“I highly recommend this spot for authentic Cambodian cuisine. Our group of four didn't have to wait long and there was an iPad outside for joining the waitlist for a table. There's a variety of noodle options available. We tried the Phnom Penh Noodle Special dry and soup, Beef and Meatball Noodle, Pork Rice Porridge with fried breadstick, and ordered round bread on the side. While the round bread was too dense and hard, the meat bread had too many onions. Despite the rushed service causing a couple of mistakes, the overall experience was quite good, with fast and efficient customer service. It was very hard to find parking there so we had to park in the neighborhood.“
“Food: 5/5 highly recommend, their combo is very good. Great portion and price. They also have lunch menu, which comes with a side of your choosing. Service: 5/5 very welcoming. Ambiance: 5/5 they have a couple tables for dine in. But, most of the time people would order takeout or call in for a pick up.“
“Absolutely excellent food. I ordered the TD Brussel sprouts and the soft shell crab curry. Brussel sprouts are ever bit as delicious as others here have noted. The curry was superb - Probably the best I’ve ever had. The crab was tempura fried, which wasn’t what I was expecting but it stood on its own. Will definitely be back.“
“Casual dining for pho and crawfish, I only had time for lunch so pho it is. It was bland, no flavor yet the meat is great with their customer service on point, ask and you shall receive, it was an good foe the location and the price is a little high but now a days, it's like that everywhere.“
“Spontaneously walked into this place. Our server had to be in high-school. I don't remember his name but he was a great server, polite, and really took care of us. The food here is REALLY good and their sauces give it a unique experience. I got the hot pork buns and they were “
“First Timer to a Ramen restaurant and as one should asked about the menu and customer favorites. Service was very helpful, very busy and staff were pleasant. I chose customer favorite and enjoyed it with warm sake. Entree was sufficient but many other tables had starters. I believe I would return to try another dish. 5pm is before the rush, we sat at 6pm and inside sitting was packed.“
“I’ve been looking for a good place to eat in Long Beach away from the chains by the Pike and I was very pleased with Charm Siam. My friends and I got the Boat Noodle and Pad Thai, both were flawless with flavor you won’t get anywhere else. I was pleased by the menu, many dishes were authentic and sometimes harder to find at other Thai restaurants I’ve tried. Our servers were kind and attentive. Excellent place to eat and my top choice for Long Beach. Prices are reasonable, rarely going above 15$ average.“
“These were really great crab wontons or rangoons whatever! Nice flavorful crispiness. I would have really preferred to dip into the same sweet and sour sauce that was drizzled on top instead of the water spicy mayo so will request that change if there is a future visit. I have a sore throat so didn’t want any spice in my ramen. Overall good but think the sauce was on the more bland side compared to say Jinya. Probably more flavor as spice levels increase. The soft boiled egg was done perfectly. Overall enjoyed my meal“
“Our family of four came here while on v Our family of four went here for dinner as it was within walking distance of our hotel that we were staying at to go to Disneyland. We ordered the family meal named "La Tablita" as it had pork, steak and chicken with tortillas, veggies, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. My 11 year old daughter really enjoyed making a soft taco with steak and so did my 7 year old son. My wife had a pork taco and a steak and enjoyed them both and ate some chicken without a taco. My wife said the steak was the best. I had a taco with all three meats and enjoyed them all. I thought the chicken tasted the best. We all really enjoyed the food but we went at 7 pm and it was super busy and the service was a little slow. The restaurant had a very casual feel and we only got chips and salsa when we asked for it. The salsa was a little too heavy on tomatoes but still tasted good. If we were in the area again, we would definitely come here again. acation and we wanted to see if a highly rated Cambodian restaurant could come close to my wife and her mom's cooking at home. We decided to order three dishes and share them between the four of us. My 7 year old son and I really enjoy Asian noodles so I ordered the Beef Pad See-Ew. This dish was brought out first and all four of us really enjoyed them. Even my 11 year old daughter enjoyed the noodles although she doesn't care for them at home. They had a nice Cambodian assortment of vegetables in them and really hit the spot. The second dish we ordered was Beef sticks as we all enjoy them. These were good to all of us but were a little sweeter than we expected. We did notice how all the beef on the stick was so neatly and evenly placed which is hard to do for us. It would be awesome to know how that is done but we didn't ask. One of my daughter's favorite Cambodian meals is Beef and Prahok so of course, we ordered BBQ beef with Prahok. The Prahok sauce came out looking different than what we make at home. My daughter spread it over her rice and did not like it due to a lack of spice. When we asked for peppers and added them to the sauce, the food got better but we all agreed we like what we make at home better. Overall, the meal was good but if we were in the area, we would give another Cambodian restaurant a shot.“
“The food is absolutely delicious, the best ramen i've ever had! I'd definitely recommend adding garlic sauce or some of the spicy sauce. Everyone who works here is super kind and personable as well! Overall, eating here is such a lovely experience.“
“This is the best noodle place in Long Beach. They have the best spring rolls I’ve ever ate(they are HUGE) and are extremely delicious. The sauce is the cherry on top. My go to dish is the #24 new ka tang. The juicy chicken paired with the savory noodles is just so yummy?? I love iced tea so with the drink I choose the Thai iced tea. It’s a classic. There is also a choice of combodian noodles and viatnamese pho. If you were to get that, I would recommend the seaphood or the beef steak.“
“The atmosphere is mature, relaxed and familiar almost like you were relaxing at home or at a grandmothers house before a holiday dinner or summer lunch. It's pleasant to say the least. And it's not pretending to be something it isn't. It is comfortable in its own skin. And the food is a fresh reminder that all who wonder aren't lost, that different is needed and in many ways the progression and change we need in life ? my recommendations would honestly be anything on the menu but my "gotos" are any variety of "Pad see Ew" and "Pad Thai" the yellow curry as well every time I order these three without question.“
“Twice I've gone with my father and 2× it's been delicious and a delight! The sesame chicken is a go to for appetizers and I love the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. The broth itself alone.The ladies who served us are very attentive and polite.The food is freshly made and very filling.The only 2 things though......Finding parking anywhere in the street ( Lol )And kinda on the price( but that's debatable depending on how many people and what's ordered exactly. )“
“Some of my favorite yellow curry and pad thai around! I always get the peanut sauce to add to my noodles. They always remember to fry the tofu when I put it in the description. I usually doordash but I walked in the other day and it was so nice inside! My only wish would be to have a little more rice come with the curry.“
“The food and service was great. Our waiter recommended the sole in pepper sauce and it was amazing. We also had the crab fried rice, money bags, and wonton. We ate the entrées so fast that I forgot to take a pic! Lol. The entrées are shareable in size, so u get a good amount for what u pay for. Oh... and my drink (lychee Paloma) was BOMB! I will definitely be back!“
“Been wanting to try this place out. I got a to-go order and ordered the combo number 1, spring rolls and Thai tea. The soup is really good! I love the broth and it's probably one of the best I've ever tasted so far. The spring rolls were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the peanut sauce, but it wasn't terrible. And the Thai tea tasted pretty good! It was a little pricey, more than i had hoped to spend, but mostly worth it when im dying from a cold and want pho lol. I'd recommend this place to people wanting pho and I'd definitely come again. When ordering, the guy on the phone was very nice and when paying as well. All in all, I had a great experience.“
“I absolutely enjoyed eating at this place. The pho base is one of the best I've had in years and the service and atmosphere absolutely rock. If you have the time go check out this place.I got the rare pho and it successfully joined the clean plate club.“
“In my 40 years of living in the long beach area, many pho places have come and gone. When I really want pho I would usually go to little Saigon to the source. Pho 881 is definitely in my opinion the best pho in long Beach. I used to go to pho hong phat/long before but it just isn't as good when it was pho hong long. After trying pho 881 for the first time today, I highly recommend this place if you don't want to drive to little Saigon. I ordered the pho dac biet and was delicious.Broth was nice and clean. Very flavorful and a generous amount of noodles. Only issue I have is with the noodles being a bit mushy.“
“CASH ONLY. As of now, this is the closest place to get Thai Boat noodles from where I stay. Normally, my husband and I would prefer to go to LB Thai, but when we don't want to make that drive, we go here. The broth for the Thai Boat is always thick, rich, and full of flavor. I wasn't a big fan of their Hainan Chicken, which they only serve on certain days, but their Rad Na was pretty good. Super saucy with their gravy, but flavorful, nonethless. The pricing is pretty steep here for the serving size that you get. I felt like my plate of Rad Na didn't have too many noodles as I'd normally get elsewhere, but it felt like more veggies instead. I didn't really feel full after my meal, but it was fine. I wasn't trying to feel super stuffed either, I guess. But this is the place you want to go in the north for Thai Boat cravings. Free parking in plaza.“
“The Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen was perfect for my late night ramen craving! Not only is Giraffe Ramen delicious for takeout, it's actually tastier than many of the ramens I've had dining at ramen shops. It comes topped with wood ear mushrooms, half a soft-boiled egg, bean sprouts, bamboo, ginger, green onions, and of course two tender cuts of tonkotsu. The broth is nicely flavored without being too salty. I really appreciated the thoughtful packaging which separated the noodles/topping and broth in separate compartments within one container so it doesn't get soggy. The container is tied up in a plastic bag to prevent spill. The ratio of noodles/topping and broth was perfect. The next time you have a rainy day ramen craving, give Giraffe Ramen a try!“
“Pho here was really tasty. I was on a liquid fast so could only eat broth but what I loved is they had the roasted garlic at the table -- so good! My only issue is the broth tasted slightly sweet like it had sugar in it. I'm not sure if authentic pho recipes has sugar so I didn't knock off any stars for it. Hubby loved his and scarfed down the whole bowl.I will admit I got a small reaction. Allergies maybe due to some additive. Again, I didn't knock off any stars because I didn't really get to see a list of ingredients in their broth, but I will next time.The place is small but clean. Service was a little slow.I will definitely be back once I off my fast!“
“If you’re in the mood for wings look no further, this is the spot! Everything from the atmosphere and greeting when walking into the shop to enjoy the insanely incredible food was truly just a top notch experience. I have never been the biggest fan of dry rub wings but the Pekang is so out of this world, my mind was blown by the flavor profile - it was a top two next to the sweet & spicy garlic! The spicy Cambodian dirt, spicy elephant, and water buffalo were also damn delicious and unique in their own respects. Couldn’t forget the garlic noodles and fried rice which hit it out of the park too!! I honestly can’t wait to go back!“
