After reading Nate's entry about Angkor, I decided I needed to eat there ASAP. We made a trip there after doing some shopping out at Robinson this afternoon.
My first impression as we pulled up to the place was one of slight disappointment, to be honest. The restaurant is located in a strip of a handful of other businesses and it didn't look that impressive from the outside. It really just looked like a run-of-the-mill quickie restaurant.
When we went in, though, my thoughts changed. Angkor is decorated quite nicely, and has a lot of interesting Asian inspired art and sculptures. The tabletops are glass with white tablecloths. The prices, however, are very fair. I don't think any of the lunch entrees were more than $6.50, and that included a bowl of soup and a vegetable spring roll.
Like Nate mentioned, each of their variety of Thai and Cambodian dishes can be made vegetarian, or you can get them with your choice of meat. I decided on the vegetarian Phad Thai with tofu with Lemon Grass Soup. We also got an order of crispy tofu triangles as an appetizer, which were really just excellent. They were batter dipped and crunchy and just mmm! Everything else I had was also excellent. The entree portion wasn't too huge, but big enough that I had enough to take a small box home of leftovers.
At about $20 for all the food we got (two entrees, two bowls of soup, two spring rolls, and an appetizer), I have to say this place is a great deal. I only wish it was closer to where I live so I could go here more often. Nate mentioned that he thinks the owners also run a restaurant called Phnom Penh downtown, so I'll have to check it out sometime. If it is half as tasty as Angkor, it will be worth it!
