Editorial Review

Don’t let the bright yellow paint or the forest of faux flowers distract from the excellent Cambodian cooking. Siam Delight finds juicy sautéed shrimp bathed in tart tamarind-chili sauce and topped with roasted rice powder and Thai basil. Kako Khmer is an exotic green curry of chicken, eggplant, long beans, green papaya and jackfruit in a rich coconut gravy perfumed with kaffir lime. Dishes are moderately spiced, but beware of lurking green chilies—they’re lethal. Unlicensed.
