Cuisine Du Cambodge  is not totally hidden.  If you stand in front of it you might say the old Peggy Lee line: Is that all there is?  But don’t be fooled.  Many of us are excited the original creator of Phnom Phenh is back and the food is better than ever.  Do you crave authentic food and sometimes find it lacking in the trendier neighborhoods? Cuisine Du Cambodge is for you. They specialize in Cambodian and South Asian cuisine.  If you want more verification than my word (and I don’t blame you!), check out their great reviews on Urban Spoon.  The other mark of a good restaurant?  On my last visit, I struck up a conversation with an Asian man who runs his own restaurant in Downtown Cleveland, but lives in my hood.  He eats at Cambodge frequently and says the food is better than most ‘hip’ places that charge a lot more.  I agree.  Check out the Cambodge Du Cuisine  menu on their website here.   BTW, the Urban Spoon rating by consumers is 92%.   I love their Phnom Penh kuy tiev chha.  Cooked so there is still texture to the vegetables, the spices are both well blended and yet individually tasted.  I love it.  Their rice paper rolls are better than any I’ve had in NE Ohio.  And they cost $1.50.  Stir fried roasted eggplant and pork for less than $8.  The ginger mussels are pure heaven, and a bit pricier.  The menu has so many items to choose from, and the owner will be glad to help you choose something different to try if you like!

Let me say this about my Bellaire Puritas neighborhood.  Did you know the original West family owned tons of acres of property all the way down to W. 117th street? There is a pretty, L shaped red brick colonial on W. 138th St. (South of Lorain) which was the West family home.  Back in the day, when everything else was probably farmland.  That is where the West Park name originated.  We are not as far West as Kamm’s Corner with easy access to I 71 and I 90 (five min to each).  I say this because I really feel everyone in NE Ohio should check out Cambodge Du Cambodia. 

My office is a few doors away from the 2nd incarnation of Phnom Penh.  (In Ohio City).  It’s pricier and most of the people I talk to feel the food just isn’t as good as it should be.  I know I haven’t been tempted to eat there in quite some time.  When I found out the original creator/owner had departed, I understood.  And now I can enjoy the best by eating in my own hood?  Who would have thought!
