Reviews
We were happy to see that a local business was busy and parked on one of the side streets and walked over expecting to see a full restaurant but only surprised to see only 1 table. Seems the employees were using the parking lot instead.
Not a big deal but took us a bit to find parking. Wondered how many other customers wanted to stop by but went elsewhere due to lack of parking.
Grew up in the Lynn area and was sad to see a lot of the Cambodian community assimilate and establishments disappear, Great to see a Cambodian restaurant thriving again in Lynn.
➡️Beef Flat noodle Mekathang (Loved the texture of the noodles & really good flavor)
➡️Hot Nu Mon Wings (Nice and crispy)My daughter enjoyed them
➡️Crispy Chicken Bai Sach (Really good flavor loved the chicken & texture to rice)
➡️Beef Ramen(really good flavors)YUM
Their “Mekathang” AKA flat rice noodles are a family favorite. The sauce is savory with a rich consistency that coats every noodle. I usually get the beef and seafood option which comes with tender pieces of beef and juicy pieces of shrimp. The vegetables that come with the dish are always fresh and crisp, especially the baby corn. Their “Bai Sach Mon” AKA crispy chicken & rice is a go to comfort meal too. The chicken comes out fresh and crispy with a delicious sweet chili sauce on the side. Make sure you try their “Bai Cha” AKA fried rice!! It’s so comforting and filling. If you’re looking to try a more traditional homestyle dish, I recommend the “Cha Kreung” which is a lemongrass paste stir fry. You can choose either beef or chicken, both of which come packed with flavor that make this dish superrr comforting. They make this dish just like my yeay (grandma) does and it takes me back home. If you’re looking for quick finger food, their Slap Mon AKA Chicken Wings and their “Kdam Roum” AKA Crab Rangoon Rolls are fresh and crispy every single time. Their “Hot Nu Mon” sauce for their wings is my absolute favorite, it’s a spicy, citrusy, and slightly salty sauce that takes the wings to a whole new level. Be warned, this sauce is addicting! Their crab rangoons are packed full, they never skimp out, and they have a slight sweetness that makes them some of the best I ever had in my life.
In addition to the food being delicious, their prices are really affordable which I understand must be difficult to maintain in our economy right now. On top of that, the restaurant is run by a family team with a husband and wife duo at the forefront of operations. They also make it a priority to be engaged with the community by giving back and serving food at local events. How could you not want to support?
Their service is always amazing and super friendly. If you ever stop by while one of the owners, Peter, is at the register, you can tell right away that he cares for each and every customer that walks through the door. The rest of the staff never hesitate to help walk a customer through the menu if they’re unfamiliar with dishes so don’t be afraid to ask questions. Space is limited but if you do choose to dine-in, the staff are very attentive and kind as well. I really can’t recommend this spot enough! The prices are fair, portions are huge, service is friendly, and the food is delicious!!
