Heng Seng Restaurant

Love their egg noodles, fried rice, and kwetiaw siram. The bone soup tasted really savory. If u eat there, try to order young coconut drink too
Better order it for to go because the place is small. And u might be seated with somebody else

I go here almost every weekend and it is a phenomenal restaurant. First and foremost, the service here is speedy and kind. On the weekends, there is a nice waitress named Sarah who accommodates many of the customers’ needs! The restaurant is fairly clean and family owned which makes this a great local spot to cater to your Asian cravings. Loc Lac is one of my personal favorites to eat here; steak, and vegetables which you can dip in lime and it comes with a bowl of soup! Honestly a great deal from this area. Do not judge the location, the service and quality is wonderful and definitely outweighs the local competitors. Definitely a place to try out! I recommend it to all my friends who want to try a mixture of different Asian cultures. It is mostly Cambodian-​Chinese but they truly incorporate other traditional Asian recipes.

First time here. Hood good is the best way to describe is fried noodles on point. Gf got pan fried noodles id recommend it

Family owned restaurant with loyal patrons. I’ve known the owners since I was very young and this is definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone who wants to support a small business that serves great food. As much as I see the other reviews, I feel like they underplay the value of what this place is really about. For one, the reason why I like this spot is because they NEVER change their style and that is a great thing.

One of my favourite and cheap restaurant. =)
I am especially loved the soup on the side. The rice is pretty good too. I always ordered House special ones and the taste is just alright aka not too salty or sweet.
Not the best place to eat the noodles though. Other people that comes totally enjoyed them but not for me. The service was great and often enough there would be a large bunch of people talking loudly. Hard to park (usually the street was packed). Other than that, I always craved for the soup and the house specials.

Had I not already experienced the sheer deliciousness that is New Phnom Penh, located just a block south of here, I would be giving Heng Seng three stars. Unfortunately, for both the restaurant and my stomach, I have to say «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»
We came here because my uncle said that he and my aunt had ditched New Phnom Penh for this place years ago. Still, they haven’t been to Heng Seng in quite a while…
So of course my mom and I got the Phnom Penh-​style noodles and some yau ja gwai for comparison. An order of the latter will only consist of one pair, whereas you’ll get two over at New Phnom Penh. The place smelled really awesome when we first walked in but we didn’t really get anything from our noodles; the broth was really light in color and the noodles were a bit too hard. The shrimps were small and there were only two (I had four big shrimps in my noodles each time I went to New Phnom Penh); the meat was sparse but tasted okay. You also won’t get the leaf of romaine that comes with the New Phnom Penh noodles. Finally, the yau ja gwai wasn’t as brown or crispy as New Phnom Penh’s — unfortunately, the flavor didn’t make up for it.
I had to add fish sauce and a spoonful of chili oil but only managed to obtain an okay flavor. The one good thing about the noodles as a whole was that the broth was hot. Too bad the atmosphere and service weren’t as warm as New Phnom Penh’s.
The restroom is narrow and not as clean as New Phnom Penh’s, either.
Verdict: Sticking with New Phnom Penh until they give me reason not to. This was a really disappointing experience; I have NEVER in my adult life left so much noodle uneaten.
Lesson learned: Don’t go looking for something better than what you’ve already deemed perfect.

As good as it gets for a good ol bowl of cambodian style noodles. There is another cambodian noodle house who does rival this place and they are just up the block, New Phnom Penh. This restaurant is on south 7^th st, so if you’re commuting you can totally reach it via the 47. HS has been here for years and its a big part of the cambodian community. It’s also family owned and operated. I typically order the seafood Phnom Penh egg noodle and request the broth on the side. If you like asian noodles you should try it this way– won’t work with Phở though. Why broth on the side? Oooo, lemme tell you! Before the broth is poured into the bowl, the chef has already flavored the dish with soy sauce, garlic oil and flakes and other secret ingredients thats makes each noodle house so different and tasty. With the broth on the side you can control the intensity of the flavor rather than have it all washed out/​diluted by the broth. So I can sprinkle sugar and more soy sauce if I want, dip the noodles in hoisin sauce or squeeze on a lime or two. It’s great this way– trust me. And do order the ice coffee. It’s crazy strong and made with condensed milk.
