Hi my name’s Neri!Proud owner of Angkor Café & Restaurant. A modern Cambodian eatery located on Spencer Street in West Melbourne! Be honest with me here. When you think of Asian cuisine… What pops up in your mind?Chinese? - Vietnamese? - Thai? Cambodian is rarely in that convo, but let me try change that- You seeI was born and raised in Cambodia. Post-war, but the one thing that kept us going… was grandma’s cooking. The unique flavours and special sauces. The tantalising spices of the curries. The fish amok’s and the prahok’s. It was a bonding experience for the family and has stuck with me ever since. When I was a young adult I had the dream of moving to Australia. ‎After years of being here I realised, that the food that I grew up with, Everything I had experienced up to that point, was not readily available in Australia. So Angkor Café & Restaurant was born at the differences in quality & fresh ingredients used introducing Cambodian cuisine to Melbournians just like yourself.

    We were welcomed by an amazing staff that looked after us all evening, was very kind and made sure our dietary restrictions were met. However it was quite loud due to a group of people next to us, did dim down our experience, it would've been highly suggested for future customers that are not respecting other people's experience to be told to maintain the volume, food was great oysters could've definitely had less salt and the noodles were a little less undercooked and tasted quite bland, star of the show was definitely the EDAMAME! we loved the chicken curry so much as well and the ambience and vibe was amazing as well, really loved the little coat hangers in the front it was a nice touch.
