    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
    Fay F.

    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.

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 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.

Approachable menu with as much fusion as authentic Korean. -- Chicken Wings: Jumbo wings with extra crispness and an inner texture varying between sufficiently moist and gushingly juicy, depending on the piece. Always liked them, and I tried twice more recently with similar positive results. Excellent flavor in both the Soy Garlic and the Sweet and Spicy Gochujang. Superb, and with no price hikes in at least five years, now an excellent value too. -- Kimchi Pancake: Crispy on the edges and fluffier inside, with kimchi adding some crunch and nice flavor to go with the starch. Thin dark sauce to complement it. I think of it as a Korean cross between scallion pancake and egg foo yong. Good for sharing. -- Seafood Jampong: A large bowl of seafood stew with a red broth that has some creaminess as well as spice. Nice texture and chock full of large mussels, scallops, shrimp (gigantic Gulf shrimp as well as baby shrimp), Asian squid, and noodles. The squid was a little chewy, but everything else was cooked beautifully. This dish satisfied both in the restaurant and as leftovers the next day.

The first place we went to was closed, despite Yelped showing they were open. Apparently a lot of places in the area are closed on a Monday. Phnom Penh is truly authentic. You walk in and are surprised by how spacious the dining area is. You look to the counter area and it's truly mom and pop style. You hear really loud customers speaking to the staff and immediately feel that they are regulars who have built close relationships through many years of patronage here. This place feels very homey. There is plenty of street parking, but I did see a sign that indicated a parking lot is available in the back. The young man that seated and served us was friendly and helpful. More importantly, he was patient and answered questions for us, who are new to Cambodian cuisine. I ordered the fried rice with beef loc lac. It seemed very popular as many pictures on yelp were of this dish. The beef looked overly fried but was surprisingly juicy and tender with lots of flavor. The fried rice reminds me of the Panda Express fried rice, and there is nothing wrong with that. I accepted the offer to add a fried egg but that actually came out over cooked, IMHO. I give this dish a 8/10. The beef noodle soup was something my wife ordered. It looks spicy but is not spicy at all. Yet, it still had really good flavor. The pictures showed some beef balls, but we noticed mostly sliced beef pieces. It was good and I'd give it a 8/10 as well. I got 2 appetizers. There were so many things that looked good but there were just 2 of us dining and we already were ordering more than we could eat. The fried spring rolls were okay. I think more meat filling would really balance out the interior texture. The outside was perfectly crisp and this dish goes so well with the included fish sauce. I'd give this a 7/10. The hot wings looked so good in the picture. It is heavily and unevenly breaded and fried, then mixed in a sweet and spicy sauce. It's sticky and crunchy...and very fried. I was actually hoping for more with this dish so I'd give it a 6/10. I might try the unsauced version if I come back, as that looked so good (another table got it). Overall, it was a good experience. We were served hot tea and provided great service for delicious food at a reasonable price. I'm glad places like this are still out there. They are not flashy or anything. They are there to serve good food to the community. I hope I come across this place again (it's not near where we live). I'll just have to drive past Lowell again soon!
