The meat is always tender and serving generous. Great for kids my 8 year old says she can eat all day every day.
MY CAMBODIAN is a 4 1/2 star shop front casual restaurant which serves up a mixture of food from Cambodia, Thai and Vietnam.
The service is typical of many Asian restaurants were you raise your hand or grab the attention of the staff to order or if you desire anything - all staff were friendly and happy to assist with extra tea, water, containers, drinks etc.
The restaurant restroom was a combined storage toilet and was clean and offered all necessary items.
The group of 14 ate lots of dishes-
Cubed beef no.25 $19- a must try as the beef was so tender and the dipping sauce full of peppery flavour.
Vietnamese seafood pancake no.54 $15 was huge, served with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, mint and an amazing nutty sauce that is to die for.
Spicy chicken ribs no.96 $18 was well worth the money, served with chili, spring onion and garlic- very morish.
Spicy beef sausages no.99 $13 that are similar to Thai beef sausages yet not as spicy (actually they were very mild which was fine and a coarse texture). They were served with delicious pickled cabbage, carrot and cucumber yummy that complimented the sausage well.
We also had Salted fish fried rice no.14 $10 that was eaten alone and used to soak up any remaining sauces. The fish rice itself as a stand alone dish needed more salted fish or soya sauce to add to the true nature of the dish.
Prawn spring rolls and Vietnamese rice paper rolls were also eaten consisting of fresh noodles and herbs. Both were pretty standard yet the accompanying sauces made them stand above the stand dish.
With smiling faces, realistic prices and decent servings, this is definitely a restaurant to try.
Booking recommended.
loved the Phnom Penh noodles. Will be back to try other dishes. Service was acceptable during off peak hours.
Should not be mopping the floor whilst customers are eating.
Amazing food and service! We had the Cambodian noodle and Vietnamese pancake, portions were very fulfilling and tastes authentic too. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes
Points For: authenticity, value
The Phnom Penh Noodle soup is pork and shrimp based, and you can have it with soup or dry. I haven't introduced this to any of my friends who didn't love it. The spring onion, coriander and minced pork work so well together, and it's just a comforting dish.
For more banquet dining, the beef lemongrass soup is traditional, which has tender beef, tripe and morning glory. The flavour is beefy and a little sour.
Can't go wrong with the spicy chicken spare ribs as well, which is essentially fried chicken with chilli, garlic and spring onion.
Pippies with Thai basil, garlic and soy/oyster sauce goes very well with rice.
The rare beef salad is also traditional, with thin strip of lean beef quickly blanched and tossed in a lemon, mustard and lemongrass dressing.
The spicy beef sausages are deliciously moreish (sorry for using that term), but it’s herby, mild, savory with little bits of beef and fat. The casing pops on bite.
The restaurant can get surprisingly hectic during peak times, with both expats wanting an easy homely meal, and Westerners chasing that experience they had that one time they travelled Cambodia.
Well recommended for something different, delicious and good value.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and pricing of the food here. It was a busy Sunday morning when I visited My Cambodia. Service was warm and friendly. The menus were full of photos of their dishes which made it easy to order.
We had the Phnom Penh noodles - one dry and one soup. The noodle soup was outstanding. It was chock full of meats and the thin rice noodles were cooked perfectly. The broth was low in MSG but high in tastiness. Unfortunately the dry version was disappointingly dry and had to be drenched in soup. But for $9 a bowl, I really shouldn't be complaining!
I will definitely be making My Cambodia a regular haunt from now on!
We came here to eat as we have always walked past but never gone inside
The place was packed and I was excited ! I was really sad that I was unable to try the beef noodle soup however the Phnom Penh was some of the best I’ve ever tried ! We also got the spring rolls which was ok- literally prawn wrapped in pastry and deep fried and I got the Cambodian soup with ribs - this was a very acquired taste which I am still on the Fence about
My Cambodia’s menu has a little bit of Cambodian, Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai influence. This ticks all the boxes of “let’s have something Asian tonight”. From stir fry to noodles and soup, My Cambodia serves up a storm of flavours. The only average dish I had was the Crab Fried Rice (it wasn’t fluffy and lacked in “wokhei”).
Highlights: Shaking beef and lemongrass beef soup
It was risky choosing to go here as a vegetarian. But I haven't eaten much Cambodian food and felt I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try some in Springvale. There are close to no naturally veg options on the menu, but our waitress advised they could remove meat from some dishes. We opted for the stir-fried rice drop noodles (served with a fried egg instead of meat) as our main starch. The noodles were thick and chewy and didn't have tons of flavour, but we're served with a sweet and slightly vinegary sauce. I'm sure the lack of meat was also responsible for the lack in flavour. But an accompaniment of tofu (sans minced pork) made up for it. It was served with a sauce that reminded me of a rich Japanese curry. The only disappointing dish was the papaya salad, which was chock full of seafood. At worst I've had some similar dishes before with a few dried prawns on top that I could pick around, but this was filled with dried and fresh prawns, fish sauce and little crab arms. It might be nice if you like seafood, but unfortunately it was a pass for me. Vegetarians should be wary when ordering here, but I still very much believe it's worth a try regardless of your dietary persuasion.
My Cambodia looked busy from the outside so we thought why not check it out. Heaps of options of food! A really good menu. The food delivered was quite authentic and full of flavour
The rice noodles soup here is so authentic and beautiful. Not a fancy restaurant but food is amazing with cheap price too. Highly recommended.
Not a fancy restaurant
Ordered #1 and #4, amazing!
Also tried the bitter salad, it turned out to be quite refreshing, but really bitter
Phnom Penh noodles are good and authentic as expected, and at just $12 per bowl - it represents great value compared to Pho which is slowly approaching $20/bowl now in Melbourne.
Will be back to try some other dishes.
Great food, never been to Cambodian but you can feel it here
My friend Intro me to this place. his Cambodian Chinese and told me this place makes one of the best Broken rice dish in springvale. I also love to share this place with you guys . hope u enjoy this nice Asian restaurant.
The Cambodian noodle really tastes like Penang koay teow teng. Price is very reasonable.
This is a gem. The food variety and taste is really authentic and of good quality. And at very reasonable prices too. We are regular here thus the five star rating. Highly recommended.
I went there with my family, trying out different Asian foods and found this little hidden gem. The people are great and food are authentic and cheap!
