We ate here after wandering around for a bit and are very glad we found it. Such friendly people running it. Our French is not good and the lady (who was also doing the cooking) brought us a menu with pictures on it. The guy...running front of house called his English speaking friend over to explain some of the items to us as well. We had two beef dishes, as he said that was the best choice. One with noodles and one with rice, along with some pickled veg and spring rolls to start. It was all lovely. Very tasty and cooked right there in the open kitchen. I have bookmarked it for next time we come to Bordeaux. The only issue for some might be access to the toilets - they are down a flight of narrow spiral stairs. Old buildings are not always accommodating!More

We were lucky to get a table on a Saturday night as it's not a very big venue. Wine was lovely - to be expected in Bordeaux - but the food was really tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. It is just the...2 people working there so we had to wait a bit - was so worth it - really fresh and tasty. would definitely go back. merci beaucoupMore

Went here for lunch. It is a very small place and I can imagine it being very busy at times. The problem. We don't speak French or Cambodian and there are no English menus and the lady serving (Mum?) had no English. The solution. Look...at pictures in the menu, and try and decipher. The result. Not sure what we ordered but when it came it was flipping delicious. Simliar toThai but less salty ( I would describe it as being mellow). We had spring rolls betweed us to start. Wife than had a sort of warm salad with vermilcelli and 7 very nice prawns. I had some wide noodles with beef and broccoli and a type of hoi sin sauce but not as strong. Anyway both were delicious. How anyone can say this place is expensive is beyond me. Average price for mains 10-12 euros. I can imagine service may be a bit slow at busy time as there only seem to be Mum and the cook (her son?). Anyway if you fancy something a bit different whilst in Bordeaux I would certainly recommend it.More

I do hate to give this place a bad review because the owners are very nice and hard working. The atmosphere and cleanliness are also very good. I felt the food just wasn't that well prepared and tasteful. I thought it was also a bit...overpriced for lunch.More

Thursday 22h my husband and I were looking for a place to eat in the center of Bordeaux. We found this place taking to account TripAdvisor comments and we weren’t disappointed!!! Small, family restaurant what doesn’t look attractive from outside but inside there is kind...and lovely service, excellent food. We took noodles, fried rice and nems for starters. Everything was done in-front of our eyes in a fast way. Highly recommend!!!More

Family held restaurant, with tasty simple food. Quantity is generous. Good atmosphere, a mix of solo guests, friends and families in a quite small surface. I loved it.

I appreciated that they had a vegan dish on the menu. I wish they had more vegan options, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?! The waiter was incredibly polite and spoke very good English. He was very pleasant---a great change of pace from the...rude waiters and customer service in Paris. Overall, the vegan dish was OK. However, the customer service was excellent!More

We were looking for a restaurant for dinner in Bordeaux on a short day trip. Trip advisor came through - this place is family friendly, inexpensive, causal, and most important of all, the food is fantastic! My wife’s family is Cambodian and this was a...great, unexpected find. The food is very authentic (tasted like my father-in-law’s) and delicious. Service was warm and kind. The location is right in the heart of Saint Pierre, not far from the water mirror or any of the other main sites. Locals were flowing in and out, especially for take out, which is always a good sign. Highly recommended. Don’t be scared if you haven’t tried Cambodian good before, try the Lok Lak, kutiew tcha, spring rolls, pho, and enjoy. We had a ton of food not one bad bite.More
