While browsing through lists of restaurants in Vancouver, Phnom Penh was literally #1 in every Southeast Asian, affordable and casual restaurant ranking. I thought it would be more Vietnamese , but it's actually more Cambodian style dishes.
We went here on a rainy day. It's located on a street with nothing so it was a bit hard to find. Once we found it and stepped inside, there were already tons of people waiting.
Lots of awards on the wall. I was excited when I saw that Anthony Bourdain had eaten here.
Super casual interior.
"Butter Beef"
There is no butter used and the reason why they call it this is because the beef melts in your mouth like butter. It was basically beef carpaccio, and it wasn't as heavy as it looks and the acidic sauce was quite refreshing. Everyone wrote about this in reviews, so we gave it a try.
I also read about this "Cambodian Style Chicken Wings" (we got the 1/2 order) in a lot of reviews and seriously, about 95% of the tables order them. The wings are already flavored but tastes even better when you dip it in the lemony, peppery sweet sauce.
We also shared this bowl of Cambodian style rice noodles, which was super yum. This was my favorite.
