We came here on a weeknight as a group of 4 with a reservation for 3. Our server Joe (I think?) was super friendly and fun and knowledgeable about the dishes. I would describe the food here as modern fusion food. I learned that the chef is actually Taiwanese and his wife is Cambodian and some influence on the food. My friend got a pork dish and said it was super spicy, not what she was expecting. I got the noodle salad dish wish chicken, and the chicken was boiled and bland, and I wish I would have gotten the tofu dish instead. We also got some mocktails, and they were definitely Americanized drinks. I think the best dish is probably their fried chicken dish, which our friend got. Overall, the food is fine, and the service is great, but I would not say that this is genuine Cambodian food.

Great food. Very flavorful and exciting dishes. Well managed place. Service was great and the interior and courtyard were cool. Bao buns are great, and we enjoyed the Lo Mein. Not the biggest fan of the chicken wings. Chicken Ginger Soup Dumplings were tasty but thought the portion was a bit small. Overall a good spot, and would happily return again.

Just an amazing place with incredible food at a price you can't beat. This is my go to restaurant in the city

Everything was perfect ! Took my friend there for her birthday. When I tell you: EVERYTHING was wonderful! Because I have to be Gluten Free, I am accustomed to having limited options .... This time, I am thrilled to report the menu items that were marked GF were above and beyond :.: I will be back regularly now that I've found this treasure.

For a pretty well known DC restaurant, the place was very empty on a Friday afternoon. Made reservations in advance but came in way earlier than expected. Because there were plenty of tables open, they just sat us down earlier. I was excited because it was a Taiwanese Cambodian fusion place. However, I think the dishes that we ended up getting fell more toward Taiwanese flavors. Pidan tofu was pretty basic. The flavors of the actual ingredients were left to shine. Not much other seasoning. Wanting the tofu to soak up the tare a little better. The pidan was very smooth though. Tofu wasn't. Duck noodle soup was my favorite. The soup was savory and seasoned nicely. The duck could've been more tender and moist. A hearty bowl of noodle soup. The you tiao was good, light and crispy. I didn't like the Maketto fried chicken as much as I thought I would. The batter on the chicken was a little bit thick and could've been crispier. However, given how the sauce was a caramel it makes sense why it wasn't as crispy. The flavors were good. The caramel made it sweeter than I wanted it to be. However, the chicken was super moist. Staff were friendly. Overall, I would say most of the dishes have a more Taiwanese flavor profile. I wasn't blown away by anything in particular, but it wasn't a bad meal.

First off, love the vibes. It was very hip (they had a cool collection of sneakers and street fashion) and it felt very young. Perfect to come for a casual date or with friends. Food was actually really really good! I'm usually skeptical about a lot of Asian places in the US (since I'm so used to good Asian food back home). But the lo mein and crispy chicken here were amazing--- perfect amount of sweet and salty. The sauce on the chicken was super addicting!! Service was fast and good. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes!!

Amazing service, ambiance and food. We came here on a Wednesday and it wasn't too difficult to find parking. I somehow forgot to make a reservation but they took us anyway. We got the Negroni ceremony. It was too strong for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. We ordered strange flavor eggplant, ginger chicken soup dumplings, num pang sandwich, wok fried noodles, and the egg custard dessert. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the dessert and noodles. I loved the eggplant too and wish I knew how to make it. The bread that came with the eggplant was warm and comforting. I'd love to come back to try more options.
