Kamara Los Angeles Reviews
Great small, hidden spot for some authentic home cooked meals. Soup tasted yummy, noodles were cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and prompt. Would come back again and definitely will!
Friendly greeting when we walked in, the menu has a large selection of classic cambodian dishes. If you can't find something to eat here then you have problems. Dry khatiev, kreung, loc lak, bobow... Everything was great, this is another hidden gem and in LA too!
The place is nostalgic. What I envision a good noodle spot would look like and the noodles were on point and hit the spot. This is a hidden gem. Come support!
Modest lunch spot with integrity and stunning food. The chicken porridge was the most flavorful and satisfying comfort food I’ve had in a long time. Fresh leaks, plenty of chicken, lovingly packaged so it would maintain plenty of heat in transit, and surprisingly delicate texture, not too mushy nor too watery! Perfect on a chilly day! I didn’t see any fried green or otherwise tomatoes. So I wonder if those descriptions were actually of the fried leak cakes which I did get and were fantastic! Bursting with freshness, fried but not greasy.
Very traditional Khmer foods. Very yummy, after ate, feel like I am back to my hometown now. Will be back whenever I visit LA.
The wide offerings of Cambodian noodle soups provide a nice alternative to those seeking a little adventure. The beef stew perfumed with star anise was exotic, with the familiarity of egg noodles making the soup all the more comforting. The feel is old school Cambodian diner — red pleather booths, picture menus and Cambodians young and old either quickly getting their fill or spending an afternoon, catching up with friends and having a good laugh.
Hole in the wall, great Cambodian spot! Got the beef egg noodle soup and it was so flavorful and filling.

Incredible food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service that makes for a perfect dining experience from start to finish.
Humble restaurant, exquisite taste. The beef stew with rice noodles was excellent. You can tell this is a local hidden gem based on the customers and the prices. It's tucked away from the busier Chinatown streets but you won't regret it if you like Chinese and Vietnamese style food. Will come back again 🤤
Found ourselves in Chinatown area and after reading the positive reviews about this place, we decided to give it a try, and oh, what a nice surprise. There was plenty of free parking adjacent to the place. We were there on a weekday, so not sure about the weekend parking. The place looks like a whole-in-the-wall mom and pop eatery, and you know you're about to experience some authentic Cambodian foods when you see a bunch of other Cambodians patrons in the restaurant. I ordered the stir-fry beef noodle which is similar to the Chinese chowfun noodle. My partner ordered the chicken lemongrass with rice. The rice dish also comes with a side dish of pork soup. All dishes were delicious and the portion was also generous. The restaurant was full, so it took awhile to get our food, but it's definitely worth the wait and we'll definitely be back!
The food here is always delicious. There's limited seating but it's not usually too crowded. Omg the soup you get with your order is so good! Wish they gave the soup for take out orders too..
I got a tasty shrimp rice dish here that came with a broth on the side that was incredibly delicious - I wasn't expecting that! This place is tucked away a bit in an inelegant arcade of shops and businesses in Chinatown, but it's worth it, because it's in places like those that you often find the best stuff.
Nice, Tuck away small restaurant. Staff/Owner pretty friendly. Food and price on Par with the rest of the restaurant like this! No waiting for the few times we been there, It’s Cambodian/Thai/Chinese kinda food. Parking is free up the hill in the parking structure with security guard. 👌
A true gem, delicious and affordable Phnom Penh noodles 🔥🔥🔥

Found this place out in near Chinatown in LA. It's off the main shopping area. The food here is worth trying out. We ordered the Phnom Penh noodles (combination noodle soup), Beef Fried Rice noodle (stir fried beef), and Beef Lok Lak on fried rice. The food came out pretty quickly and was good. The Lok Lak was prepared differently than what I was used to, but it was pretty good. The stir-fried beef noodles were easy to eat and had good flavors.
It's a Khmer Chinese family run restaurant inside Asian Court. There's street parking and parking lot next to it is $5 all day. The food is good and service is decent for a one person attending to all tables. We were there on a weekday and it was not very busy. It prolly is on weekend though.
The restaurant has feels family run. The young lady that waited on us was very pleasant. The combination "dry" soup was AMAZING! The seafood birds nest was good.
Rice soup noodles is great. Very authentic.

When I was in the USA for a month, I craved noodles badly. This place, Kuy Teav, tastes the same as Kuy Teav in Cambodia. The price is reasonable, and the atmosphere is very nostalgic.
Never mind the wait, never mind how difficult it is to find a parking space. This place is soooo good! Hits the spot all the time. Our favorite Cambodian place in CA, that's for sure. Must try if you love noodles. Just thinking about this place makes me hungry already. Service is always fast too.

Smells funky inside, food didnt taste that good, old hole in the wall place. Super slow service with 1 waitress, and 1 bus boy. Skip...
