A Cambodian restaurant at 99 Dixon Street in Te Aro, Wellington, near the corner of Willis Street, cooking since 2007. The website describes its food as traditional Khmer cooking made from home recipes, with influences from Thailand and Vietnam. It draws on fish and seafood, pork and chicken, plenty of fresh greens, and herbs such as lemongrass, turmeric and kreang curry paste. The website says the food is milder than Thai, with a mix of sour, salty and spicy flavours. Dishes listed include braised pork belly in a steamed bao bun, prawns with mango and lemon garlic sauce, and pan-fried pork, vegan and chicken dumplings.
The restaurant is open for dinner and drinks from 5pm until late, Tuesday to Saturday, and is closed on Sunday and Monday. The website advises booking ahead because evenings get full, and bookings can be made by phone, email or online. Corporate groups and parties of five or more can choose one of two set banquet-style menus. The restaurant is fully licensed, with mainly New Zealand wines, beers and cocktail specials. Takeaway is available, with 10 per cent off for customers who collect their order in person. Delivery is offered through delivereasy across Wellington, and through Uber Eats. The website quotes no customer comments, so there is no view here on what diners say.
