Was in town in SF for the weekend for a family friend's funeral . Knew it will be a hectic day for us.I Communicated with Sitha a few weeks before my arrival . I really don't have any special requests, just left it to sitha to create a menu for me and my family based on what's in season and for her to surprise me. Sitha delivered some food to our Airbnb in time for dinner . The menu: - kaw Trey saht chrouk beh Choun (braised fish and pork belly) -stuffed chicken wings kreung ( lemongrass paste ) -stir fry clams -haal Leah (Cambodian sun dried clams ) -raw bloody clams with prohoak ( fermented fish dip) -steamed rice I never had raw bloody clams before, it was a nice touch with the Cambodian prohoak sauce . The braised fish and pork belly was delicious , sweet/ salty and savory . With the crunchy cucumbers was the family favorite dish. Of course the stuffed wings continues to be our family must order when we have a chance . read more

Ordered garlic noodles + 2 beef skewers today at Prescott market event. $27.45 Presentation- pretty. Initially what made me order Garlic noodles lacks any garlic flavor. Noodles were greasy. Beef skewers are fatty Disappointed The orange sauce added flavor to the bland garlic noodles and beef skewers. Venmo Zelle accepted at the event. No credit cards read more

We caught Sitha at the Prescott market in west Oakland. I ordered the garlic noodles with crab and it was so delicious!!!! Everything on the menu looked delicious! I loved the flavor of the crab it tasted fresh and not too salty. The garlic noodles were perfectly cooked not too much garlic to the point your breath stinks. The orange sauce was sweet and yummy. I also love how it was given with salad and a flower. The young girl who took our order was very kind. Cash App and Venmo only. I can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Checked out Sitha's at their East Brother Beer Company pop up and got the twako (sausage) and noodles with skewers. They were very friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Note: They only take cash or venmo for payment. Bomb flavors (especially their orange sauce). A tad bit pricey considering it's a popup and not a dine-in restaurant, but would recommend you check out Sitha's if you want to support a local business that has flavorful, delicious food! read more

Just had beef and chicken skewers from the pop up outside East Brothers Brewery. So good. Meat was tender and well seasoned with good flavor. Had a wonderful side salad and some grilled veg. Also had a great sauce on the side that worked both on salad and meat. Also, the people working the tent were so nice and walked me through the three types of bottled sauce they have for sell to take home. I would eat there again and perfect while having an East Bros beer. read more

Had the beef skewers. They are fantastic. Would definitely order them again. Wonderful taste and presentation.

Loved that there's authentic Cambodian food in the peninsula area now! The kitchen is located inside another restaurant and opened from Fri-Sun. I liked to do large take-out orders to feast with family so I was able to try many dishes. Lots of them packed with flavors but notable mentions: +Angel wings dipped in their special sauce +beef sticks + Cambodian sausages/Twa Ko Can't wait to visit again. read more

We tried the garlic noodles with 2 skewers today at West Oakland Farmers Market and all of it was a serious flavor bomb! Not cheap but the portion was large enough to make it worth it. At least 2 meals worth if not maybe even 2.5-3! Loved the crisp green beans and fresh side salad included in the dish. The meat was tender and tasty! If you're looking for a flavor party in your mouth then look for Khmer Kitchen. read more

A pop up located inside Pho de Nguyen on the weekends, this spot is a gem! They serve Khmer/Cajun food and I love their unique offerings. The chef is so nice and we got to meet her during our meal. Sadly their pop up is closing after next week, but hopefully soon they'll have their own permanent spot! The food was delicious. Raw Shrimp Salad - amazing, I need more of this asap. It's a Khmer style ceviche and if you're into ceviche, this is for you. Beef Jerky - so tasty, savory and chewy. It's a big portion. Cambodian Noodle - so comforting! It's a fish based broth with lemongrass and vermicelli noodles. Stuffed Chicken Wings - the chicken was juicy and was stuffed with noodles, definitely give it a try. read more

An amazing spot that pops up Friday night and the weekend! Come try their authentic Khmer Cambodian food. It was my first time having straw shrimp and it was . My favorite item was definitely their beef skewer twice was marinated and perfectly tender. Overall the flavors were very different and amazing. I haven't eaten much Cambodian food but this definitely has its own flavor category. It's also nice to see familiar food like their Seafood cajun style. The owners use to be from Texas and worked there some time before coming back to the bay. Definitely a must try. Asian owned small business. Come taste the culture and see what khmer food is all about! Still so many items I have yet to try. Def will be back to try them all! They also have their own beef Jerky brand that comes in multitude flavors. read more

We noticed this pop up Khmer/Cambodian place as we were parked right in front of Pho De Nguyen last week. I sure was excited because the photo display looked really good. The sausages, the jerky, the stuffed wings all looked amazing and promising. Unfortunately for us, we were a few weeks in on our meatless journey so we couldn't eat any of those even if we wanted to. FOOD: Disclaimer: I am in no way well versed in Khmer cuisine nor claiming to be. We ordered the Crawfish Etouffe and Cambodian Noodle. I thought the sauce in the etouffe was flavorful with a generous serving of crawfish. If you like some spice in your etouffe, this has zero kick, fyi. It would've paired well with steamed rice which we opted out due to a restrictive diet. The Cambodian Noodle was just okay. I thought the fish based soup was tasty on my first slurp, then I got confused really quick if they gave me the right order. The menu said it's served with sliced beans and bean sprouts and yet the bowl had none. It was all shredded cabbage, a handful of dill, green onions and a flower. The dill was very fragrant that at some point it's all I could taste. The kroeung (aromatic spice paste, usually with fingerroot, galangal, lemongrass etc.) also was too much. A couple of tablespoons was probably in there making the soup thick and more like a sauce. 2 stars just for the noodles and 3 for the etouffe. However, it's not their fault we had diet restrictions and we couldn't order more. I have to be fair. I cannot rate a local startup (family?) hardworking business on 2 dishes alone when they have so much to offer. But I want to get the word out there about this place thus the 4 star. This place has so much potential. Just check out their IG page and Yelp photos from the business owner and you'll see how appetizing their food is. SERVICE: I know they've been doing pop ups for months but I felt like it was their first night of service ever. I couldn't help it seeing them literally running in the small space all night, getting and giving incorrect orders and people cancelling the last of their orders because of the long wait. There's a couple impatient guys casually getting the drinks themselves from the fridge. A lot of action and a bit of chaos went on that night tbh. We were served a gumbo. Clearly confused, we asked why our order of crawfish etouffe w/o rice had shrimps, sausages and rice. Good thing we did not touch it because it turned out to be for the table next to us. One of the people from that table started handing tip$ shortly after ordering. It was as if they were trying to bribe the staff to get their food faster when literally everyone in the room has ordered prior to them. I don't see the point in flagging the obviously busy servers in the middle of service and contribute in disrupting the flow. They were not helping and making service worse for all of us. Who else does this? I am hopeful the staff would figure out and work on improving service sooner than later. Cambodian food is something I wanna explore more given we do not have a lot of it in the Peninsula. I am coming back for those sausages when I get back being a carnivore. When I do, I'll be updating this review. read more

On the menu, it's very clearly stated that the papaya salad came with the salted crabs for $17. When we got our bill, they charged us $25. The waitress with short and golden hair said we asked for the crabs. We were confused. We asked the waitress to bring us the menu and I showed her that on the menu the salted crabs were included in the papaya salad for $17. Then, she said, "That was a different type of crab, those were small crabs." Well! I questioned her back "Where does it say the crabs price and also why did you charge $25?" It says nothing on the menu. Then, she said "So do you want me to take this off?" I said "Yes, I only pay what the menu listed." Finally, she changed it back to $17 for the papaya salad with salted crabs. :) - The Cambodian Noodle was tasty but the soup was too watery and there is too little fish meat and veggies. It should be served with fish gravy and fresh vegetables. It is not authentic. - The Stuffed Chicken Wings was kinda burnt and dry. I think they made it advance and reheated when we ordered. - Kaw's flavors was good but the meat was tough and the pig feet had no firm texture. - The Papaya Salad was the best dish, very flavorful and nice texture. **Trying this restaurant once is enough :) read more

5-stars for the spicy that put me out When I say put me out, I only had three scoops and threw the whole thing away bc I didn't want my family to eat it by accident. My body was SOAKED and I continued to drip for 15 mins. I would say to not order it extra spicy for the sake of enjoying the papaya salad. The crab was okay, I feel it should be cracked if they put it in there. The dancing shrimp was good. Maybe with a beer? Pretty salty, but fresh. The stuffed chicken is what I ate the most. Not too salty, but slightly sweet. Came with a spicy mayo-ish kind of sauce. I ruined my own experience by ordering too spicy where I actually couldn't handle it for once. I will give them another try. Has to be on the weekend since they're only open on Friday to Sunday? Pretty pricey too, FYI. Borderline recommend. Borderline bc of the price. Happy eating to all! read more

This is a pop up that takes place at Pho de Nguyen restaurants on Fridays, Saturday's and Sunday's. Got the pleasure of trying a bunch of dishes : Stuffed chicken - juicy chicken stuffed with delicious items. Probably my favorite dish here. Beef stick - tender beef on a stick served with a sweet sauce on the side. Garlic noodles - just as described , comes in a huge bowl and is great for sharing. Clams - clams were very small, the sauce was flavorful with it. Sausage - a little on the sour side Chicken sticks - also tender but the beef was better Overall, meal was very enjoyable. Cambodian cuisine is pretty hard to come by, so definitely give this place a try. Service is friendly and accommodating as well. read more

I first tried Sitha's back in April so this review is a little late. I'm also bummed Yelp lowered the quality of my photo. I promise the colors are much brighter and the food looks amazing! Sitha's is located inside Pho de Nguyen and is a Khmer, Cambodian, and Cajun weekend pop-up. Sitha runs the operation with her family and they are hard workers. You'll see the pride they have in serving their customers when you visit. What's really neat is that they get their crawfish fresh and live all the way from Louisiana. That means you get the good jumbo crawfish! If you're a crawfish lover, this is the spot for you. This will always be a must get for me when I visit. My second favorite dish was their skewers! The presentation of their food is just on point and I feel like love is put into every dish they prepare. read more

I thought we were eating Vietnamese food after we entered. I guess I was wrong. The establishment is split between three cuisines: Vietnamese, Cambodian/ Cajun food. Mom- Fri they serve Vietnamese and weekend is Cambodian/ Creole. Interesting business concept. Orders to go with the Cajun menu. Not bad but wasn't expecting shrimp to be grilled. Not typical dressings for this type of sandwich. Fries were good. The salmon fillet was a good 4 oz piece. Nice ambiance and right next door is the new sugarcane shop. read more

Cambodian Flavors Hidden within weekday only Pho de Nguyen in San Bruno, Sitha's Khmer Kitchen is serving Cambodian classics the likes of which the Bay Area hasn't seen The menu features a diverse selection of appetizers and entrees with highlights including the raw shrimp and raw crab papaya salads as well as minced pork stewed fermented fish that one customer highly recommended The flavors are bold and strong with a savoriness balanced with hints of sour and sweet. Fish sauce is a prominent ingredient and herbs like mint and dill abound Overall flavors are perhaps closest to Thai but not the strip mall Thai most of us are familiar but more the bold flavors I sampled at Nari in SF I think the twa ko may be an acquired taste and the Kwa is a touch sweet but the pork belly is delicious Sitha's is a flavorful find in the Bay Area and they plan to be a pop-up on weekends (Sat/Sun) at Pho de Nguyen until next year Highly recommend a visit to try truly novel cuisine, sample unadulterated flavors, and give your taste buds a wake up call Bok Lahong Papaya Salad with Crab $24 ~ Noodle Papaya Salad, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Shrimp Paste, Garlic, Lime Juice, Salted Crabs, Fermented Fish mixed with Sitha's Khmerkitchen special sauce / Dancing (Raw) Shrimp Salad $17 ~ thin sliced shrimps w/ lime juice & spicy sauce, served with mint / Twa Ko (Cambodian Sausage) $17 ~ beef/rice/galanga/Asian seasonings served with pickled veggies / Slaap Moarn Borg Stuffed Chicken Wings $20 ~ Boneless chicken wings, stuffed with ground chicken, lemongrass spices, glass noodles served with pickled vegetables / Prahok Ktiss $24 ~ simmered minced pork in coconut milk, fermented fish, Kreung served with veggies / Kaw $18 ~ caramelized pork belly/pork knuckle w/ rice.

We've just had our first taste of Cambodian food, & we really enjoyed it !! We ordered the papaya salad without crab (with medium heat), Dancing Shrimp Salad, the Cambodian Sausages, Stuffed Chicken Wings, & the Cambodian noodle soup. The chicken wings were deboned & generously stuffed with ground chicken, bits of glass noodles, & a mix of spices. So plump, so fragrant with spices, this is a must order! The Cambodian sausage is another highlight. Roughly ground beef spiced with galangal, it had a lovely snappy casing, & textured meat that was very pleasant to chew. We love spicy food & so ordered the sausages spicy - oh boy did they deliver the heat! We made it through, all smiles, though with a little sweaty brow, & do not recommend this level of heat for novices. This is not a dare! The description of "exotic fish-based soup" in the Cambodian noodles intrigued us, & so we had to order that. It turned out to be pretty yummy. Only very mildly funky soup with flaked fish, thin rice noodles, & a heap of very refreshing herbs & veggies. We're gonna need to come back for Sitha's signature dish of "beef jerky", & also the pork knuckle dish. read more

It is indeed a pop up. We had to double check the location. You're at the right spot if you see Pho De Nguyen on a green awning. It's only opened on the weekends. The service is great and we were asked how we heard about it. This is one of the few Cambodian restaurants in the bay and I wanted to try it. We ordered the beef jerky, Cajun shrimp gumbo and angel wings. The beef jerky was a tad tough but I enjoyed the sweetness. The angel wings was a hit at our table. The springy noodles and crispiness of the chicken skin complemented each other. read more

Sitha’s Khmerkitchen - Beef jerky and Cajun shrimp gumbo - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me - Richmond City , California

This restaurant is located INSIDE Pho De Nguyen. This is a pop-up, meaning they only open certain hours. We ordered: 1) Twa Ko (Sausage). 3 stars. I had never tried a Cambodian/Khmer food before. But, I'm very familiar with Vietnamese, Thai and Cajun taste. The taste for this sausages was confusing. I could taste the galangal and lemongrass but there were many other spices that made it "confusing". I cannot say I like it! 2) Papaya Salad. 5stars. I never had papaya salad with noodle and ....$18 in the past. But, this dish is a must if you dine here. It's spicy, salty, and tangy. There bits of RAW crabs in it. We ordered the one without crabs, but, we found bits of them mixed in. I'm not sure if it's intentional or accidental. 3) Nom ban chan. 1 star. Do not order. We were very excited with this dish. Usually, Curry like soups from that part of country are very flavorful with the taste of lemongrass, basil, garlic, mint and fish sauce. Sad to say that this dish was non committed to say the least. Like the sausage, the soups was "confusing". It's almost taste like Thai's Tom kha, but not quite. Almost like Vietnamese's Sour Cat Fish Soup, but quite either. It was a bland bowl of soup! 3)Crawfish Étouffée. 2 Stars. Yet, another confusing dish. The 2 stars were for the freshness of the ingredients. It was served with overcooked jasmine rice (fusion?) I love Cajun Étouffée. The taste of nutty Roux, blend of the Cajun's Holy Grail, The seafood broth and al dente rice. Sitha's crawfish Étouffée was missing all of the above. I'm wondering if the chef was intentionally depriving us to make it "Cambodian"? (Not being sarcastic here). Dont get me wrong, it's tasty! But, it should not be called Étouffée! 5)Stuffed Chicken Wing. 5stars. This one was overload of yumminess! Very crispy outside and tasty filling. Must order! We also ordered Rose tea. The options were Rose or Jasmine Tea. I'm a sucker for anything new. So, I chose Rose. Nope! Wrong choice. They put petals of dried up rose flowers. The end result was hot water infused with somewhat rose flower taste. I took another star away because the restaurant doesn't allow 2 credit cards split. The service fee for 1 $100 charge and 2-$50 is the same. Not sure why this place do not allow bill split. Anyway, the concept of this restaurant is exciting. Cambodian and the Bayou, two very distinct culinary palates with French influence. Combining these two is unimaginable, weird but a brave effort. Tasty culinary weirdness is in. It's called fusion. Unfortunately, Sitha is hovering just over weird line at the moment (in my personal opinion). I wish it luck! read more

BEST Cambodian food in the Bay Area!! Stopped by because I saw a tik tok and decided to drive 40 minutes to come eat here. The service was amazing and the food was even better. Everything was so flavorful and presented so beautifully. First off the LIVE crawfish was HUGE and I love the dipping sauces that came with it - SO DELICIOUS. I would also get the papaya salad especially with the blue crabs. I love raw blue crabs and the owner told me the marinates them! The raw shrimp with the chili's, dill and mint paired so well together. Lastly, the garlic noodles had so much flavor and loved the garlic pieces in it. They also make fresh Cambodian sausage and beef jerky. I am definitely going to be a retuning customer - I can't wait for them to open a restaurant in the future!! read more

Comfort Cambodian & Cajun food all packed into one family owned restaurant! It's really one of a kind and the best I've had in the Bay Area! Sitha is super nice and comes out to check on our table every time we come. Their daughter is the server and is knowledgeable and very attentive. This place is always packed when we come, so you know they are doing something right!! I've tried almost everything on the menu and I must say it does not disappoint! Here's a list of some of my favorite dishes 10/10: *mouth is watering as I write this* 1. Boiled crawfish - live, fresh and straight from the south!! (Seafood sauce is to die for) 2. Stuffed Jumbo Wings with sweet & spicy sauce 3. Cajun grilled fish with shrimp and veggies 4. Beef Salaw machu Kreung 5. Pork Kaw with eggs 6. Crawfish Etouffe and Gumbo with rice 7. Nohm Banh Chok 8. *Special* Leah (Clams) with Tamarind sauce 9. Twa Ko Sausage (you can choose sweet or sour) 10. Spicy Beef Jerky 11. Poboy sandwhiches And so much more! They even do catering and host events! Couldn't be happier that this pop up opened on this side of the Bay Area! Love the safe neighborhood it's located in! Although it can get busy around the area at times I always seem to find good parking. If you're in the area and haven't tried this spot I suggest you do. If you have an event coming up and need catering services or want to reserve their spot for a big party I suggest you do! Love you guys! Keep up the great work! read more

You should try this restaurant for Cambodian food - not popular in the Bay Area. However, I minus two stars because I can't adjust the quality and the price - expecting $18-22 per item (I don't see anything below $10). It's expensive in the area (San Bruno) - this price is for a high-end restaurant in Alto Palo :). You can expect $100 for 2. Here are a few things that you can try: - Stuffed chicken wings - Sausages I've tried the boiled shrimps and pork belly - it's okay but nothing special. On the menu, it mentions "affordable seafood" - not really! read more

Really enjoyed the food here! Beef sticks: 100/10 would go back just for this Papaya salad: 8/10 really good but wouldn't recommend if you don't like a strong fish flavor Stuffed chicken wings: 10/10 my fiancé's favorite dish that we tried Shrimp fried rice: 9/10 different than any fried rice I've ever tried, super yummy Cambodian noddle soup: *i forgot the actual name of this dish* my toddlers loved this soup, it has small pieces of fish mixed in but the soup doesn't taste overwhelmingly like fish 10/10 Not only is the food good but the service is amazing! I think this is a family run business and everyone working is extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. If you haven't tried Cambodian food I definitely recommend trying this spot! read more

We came to the pop-up at korner bar. We got the twa ko, papaya salad, and salaw macheu kreung. Very overpriced for such little food. The rice was also undercooked. -twa ko: okay, best dish out of the three. $20 for 4 small pieces though?? - salaw macheu: very small portion, came with the undercooked rice. - papaya salad: probably the worst papaya salad we have ever had. it was overly sour and lacked any flavor. my husband and i agreed we should have just went to the stockton temple instead for khmer new year. luckily, his mom went to stockton and brought us home some papaya salad and beef sticks for dinner which was 100 times better than what we had at Sitha's. read more

Sitha's Khmerkitchen is one of the only places in the Bay Area you'll find Cambodian and Cajun food on the same menu. The owner Sitha is passionate about her cooking and operates her pop-up restaurant on Fridays and weekends at Pho de Nguyen in San Bruno. There are likely dishes here you've never seen before, like the Dancing Shrimp Salad, made of sliced raw shrimp marinated in lime juice and red chilies, served with dill and mint; or the Nom Bahn Chok, a noodle soup made with rice noodles in a chunky yellow fish broth garnished with bean sprouts and dill. One of Sitha's signature dishes is the Beef Jerky, which is sold both in packaged form and as a hot grilled dish, marinated in a sticky, sweet, and savory dressing. The Papaya Salad was a spicy, salty mixture of shredded papaya, tomatoes, green beans, and garlic, along with shrimp paste, fermented fish, and salted crab, which added a funky, seafoody pungency. On the Cajun side of the menu, the Grilled Salmon and Shrimps were seasoned with cajun seasoning, caramelized and grilled, and served over veggies like zucchini, peppers, onions, and carrots, along with white rice on the side. But my favorite dish by far was the Stuffed Chicken Wings, made of three deboned wings stuffed with a mixture of ground chicken, glass noodles, lemongrass, and spices, and served with a sweet and sour garlic dipping sauce on the side. The chicken wings had a crispy, caramelized skin, and the stuffing had a delicious flavor and texture too! Overall, the flavors here were bold and on-point, and the spices and pungency weren't held back one bit. Many of the dishes here may be unfamiliar but were all the more worth trying, and Sitha's passion and hospitality really showed through her food. read more

This place is amazing. We enjoyed the unique Khmer cuisine. The papaya salad with crab, Beef sticks, Cambodian sausage and Seafood Gumbo, and beef tripe soup. Their staff were very friendly and they helped us in picking some good dishes. We even had a chat with the chef after our dinner. The Cambodian beer we tried were also very good. We also picked up some beef jerky to try out later. The downtown location is great. There are a lot of good restaurant nearby too. read more

Who doesn't love a dishonest business? I sure in hell don't. I ordered the Prahok Ktiss. The menu clearly states it would cost me $18. When the check came, they charged me $24 for my order. I brought this to their attention and informed them that I had a picture of their menu with a time stamp indicating I had taken the picture 1.5 hours prior. They acknowledge that the price on the menu was wrong and pretty much told me "too bad." So without warning, I was charged an additonal 50%. Paying $24 for it is not the issue...this is about principle. So if you want a surprise upcharge on your bill, come eat here. If not, I highly suggest going elsewhere. read more

**This is technically a review I wrote in December before they had a Yelp page, but it still applies to today** December 2021 - Randomly had the yearning for pho since it was a little chilly. So, we decided to go to a favorite of ours in San Bruno (Pho de Nguyen). Turns out, Pho de Nguyen hands over their keys to a new Cambodian/Khmer pop-up restaurant from Friday night through Sunday (although, the name should be familiar in the group); Sithas Khmerkitchen . Which is even better for me, because I've been yearning for Cambodian food on this side of the bridge since Angkor Borei in SF closed down during the pandemic. Post-confusion as to what we had just walked into, I was secretly super excited. Cambodian food for me is extreme comfort food. Food reminiscent of my grandmother's cooking, or going to a family house party or large group gathering, getting food at the park (in Stockton) or eating at the Wat (temple) during Cambodian New Year. Sitha's food checked all of those boxes and I'm very happy to know that whenever that urge for really good Cambodian food hits, I don't have to spend time pounding away on the mortar and pestle or drive across the bridge to Oakland. We (2 adults and 2 small kids) ordered way more food than we needed to, because I'm a glutton . That being said, everything we had was delicious and I'm going back again when we can. I wish there were a couple other Cambodian food staples on the menu, so hopefully she'll add those soon. Food in order of pictures (top to bottom) 1) prahok ktiss 2) beef sticks 3) Nom Banchok 4) (Samlaw) Machew Kreung 5) Stuffed wings 6) Kaw (kids' favorite) 7) beef jerky If you've missed having good Cambodian food on this side of the bridge, you need to swing by. If you've never had Cambodian food and live on either side of the bridge, you need to swing by. Hit up all of the East Bay spots as well (Nyum Bai, Battambang and etc...). read more

She always served with good presentation that make food look really really really good and more importantly she gives lots of food, so even if the price is a bit high,but it worth it!

Soooo this place is the best authentic Cambodian in the whole Bay Area and let me tell you why! Chef Sitha was born and raised in Cambodia and came over to the states at the age of 10. Learned how to cook from her mom which also helps throw down in the kitchen because they have been packed every weekend! My favorite items are the beef stew with rice (Salaw machu kreung) Stuffed Angel wings with the sweet chili sauce Fish soup - nom ba jok Steak with Prahok sauce -fermented fish steak sauce Beef and chicken sticks. Pack with flavors, tender, and juicy! Chef Sitha also ran a Cajun restaurant in Texas for a few years which is why she serves fresh crawfish when in season, coconut shrimp, po boys, gumbo and grilled blacken salmon. Restaurant is located in San Bruno at Pho de NGUYEN. Hours are limited and they have a separate party room for catering your events. Give it a try if your into authentic Cambodian/Cajun! I know what your thinking- Finally!! An authentic Cambodian restaurant on this side of the bay. Feeling blessed! read more
