Reviews of Phnom Penh Restaurant (Restaurant)

Balint Kertesz

Worst pad Thai I've ever been served. Smelled like a reheated wet dog. We were told it's not their fault that people don't like the food... avoid this place.

This was my favorite restaurant in Kingston before I moved to Toronto 10 years ago, and their #1 dish was spectacular! Unfortunately, over the years they have changed this dish completely. It was decent but the flavors weren't there …

A staple in downtown Kingston for Thai food they still have eat in or take away option the food quality is great the portion size is amazing the flavor is always on point and the staff is super friendly

Really enjoyed the golden chicken.

I had the pad thai, the chicken was raw and elastic and mushy, the noodles were overcooked to the point that they were basically a brick of mushy garbage, and there was very little sauce. It was inedible and I am not very picky. I would rather go to the dollar store and buy a $0.25 pack of instant ramen.

Had the worst food EVER! LEGIT EVER!

I edited this review. 3 months ago I gave 5 stars. Today I only gave 4 stars. Good food and service in general. The Phonm Penh soup is very good as well as Phnom Penh fried rice. The chicken penang this time is tough and this is the reason I only gave 4 stars. 3 months ago the chicken penang was soft and tender. The Beef lemon grass is good but too much green peppers. I am not rating the ambiance. The place is old but I come for the food.

Great little restaurant. The dining area was relatively clean. The sitting area is pretty small and fills up fast. The food was great but one dish was a tad too spicy. There is a good selection of dishes and the prices are reasonable. One negative point is that the kitchen is right adjacent to the dining area like within same room and the cooking doors leave a smell on your clothing. It’s a family business with a hard working couple as owners which makes up for the small dining area and the cooking smell.

The best food! It's a family-owned place which has great food great service. I would highly recommend.

Phnom peng used to be good!, however over the past couple of years I have noticed the quality and taste of their food has went wayyyy down. super bland now adays. I jsut had their tom yum soup and it was quite odd. Check out pat's , cambodiana, royal angkor or cambodian village right beside them

I don't often eat out, but when I do, it's at the Phnom Penh. I always order the golden chicken and the fresh salad rolls with shrimp. Although the ambiance is not one of romance nor is it a trendy place, you'd be hard pressed to find better Cambodian food. The restaurant isn't fancy, but it's clean, the service is quick, and the staff is efficient. Add in that the prices are reasonable, and you have a great place to have a quick and delicious meal. It's definitely a place I recommend.

Have been going to this restaurant for 8 years. Small family restaurant with great Cambodian food! We love their golden chicken and cannot find this amazing taste anywhere else in Ontario. Not even in Toronto or Ottawa. Tips: do not add veggie to any saucy plate. We did that last time and they steam/boil the veggie, so when they add it to the sauce it completely waters it down and dilutes it. We go to this restaurant for the delicious food really and not for service or ambience. if you are looking for something fancy, this is not the place.

Love the 'Golden Chicken'. The chef always changes the spice level to our liking. Among other favourites are spicy fried prawns and red curry. On our every trip to Kingston we make it a point to stop by for lunch or dinner.

We used to be regulars at Phnom-Penh for years but a few years ago we quit dining there when they took the salad rolls off the menu. The restaurant changed owners awhile back and we returned to find not only the menu better than before but the food SO MUCH better than it used to be!!...and salad rolls! Excellent beer choices as well. Excellent service too! Really amazing for the price. Excellent service. Delicious and tasty food with lots of perfume. Quiet ambience as well. Don't miss that one in Kingston!!!

The owners dont mix well with customers

Would give zero stars if it was an option, went here as our other Thai / cambodian restaurant was closed, thought we would try it out,,,,, Asked for a meal for kid that doesn't like spice, they said they had a dish for kids it wasn't spicy..... incorrect, it was spicy, the chicken for the meal was like a rubber ball tossed onto a grill, I had a flavorless chicken stir fry with burnt and or mushy bell peppers and chewey chicken, husband had an equally disappointing pad thai. None of us finished our dinner and we were charged more than the stated amount on their take out menu, very disappointing waste of money and drive downtown, would have preferred a icicle for dinner at least it would tasted like something. ????????????????????

Tayah Cameron

This place was AWFUL. The food is NOT as advertised, the prices online did NOT match the amount I was charged, and the taste was absolutely TERRIBLE!!!! They used spaghetti noodles for the pad Thai and I was genuinely wondering whether I was eating Italian or Thai. We were told that not liking pad Thai was our fault, not theirs, but we are all avid pad-Thai eaters and have truly never experienced anything as disgusting! Avoid at all costs, I can’t believe this has 4 stars. I am in disbelief.

Friendly little restaurant with great Asian fare. Have enjoyed their spicey soups for years and their other offerings ain't shabby. Reasonably priced.

The food was amazing: i strongly recommend the green curry soup, lemongrass beef and golden chicken. We enjoyed so much the flavor combinations of these three dishes. The atmosphere was cozy and the service very nice (FYI: it's a family business). Definitely a must if you stop by Kingston????

The most authentic, delicious Cambodian Thai cuisine you’ll find in Canada. Amazing quality and service! If you’re visiting Kingston this is an absolute must see!

Chris Sampson

This is an affordable place to eat, and serving sizes are on the bigger side. Drinks are affordable, though they were out of the first two juice choices I asked for. The Cambodian rolls were good, made with a flaky pastry unlike other places we've tried in Kingston. Our two main dishes were tasty, but one came with just three little strips of chicken breast, another one or two would have made it great.

Samantha Sugiyama

I love this restaurant, when I was at Queens feeling very homesick and missing good food I used to eat here at least once a week. They were always so nice to me, and I still dream of their golden chicken which I can’t seem to find anywhere else! One of the best curries I’ve ever had.

Jessie Viray

Came here for lunch and I was surprised how good the food is. Will definitely come back and would bring my whole family if I have to. They need to try their food!! So good!!

C M N

Great spot. Awesome location, food is flavourful, generous, and fairly priced. Used to go here lots during university, and was back for the first time in a decade, and it's as good now as it was then.

Zroach !

Online menu pricing different than actual prices, very misleading

Angelo Rajapakse

Poor service and false advertising with the menu and price. Food is bad.????

C Keeler

Tofu Pad Thai didn't have any green onions, peanuts, bean sprouts, etc. It was just under-sauced noodles and tofu. Phanaeng Goong was made without coconut milk, despite what the menu says.

Phan Ouch

Good place to get soup.

Allysa C

The food is always fantastic, and there is always a table. We have dined in and got delivery from this restaurant and have enjoyed it every time. We got one green and one red curry with an order of spring rolls. The spring rolls and crunchy and delicious, the curries were spicy and creamy - just they way they should be. Would recommend for some cambodian food.

nick flemingwood

Great little spot right on King st. The food was fantastic and the extensive menu was a very pleasant surprise. We were a table of 6 and everyone was really pleased with their dish. The soups were outstanding and had just the perfect amount of heat. Highly recommend for a little change to the traditional Thai style menu.

Robert Bell

Love this place. Amazing food great owners. The decor is a little dated but adds to the ambiance. Highly recommended

Batul Kagalwala

Went here for a formal lunch with work mates and had a nice time! The ambience, staff, menu options were very good. Service was quick. We got the spicy tofu, tofu spring rolls and tofu pad Thai and all of them were tasty! The only tiny disappointment was they don't have a dessert menu

henrymcculloch

Such good food. I don't eat in there because of work and it looks a bit old, but don't let the appearance fool you. The food is great. Try the #1 it's delicious if you like curry dishes. Not even super spicy.

Larry L (fortedeluxe)

Came here for a quick lunch with my girlfriend. Place is a bit old and outdated but don't let that fool you on the quality of their food. We ordered green curry and pineapple fried rice and it was some of the best we had!

David Barker

Delicious reasonably priced food

Jessica O

Enjoyed this take-out meal. Picked two of the house specials and was pleasantly surprised at how they were done; special 4 was a nice twist on a common Thai dish with beef and coconut sauce. The special 6 is not for the feint of heart in …
