Phnom Penh Travel - Lowell

My first time here, i got the loclac, the beef had a nice grilled flavor while the rice was fresh and flavorful.. I will definitely be back¡¡

This place is so good, I love Hu Tieu Nam Vang and the customer service was awesome, My friends and I are Vietnamese so we couldn't understand Cambodian but the Cambodian staff tried his best to speak Vietnamese to us and we totally understand what he said and we got our food came out as we expect it to be! Prices are so affordable. We will come back and this is my 8th time eating here.

It was a cold and rainy day and we were looking for some good Cambodian food in Lowell, MA. Unfortunately the parking was very limited and the store front had no awning to protect us from the cold rain. We walked in and there were lots of people eating soups and rice porridge known to many as congee. We did not go that direction when we ordered. So my wife is Cambodian who speaks Khmer but can 't read it. The menu seemed like a loose translation of the dish but lost the essence of the dish like chicken and vegetables. Not sure how that was Cambodian. So we went with what we eat at my mother in laws house, beef sticks which they call beef teriyaki, pork stir fried noodles which they call chow Foon, and my daughter 's favorite dish beef and bahok which they called beef filet with spicy sauce. The beef sticks were delicious and it came with a side of pickled vegetables. It has a light seasoning of lemongrass which I like since I don 't like too much lemongrass though my wife does. I, my wife and 3 year old son enjoyed them. Keep in mind it does not come with rice so you have to ask for rice if you 're just eating the beef sticks. Next came the noodles. It reminded us of Chinese noodles. We didn 't taste any Cambodian influence on it, it was only ok. The final test was the beef and bahok. It came out in a big platter with lots of fresh veggies. The bahok had no spice but it was still tasty. The beef was tough and chewy. We have high standards because my mother in law is a great cook but we still expected a bit more from Lowell restaurant. We will try a different Cambodian restaurant next time to see how it measures up to this place and home cooking. My 7 year old daughter really enjoyed the beef and bahok but it wasn 't as good as our home cooking.

I will share your business with friends and families. Have a great day!

With so many Cambodian restaurants in Lowell serving what is basically the same food with varying degrees of flavor it was interesting to visit this spot considering how popular it is with the locals. They serve a healthy portion of food for a very reasonable price, where they fall short is the flavor. The taste coming from the kitchen feels very commercial and lacks that family feel you get at Mekong Restaurant or Peephuptmei Restaurant
