Naga Cafe Khmer Street Food: Reviews & Ratings
First time here and they had really great food. Came in here not hungry at all but still ended up finishing my plate because it was so good. Table set up is a little weird but we didn’t have any issues since it seemed like it was geared more towards carry out. Overall, very delicious.
Delicious food at this mom and pop place. Had the combo grilled beef stick and rice. And I would definitely order it again. I believe they do mostly take out business. It's in an odd location and the tables are not the most inviting or clean. But the lack of atmosphere and sitting is well made up by the value and taste. I would highly recommend it. And I'm all about supporting small business that do their job well.
The food and service was exceptional along with the ambiance. It was nothing fancy, but was clean and rus-tic. It was our first time eating Cambodian food and it was full of flavour. We had the House Noodle and Beef Rice which the 3 beef skewers were full of flavour. The service person took the time to educate us on the difference of Vietnamese and Cambodian food. Highly recommend this place!
Nice selection of foods. The house special noodles and the beef skewers and pork plates are good.
The beef skewer plate is amazing and the wings are the best I've ever had. Lemon pepper & parmesean wings have seasoning instead of sauce. The flavor is great and the wings are so crispy! Can't comment on atmosphere bc I've only ordered to go. That being said, the crispy wings are all the more impressive for holding their crunch until I get the food home. Hidden gem.
This place was in front of the hotel we stayed at and after looking up the food online, I couldn't wait to try it. I had the beef kabob rice bowl and devoured every bite. It was all so flavorful and delicious! I wish I wasn't visiting from out of town, this would be on my rotation of favorites!
The beef skewer plate was delicious! Generous portion of meat, so I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner. Also loved the cozy ambience and kind staff. Will definitely be back!
Good small business with affordable prices. I enjoyed the flavor on the skewer; not to sweet and not to tart. The rice paired well with the beef. That side veg was pallet cleansing along with that tomato slice and cucumber.
