Phnom Penh Noodle House returns!

I was so disappointed when the bakery across the street, Mon Hei, closed after the Christmas 2013 fire and commented at that time we hope Phnom Penh never ever close. We are so so happy they are returning.

My tummy is ready!

This place was a fixture of the Chinatown neighborhood and a niche business as well (Cambodian, along with other S/SE Asian if I remember correctly). They only closed due to a family tragedy. It's natural to report on it. Also, noodle soup is awesome.

It’s a Cambodian restaurant- it’s special to me for that reason. I guarantee you can’t name another Cambodian restaurant in the state. Also, seems like it takes more effort to be mad that people like something a lot then to just keep scrolling on BUT ALRIGHT.

Do you know how damn hard it is to get any Cambodian food around here? This is a big deal, especially to Cambodians. My mother’s side of the family are Cambodian refugees, they literally had to run from their own government who was trying to kill their own people. And they don’t have the same luxury of eating comfort food outside of their home like other Asians. My grandparents will never be able teach me how to cook Cambodian food because of the language barrier and they are practically bed ridden, and my mother is mentally unstable from her childhood trauma and didn’t teach me jack shit. So yeah I am so fucking excited for this noodle shop.
