Food was really good! We had a few of the vegetarian entrees, the spring rolls and a side of French fries and enjoyed everything. Service was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Such a solid dinner spot from a dinner date to double date or even solo bar experience. The food and service never miss. Mocktails and cocktails are incredibly fresh and exciting. The Sanghkia Pao dessert consistently brings a smile to my face. I'm thrilled it's starting to get busy even on weeknights, so don't forget to book a resy or come before the 630p rush!

I love this place, it's a bit off the beaten path in the Boston area however the trek is worth it. My favorite thing was the Nataing. It is a must have because it is so buttery and the traces of coconut are wonderful. The service is great and the restaurant is nice inside.

Never had French Cambodian fusion cuisine before so this was quite the surprise! Parking can be tricky during peak hours so be mindful of that. Item prices are as of 10/2024: Khar Saiko Kroeung - $32 - The short ribs were extremely tender and delicate in flavor. The sauce and noodles were perfectly prepared and complimented each other well. Magret de Canard Poêlé - $37 - If you enjoy duck then you'll enjoy this dish. The duck breast was a bit firm but the flavor was phenomenal. I also really enjoy pears so this was a perfect match for me. Rouleaux - $15 - Delicious! The dipping sauce was very tasty. I would order this again!

Really happy about dinner here. Was at SOWA for Holiday fair and walked here. We haven't spent much time in the south end and glad we made the effort to have dinner here. Many options around, heard good things about this place and saw availability on open table. Got seated quickly and service was very good. Place has a good vibe to it, got crowded when we left. I'd go back.

Very friendly staff. Very cute ambience perfect for a date night. Most importantly delicious food with good portions. Highly recommend. I will definitely be coming back! Chilled Avocado Citrus Soup- like an elevated sweet and sour soup. orange juice adds a nice sweetness and a light tartness and the lime juice adds a nice zing. Very refreshing. The hearty amount of avocado adds a nice texture. I added a little hot sauce they provide which gave it a little heart and worked very well. 4/5 Porc Diplomat- generous portion of perfectly cooked and tender pork marinated in soy. Covered in a hearty sauce of coconut milk, black pepper, and garlic. The coconut as a nice creaminess and sweetness, where the pepper and garlic added a good savoriness. The rice seemed to have some lemon grass in it and added a nice flavor. The bok choy has an amazing soy and ginger dressing. So delicious. 5/5 Le Péché au Chocolat- dense decadent chocolate cake. Very taste. Added a scoop of pistachio ice cream which was also good. 5/5

So I have mixed feelings about this place. I had been eyeing their rolls after seeing the photos. I grew up with an amazing Vietnamese restaurant that had fried spring rolls made with the rice paper, where the skin was fried to a bubbly perfection. So I was looking forward to trying these. Although I later realized that these were more like the wonton skins instead of rice paper, so it was a bit thick, but overall it was served with a good amount of lettuce, veggies and tart dipping sauce. I would have loved it more with a rice paper skin, but this was still delicious. The man who took my order at the bar was also very considerate about suggesting I order a partial order of 2 or 3 rolls since the full order of 5 would be a lot for one person, I will say, I was was warned before coming here that it is more fusion and Americanized Asian than authentic Cambodian. And the curry definitely said that. First, I do appreciate that they had a lovely vegan curry option which was a thick yellow coconut curry with lots of pumpkin and other veggies. This was a nice change to the usual curries. The only bummer was that there was some gross hair in the plate and when I brought it up, the bartender proceeded to take a knife and dig through my plate to confirm if it was hair or not. It was very obviously a short curly strand of female hair that was bleached as you can see the transition from black to blonde. They did assure me that the man in the back for this station had a hair net, but from the hair it looks more like it is from the lady serving the food. Either way, it does make me cringe thinking about the details. That aside, they did eventually make me a new plate which by that point I wanted to cancel but proceeded to have it since they placed the order. The lychee drink was a nice virgin cocktail, a tad sweet but quite refreshing. Overall, while the food is more fusion than traditional Cambodian, this is still a nice bar and dinner spot for people to gather in the south end. The dishes were also well thought out and plated, so it's still worth coming to try.

Very delicious food! I forgot to take pictures of the other things we ordered because we were too busy eating. The lychee lemonade was such a good drink, it tasted more like lychee and less lemon, which I loved the service was fast, professional, and warm, great restaurant for a dinner out, a date, whatever!

: 9/10 Perfectly pan-seared scallops, adored with a delicate champagne tarragon cream sauce juxtaposed harmoniously with zesty notes. The leak and spinach polenta acted as a nice, savory base that perfectly soaked up the luscious sauce. Finally, the Emily mushrooms added a crunchy and pleasant texture to an overall well-rounded French dish! : 9.1/10 From the Cambodian menu, this dish was a delightful twist on the French classic, beef bourguignon. Tender, boneless beef short ribs braised in a balanced blend of tangy, sweet tamarind, ginger, chili, and soy. The noodles were wonderfully chewy, and the pickled cucumbers acted as the perfect palette cleanser! é : 8/10 Crispy dumplings with a savory minced pork filling. Lemongrass added a subtle tank to the pork, and the wild lime leaves gave a slightly sweet and floral note. Served alongside sesame hoisin dipping sauce and cucumber pickles, this was definitely a great starter to the meal! A Cambodian and French fusion restaurant; now there's something you don't see everyday. But, I was delighted that @elephantwalksouthend executes both cuisines perfectly! Each dish stayed true to their respective region and did not hold back on flavor. I highly doubt recommend going with a friend to experience both region's cuisine and get the full picture of what makes this restaurant so good! Is a bit pricey? Sure, but isn't all French food that way? The inside was very cute and cozy, really emulating casual fine dining vibes.
