Their food is fantastic: the salmon, either grilled with veggies or in a red sauce with broccoli is superb, as is their vegetarian friend rice and their crab fried rice (and the broth they serve at lunch, and myriad other dishes). Also, the servers are all super nice and helpful. An amazing occurrence tells you about the kind of people at Battambang: once I left my wallet there, and they sent folks to DRIVE TO MY HOUSE (quite a long way) to return it so I wouldn 't have even a moment 's panic. Pretty incredible ... as is in case I haven 't mentioned it the food. An Oakland culinary treasure!

The food was all fresh and flavourful, and their smoked eggplant dish is hands down my favourite. The service is friendly and fast. The restaurant is a pretty cozy spot and is fairly small on the inside. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking this place out! Service: Dine in Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5

I was welcomed by the wonderful owner, who clearly puts so much love and care into her restaurant and her food! I highly recommend the soup—I had the tamarind soup with catfish and prawns, and my friend swears by the lemongrass soup with catfish. You can’t beat this fresh, delicious, home style Cambodian cooking and welcoming atmosphere! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Be sure to try the Battambang noodles and the mango sticky rice; you will not be disappointed.
