I love their beef soup & their spring rolls. I went there a bit before closing time yet the owner was very accommodating to me & my son. You could tell she cares about her business & her customers.
I lived 4 months in Siem Reap & regularly ordered Lok Lak, that was my favourite meal.
I have decided to try it out here. Funny enough but I find it unauthentic in a good way - beef here is better that I had in Cambodia ( don't know if it is a way of cooking or simply because quality of beef is superior in Canada ).
However what I liked more in Cambodia - they were very generous with Kampot's pepper! Here I feel like lack of pepper.
Overall liked the dish here, not the same I used to have in different places in Siem Reap, but still good enough.
10/10 would recommend. I've been several times & have always been pleased. The restaurant is clean, & the staff polite & efficient. The food is fresh & not overly seasoned....they let the food stand on its own merit! The portions are big & fair for the price. I recommend perhaps asking for take-out even if you plan to dine-in as the portions are large & they will charge you a small fee for takeout packaging. The Cha Loc Lac, Pad Thai, & beef soup are my go-to's snd they never disappoint. *****Edit: I've been twice since originally reviewing & I can say I will not be returning after the last time! The food is inconsistent in quality, flavour, & quantity. The shrimp pad Thai was overcooked including the noodles, the FIVE pieces of shrimp were bone dry & low-quality. For $17, a dish of mostly rice noodles should have more than five low-budget shrimp & you shouldn't have to Where's Waldo for the egg neither. There clearly is no passion for the food & it's evident after going several times as the dishes are hit or miss. Personally, they can miss me with that as I don't give my hard-earned money to establishments that don't appreciate my patronage, & don't seem to comprehend that in a business transaction the outcome needs to be satisfactory for both parties!*****
