Over dit restaurant

  • Juweeltje in de wijk
  • Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
  • Charmant
Khmai Cambodian is a culinary journey that celebrates rich heritage and indomitable spirit of Cambodia. Named as an homage to Khmer, the native language, Mai means mother, which pays homage to Chef's mother.
Our restaurant is a testament to the enduring bond between family and food.

Khmai Cambodian is Inspired by the childhood experiences of our founder, Mona Sang, and her mother, Sarom Sieng, who survived the Cambodian genocide, our menu pays tribute to their unwavering resilience and passion for cooking. As a James Beard Semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2023, Khmai Cambodian has earned acclaim for its commitment to preserving and showcasing the culinary treasures of Cambodia.

Also enjoy our new concept Kaun Khmai, where the spirit of Cambodia comes alive through bold flavors and vibrant experiences. Translating to "Children of Cambodia," our lively and casual atmosphere invites you to explore the innovative fusion of traditional Khmer street food with a generational twist.

    A Journey Through Cambodian History & Cuisine ⚠️ This journey includes sensitive themes and references to violence. We understand that these moments may be emotional or triggering, and we want to be clear: Khmai Tales is a space of reflection, remembrance, and care. We aim to create a safe, respectful space for all who join us—where the past is honored and healing can begin through food, storytelling, and connection. Throughout your dining experience, you will be immersed in six pivotal moments of Cambodian history, woven seamlessly between courses. Each scene will transport you through time—from the vibrant pre-genocide era, through the resilience of Khmer Rouge survival, to the present-day revival of Cambodian culture. As you savor each dish, you’ll witness the untold stories behind the flavors, traditions, and memories shaping Chef Sang’s family journey. This is more than a meal—it is a tribute to history, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of the Khmer people. A Journey through past, present, and future. 7 courses, one unforgettable night.

    Besides the dinner, which was truly phenomenal, the service was outstanding. Dakota, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and could not have been more friendly. He was training a new server, and he set a wonderful example for the new employee. This is was my second meal at this establishment, and it certainly won't be my last. I will recommend this wonderful restaurant to everyone I know! Mark Alan Ursa

    Outstanding. Great food and atmosphere. This was our first visit. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation time, but once seated everything exceeded our expectations. Attentive service, Food had unique flavors, not exactly Vietnamese, Thai, or Malay. For starters, extremely tasty egg rolls (with ground chicken) and marinated grilled skirt steak skewers. The "small plates" were still shareable -- we enjoyed the grilled ribeye and the shredded mango salad with crispy fried tilapia, plus the bigger "share plate" of pan-fried wide noodles with chicken. Topped it all off with house-made lychee ice cream (with chunks of lychee).

We also sincerely appreciate your patience with the wait. Your feedback is noted, and we’re always working to fine-tune our guest experience—especially when it comes to timing.

    Lovely environment and lovely people in the restaurant. Lots of young people really trying to provide an elevated experience. I'm grateful to have another option in our area and wish the restaurant luck and we'll continue to support it. I will say I think the food was good. Not exceptional. It's quite expensive, but I'll give it another try and come back. It was really crowded, lively vibe and that was great, so congratulations. I'll be back.

    We were excited to try this restaurant in Rogers Park, and booked for 4pm on a Sunday. Very friendly welcome at the front desk and we were seated at a window table for two. Our waiter was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the Cambodian dishes. All of the dishes, egg rolls, mango salad,spicy rice and eggplant were delicious and delivered promptly.I had a couple of issues though. The removal of our dishes seemed hurried to me and we had to remind the staff that we were still eating. The biggest spoiler was the music being played. Continuous rap was a real turnoff. Please, whoever is in charge of music and ambience, choose a more appropriate genre. The music had no relevance whatsoever to the restaurant. Really disappointing. The price point is high, so for us it would be a once in a while visit.

    Thank you for dining with us and for your kind words about the food and service. We’re glad Chris made your experience enjoyable! The music is part of the casual, street food-inspired vibe we’ve created on that side, reflecting Cambodian street food culture. We understand that it might not be for everyone, though. For a quieter experience, we offer an upscale dining side on Fridays and Saturdays with a calmer ambiance and a tasting journey. We’d love to have you try that side on your next visit. Thanks again for your feedback, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

    Opted in for the casual dining experience and sat at the bar. Everything we ordered tasted delicious—the vibrant yet comforting flavors and textures. Staff are friendly and provided helpful recommendations. Highly recommend folks check out Khmai solo and with people.

    Eclectic asian food similar to Thai and Vietnamese. Flavors are out of this world good. A wonderful date night place. We will come back for brunch and prefix menu!
    KhmaiReageerde 1 dag geleden
    Thank you so much for dining with us and for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the flavors and had a great date night. While Cambodian cuisine shares some ingredients with Thai and Vietnamese food, it truly stands on its own—with its own rich history, flavor profiles, and soul. We’re thrilled you got a taste of that and can’t wait to welcome you back for brunch and our prix fixe menu soon!
