Solid family-run establishment! The Tiger Tear with Spicy Sauce was delicious: there was a great mix of flavors from the fish sauce, lime juice, and the lemongrass. The beef was nicely charred and quite tender. It seemed very similar to Thai beef salad (yum nua). They let you choose the spice level. I got it with a side of rice. The major drawback was the price--$25 and I left somewhat hungry still... read more

Before today I had never had Cambodian food. I asked the server for recommendation and this was one of them. It was perfect for me because I I'm trying to trim down a bit. And this has no rice with it. It was just meat and vegetables. It was delicious, and I added some of the hot chili oil to it. It was very fresh tasting, and the green peppers, which sometimes can be overwhelming, were better than I expected. The service was very friendly and she always kept me filled with water and making sure I didn't need anything. It's a very simple place, but I would love to come back and try something else. read more

Years ago someone said my review of the light rail could be a TV show. On other occasions, my reviews struggle to hit two sentences. Thmor Da is outstanding, but I wish I had more to say about the menu. The Tiger Tears appetizer is such a knockout that I haven't diversified. My last two trips here were solo, and it's large enough to be an entree (if you add rice which is a must because of the sauce), so I didn't get other things. It features grilled beef, peppers and onions, in a spicy, citrusy concoction that gets more fiery as you go along. I'm unclear if there's a formal spice paradigm but I got "medium". (I haven't uploaded my official Spice Tolerance Documents yet but as a benchmark I usually go for medium at legit ethnic restaurants and was pleased with the "two pepper" level at Dan & John's Wings in Brooklyn). I was fascinated by the chili paste, dry chilis and jalapenos that adorned the tables but they're not necessary in this dish. Also I think this was my first-ever durian shake, which provided an intriguing counterpoint to the spice. The guy who was working here was super-friendly and helpful in explaining the options to newcomers. We talked about his favorite restaurants in Chinatown and the relative absence of Cambodian food in NYC. read more

One of the few restaurants left on Shirley ave that's been there for many MANY YEARS. It's a go to for me when I crave something Cambodian to eat! Price has really gotten up- I do understand since all other surrounding restaurants are at similar price point but I do wish maybe getting more for our buck. Sometimes the portions do not equate to the prices. Overall I do really enjoy their food and service is always great! read more

This has been one of my favorite Cambodian restaurants in the area for years. Busy or slow, the workers always greet me with a smile. My favorites are the meekathang (chow foon), crispy yellow noodles, and spicy ground beef dishes. Years ago, they all used taste out of the world with the original chef but has since retained most of their essence. Highly recommend especially to support the local mom and pap shops! read more

I think my foodie expience here was okay, just not quite what I had hoped. The restaurant is very small and due to covid, you are not allowed in; all orders are placed at the shielded entrance and picked up there when ready. The papaya salad for was a little over dressed, the Prahok, fermented fish sauce, was quite strong for my taste and didn't seemed to acheive a harmonious balance with the other ingredients. Mind you, there are distinct flavor difference between Cambodian, Vietnamese, Lao and Thai papaya salads. This one just didn't hit all my personal flavor notes. On the other hand, the Pork Pad Thai was very good with a generous amount of pork and balanced flavors. Over all it was a good experience and I am sure there are other dishes prepared there that are equally as good as their Pad Thai. read more

On Revere's Shirley avenue, a revamped street full of Asian and Latin markets, Thmor Da holds its own, as the king of Cambodian Cuisine. Most of the time, I never get past the soup and salad, when the soup is their delicious, sweet Crab Meat soup, and the salad is their tangy, funky, Green Papaya salad. A note to the faint of heart, that salad has been sometimes "medium spicy", but other times, I had quite the fire on my lips and tongue. At various times, my dining companions and I had the Fried Fish with Ginger sauce, the Chili Quail (I warned him he'd be working around those tiny bones, but does anyone ever listen?), the Beef with Ginger, the Shrimp Tom Yum soup, the lemon soup with fish, the Thai style beef salad, and the Pad Thai (which they spell Pat Thai). Only on this final one did I find the Cambodian touch not quite on the money, for a Thai dish, although the menu is very much a merger of the two cuisines. (For me, they are Pad Thai noodles, or they are some other noodle.) There are a few tables, one usually occupied by their children, who are extremely well behaved. A TV overhead plays Cambodian music videos. Of course, if you are just getting your feet wet with this cuisine, go in for Tiger Tears and Loc Lak. If you are just getting your feet wet after a life time of Chinese food, these are staples that won't scare you too much, one being essentially pepper beef over tomatoes and cucumbers, the other being seared steak with a spicy nuoc cham dipping sauce. Sometimes either can be served with rice, or lettuce wraps of Thai basil. Scared of your younger eaters? Good ol' spring rolls, egg rolls, Chow Foon noodles, and fried rice dishes are here too. So, take a little trip on the spice wagon, and give Thmor Da a try! read more

I'd only had Cambodian cuisine a few times--first, a more banquet style version in Boston, and second, at a Cambodian/Taiwanese restaurant in D.C. I absolutely hated my stir-fry at the Boston restaurant, but really enjoyed the kuy teav in D.C. Thmor Da came highly recommended from a friend, and I knew I had to try it, since I love southeast Asian cuisines and since I didn't have much experience with Cambodian food. Thmor Da is tiny, with only about eight tables. The server is absolutely wonderful, but she is so busy, that you will have a wait. I sat myself since I was standing for a while and didn't see her, and that seems to be acceptable. Another reviewer mentioned having the menu items listed in both Khmer and English (currently, it's only English), as well as in both alphabets, and I do think that would be super helpful. I wanted everything on the menu, but finally decided on the spring rolls (which would be considered summer rolls by many, including myself), dry yellow noodles with chicken (dry kuy teav), and Tiger Tears. The spring rolls were just OK--I really thought I was getting the fried pork and taro ones. I probably wouldn't order them again, as they were a little bland. I loved my dry yellow noodles with chicken, which is a flavorful chicken, noodle, and aromatics combination with broth on the side. The dish was so well-seasoned that I didn't use a ton of broth, though I did add chile sauce. Tiger Tears is a cold pepper, onion, herb, and steak dish that is delicious and extremely flavorful. It looks spicy, but it actually isn't--not sure if you have to specify that, but I will next time. While there's another Cambodian restaurant on the North Shore, Thmor Da seems to be the more popular option, and it'll definitely be my option when I come home. read more

It's about to go down! This is honestly my favorite mom & pop restaurant. It's a true hidden gem in Revere. I've had other Cambodian places around in Lowell, Lynn etc and this place still out beats them all. Usually there's only one waiter/waitress because of how small the place is but they do a kickass up job of multi-tasking. They're always so nice and sweet. Dishes are about $7-$13 and under depending on size and portion you get but nothing should cost you more than that. Your total bill here would be the cheapest thing you ever eaten but feel like you went for a 5 course fine dining dinner! My top picks and go-to are: 1. Special chow fun with seafood and beef (meekathung) 2. Curry pickled fish with coconut milk 3. Bo luc lac 4. Dry noodle seafood and beef (new fave) read more

We are well-versed in Thai food as well as Vietnamese cuisine but I haven't really tried Cambodian before. We truly enjoyed the papaya salad it was different from Thai style papaya salad or Vietnamese style papaya salad. The beef noodle soup was great as was the pineapple coconut curry soup with white rice. We can't wait to return. It's a small restaurant that is clearly family operated. Looks like a great local establishment and A great place to visit. This is an addendum to our prior review. Now we are truly in love. Every time we drive by revere we have to stop and have lunch. As many of the other reviewer's recommended you have to try the Tiger Tears. It's basically a cold beef salad but it's out of this world. The owners are super friendly. read more

Thmor Da - Beef salad - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

Phenomenal service and food! We were greeted with the kindest and most adorable, professional young man server. He had glasses and was the son of the owner. He was very helpful with the menu, polite, professional, and brought out the food and tea on time. The food was delicious as well. The mango salad was unique, delicious, and a perfect balance of flavors from sweet to umami. Also, we LOVED the beef drunken noodles. Every dish we had was amazing but those two were the stand outs. Back to the service though!!! Our server even greeted us on the way out and held the door open. It was the best service we've ever had and were even talking about it after dinner when we were headed back to our hotel. This was also our first time trying Cambodian food and the flavors enhance the natural ingredients and everything was seasoned so perfectly. Perfect amount of spice, saltiness, and sweetness. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!!! I wish we lived close so that we could come often and try more dishes. read more

Sadly there is not a large number of Cambodian restaurants in the Boston area since most of the Massachusetts population lives in the Lowell area, but luckily in Revere there is this small mom and pop restaurant along with a few grocery stores in the area. I have more than a few Cambodian friends and have been lucky enough to experience Khmer food at it's finest, from local restaurants all over Lowell to people's mother's kitchens, and plenty plenty plenty of cookout food. My friend wanted to try Khmer food for the first time and since I didn't feel like driving all the way to Lowell, this spot popped up when I searched for Cambodian food in the Boston area. When we dropped by, the restaurant has a real small, diner type feel. The menu is pretty big but the one thing that threw me off is that they use Westernized names on the menu for the most part instead of Khmer names (Cambodian style chow fun instead of mee kathung). This is confusing for me because I only know some of the dishes by their Khmer names but when I talked to the waitress and gave her the Khmer names, she obviously knew what I was talking about and was able to help me out. We got: Special Mee Kathung (Cambodian Style Chow Fun) - Stir fried flat rice noodles with beef, shrimp, squid, and chinese broccoli in a thick gravy. The noodles and beef have a little bit of char on them from being cooked at a high temperature which is the sign of a good stir fried rice noodle. The thick gravy and seafood really make the dish. Comfort food at it's finest. Chicken Cha Kreoung (Lemongrass stir-fry Chicken) - I didn't see this on the menu but when I asked the waitress she said they had it. Chicken, onions, and bell-peppers with a tangy lemongrass curry sauce. Bok Lahong (Green papaya salad) - Pungent, spicy, and sour; this is the total package. It totally blows the Western style papaya salads that you might get at your local Thai restaurant out of the water. It comes with dry shrimp, and if you like spicy food make sure to ask for it spicy, they will not hold back. This is a small gem of delicious Cambodian food in a beautiful neighborhood right by Revere Beach. Dine in, or take out and go eat by the beach. A great experience regardless. read more

First time trying Cambodian food and I must say that I am impressed. This place is definitely a hole in the wall kind of restaurant. Nothing fancy at all. The stains on the door and the dirty tables will probably scare most away but I don't mind. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right??? Maybe not. I was being brave today as my son picked food up off the table! I recommend ordering to go rather than dining there if you cannot stand small, crowded and not clean restaurants. I recommend the following: For appetizers: Their spicy beef salad, Tiger Tears. It has thinly sliced seared beef over a bed of sliced red and green bell peppers, red onion, basil leaf, kafir lime leaves and dressed in a salty sweet and sour fish sauce. If you can handle a fermented shrimp paste dressing, the mint and beef salad is also delicious. A mix of beef, bean sprouts, red and green peppers, red onions, green eggplants and Vietnamese coriander. The bite size egg rolls stuffed with taro and pork which comes with a dish sauce dipping. Taro smoothie is standard. And so is the crispy beef noodle. Can't wait to try more items on the menu. See my pictures. read more

Me and husband both had soup and right before I was about to take a bite I noticed a maggot, I brought it to the attention of the server and she took it back and just asked if I wanted another one... never again am I going back to this place and this still charged for one of the soups... if you go here 'HEADS UP' please make sure to check your food before eating it!!!! Definitely taking this to city hall and show them pictures they need to get health inspection in their restaurant! read more

My partner and I eat here all the time, sometimes three times a week. We love this place! It's family run so you need to understand that before dining here. Sometimes it takes a while but it's well worth the way. Their flavors are consistent and they always deliver amazing service. This is our favorite restaurant in town! We like the spicy chili beef and loc lac, the lot rolls are great. They are tiny but they give you more than enough to share in one order. We've also tried the soup and it's great! Definitely a little different than Pho (obviously but I just want to clarify in case you're curious), but still tons of flavor and the serving is huge. It's also very reasonably priced. We know we are getting quality for our price. read more

Oh my god, I have been searching for a Cambodian restaurant that's close to Boston and I have finally found it. Loved all the food here and would definitely come back!! We had some noodle soups, a stir fry noodle, and the beef loklak. If you have never had Cambodian food and feel intimidated, don't be! The dishes, to me, are similar to Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai food. I think everything tasted amazing and nothing felt overly oily or salty either. Also try the lot rolls! Tastes just like how my mom makes them. Amazing! Service was also good. There's only street parking as far as I know. read more

Its a lot of work sucking the meat off those tiny bones (see my uploaded pic) but its delicious and worth it. The staff are nice and helpful and very attentive. Also... they have mountain dew in cans. HELLO!! Thats an added star right there :-D read more

Thmor Da - cambodian spicy quail - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

It's really hard to find authentic Cambodian food like this and it's definitely the best I've tried compared to the others in the area. Best papaya salad around the Boston area. If you like REALLY spicy food, definitely ask them to make the papaya salad extra spicy for more of a kick. Their Beef Loc Lac rice plate is really good as well. Although it's a simple dish, there are places that cook the beef too well-done or there's too much sauce they stir-fried it in. For $3 you can get a good amount of mini egg rolls, which was delicious. Usually most places charge you $4 (more or less) for just 2 egg rolls. The prices isn't bad at all. The service was good. Only thing is, is that I'm not too fond of the location, but that's not too much of an issue. Also, it used to be the old Floating Rock and the food is just as good as the previous owners! **Also, they DO accept credit cards!! read more

I've spent my childhood eating Cambodian food in Lowell, and I've also had it in Long Beach California, and in Cambodia, so the three major populations of khmer people. Other than these locations, I've never really seen authentic Cambodian food anywhere else. Moving to Revere, I lamented the 50 minute drive I would need to take to get it. However, little that I know, Revere actually had a small cambodian population even before Lowell did, and Thmor Da is evidence of that. Came here for lunch, and it did remind me of the hole in the wall places in Lowell. It was in the afternoon around 2 on a sunday, and the place was relatively empty. There looked to be about ten tables for 2-4 people, with only one or two tables occupied when I got there. I was greeted and quickly seated by the lone waiter there. Unfortunately, the menu isn't labeled with distinctly cambodian names for the dishes, but I was able to parse what I wanted. It also helped that i knew the names of what I wanted in my limited command of the language. Mei Phnom Peng Ko, is basically the equivalent of a Vietnamese pho dac biet, but used egg noodles instead, and was served dry with the soup on the side. Its served with shrimp, squid, fish cake, chicken, beef and liver. The garlicky, oily flavor reminded me of home, and definitely hit the spot. It wasn't an overly greasy dish either. The spring rolls were also made fresh, and they brewed my ice coffee on the spot. Though this might be because being in the middle of winter, one wouldn't expect an order for ice coffee. From a price point, I was a little surprised at the $18 dollar bill, and with tip, that was $21. However, I did order more than I would usually get for lunch. All in all, I'm excited to go back and order try the other options. read more

This is a solid mom and pop neighborhood joint whose offering will satisfy all. We ordered the special egg noodle soup, salted fish curry and seafood stir fry. All we amazing. The soup was in a beef broth with fish cake, imitation crab, beef balls, rare round eye and bits of brisket. The long curly egg noodles were cooked perfectly, but the broth was a bit on the warm side whereas I would have preferred it piping hot. The salted fish curry had the perfect balance of spicy savory. The dish did have ground pork which was a head scratcher because we were not expecting the combo to work well together, but surprisingly they did. On the side was jasmine rice, fresh veggies and lime to tie all the flavors together. Lastly, the stir fried veggies and seafood rounded out the square meal. Think pepper steak at your usual Chinese take out now add every seafood into the mix. The shrimp, scallops, squid and crab went well with the rice and pepper. I will definitely be back for more!!! read more
