Phnom Penh – Chinatown, Vancouver, BC

Phnom Penh
Chinatown, Vancouver, BC

I heard about Phnom Penh through a friend and she told me it was always busy.
She told me go for the crispy garlic wings and stay for the butter beef – and that’s exactly what I did.
I went with some family I have in Vancouver and got there early as I thought I’d be smart and beat the rush. There was no such luck, it was packed with a line out the door, our wait was 25 minutes and by the time we sat down the wait was 45.

Thanking my lucky stars that we had a table I wasted no time ordering, we grabbed the crispy chicken wings, the butter beef and the fried shrimp that were done similarly to the chicken wings.

The wings were crisp and garlicky and the shrimp were plump battered lightly.

The butter beef was great, luscious beef that was very tender and served with great sauces.

Definitely worth the wait, try booking ahead to avoid the line but definitely order those dishes.
