Chez Sovan has been in the Oakland Road location for 24 years or so. The second location on Baascom started by the same people but is now owned and run by the chef who started out with the original people. They have all the same dishes, though the original place has evolved some recipies so they are slightly different. The... more

There are two locations, this one near Japantown (open for lunch), and another on Bascom just south of the Pruneyard (open for lunch and dinner). The atmosphere is simple, perhaps even underwhelming, and you may wonder what you're getting yourself into. The service, too, while fine enough and very friendly, will not knock your socks off. But the food? It's... more

From what I understand this place has been around for more than 20 years at the same location and is open only for lunch 5 days in a week. There are quite a few dishes on the menu but my favorite are Amok, Chicken Curry, and Fish Stew. more

You won't happen upon this place by chance, given it's location (but I did notice all the strangely out of place expensive cars in the lot across the street). I've been here for lunch a couple of times after recommendations. Inside it's ordinary, but the food is far above your initial expectations. This kind of cuisine isn't something that I... more
