive by, we actually nearly missed it because it was along a busy road. Signage was a bit hard to see as it was dark but we managed to find our way in. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant, so if you drive slow enough you won't miss it. It was quite warm in there as they only had the fan on. Not sure if the air conditioner was broken but that wasn't turned on. It took a while for us to be seated as it was quite busy and I could see it was just one person running the floor. Definitely short staffed on the floor and in the kitchen. It took a long time for everything including taking our order and the food to come out. That's the only reason why I have given 4 stars. The server did say they were two chefs down and it was only his mum cooking in the kitchen. Besides from the food coming out slowly the taste of all the dishes was very authentic. It did remind me of home and my mums cooking. The bbq platter was full of flavour and the beef On the skewers were very tender and flavourful. Can definitely smell all the herbs. The chicken wings were huge! Nice sweet bbq chargrilled flavour. The beef salad had a tangy lime zest, love the ceviche style. A very healthy dish if you want to cut out on the carbs. Kathiev Cha was full of flavour, a generous serving portion with lots of beef and shrimp.

Drinks are so unique and flavorful. We tried the Temple T and the Roselle, yes. The Thai Tea is a classic. Not sure what the energy version is. For appetizers we tried the Dumplings, Mussels, Moo ping. I'd hold on the dumplings even tho they might be recommended. The mussels are in a Thai curry sauce. And the moo ping was the softest but not chewiest I've ever had. Good portions. For the entree, we tried the Chicken Pad Thai and the Panang Curry with braised beef. The star of the show was def the Panang Curry. It's small for an entree portion. It comes with rice. So we had to order another. But the flavors are there. We saved room for dessert bc it was a Mango Sticky Rice. Everything was good. But it made us miss home.

The atmosphere is super classy and cute, with great date-night vibes. Parking can be a little limited with the English pub next door, but it's definitely worth a stop. We started with a few of their buns. The pork belly was my favorite, but the fried chicken and meatball were both very good! For dinner, we ordered the fried rice, XO noodles, and shaking beef. The beef was a little more well done than I prefer, but everything was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and overall, the food was delicious. Most dishes averaged around $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. And a special shoutout to Keith - his service was fantastic throughout the entire meal! Great atmosphere, flavorful food, generous portions, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

I usually have the Pork Tonkatsu ramen, Katsu sando, and Krazy Fries and everyday I'm away from Phoenix I CRAVE these so badly. Amazing and ambitious flavor combos that all fit so well together.

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
