What was once a hole-in-the-wall secret in Chinatown is now one of the neighborhood's busiest restaurants. Vancouverites and visitors alike can't get enough of Phnom Penh's Cambodian and Vietnamese eats.
A visit here isn't complete without some of their wings. The deep fried chicken wings are simply prepared but make for a mouthwatering dish. The light and crispy batter keep the wings juicy and the sauteed garlic and green onions add extra flavor. Dip them in the lemon and pepper sauce and you'll see what the big deal is. The marinated butter beef is a dish of thinly sliced, medium rare beef topped with a blanket of cilantro, brown garlic and Phnom Pehn's special sauce. It's tender, tangy and awesome! Don't stop here, Phnom Penh has plenty of other dishes you must try.
