Four decades of family cooking.
Established in 1986, Phnom Penh House is a family-owned and operated restaurant dedicated to excellent cuisine in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
Recipes passed down, plates passed around.
Phnom Penh House is named for Cambodia’s capital — and it’s been bringing the flavors of home to the Bay Area since 1986.
Today siblings Ty and Linda Do run the restaurant with their family, cooking the dishes they grew up with: lemongrass kroeung pounded fresh, curries simmered in coconut milk, fish steamed in banana-leaf-style amok, and herb salads bright with lime and mint.
We currently have two locations — one in Oakland and one in Alameda — and we hope to see you at one of them soon. Thank you for your support!
From 1986 to today.
