Now Serving: Khmer Kitchen
"Be adventurous and explore the tastes of Cambodia with me and my family," says Rick. Indeed, you'll be glad you did.
Now Serving: Khmer Kitchen
There’s no doubt that there is a scarcity of Khmer restaurants in Philadelphia but Rich Nith is eager to change that. Located on the corner of Sixth and Morris in South Philadelphia is two-week-old Khmer Kitchen. “I want to introduce the unique flavors of Cambodia at an affordable price that everyone can enjoy,” he says. Indeed, the prices are almost as friendly as the staff. They’ll gladly answer any question you have about the menu.
If the warm orange glow that emanates from the corner restaurant doesn’t attract you, you’re going to miss out on a treasure of authentic Cambodian recipes that have been passed down through generations. It’s truly a family operation with Rick’s wife, sister and mother cooking Cambodian classics. Prah-Hok Kateeh is their signature dish that is prepared by caramelizing ground pork with a savory blend of spices, prahok (fermented fish paste), and coconut milk. It’s served crudité style with cabbage, radish, eggplant and assorted bell peppers. Most of the menu is served family-style, so order any one of their sah-law (stews) and share with a friend. Not ready to jump in with both feet? Their appetizer and salad menu is a great way to introduce beginners to the flavors of Cambodia.
“Be adventurous and explore the tastes of Cambodia with me and my family,” says Rick. Indeed, you’ll be glad you did.
Khmer Kitchen Hours: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily except Monday. 1700 S. Sixth St., 215-755-2222.
