Yesterday for lunch, we were craving hot food, so we headed down to Restaurant Row on Ala Moana Blvd. to have our favorite food there…Chez Sovan Express. This great little eatery serves Cambodian food. Now if you haven’t had Cambodian food, it is very much like Thai and Vietnam food.
I went for the three item combo. For $7.29, I was able to get their fried noodle, chicken curry, and eggplant tofu. It also comes with a scoop of steamed rice. First off, their fried noodle was very much like pad thai. The noodles were decently wide with nice spices, but not too overwhelming. They also include little pieces of chicken and tofu, and it was all topped off with some crushed peanuts. They gave a big heaping scoop, almost like two servings full…how generous! The eggplant was very very tender, and the tofu was nice and soft. The sauce was a bit spicy, but it was very delicious. Lastly, the chicken curry came in a separate container, and contained a HUGE chunk of tender chicken, a carrot, and a large chunk of potato. The curry was spicy, and was very similar to Thai curry, which contains coconut milk. Eating it over my brown rice (you can get white or sticky), I felt very satisfied since yesterday was pretty cold.
My girlfriend had the fish curry, which was also very good. It came in a very large bowl, and cost $7.29. It came with a side of rice as well. The curry contained pieces of fish, eggplant, string beans, and basil. The curry was a bit spicy and also had the nice coconut milk flavor.
Would I go back again? OF COURSE. For the price and especially the delicious food, Chez Sovan Express is definitely my favorite restaurant in Restaurant Row. Next time you’re there, make sure you stop by…I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
