Angkor Restaurant

My absolute favorite location to get Thai/Cambodian food in the greater Pittsburgh area. The restaurant rarely gets crowded, so no need for reservations even with big groups (though they may appreciate the heads up in any case). It's BYOB, and there's a liquor store in the same shopping center.

When I still lived in the area I was certainly a regular. The staff has been consistently kind and attentive, and I have never had a bad meal. I don't even think they've ever gotten an order wrong before, and I was going every other Saturday (at least).

My favorite appetizer menu items are the fresh spring rolls (best with shrimp, but can be vegetarian/vegan as well) which have the best peanut sauce I've ever had with these rolls, the crispy/fried vegetable spring rolls (also come with an amazing thin, clear flavorful sauce that is good enough to drink on it's own), and the nai tangs which are puffed rice squares served with one of the most interesting toppings I've ever had (peanut and coconut flavors with pork, and I'm devastated there isn't a vegetarian option for this).

Every single entree is a winner. I love their tofu for the protein option. Even before being vegetarian I opted for it. Perfectly crisp and soaked with flavor.

You MUST get their hot jasmine tea with your meal. They serve it with sugar crystals that are so delicately sweet and perfect for tea (less harsh than granulated sugar).

You won't be disappointed. The price, portions, flavor, environment, and service is all on point.

Best food I've ever had. Try their authentic Cambodian appetizers and dishes (ask the waiter for recommendations!). I've heard their Thai food is good, but nothing in Pittsburgh compares to their Cambodian.

I recently made my maiden voyage to Angkor with my daughter, and neither one of us raved about the experience on our way home.
We stopped in for lunch on a hazy, warm Thursday afternoon, being the only ones in the restaurant until another diner walked in for his first time lunch too. The waiter was friendly, and upbeat, didn't mention his name, but was helpful when the other diner had questions about the menu.
For an appetizer, we ordered the deep fried tofu triangles, which my daughter really liked. I'm a tofu fan, but couldn't get passed the fried, oil heavy bites of tofu. Bland, and heavy with oil, it just didn't work for me.
I decided on the drunken noodles, with lemongrass soup, while my daughter opted for Pad Thai and the wonton soup, both which came with a fried spring roll. The presentation of the decor, and the dishes of food were both appealing to the eyes. The lemongrass soup was tasty, fresh mushrooms and tomatoes in a beefy broth that was not sugary sweet, but sweet and sour at the same time. The fried spring roll seemed to be mass produced which I didn't mind, it was nicely fried, and tasted good. The drunken noodles was full of vegetables, bean sprouts, celery and the like. It was a bit salty for my taste, but good. My daughter enjoyed her food, which for a first trip to a new restaurant was played safe.

For almost $28.00 at lunch, we weren't disappointed, but not blown away either. We might plan another trip to Angkor to try something else, just not rushing to get there right now.

So as I mentioned before Thai is my most favorite cuisine but I have never tried Cambodian food before. So we are here in Pittsburgh meeting up my inlaws and they have never tried Thai/ also was very skeptic about trying as they think it'd be too spicy. But I managed to get them to try this with me and it was not as good as we expected it to be.

With exception of the Pannan beef curry the rest of the food was overly sweet and covered in excessive amount of generic tasting sauces. Coming from NYC I have tasted many different restaurants (Thai). And this food is not very good in comparison. Many of the dishes tasted more like Panda Express Lol. (Japanese eggplant, sweet and sour chicken) the fried rice was decent and he steamed fish was okay but lacked depth of flavor and spice.

The service was excellent and on point. Our sever was the only one working there it seemed and the place got quite a few tables at once but she handled it rather well.

Recommendations:

The appetizers were good, we tried 4 and 2 of them were outstanding, try the na tang (it was rice crisp with an amazing dip) and shrimp blanket is amazing, the beef and chicken skewers were okay.

On the antree I tried their Cambodian fried rice with crab chicken and it was pretty good also recommend you guys pannan curries.

I think this restaurant is suffering from an identity crisis . They should just stick to their Cambodian/Thai cuisine and get rid of their Japanese and Chinese platters. Adding all those affects your chef as well as your food.

The waiter was so nice, super friendly, and always smile. We only ordered to go because we had to drive back to WV. First dish was papaya salad. I'll give it an ok. I'm Thai so it's hard to please me with this dish. If for Americans, it might be really good. I'm not sure. The second one was drunken noodle. I'll give it an ok also. I had better. I would say the noodle was too sticky together and it wasn't as herb as it should be. The last one was N6. Their traditional dish. I really liked this one. I like curry and this one has curry in it. Beef was really a good match as the waiter told me. Do I like it and stop again? If I already cross the bridge from Pittsburgh, I would say yes.

Excellent food! Very fresh spring rolls. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms.
Recommend C6 with shrimp and C12 with beef

This place seriously needs to figure out their timings rather than haphazardly closing at will . Yelp mentions they're open until 10, however we had 2 separate instances where we went at 7:45 pm and 8.10 pm when we were turned down that they aren't open. Seriously ??? Especially on Saturdays for a place to close down so early !!! The food is OK but the ambiance is authentic which is why we preferred to go there. I am not going here again and won't be recommending them to anyone else. BTW if your actual timing is to close at 8, you better update your yelp/google profile.

This place is awesome, my first time of Cambodian food, it was so good and spicy, my husband ordered level 7! It was too spicy for me but everything is good. My husband loves butternut squash soup and the waitress is so nice. Love this place. Definitely go again!

Food is good but the lack of waiter staff ruins the ambiance...
Personally have tried the thai fried rice, Penang curry, and drunken noodles. All these classic dishes are great! Definitely a place worth trying but again would like the management to spend a little more and pay for a second waiter.

This is my Mom's favorite place to dine, and definitely on my top 5 list of Pittsburgh restaurants! It's a hidden jewel, inconspicuously situated in a strip mall in the West End. Discovered one day post thrift store shopping, it's now a little tradition that we practice.

MMmmmm, the food's so yummy! With a fairly diverse Thai/Chinese/Cambodian menu and daily specials that hit the spot, there's a lot to choose from. I recommend the green curry! Their masaman curry and pad thai aren't too shabby either. And, if they ever have a salmon special, get it! Their spring rolls are ok; I've had better. But, the tom yum soup is fab! And, their thai iced teas are delicious and made just right! Best of all, there are options for every diet, palate, and the prices are reasonable.
