The first question to answer is whether 1)you grew up in America or 2)in Cambodia (or in a first generation Cambodian family). Some dishes taste good to #1. Some dishes taste great to #2 and not to #1.

This is true for practically any ethnic cuisine. If you don't think this is true, I suggest that you try some Marmite on toast and get back to me.

Agreed. I'm a first generation American, family came from Vietnam. I've never been to a Cambodian restaurant but, many of the dishes I see are the same. So #2.

Then you're in for a treat. I'm #1 so my recommendations will not meet your needs.

I’d recommend Heng Lay! Lok Lak for #1, fried pork intestine for # 2. That’s how it works for my wife and I anyways.

Based on experiences with some authentic Korean dishes, I'm reluctant to try some of the dishes that appeal to people who developed a taste for them when they were young. I want to avoid ordering something that I'm unable to eat more than one bite.
