Angkor Borei - San Francisco

A gateway to a different world, with good food included. The interior is magical. Our server was an affable lady, she was amazing and very kind. For food, we ordered a squash curry (yes, there is such a thing) and a remarkable salad. Planning to come here again, for the staff, food, and the atmosphere.

We came as a group of 7. Ordered 6 dishes to share. I enjoyed the fish bake in banana leaves, the fry fish and a eggplant dish. We also had chili chicken, a beef stir fry dish; these latter two dishes were all right. The portion sizes were smaller than expected. There's street parking only, the service was quick and great.

I ordered the Pumpkin Curry and the Pan Fried Fish Fillet with Garlic Fish Sauce. I absolutely loved both dishes; they were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The vegetarian crepe was intriguing as it contained some sweet coconut shavings mixed in.

I would say this is one of the hidden gems. Good food and friendly staff. We ordered two curry dishes, 1 spinach wrap (which was quite nice, my favorite), 1 steamed fish egg dish (forgot the name), and 1 fried rice with shrimp. It was great for 5 ppl. I never had Cambodian food so it was a great first experience. We went early like 17:30 and was able to get a table without a problem. Make a reservation in advance if you can. I would like to try other dishes in the future.

Good taste like Khmer food. The taste of food and how the food look might be similar to Thai food a little bit since Angkor Borei restaurant run by husband and wife which man is from Thailand and lady is from Cambodia. The lady who runs this business is sweet and caring. The way she treats me is recapped me of how my grandma loves me. It’s kind of similar being in a Cambodian family’s home. She is not only friendly to Cambodian people as I check google review before coming here. Brilliant menu choice, the staffs are willing to help you choose which food to eat if you don’t know what to eat. The dishes that I try are Amok fish, Brohok ktizz, Sach Ko Ang and Mju Krerng. If you want it, just tell her, she will understand it, especially get the Amok Fish due it’s delicious and very authentic. The food proportion might a bit small for American. Every food here is delicious. I can’t say enough good thing about this restaurant. This place is absolutely valuing my trip. Thank you for reading my review, I hope it can help. May enjoy the yummy and fresh food there.
