Great low-key spot for noodle soup! I got the dry noodles and it was amazing. The texture of the noodle has the perfect bounce. The shrimp was so tender and delicious. The dish does include innards so keep that in mind.

The area needs more places like this. The restaurant earns its high marks. Their workers demonstrated skill that surpassed any I've encountered. Every menu item shows quality focus. The visit fulfilled expectations.

Nice little restaurant. One of our dishes was slow to come. Otherwise we liked our food. The lady serving us was nice.

Best place ever in Philly for authentic Cambodian food. Mama been cooking forever, please don’t forget to tip them. This truly is a small business that deserves its recognition. Lok lak is YUM (beef salad dish), mi ka thaong (flattened noodles) is one of my go-to’s, their homemade pho is spectacular. Everytime im in south Philly, this stop is a marvel. love to this store

Ordered the beef stewed with noodle soup and the beef and beef ball noodle soup and it was amazing. We got the egg soda and it was also delicious! I should’ve ordered the regular size instead of a large because the portion size was huge. Will definitely come back
