    ​We visited here a couple of years ago and quite enjoyed our meal, so we decided to give it another visit on our drive home from San Diego. ​We ordered: 1. ​PHNOM PENH HOUSE SPECIAL (sliced pork, ground pork, stomach, liver & shrimp) 20. ​PORK RICE PORRIDGE HOUSE SPECIAL (three-layer pork, stomach, spleen, liver & blood) ​Side of Cha quai (breadsticks) ​For the noodles, you have the option to order them with small or big rice noodles, small or big egg noodles, or a mix of both. The egg noodle options has an extra $1 charge. You also have an option to order it dry or in the broth. We ordered the small rice noodles dry. The dry option comes with the broth on the side, along with a giant beef rib bone. The highlight for me here is the broth, as it is super tasty, and the beef rib was super tender. I prefer the dry noodles since you can add additional seasoning to them; my favorite is the chili oil, which was quite spicy. ​The rice porridge is different from the ones you get at dim sum. It is lighter, with the rice grains still pretty intact. Like with the noodle dish, I really liked the broth and it goes well with the house-made breadsticks. The pork liver was a bit too overcooked for my taste, though. ​Overall, the dishes are pretty solid. Will come back again.

    Ordered the student noodles with beef, it was pretty decent, and the service was amazing, very attentive and nice. Loved the decor inside as well.

    #1. Phnom Penh Noodles (House Special) thin rice noodles and egg noodles. #10. Beef Stew. BOMB

    This has been on my bookmark for so long! Pretty sure this place replaced the OG Guppies We were in the area and I was really craving some Asian noodles and this was the perfect spot We got 2 dishes and an appetizer and we were stufffed! I was not expecting those portions. Very worth it for the price. I got their #1 Phnom Penh Noodles in a large so I can have half and half noodles! I got their thin rice noodles with the thin egg noodles with the soup on the side. It just hitsssss. The large is hugeee and super flavorful. I had to actually Togo this home cause it was so big We also got their Beef stew also in a large and got half large and thin egg noods. Super flavorful and the large is large. We also had to Togo this home too! The appetizer we got was their chicken wings and it was so crispy!! Loved their sauce and pickled veggies it comes with. Ate that whole thing up! Overall very delicious and happy with their portions. Highly recommend if you're in the area and not wanting India food

    Food/Drinks: The Shack Wings were well cooked and seasoned (not dry or overly salty/garlicky, which can easily be the case). The pickled vegetables were a nice accompaniment, to refresh the palate between wings. The Seafood Noodles had a nice flavor to the broth; however, I ordered it with egg noodles, which I would have preferred to be a bit more al dente. Lastly, the Cambo Khrack Iced Coffee was pretty decent--the coffee taste definitely came through and wasn't diluted. Service: No complaints! Immediately attended to, upon walking through the doors. A few waiters constantly checked in on us, and one had an infectious energy. Also, appreciate the accommodation for our vegetarian friend, who had Tofu Fried Rice. Ambiance: Casual, industrial. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

    This Cambodian restaurant specializes in a variety of delicious noodle dishes. We ordered the Beef Stick Rice and the Loat Cha (stir-fried rice drop noodles with beef, bean sprouts, and eggs). The loat cha had great flavor, and the beef was tender. We also tried the Awesome Peach Tea, which was packed with real peach flavor. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a spacious outdoor seating area. the customer service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot if you're craving authentic Cambodian comfort food!

    Chas S.

    The spiffier sibling to one of those OG Long Beach Cambodian restaurants. Nice to have this spot in Cerritos. Service is super friendly and the food comes out quickly even when the restaurant is full. We probably wouldn't order the BBQ beef sticks again but wow the lort cha was so tasty as was the mixed rice dish which was as delicious as it was pretty. We enjoyed our meal. It is a family spot and pretty humble inside. I do wish that our table wasn't sticky. The doors and windows could also use a good scrub down sometime too tbh.

    Phnom Penh noodles with soup on the side
    Rebecca T.

    I'd never had Cambodian food before, so I was keen on giving it a go while in the area. Ordered a decent spread of food to share, includong Phnom Penh noodles (dry, soup on the side), Student Noodles, egg rolls, and Camboignets (cha kwai, but sweet). Also got a Cambodian fried rice to go. The Phnom Penh noodles and Student Noodles were tasty, huge portions and full of garlic flavor. The broth came on the side with huge hunks of meat, and was very rich and comforting. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, but just your standard egg roll. The Camboignets were a delight, nice and doughy, and similar to a French beignet. Had the Cambodian fried rice the day after, and it was decent, if a bit bland. It took a long time (30+ min) to be seated, but service was really nice once we sat down and the food came really quickly. I would definitely come early in the day and/or put yourself on the waitlist in advance, but overall, a solid introduction to Cambodian cuisine!

    #3. Beef & Meatballs Noodles
    Lulu T.

    This place used to be Guppy Tea House. Now, it is called Rice String Noodle Shack. There's a reason this place has done well, their food is tasty all the way through. Try their Crispy Egg rolls? You won't be disappointed one bit. Or, their #17 RP Bowl Beef Soup? It is like a tastier version of Pho without all the vegetables that can get in the way of what you enjoy the most, the proteins. Additionally, they also have Beef and Meatball Soup #3 which is filling at a regular bowl size. The City of Cerritos since the 80's has gotten lazy regarding work hours. Normal business hours usually were 7/8am until 7/8pm for restaurants and some past those hours. Nowadays, you wander Cerritos and think "how do these people work when they open so late into the morning (often 11am) and close so early by 5 or 9pm?" Thankfully, Rice String Noodle House figured out how to take advantage of business hours and feed people before they go to work, in the morning, because they open at 8am. Finally a restaurant that opens early in Cerritos, Ca! Come by with your family, meet up for good soup and food with your friends. Located on South Street and Pioneer.

    Cambodian Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage Bai-Mon Bowl
    Jonnie N.

    Back at RiceString Noodle Shack and this time I switched it up for the rice dishes--and wow. The Cambodian Fried Rice came out glossy but not greasy, perfectly seasoned with that smoky wok hei aroma that hits right away. The Chinese sausage added just the right touch of sweetness and richness, giving each bite extra depth without overpowering the dish. It's comforting, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. I also tried the Bai-Mon bowl. I initially thought it would be more salad-forward, but it's actually a hearty bowl layered with proteins and fresh greens over rice cooked in chicken broth. That broth-infused rice makes all the difference--fragrant, savory, and balanced. It's a full, well-rounded meal that leaves you happy but not heavy. The only small downside? I arrived a bit late for lunch, so the in-house soup was out of pork bones. Still tasty, just missing that extra depth. Even so, it's an easy 5 stars. The food stays consistent, comforting, and crave-worthy--and the service remains just as attentive and sweet as ever. Definitely one of those spots that keeps you coming back for more.

    First time visitors Located in shopping plaza - plenty of parking spots Indoor and outdoor dining, bar dining as well Clean with industrial elements, seat yourself mostly establishment until it gets busier? Staff all helpful, help take order food run clean Happy hour for select appetizers before 6pm but unsure of the start time Cambodian style food, along with drinks, noodles, entrees, a doubled sided menu with good variety! Definetly food on the sweeter side but provides plenty of condiments to add spice sodium etc Sharing yes for sure and leftovers absolutely Tried out the student noodles and RP bowl. Wasn't sure how to eat everything but I think that what made it fun trying the food as is, dipping, mixing, or eating things in a certain order. Fresh made to order, flavors did not overpower, broth tasted comforting and soothing, the giant neck bone meat was tender and the cartilage was soft and fatty in a good way, always nice to enjoy the extra marrow flavor For meats primarily saw beef chicken pork shrimp but look like online tofu was an option and combination of the meat also an option that would also determine a price difference Would certainly comeback to try more. Certainly family friendly, date night, solo dining, and group of pals hangout establishment. Lively quiet and comfortable setting.

    ##2. Mo's Special Noodles, dry
    Tiffany C.

    This is basically Phnom Penh Noodle Shack's larger and modern location in Cerritos. I had been to the original spot in Long Beach which always has a long wait, but I'll be frequenting this spot more. Menu has all the classic Cambodian noodle dishes along with some more modern eats like their shack wings and egg rolls. They have a large variety of noodle and rice dishes to choose from, I love how you can customize dry or soup along with noodle type. My go to is the #2. Mo's Special with soup on the side. Their homemade broth along with the tender pork bone hits the spot especially on a rainy day. I'll be back here again!

    Ask the Community - RiceString Noodle Shack

    Will you guys be open on New Year's day?

    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

    There is some outside seating and it's covered. I think there's heat lamps. But why need heat lamps if you can can a nice hot soup served. Hope this helps and check out my review on YELP!

    Do you guys have catered orders for beef stick?

    They do, it's $3.50/stick minimum order 25 sticks. Also place the order a few days prior to the event so they have enough time to prepare for it :)

    Are you open for dine in now?

    We will be Open tomorrow (Monday) for Dine-In.

    What are the gluten free dishes that can be ordered?

    Under Noodle Soups, you can order any bowl. Choose small rice noodles and make it dry w/pork bone soup for a more fulfilling portion. Also, our Ba-Bong and Mekala comes w/standard rice noodles, veggies, and protein. For our Stir-Fry Noodles, our… 

    Are there vegetarian/vegan options? I don't see it listed on menu.

    Sorry our online menu needs updating. But Yes, we have Vegan Option available. Please ask our servers.

    Do they use a lot of MSG?

    I'm going to say no because I am super sensitive to MSG and never had a problem

    Um...what happened to the tea house that used to be here with the fish tanks and amazing shaved ice?

    Guppy Tea House had its successful run. But unfortunately they closed down. We don’t know the details, but we believe it’s due to lack of capital.

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor patio?

    Yes, I just asked.

I got the beef belly noodle soup and it was very good. I really like the broth and the noodles were yum. The meat was very tender as well. I would definitely get this again! When we finished our meal it did take quite a bit to get a hold of the check, but it's okay. That you do have to flag down the server for, so it could take a sec.

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.
