What People Are Saying About Phnom Penh Restaurant

The Scene
So ordinary on the outside that it blends, as if camouflaged, into this West Side strip of car lots and corner markets, Phnom Penh draws in-the-know devotees from across Ohio. Call ahead: Reservations here are a weekend's most impossible dream.
The Food
For once, a high-concept restaurant delivers more than it promises. Phnom Penh tosses beef, chicken and seafood into an exotic spice pot of turmeric and galanga root, and the resulting flavors are unique. Cambodian crepes are filled with shrimp and pork, and the broad potato noodles could make a star out of the most pedestrian marinara.

I just came from getting takeout there for the first time. Not only is their food substandard, but the service was horrible. There was just one other person in the restaurant when I was there. With only one other person in the restaurant, I can't believe how rudely I was treated being rushed when I ordered, paid and when the food was given to me. I had a noodle dish with chicken and spring rolls. The chicken was miniscule, I thought that it was chunks of tofu because the pieces were cut so small. The spring rolls were also tiny being wrapper and not much else. The flavor was bland. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee which the server told me would have condensened milk (as it should), but it was a simple iced coffee. I have another dish which I have yet to try but am reluctant to because of my bad experience with the other food. Being Asian and working close by I thought that this would have been a regular stop for me for lunch. I was wrong. Sometimes bad service can be overlooked for good food but with terrible service AND food, forget it.

The menu is amazing just to look at, almost like an educational pamphlet on eating, Cambodian-style. Lots of pictures. The prices are good and there's never any wait.
