   Several friends had praised the vegetarian options at Khamai. Our experience was good, but not outstanding. Both service and food felt fair for the price, and the ambiance was pleasant. A good night out, but nothing more than that.

   The food and cocktails were amazing. I was in Cambodia a month ago and it seemed very similar to some of the better dishes I had.

   Good food, excellent service. I had a mango cocktail which was better than I expected. The egg rolls were quite good. My date and I split a wide noodle dish with shrimp that I liked a lot. Dessert was good. Our server was very nice.

   My daughter recommended this restaurant after dining a couple of weeks ago. We ordered her favorites and tried something new too. Everything was delicious and the menu has many choices for meat eaters, pescatarian, and even vegan diners. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the commitment to using Cambodian language for a cultural affect, always quickly translated of course.

   Besides the dinner, which was truly phenomenal, the service was outstanding. Dakota, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and could not have been more friendly. He was training a new server, and he set a wonderful example for the new employee. This is was my second meal at this establishment, and it certainly won't be my last. I will recommend this wonderful restaurant to everyone I know! Mark Alan Ursa

    Outstanding. Great food and atmosphere. This was our first visit. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation time, but once seated everything exceeded our expectations. Attentive service, Food had unique flavors, not exactly Vietnamese, Thai, or Malay. For starters, extremely tasty egg rolls (with ground chicken) and marinated grilled skirt steak skewers. The "small plates" were still shareable -- we enjoyed the grilled ribeye and the shredded mango salad with crispy fried tilapia, plus the bigger "share plate" of pan-fried wide noodles with chicken. Topped it all off with house-made lychee ice cream (with chunks of lychee).
