Monorom Cambodian - Long Beach

This was a nice place for dinner on a chilly Long Beach night. I came here with a friend after failing to find an open Pho spot in the neighborhood. We stumbled upon Monorom and decided on ordering 3 dishes in total: the house fried rice w/chicken, the beef stew noodle, and the shaken beef. My personal favorite was the shaken beef, i liked the sweet and savory flavor and tenderness of the meat. The house fried rice was also a nice dish paired along with the chili sauce which was a little on the spicier side but great flavor. My friend really enjoyed the beef stew rice noodle dish; I enjoyed the rice noodles but expected the dish to be spicier than it was sweet. Still, the stew was full of flavor without excessive saltiness. The proportions were fair for the price; I may be a bit biased because I am used to large servings. (Please note that the pictures included were taken after we had several bites of the dishes).

The food was fantastic, the menu clear and extensive, and the staff polite and attentive. almost entirely southeast Asian families and groups when we were there, which is a great sign. again, the food was spectacular (and cheap, and plentiful! I had Khmer vegetable soup with pork rib, and a Cambodian Angkor beer to wash it down

Went for my first time last night! Loved it! The beef was so good both the Kuyteav Kohr Goh was so yummy, the braised beef very flavorful Loved the Beef Lok Lak also so tasty Loved the cuisine and our waitress was the coolest! Overall fun first visit for all us Midsummer Scream exhibitors! We'll be back soon!

This place may look like a hole in the wall but like they say don't judge the book by its cover. This place is really good next time when I come back to Long Beach I'm coming back.

Tasty, good management, good pricing, I will return. The real deal. I highly recommend this restaurant. This is a very good find.
