    I remember red rose was the place to go for mi ga thung special. It def does not taste the same like the past. Everytime I go to Lowell I think about this place but I don't think it's a spot I would return to satisfy my cravings. It was very mid and service was decent. The flavor of the noodles isn't the same so that's a disappointment. I got beef on a stick and that was good. That's why I'm giving it a three star. I think simply Khmer is so much better for authentic Khmer food.

    I was excited to try out this place after I read that this restaurant was a James Beard semi-finalist. I'm just shocked that a restaurant outside of the Boston (and nearby towns) actually got some recognition. And I mean this in a nice way - I hate that everything is only in Boston! I was in town for a Showcase Cinemas showing, and it felt like a perfect opportunity to finally come here. This restaurant was easily accessible off of Exit 89B on in I-495, and then Exit 5B shortly after. Parking feels a little limited with only about 13 spots shared between the several businesses here. I manage to grab one just as someone was leaving. The restaurant interior felt like a typical hole-in-the-wall Chinese place (okay, I know it's Cambodian). Nothing to write home about. There was plenty of seating available I arrived, and I was sat at a double-booth table. The menu is large and fairly overwhelming, but there are enough pictures for you to point at something that looks good. I was already prepared before arriving here and I knew I had to try the Beef Loc Lac. These seem like steak tips. Small chunks of beef, with a sweet glaze. Delicious. It came with the ubiquitous bowl of rice, and a dipping sauce I was not a fan of. It was very sour which felt like an odd pairing, but that might just be my unfamiliarity with the cuisine's flavor profiles. I mistakenly ordered the fried chicken wings thinking I would be hungry to eat two different dishes. When they arrived, I was already full from the Beef Loc Lac. Oh boy, these wings were deeply crunchy! I didn't detect any notable seasoning, but they were very good plain wings. Overall, I enjoyed my food and hope to come back here again to try out more stuff.

    Great local,authentic, Cambodian food as always! Beef loc lac always hits the spot. The noodles (kathew) are a great option as well.

    Chicken wings

    BOMB. No frills, but they have everything you need. They are allergen-friendly and can modify their soups to not include certain meets/to be vegetarian. The server was patient while I asked my questions and has a good memory because she even brought my friend over a free coke (he's a regular and he normally orders this). The order of chicken wings come with a salt, pepper and lime sauce that goes together perfectly with the chicken. BEST chicken wings I've ever had, hands down and no arguments; they come out piping hot, super crispy and juicy.

    Spicy Quail and Lemongrass
    Gary G.

    Hole in the wall Cambodian joint at Palin plaza with a surprisingly large space inside. Very casual, menu can be daunting but they have a picture book for those not familiar; it lets you see what looks good and order that way. There are no prices in the picture book but prices in the menu you can ask for. Service isn't attentive but is not rude either; it just takes a little patience, so relax and enjoy. The food is outstanding. Hot Wings. Gargantuan wings with sturdily crunchy bumpy exteriors, extremely juicy interiors, and a sauce that blends sweet and heat better than any similar Southeast Asian style wing. Superb. Deep Fried Pork Bung with Pickled Mustard Greens: An assortment of flavors and textures, and the fact that its intestines might scare you, but it's delicious. Best shared with two or more just in case. Very appealing sauce hinting at sweet, but with savory underneath. Sourness of the greens cuts the richness of the protein. Spicy Quail and Lemongrass: A slightly-pricier and more-than-slightly-better version of the traditional Cambodian chicken with lemongrass. More crunch, more flavor. Onions and jalapeños complement nicely. Delicious and great with rice. Rice with Pork Chop: This is actually a misnomer, because it comes with TWO kinds of pork chops. On the plate are chopped fried pork chop chunks, some with bone, all crisp and shiny with a slightly sweet glaze (balanced by seasoning and marinade). In a bowl is another pork chop dunked in a fragrant, herby broth. This one is more subtle, with shred-apart delicate tenderness. Supporting both are a chili sauce for dipping and a small bowl of pickled vegetables. Beef Lort: Rice noodles, neither thin nor thick, with a little chewiness, with bean sprouts, protein, and a light sauce thrown in, like a lo mein. Beef Loc Lac: I think of these as Cambodian steak tips. They're marinated and grilled beef chunks with a light, slightly sweet glaze on top, a little smaller and sweeter here than elsewhere. Tasty. Green Papaya Salad: I ordered it spicy (you get a choice). Lots of heat, lots of herbs, nuts on top, and lots of delightful funk from fish sauce and fermented shrimp. Flanked by cabbage and fresh herbs. Papaya Salad should be a part of any Thai or Cambodian meal.

    There's parking only in the front so sometimes parking is a little tricky. Everything here was delicious! Loc lac and kathew kaw ko were our main dishes and they were cooked perfectly. The meat in my soup was so tender and flavorful without being too salty. Crab Rangoons and Thai tea were okay I would probably pass on those next time. Overall very good will be back

    Sara Jieyi T.

    A friend of mine who lived in Lowell recommended this place. It was my first time having Cambodian food and what I can say, it was fabulous! Hands down 10/10. The beef Loc Lak was great and I enjoyed the special noodle soup and eating it with the fried dough stick. My family also got sweet and sour soup and fried tilapia with tamarind sauce which were delicious as well. Would highly recommend all these dishes! The employee was friendly and happy to answer questions and provide recommendation. I would have to say the prices are a little more expensive than I thought but would still come back again! Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10 Experience: 9/10 Value: 7/10

    Yikes...roach leg in my mekathung!
    Candee N.

    If you find a roach IN your food, do not walk, run away from the restaurant! Not only are there likely hundreds of cockroaches in that kitchen, but the kitchen staff and management is ambivalent about the problem. Go to another restaurant where they pay attention to the food being served.

    Rice porridge with pork belly and pork blood!! Pretty good Beef pad Thai - very flavorful  Beef teriyaki sticks with lemongrass

    Food was okay, service was quick and friendly and the dining area and seats spacious.

    Pricing and portion sizes at this little eatery are good. The chicken broth soup was sweet and not really to my liking.

    Could someone please tell me about the MSG levels here? I love Asian food but need to be quite careful. Pho for example is often loaded with it. Thank you very much.

    The servers (and chef!) here go above and beyond, and the food here is delicious and plentiful; the…read more"free sample" of kimchi my dad somehow ended up with after talking to the chef about vegan food or something was not only the only kimchi that my had ever liked, it was also vegan, due to the lack of anchovies. It was also, apparently, less salty, presumably for the same reason. The amount of kimchi in the "sample" was so plentiful as to almost fill up the mini cup we used for takeout. They have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan food, as well as some gluten free items, though they lack the staff and kitchen size to accommodate celiacs, so it's really more of use for people on elimination diets or with poor digestive capabilities. The owner had prior training in Italian cuisine, which is the reason such food is on the menu, and while neither my father nor I had occasion to try it, it is apparently a passion of the chef's, and the shared discussion of their mutual interest in Italian cooking may be the reason my father was given a free "sample" of kimchi, which was larger than the paid order of kimchi at most other restaurants. The food portions, in general, are massive, with the leftovers of an order of wonton soup not fitting in a to-go canister, with other orders being similarly large. Their jasmine tea is unusual for its slight fruity flavor, and ability to "overbrew" without becoming bitter, instead maintaining its delicate flavor. Each table has condiments, which in addition to including the "normal" chili crisp, and fish sauce often found at Asian restaurants that provide table condiments, have the more western pepper grinder, as well as garlic salt. Curiously, there is no "normal" salt as often found at western restaurants, though bottles of sriracha are found at every table. Perhaps the garlic salt and sriracha are the restaurant's "unique twist"?

    Still in my rotation, and I still mostly stick with the sizzling hot items, alternating among…read morechicken, shrimp, and fish. Still excellent, still sweet (though now more noticeably spicy too), and still important to remind that the dishes here are not necessarily attempting authentic cuisine of specific regions (even though specific dishes are named), but more of a freestyle approach. The wings have improved in recent visits. More plump, more crisp, more juice, more flavor. Still good value. Still a little weak on the service (more about being young, unfocused and lacking initiative than anything approaching rudeness). Still highly recommended.

Pork intestine with pickled cabbage here: I think it's prepared really well, and if I have any objections, it might just be my own flavor palette. It's deep-fried first, and also braised, so it's crunchy and sweet, which isn't like any other preparation of pork intestine I've had (most of which have been Chinese). That said, even if it was a bit sweet for me, the pickled greens balanced it out a bit, and the crunch was pretty nice. Came with a pleasant tasting broth too.

The restaurant is very spacious and the staff is very friendly. We were quickly seated on Sunday night and we were overwhelmed with the entree options because the picture menu was huge!

I really liked the papaya salad because we ordered it spicy and it came packed with a spicy flavor. The papaya tasted fresh and we enjoyed eating with the big green leaves. The spicy chicken was also very good and it tasted great over white rice. We had a great meal and had leftovers to take home.
