Wow. Amazing food. #12 pictured here was a tasty green curry with just the right balance of flavour and heat. Veggies perfectly al dente and generous portions of chicken which was so tender. Food came quickly with great service and at a very competitive price. Highly recommend.

Their Phnom Pehn soup is one of the most delicious South East Asian soups I’ve tried. Paired with white rice, it’s big enough for two people. Recommend this place.

Fantastic takeout for my birthday. Pad thai, golden peanuty chicken, ginger beef, bbq pork with noodles. All very flavourful, makes you say Oh Wow! Great friendly service also.

Veggies weren't fresh. Spring rolls were tasteless. Pad Thai sauce was obviously from a bottle and not homemade. Pretty disappointing and expensive

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Kingston. The place was empty but figured it was worth a try. Spring rolls tasted very rotten which ruined the experience. Didn’t bother with the rest of the food since I just wanted to leave.

Irritated to waste money on this place. Over priced for the 'quality' food we got.

Fantastic food at great prices.
Try the Phnom Penh soup. It's Spicy but amazing.

This was one of the worst take out meals I have gotten. The pad Thai was just a pile of noodles with barely any sauce. The red curry was extremely small and underwhelming

Went there on Saturday, April 1st 2023 at around 7pm. Atmosphere was just the way we like it: quiet and peaceful. We had special #1 and special #4. I was amazed at how much protein was served, most restaurants skimp out on the protein. Slightly bland marinades, but that's great for the sodium conscious folks. Pricing was fair for what we got. Would go again!

I had a #2 chicken coriander and it was extremely good. I would recommend it. It has a very spicy sauce but it's very mild and delicious and the fresh pineapple bites provide a great balance with the coriander and the rest of the dish.
Unfortunately, one bite of the chicken in my wife's pad thai was very underdone and near raw. She kept talking about how better the competitor's pad thais were. But most of her meal appeared well-cooked, satisfactory, but she seemed disappointed in it because she enjoys pad-thais.
When I got to the bathroom it was appauling how old and neglected the men's bathroom looked. I saw a woman who was sitting there near the cash for my whole visit doing nothing so I could not reconcile the dirty bathroom. This can be a huge red flag for a customer.
Nevertheless, if my dish and appetizer didn't turn out tasting and satisfying me so well then I would have given this place a 2 star. More love and effort is needed with this place. A little more effort will definitely go a long way.

Phnom Penh hasn't changed in 15 years. The portions are not smaller, the taste is as great as ever. I missed it.

Phenom phen? Not phenomenonal.
If you're looking for good Canadian Asian food (Cambodian/Thai), just don't come here. Really, spend your money elsewhere (especially if you're accustomed to Toronto Asian food).
Got #1. Curry itself was good, but for $17, three 3-3.5" long, 1-1.5" wide chicken breasts with a heaping of rice felt like I'd been cheaped out on. Doesn't curry usually come with.vegatables? More? Just.something more? I feel we're missing the act of.cooking?
Friend ordered something that was not Pad Thai, or at least in any way I've seen it. It was for sure rice noodle with green onion, tofu and soy sauce in it. Not much else. Tofu was good. It was mostly filler. I was not fulfilled.
Head to Thai House up the street, or the Wok In Restaurant if you catch em on an open day.
There's a lot more quality Asian food in Kingston now, you don't need to settle for this anymore.

First of all, the service here is good. However, It's not Asian food and the chife didn't try to make an acceptable presentation. Being in Canada many years, I have accepted the taste of the Asian restaurants here are not authentic, but at least they will chop the chicken breast into pieces and put some veggies aside. Here I don't see a good cooking attitude.

Good service but, I can’t say I like the food…
Pad thai was soggy, overall tasteless, but probably has too much vinegar and sugar.

Great little hole in the wall spot in the heart of downtown. Plenty of dishes to choose from and very delicious. Nice family run business and friendly service.
