Angkor Borei, San Francisco CA
I don’t think I’ve ever had a dish like this before. It had a very interesting, fluffy texture and it tasted great. The accompanying sauce was tart and salty, but pair nicely with the curry fish mousse.

The liked this dish. The beef was tender and all the vegetables were fresh and crisp. We ordered this dish “medium”, but it wasn’t too spicy. I think we should have ordered it “hot”.

Mmm, this peking duck was great. I loved all the delicious skin and the meat was tender and flavorful. The buns were a bit on the dry side though and they kept tearing.

Wow, I loved this. The sauce was especially delicious and the plate was beautiful! The lamb tasted great but it came out more rare than I wanted. I couldn’t eat much of the center of the loin portion.

This was not good! The funnel cake was SO greasy and it just soaked into everything – yuck! I couldn’t get over the excessive amount of grease in this dessert (and that huge inedible leaf was annoying).
