Have been in search of quality Khmer food and have been looking forward to coming here for quite a while. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed. The tuk trey koh kong wasn't as potent as I expected it to be, but the oysters were good. The meekatang had a lot of woodear mushrooms and lacked some flavor. The wings were pretty good. Overall, it just didn't taste very authentically Khmer. 😕 Maybe I have to try it again. - Chak Yeth
