Hong Meas Restaurant Review: Hong Meas serves Vietnamese, Thai and Cambodian dishes with often equal levels of panache. The Cambodian salad (or nyom) is an astute and crunchy toss of cabbage, carrots, peppers, Thai basil, cucumbers and chicken with lime juice tang and chili spark. Curries have impressive depth. And banh hoi, the Vietnamese staple, comes with beef redolent of lemon grass and char, and a nicely salty-sweet-sour dipping sauce, alongside the requisite lettuces, herbs and noodle patches for bundling. Even if the décor would do just as well in a ramshackle Phnom Penh storefront, we’re smitten. And the friendly staff puts Hong Meas a step above most other Asian joints. |
