Cambod-Ican Kitchen Restaurant - Cambodian restaurant in Pittsburgh - 1701 E Carson St, USA

My boyfriend and me were visiting Pittsburgh to see some local sites and were trying to figure out dinner. We love trying new cultural food and neither of us had Cambodian food before. One, the owner/staff here are amazing. It’s a family run business and they made amazing recommendations and were so fun. Caitlin is absolutely awesome and we’d love to go see them again. The food was hands down some of the best we’ve had. I had the beef stew, the beef falls apart in your mouth and is so rich and fatty. Then with the onions and bites of cilantro it is so fresh. My boyfriend had the tilapia which was also so flavorful and fresh. We also had the spring rolls and chicken kabobs (get the moon sauce over top!).

This is hands down one of the best places to eat in Pittsburgh it’s a must try the garlic chicken is amazing and the fresh spring rolls are extremely delicious !!! I love this place the cooks and staff are extremely polite I’d visit here over and over again !!!!

This little place has amazing food. I had chicken "shish kabobs," and even though it was not on a stick, it was the juiciest, tastiest chicken ever! It came with choice of rice and "moon sauce," which was a sweet sauce. I also got the shrimp spring rolls which were super fresh and delicious. My daughter got the vegetable and tofu soup and loved it. Staff was kind and conscientious, too. Will definitely find this place again if in Pittsburgh.

The best spot on Southside to grab some grub after partying the night away. The chicken on a stick with fried rice is legendary. The owner himself is a whole show. He goes all out to make sure you feel welcomed and takes care of you. He must been a former comedian because he makes conversation out of thin air with ease and has rapid fire comebacks for your replies. The food itself is a bit pricier but priced accordingly for Southside. You definitely get your money's worth with the huge portion that the food comes in. Some of the food is 💣💣💣💣💣 while some of the food is meh. I highly recommend the shrimp spring rolls and chicken on a stick.

Great food at a great price. Bought three entrees and a rice spring roll and was so much for my whole family of 4 adults. The owner is pretty nice and talkative too. Things are cooked fresh there so it's a bit longer but definitely worth it!

The food is good. It’s a bit sweet, but it’s good. The owner is what makes the place so special. The family seems super nice and friendly.

Really amazing food, they have some more traditional Cambodian dishes as well as some more Americanized Chinese food dishes. Both options are delish and full of flavor. The best part is they are OPEN TILL 2 AM ON EAST CARSON. When you get out of a bar on Carson and you desperately need something to eat late at night this place will be the holy land.

"Cambodican" is a Pittsburgh gem! My last visit I ordered shrimp rolls as an appetizer. The shrimp are wrapped around skewers then fried. Six shrimp rolls per order. The fresh shrimp, crispy coating and delectable "Moon Sauce" accompaniment will be the BEST appetizer you've ever bought for $5.00 and one of the best starters EVER! For my entree I ordered tilapia over white rice, or as the menu joking lists it "worthless white," with broccoli and carrots. I don't know how the restaurant does it, but the rice is ALWAYS cooked to perfection. Besides white, they also serve fried rice and brown rice. You can choose the rice you prefer. The tilapia is fresh and moist EVERY TIME glazed with an umami sauce. If you like your sauces less sweet just tell them. They really cook to satisfy the customer's taste buds. Have you ever ordered a stir-fry or other dish with vegetables and they're served as if the restaurant forgot to cook them? LOL! I order the broccoli and carrots as "soft," and they have NEVER failed to forget. The "moon sauce" is served on the side. The first time I ordered this dish I ordered two tilapia filets. Talk about a "Belly Buster!" It's a good thing I was going straight home because there were leftovers and I'm not a minimalist eater. I order one tilapia filet if I'm ordering from "Cambodican" for a meal while I'm working. The tilapia entree is truly one of my favorites at any restaurant. If I wasn't too lazy to go outside and wipe the four inches of snow piled on top of my car I'd drive to "Cambodican" right now!! The family that owns the restaurant are extremely customer focused and amazingly accommodating. The father is a true "Jokester." He loves interacting with customers. The mother is super friendly and a fabulous cook. The son always accommodates my every food whim. The daughter is engaging and has the most adorable little son, who scampers around the restaurant bringing joy to everyone around him. There's a fast food restaurant one block from "Cambodican" where I occasionally buy a vegetarian burger with fries and a drink when "Cambodican" is closed. The mediocre meal (room temperature burger, cold fries and flat pop) costs $13.00. THE SPECTACULAR TILAPIA, RICE AND VEGETABLE ENTREE AT "CAMBODICAN" COSTS ONLY $10.00 (a couple bucks more if you want two filets)!!! I just might call "Tony Williams Car Service" and treat myself to a chauffeured driven ride to "Cambodican." LOL! P.S. Don't forget to order one of "Cambodican's" decadent desserts!
