solid. food was spot on for my Cambodian taste buds. I moved to Boston a little over a month ago and started to miss me some home cookin, but Momma's house was more than 3,000 miles away. yelped around and found that this place was right next by a T stop. Sa-weet! - okay, so it was still about a 45 minute train ride away, but desperate times..... papaya salad - i asked for medium so the spice level was just right beef sticks - a bit thin on the meat, but flavor was good. spicy chicken stir fry thing? - good spices, but they could chillax on the sodium. a few less shakes of the salt jar would have made it even more yum. overall, good experience. craving fulfilled. probably have to make a return visit (or two) since i have to wait another two and half months before i can go visit mi madre back home. read more

Location: Parking is easy enough to find on a weeknight. Mostly metered spaces that stop needing coins after 5pm. If before, I suggest parking at the wonderland plaze and do a little shopping at big lots and marshalls before doing a short hike over to Thmor Da, will help work up a little appetite! Food: Tiger Tears (3.5 stars really) Had to try this since this seems to be a popular choice with fellow yelpers. Took about 10mins to come out and presentation wise, looks delicious. The glistening peppers and onions and lemon grass aromas was phenomenol. The server had suggested rice to go along with it and I definitely agreed. I first tried a few peppers and onions and the crisp crunch confirmed the freshness of the veggies in the dish. The light, tangy, sweet spicy sauce clinging to the veggies definitely was a blast of flavors that would not make this a boring dish. The spice level is actually medium in my opinion so I didn't need much water and could eat continuously without having to stop and rest. - The beef on there other hand was too tough. It was bit overcooked so I had a rough time chewing. One piece I couldn't chew through so had to grind a bit to just swallow. That was realy the only part of the meal that was unsatisfactory. If they could either just make the beef a bit more rare or tenderize it a little more, that would make it perfect. I love the lemongrass in the dish, really does give it the flair you associate with Thai/Camdodian food. Overall, a great spicy dish Inside: Eight tables with four chairs to a table. They took 2 and put together in the back to form a longer table for 6-8 people. There is a lcd tv that they had tuned to the food network, was watching man vs food at the time. Service: One waitress, brought me water initially and check in every so often. Overall: Would come back to try other dishes. read more

Thmor Da - Tiger tears $11 - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

Anytime I am nearby I get the tiger tears and their version of pad thai. Really wish they delivered!

Got the spicy chicken with rice. Chicken is well flavored and given enough rice. Dish is just chicken and rice, no vegetables or sauces of any kind. Service was excellent, gives a great name for mom and pop shops to see server trying to make everyone happy :). Next time, I'll probably try the beef dish or a noodle dish! read more

I was in area and tired of oysters, chowders and fried clams. So I decided to try something different and stop for lunch at Thmor Da and so happy I did. I had the A1 soup and the fish curry dip with veggies and both were delicious! read more

Thmor Da - Pork & seafood noodle soup - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

Nothing fancy here except for comforting food exploding with flavor!! This little spot in revere is a hidden local gem. As soon as you walk in you're greeted by the very friendly waiter. He's very attentive and nice, willing to tell you all about the menu! We also essentially had a big meal for two for $36!! Way to go cheap eats!! Now, for the food. As others have mentioned, tiger tears is the star of the show. This beef dish is considered a salad as it's mixed with all sorts of herbs and spices and lots of peppers for texture. The spicy, salty, sour flavors mix perfectly with the tender beef. Also couldn't resist the beef loc lak, chunks of well seasoned beef cooked medium rare served with your choice of white rice or fried rice. White rice is the way to go to get the most out of the flavors. Don't forget to pour that lemon pepper sauce over it all, it just completes the dish. This is comfort food at its best. Mango salad with pork and shrimp is very good too but the pork is very minimal and lacks a bit in flavor. The egg rolls or lot rolls weren't what I expected but still tasty. They're bite sized and filled with lots of taro and a subtle pork flavor. read more

Possibly the best meal I've had since coming to Boston 5 years ago. It's a minuscule hole in the wall joint with few tables, but each dish that we had was flavorful and well spiced. We asked them to make the papaya salad spicy, and it was! One of the spiciest (and tastiest) things I've had in a while. For those unfamiliar with Khmer cuisine, come check this place out. If you like Southeast Asian or Yunnanese kind of stuff, you won't be disappointed. Note: closes at 8 pm! read more

The price is a plus everything is cheap!. If you want cambodian food this is the spot to go!. read more

Thmor Da - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

Came here for a friend's bday and had a good time. I never had Cambodian food before so I didn't have anything to compare it to. I'll start off by saying the service was great. Our server was really friendly and very accommodating to our large group. The apps we had tasted different from what I've had before. The taro filled spring rolls had a really hard crust with a nice mild taro filling. The best dish we had were the tiger tears- really well seasoned and the best I've had in the Boston area. The stir fried chow Foon was cooked well in the different preparations we ordered. Definitely a different experience and worth checking out ! read more

No frills, hole in the wall, but the food is authentic! Cannot go wrong with their chow foon (traditionally called mee ka thung) absolutely delicious!! read more

I ordered the Mee ga thung/ ladnah, it's stir fry wide noodles with a thick gravy sauce, not sure what they have it as on their menu, with an egg on top. I was really hungry so at first it was delicious then after a few bites I notice some parts was plain. It was good but not great. I would still try it out again because I just got to make sure it's as good as people say it is. It's a hit and miss, And I just had one of those days where the chef didn't feel working, that's my luck! I hit everything but the lottery! Lol read more

Hole in the wall restaurant with authentic food and great prices. Staff was attentive and super friendly

The best place to go for authentic Khmer food. As a vegetarian there are a few go to dishes like "me ka tang palai" - chow fun noodles with Chinese broccoli Khmer style. There is "bai Cha palai" fried rice with vegetables sometimes I add tofu. The yellow fried noodles with Chinese broccoli is also a go too including Thai style pad thai with no meat. And of course the fresh spring rolls with or without tofu. I can eat here everyday except Tuesday's because they are closed on Tuesday's read more

Place use to be good I don't know what happened. Food is never consistent anymore. It's either very bland or too burnt. But, some days it tastes good. I wonder if they have a bunch of different chefs. Whoever the chef is on the weekdays needs to learn how to cook. read more

Very tasty, family run establishment. We tried the fresh rolls that were absolutely delicious. Our Mango and Coconut shakes we perfectly refreshing and not too sweet. I had the Tiger Tear which they're known for and my girlfriend had the Pad Thai with Seafood. Both were very tasty and big portions. We will be back! read more

To start off, the food is fantastic. That is the biggest thing when it comes to my reviews. Then comes three more areas I have to judge and that's price, service and location. As I stated before, I love their food. I've never had chow fun like the ones they make here, super delicious and authentic, not like other Americanized ones. Their fruit shakes tie in the whole meal and if you weren't feeling full before, then that did the job for you. The price I must admit is a little steep. But for a place I only frequent once every two weeks or so, I don't mind paying a little more to be spoiled. Then again, I suppose that's why i still deducted one star. The location is great. There's plenty of parking which is THE biggest thing for me. The restaurant itself is quite small and when they have a lot of customers.. you basically know everyone's business. That doesn't bother me much since I do mostly take out anyways. (I don't have any friends :( ) Finally the service is top notch. They are a family owned restaurant and those are the ones with the best service because they want to have customer loyalty. They always have a smile on their faces and they just make you feel like you're part of the family. Overall this is a great place to grab some Cambodian grub. Would've gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the steep prices but I can live with it if the foods consistently fantastic. read more

Being a Vietnamese born in Vietnam, I am partial to Southeast Asian cuisine for their bold flavors and liberal use of fish sauce. I've searched high and low all over Boston for a good Cambodian restaurant and I think I've finally found it. I have in the past tried Elephant Walk, hoping it would have the flair of the Cambodian flavors I once experienced from a Cambodian neighbor's meals in Vietnam. I was thoroughly disappointed but that's a story for another day. Now, let me get on about Thmor Da. I went with my boyfriend for dinner on Friday night. The place is unpretentious with some cheesy Cambodian themed arts on the wall and some linoleum tables. Each table had the quintessential tray of condiments including the fish sauce and the pickled chilis. All the tables were filled with young English speaking Southeast Asians and one table was an older white couple. We were sat immediately by a very polite soft spoken young man, who is probably part of the family operation. He handed us two menus, all of which were in English and had very useful images of some of the food. I originally intended to try their noodles because I am a noodle lover but my boyfriend suggested we did a meal family style since there were so many dishes we wanted to try. Based on the good reviews of the tiger's tears, we ordered that as an appetizer. For our main course we ordered a mango salad with shrimps and the beef loklak. This came with a large side of rice for us to share. The tiger's tears was an explosion of bold flavors. Every bite had us wanting more. It was sour, sweet, salty, spicy all in one bite. The lemongrass and the crunch of the roasted rice added so much complexity to such a simple dish! Our mango salad was fresh and the beef loklak was so tender. When the food came out I was afraid we weren't going to finish it all but before we knew it, we had devoured every last morsel of it! Needless to say, I will be back for more soon. This place is a little hidden gem! read more

Remember before Floating Rock migrated to Central Square and it was this hidden Revere Beach gem with outstanding authentic Cambodian food? I do. I'd have been crushed if such a precious commodity went the way of the dodo, but Thmor Da to the rescue. Spicy Tiger Tears? Check. Lok Lak? Check. Durian shakes? Check. (I, admittedly, am not brave enough to conquer the durian melon, but it's there if you want it). The food we had and shared was outstanding. Here are the goods, the mediocres, and a whole bunch of outstandings: Outstanding: ~Fried whole fish in ginger sauce. Price not listed, but mine was $17. It fed 7 of us comfortably with the other accompanying dishes. Crispy skin, tender flesh, huge bones so no question about what was or wasn't ok to eat, and we gutted the thing clean. ~Tofu pad thai. Tasted like french toast, for real. Folks not as accustomed to cambodian food got the tofu, the seafood, and the chicken pad thais, but the tofu was easily the best. A very eggy tofu, I imagine possibly house-made? Unlike any I've had before, the consistency was definitely layered like the best kind of brioche french toast you can find. ~Lok lak. These are basically fried beef cubes that come with a black pepper dipping sauce. Had lok lak before other places and weren't impressed? Try it here. I promise it's better. Good: ~Spicy Tiger Tears. Not for the faint of heart - it's spicy, it's sour, basically a medium-sized beef and pepper salad appetizer. If you want to know what's so special about Cambodian food, though, this is the app not to miss. ~The chicken with onion and thai basil and rice - not sure the specific number on this guy, but normally I'm not that impressed by chicken on a menu and I really thought this one was a treat. Mediocre: ~Papaya Salad with Shrimp. I'm not a huge papaya salad person to begin with so maybe you'll love it, but the shrimp is dried shrimp so it's not really anything you can see, and I just think compared to the other food we ordered it would be the first thing I'd forego the next time around. ~Boba. I got a Taro shake, and while the Taro part couldn't have been more perfect, the boba itself weren't prepared properly - they were hard and mealy. Save yourself $0.50 and get yourself another ounce of shake - the boba is the only thing I'd say is an absolute no-no on their menu. Service was wonderful, the bill was cheap, they had a steady crowd coming and going but there was no wait for our table of 8 after a beach-day afternoon. If you come to Revere and Thmor Da isn't part of your day plan, you're doing it wrong. read more

Great Cambodian food! I stopped by here after a day at the beach. I had the tiger tears and shrimp fried rice. The portions are very good for the price. The tiger tear dish is very flavorful and although it's listed as an appetizer, I ate it as my meal and was stuffed afterward. The shrimp fried rice was seasoned very well and I ended up having enough left for lunch the next day. read more

When this hole in the wall place on Shirley Ave was still Floating Rock, I fell in love with it (circa 2005). I loved the small family run place with simple food made on the small burners in the back kitchen. I know Floating rock moved to Cambridge and then closed - I was devastated. Turns out it's still the same owners for Thmor Da. After leaving Boston, I've been searching for something like their Cambodian pad thai with no success. I tried a bunch of Long Beach Cambodian places, and no one had it. It's a slightly sweet and very savory noodle, not overly saucy, topped with lots of textures from radish, hard boiled egg, ground dried shrimp, pickled cucumbers, and peanuts. I came back to get the noodles (now 8 years after I left) and was so happy it still tasted the same. Of course, there's a lot of nostalgia for me, but their Cambodian pad thai is definitely one of my top 3 noodle dishes. read more

I am beyond disappointed with this restaurant! My friends and I traveled all the way from the city to come eat here based on these yelp reviews. We ordered the fish cakes, papaya salad ($7.50), tiger tears ($11), the Thmor Special soup noodles ($7) and chicken wings ($8). I've been eating Cambodian good for the better half of my life, so I know my ish. Everything we got was disappointing... especially the papaya salad. They make it thai style. The waiter, although very nice, tried to argue w me saying thai style was the same as Cambodian. It DEFINITELY is not the same. What was served was not fresh at all, the papaya was limp and way passed its expiration. It lacked lime, sugar, spice... and overall flavor. We had one bite and didn't touch it afterwards. It was the worst papaya salad I've ever had. I have never left a plate of papaya salad unfinished... this was the first. The Tiger tears had flavors that resembled Cambodian-like spices, but the meat was rough and dry. Fish cake was whatevs. The soup noodle was lukewarm and didn't have much flavor either. Anyone familiar with soup noodles know the soup should be scorching hot to cook the accompanying greens. The chicken wings had the worst batter. It was hard and had to be peeled off. Again, it was bland. I felt like they didn't give an eff about what they were serving us. I left terribly unsatisfied and wished I didn't waste my calories on that. read more

This is a family owned restaurant. They took over this location after Floating Rock moved on to a bigger and better location. Congrats to FR! At first, Thmor Da started off rocky. The service staff was slow and unorganized. The food portions were ridiculously small for the price. But given enough time to adjust they've finally gotten their feet steady. The prices are the same but at least now the portions were actually filling. The dining area is pretty small with about 8 tables. You can easily hear every ones business while you enjoy your meal and the atmosphere is laid back. The boy that works there is such a great kid! He smiles a lot. He's also courteous and attentive with out being over bearing. The food is authentic so of course it's good with the only exception of the noodle soup. The broth is just too cloudy and salty for me. I would always need to add condiments to adjust the flavor. To me, the broth tasted like something out of a Swanson broth can. I'm very big on broth. Plus, I've always preferred Vietnamese Pho to Cambodian noodle soup, no offense, so it may just be my biased taste buds. I usually order the dry noodle bowl. What I can't understand is why I have to pay an extra $1 to exclude broth? I guess, maybe that's why I deducted 1 star. Anyway, the same chef that worked under Floating Rock's administration is still there so the famous chow foon is still tasty. Other notable and tasty dishes on the menu to order are beef loc lac, chicken and shrimp sour soup, spicy minced quail stir fry (my favorite!), beef with Chinese broccoli, as well as the tiger tear salad. All in all, this is a great go-to restaurant for a family meal, quick bite, or take out when you're jonesing for Cambodian food. read more

Wow, this place was great! The portions are huge and cheap. It's easily T accessible and it's right by Revere Beach, so you can walk off your food coma. I guess my only complaint was the boba in the bubble tea was still a little frozen. I didn't care that much because it was still delicious, but did make me think twice about ordering it again. Go here. It's good. Try and love the Tiger's Tears. Oh, and the food can be spicy. Beware! read more

Wow!!! The tiger tears dish will change your life if you love spicy food. It is incredibly fresh tasting with the chopped up Thai chilies, basil, veggies, and fish sauce. It definitely reminds me of a Thai dish called larb that they also serve at this restaurant. This is a true mom-and-pop restaurant which I love supporting! I also had their shrimp spring rolls with their homemade fish sauce which was fantastic. The ambience was as expected and the parking was a ok. I will definitely make this my go to place when I'm in town! read more

This is the kind of place I love Yelp for. We were in Revere and wanted food and yelp brought us here. The best salad I've possibly ever had was called "Tiger Tear". It's peppers, a sort of vinegar sauce and other spices, and sliced steak meat. Very tangy and incredibly delicious, get that and some fried rice and you'll be very happy. Other than that, the fried squid was cooked perfectly. Not too rubbery, not too raw. The egg soda is very sweet but it's very tastey, I'm not sure what to compare it to but egg nog comes to mind, though their certainly not the same. We also got a coconut milk sweet and sour soup with stewed meat and pineapple. It was ok, nothing particularly special. read more

We're vegetarian and at first we didn't find much on the menu to choose from, however the cooks were happy to substitute tofu for anything from the stir fry menu (even though tofu isn't listed as an option). The mixed vegetables with fried tofu were deliciously peppery with sliced fresh jalapeños as well and the spring rolls were nicely sized and incredibly fresh. The kids, who vie for the title of Boston's pickiest eaters, devoured the shrimp fried rice which wasn't oily in the slightest. The star of the table was the fried noodles with tofu which was in a richly seasoned sauce with Chinese broccoli on top. We'll be coming to Revere more often! read more

This is a hidden gem in Revere! I've been to this restaurant twice and both times the quality of the food and service was excellent! The first time I tried the yellow noodle soup and ate inside the restaurant. The broth is light and flavorful. Similar to ramen, but with a distinct broth. The server was very attentive and nice. It's relatively small inside but when I pass by there always seems to be open seats. The second time I ordered the special fried rice and chicken lo mein. The rice was a bit salty but so addicting! This time I ordered to go and it was ready within 20 min. If you happen to be in the Revere Beach area and looking for a quick/cheap meal, definitely try this place! read more

3.56789 stars Family style Cambodian in Revere that is affordable and tasty. The people are friendly and the prices are too. The spicy heat was there but on some dishes they pulled their punches, but not on the standout Tiger Tears, best dish we had here. The room is small but they have a couple one big table, it isn't really cramped. At the peak times you might not get a seat. The clientele was at least 60% Cambodian/Asian. I would wager they do more takeout business. * parking: lot across the street. pretty tight on the street, dense residential area. * Tiger Tears, Meat salads (Larb!) and noodles are the standouts. * If you like Thai(and I mean spicy Thai) but haven't tried Cambodian, this is good place to start. read more

Thmor Da - C1 (beef loc lac) - Cambodian Near Me - Revere, Massachusetts

The food here is really good and authentic. It was my first time trying Cambodian food, and I'm very happy that I tried this place! Cambodian food is similar to many south east Asian cuisine. I give one minus star because of its slow service. Be prepared to just stare into an empty space for the server to come. I understand that she's busy and by herself, but it takes good 15 minutes to get water, 30 minutes to get food - and everyone gets their food at a different time. I wouldn't come if I'm super hungry because it take pretty long time to get food or any service in general. read more

I think we didn't choose their best dishes; based on the reviews, we would probably try their tiger appetizer and maybe chow foon next time. The papaya salad was not good (too spicy). The cambodian soup was with watercress, was ok. Service was terrific. read more

Moving from Lowell, where there's plenty of Cambodian restaurants, I felt pretty deprived in Malden. Then someone told me about this place and of course I did not hesitate to go. Besides the fact that it is the only Cambodian restaurant I can find around Malden, I definitely approve of this place. It's your typical mom and pop shops, small and looks like your typical Cambo restaurant. Ever since I've been there, most of the food I've tried is definitely great! I like the fact that they have different sizes for each dish, which is S, L (more like regular), XL. Most of the times, restaurants just have your regular sizes but I like how they give you options. This time visiting, my family and I had the beef stew noodle soup, seafood dry noodles, and beef chow fun (in a small-which looks about the same as the regular size I normally get at Lowell for a couple bucks cheaper! Def a plus!). We also got tea Thai which was a tad too sweet for my preference. Also, the server there, he is pretty awesome! I need to find out his name the next time we go, he's always attentive regardless how busy he is. A must if you like Cambodian food and is around the area! read more
