Khmer Food in Long Beach

Hey Everyone,

Going to the aquarium with the kiddos and love stopping by a Cambodian spot after. So far I have been to Monorom and Crystal and enjoyed them both, but I want to try somewhere new! Any recs? Thank you in advance!

Best,
JD

A&J seafood shack is also great, not exactly traditional, and basically a to-go hut with a few outdoor seats, but delicious

Hak Heang for the less watered down Phnom Penh noodles according to my Cambodian intel.

Cambodians are the only people I know of who use marijuana as a traditional cooking ingredient (no, not just in Happy Pizza). https://www.unodc.org/roseap/uploads/archive/documents/2012/06/wdd-cambodia/120628_The_problem_no_one_speaks_about.pdf

Any others?

In Thailand for sure. Burmese and Indian food incorporate various herbal stimulants.
