    Parking was easy at the front of the restaurant. The restaurant looked clean and organized. There were enough waiters working so ordering and getting the food were done smoothly. We ordered spring rolls with shrimp and crispy chicken wings as appetizers. Both were excellent. For main dishes, we ordered noodle soup, fried rice and flat noodles. I don’t remember the exact name of foods because it was Cambodian names. All was great. Especially we liked the fried rice. The price was little higher comparing other asian restaurant in the area, but I didn’t mind because the food were all good. I recommend this place if you want to experience authentic Cambodian cuisine.

    Everything about this place was great. The traditional decor, the smell of the food, the service, the food itself! I've had Cambodian food before but it's been years. First time having their traditional soup and it was so delicious. Ordered and app with wings and papaya salad. I honestly didn't like the salad but I can see why they do. It was just a little too cold and spicy for me. The wings were perfectly crisp and coated with sauce. The egg with fried and and beef was 😘.

    Triple combo is one of my favorite: papaya salad with wings and sticky rice. We also got Chakrong with fried rice and fried egg on top. Mee Katang is also not bad. Food seems to be reasonably priced but drinks are WAY overpriced.. iced tea or iced coffee for like $8 a glass is insane.

    What a disappointment. The food is what you'll expect from a okay food truck. Not from a sit down resturant. And the prices don't justify the food quality nor the atmosphere. The Luc Lak is okay. But nothing memorable. And definitely not worth the $20-$25 price tag. Milk shakes are fine. Pad Thai is disappointing. All in all, a waste of money. If the prices were reasonable for what they offer, could have give a better rating.

    We had a fantastic dining experience at Simply Khemer for lunch today. The vegetable spring rolls and crispy quail wings made for delicious starters, and the lemongrass chicken and loc lac were excellent entrees. The food was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Additionally, the staff and environment were very friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. I would love to recommend Simply Khemer to anyone looking for authentic Cambodian cuisine 😍❤️

    Beautiful place, clean, and prompt service. Beef sticks came out amazing and tender. The steak tips with the fried egg was perfect! Would totally come back again!

    Fantastic delicious food! Huge portions. Relaxed and unpretentious, but good enough that they would be well within their rights to be. The best restaurant I've ever eaten at in many, many years of eating out.

    The restaurant is very homely and neat. They have a great selection of authentic Cambodian dishes. The Khmer curry was really so soothing after a long day! The portion sizes are very generous and I was happy that I had leftovers to enjoy! I live 40 miles from this restaurant, but I'll be sure to come back soon to try more off their menu! I'd highly recommend this restaurant!

    In a word, they rocked. The chef came out to discuss what he could do to make the dish more tolerable for my sister, who has a seafood allergy. They were helpful, patient, and took their time answering all of my questions. Everything cooked to perfection. The service was the greatest I've had in a long time; I haven't experienced anything like it since a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris.

    First experience with friends. The food was fair but some weren't good. The chicken wings were just plain and needed well done. 2 dishes we like are Amok Seafood and Mee Ka-Tahng. The waitress and service was lacking in the service mind and she wanted to explain how big the fish that we ordered but please don't talk over the foods. I don't know maybe today wasn't our day. 🥴 Please note that about tip was automatically 20% with no options or asking. Honestly I always tips more than 20% but this place I don't think so. Updated after getting a replied from the SK team ; Thank you for clarifying. You charged 20% of tips for parties over 5 and we are 3 adults and 2yo girl and 6mo girl. Seriously!

    We had an amazing meal. The manager Xavier went out the way to share about the food, the Cambodian culture and the music. The meal was fantastic! We will be back 🙂🙂

    It’s been well over a year since I worked in Lowell and I was overjoyed that this restaurant was only a mile away. Delicious food especially as a blizzard is barreling down on us. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Reassured me about my food allergy. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Renée Renata B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food! Similar yet different than Thai (which we love) so, was nice to have a different take. Portions are big, and flavorful, but really it was the staff who immediately made us feel at home which will be what remember. We hit it off with Xavier the owners son, from the get go, chatting it up throughout the night. He made great food suggestions and when the noodles for my dish had run out, made sure I got a nice alternative. And then later, when things slowed down, shared with us his favorite spots from his recent trip to Cambodia. A really lovely family owned and run restaurant. I'm not in Lowell much but when I am, I'll be going back. Worth it! Give them your business!

  • 4/5 Stephen G. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem. The food was authentic Thai. Only complaint is that they do a lot of take out and it gets priority over seated customers. We waith over an hour to get served four simple, delicious meals. And the seated patrons weren't that numerous. Call ahead with order so you don't almost miss a concert due to slow service. Food was fabulous and wortht the wait, if you don't have to be somewhere afterwards .

  • 5/5 Megan J. 1 year ago on Google
    They were fantastic. My sister has a seafood allergy & the chef came out to go over what he could alter for her to ensure she would like it & feel safe eating it. They were kind, patient & took their time to go over everything. All the food came out fantastic! Service was the best I've encountered in years, I think the last time I had service this good was at a Michelin place in Paris.

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service, delicious food and a very relaxed atmosphere. The food is very flavorful but also surprisingly mild. However for those of us who love heat, there is Sriracha at the tables.

  • 5/5 William S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a local restaurant that is better than average, and there are a lot of choices in this area. Very good food, and their chicken wings are incredible. Parking is an issue but parking on the street is just a short walk to the entrance. Prices are on the rise as of late, but it's still worth it. Five star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Great food. Great service. They have a nice outdoor area to eat. Also they make sure they clean the bathroom after each person uses it!!!

  • 5/5 Brian L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great flavors and HUGE portions in a pretty cool space. We started with the papaya salad, had the beef salad, a seafood curry, and crispy pork intestine! Make sure to get rice as well!

  • 5/5 HSV 7. 2 years ago on Google
    We had Cambodian food for the first time ever last week and we all loved it. Since we were all new to this cuisine, our waitress was super helpful in explaining the menu and making meal recommendations which were all a hit. Excellent food, friendly service, large portions and great value. The Simply Khmer team really knows their business and goes all out to ensure an excellent dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!!

  • 4/5 Valerie V. 2 years ago on Google
    Polite and family friendly. My family Loves the food here. You can even BYOB! Best dishes compare to other Cambodian restaurants are, Angkor Style wings, Cha-kroung chicken, and meE ka-Tahng spicy - a must if you love spicy food
