My Cambodia - City of Knox

The best diced beef with rice in springvale town. This dish is served with lemon and pepper sauce on the side. Dip the beef in the sauce and grab the zesty...

I was craving khmer food and this place hit the spot so if you want some bomb cambo food come here and you will not regret

MY CAMBODIAN is a 4 1/2 star shop front casual restaurant which serves up a mixture of food from Cambodia, Thai and Vietnam.<br/ <br/ The service is typical of many Asian restaurants were you raise your hand or grab the attention of the staff to order or if you desire anything all staff were friendly and happy to assist with extra tea, water, containers, drinks etc.<br/ <br/ The restaurant restroom was a combined storage toilet and was clean and offered all necessary items.<br/ <br/ The group of 14 ate lots of dishes <br/ <br/ Cubed beef no.25 $19 a must try as the beef was so tender and the dipping sauce full of peppery flavour.<br/ <br/ Vietnamese seafood pancake no.54 $15 was huge, served with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, mint and an amazing nutty sauce that is to die for.<br/ <br/ Spicy chicken ribs no.96 $18 was well worth the money, served with chili, spring onion and garlic very morish.<br/ <br/ Spicy beef sausages no.99 $13 that are similar to Thai beef sausages yet not as spicy (actually they were very mild which was fine and a coarse texture). They were served with delicious pickled cabbage, carrot and cucumber yummy that complimented the sausage well.<br/ <br/ We also had Salted fish fried rice no.14 $10 that was eaten alone and used to soak up any remaining sauces. The fish rice itself as a stand alone dish needed more salted fish or soya sauce to add to the true nature of the dish.<br/ <br/ Prawn spring rolls and Vietnamese rice paper rolls were also eaten consisting of fresh noodles and herbs. Both were pretty standard yet the accompanying sauces made them stand above the stand dish.<br/ <br/ With smiling faces, realistic prices and decent servings, this is definitely a restaurant to try.<br/ <br/ Booking recommended.

Loved the Phnom Penh noodles. Will be back to try other dishes. Service was acceptable during off peak hours.Should not be mopping the floor whilst customers are eating.

Points For: authenticity, value<br/ <br/ The Phnom Penh Noodle soup is pork and shrimp based, and you can have it with soup or dry. I haven't introduced this to any of my friends who didn't love it. The spring onion, coriander and minced pork work so well together, and it's just a comforting dish.<br/ <br/ For more banquet dining, the beef lemongrass soup is traditional, which has tender beef, tripe and morning glory. The flavour is beefy and a little sour. <br/ <br/ Can't go wrong with the spicy chicken spare ribs as well, which is essentially fried chicken with chilli, garlic and spring onion. <br/ <br/ Pippies with Thai basil, garlic and soy/oyster sauce goes very well with rice.<br/ <br/ The rare beef salad is also traditional, with thin strip of lean beef quickly blanched and tossed in a lemon, mustard and lemongrass dressing.<br/ <br/ The spicy beef sausages are deliciously moreish (sorry for using that term), but it’s herby, mild, savory with little bits of beef and fat. The casing pops on bite.<br/ <br/ The restaurant can get surprisingly hectic during peak times, with both expats wanting an easy homely meal, and Westerners chasing that experience they had that one time they travelled Cambodia.<br/ <br/ Well recommended for something different, delicious and good value.
