My husband, FIL and I are in town on business and decided to check out Hong Meas last night. Prior to coming, we discussed our options thoroughly as it was chilly outside and we were in the mood for soup. Not being from the area, we weren't sure where to go, but Hong Meas caught our eye - being a family run Cambodian establishment gave us hope for a great meal. Coming from Toronto, the land of thousands of cultural restaurants, we didn't know how this place would stand against our go-to spots back home. We were not disappointed. Service is great, the gentleman who was running the front of house was attentive and gave good recommendations for food. He was simultaneously seating guests, taking orders, answering the phone, settling bills and delivering drinks/ food. We got the fresh shrimp rolls to start. I could tell they were made fresh to order. The rice paper was still nice and hydrated, the shrimp was fresh, juicy and tender. The crushed peanuts on the side were a nice addition to add some texture to the dish! After browsing the menu, I settled on the caramelized pork soup (Somlor Khor Sach Chrouk). Our server let me know that they were out of it and I swapped to the beef pho. Before writing down my new choice, he asked me a few questions regarding my food preferences and recommended the Khor Ko in lieu of pho. I agreed to the swap and was thoroughly impressed by the dish I received. An incredibly flavourful broth with rice noodles, large chunks of soft carrot, tender stewing beef and meatballs. It absolutely exceeded my expectations - each bite was better than the last. My husband got the beef pho. As you know, a good pho is defined by the broth. This pho was delicious. It easily rivalled our favourite pho spot back home in Toronto. Portion sizes are huge - beware if you order the large. We are thankful we opted for the small! The portion of "add-ins" (bean sprouts, limes, thai basil, chili's) was very large, giving you the option to build your pho how you please! Our server was also quick to let us know that if we ran out/ needed more to just let him know! My FIL also got a soup. For the life of me, I can't remember what he ordered. There was chicken and slices of pork in his. He was extremely pleased with his selection. The broth was light and flavourful, you truly could taste the herbs and spices they used to create such a tasty dish. My FIL never finishes his pho, even at home from his favourite restaurant. Last night, he drank every last drop of broth from his bowl. If that's not a testament to this restaurants quality and flavour I don't know what is. We spent our meal slurping up our soup and fending each other's spoons off from stealing the broth from our personal bowls. Phenomenal flavours and service. Portions are huge (we took note of other dishes people ordered and marvelled at how much food was on a single plate). Great bang for your buck. When we arrived, we were one of 3 tables. By the time we left, almost every single booth/ seat had been taken. I cannot recommend this place enough! There is a 99% chance we will be back before we leave town to head home. It's just THAT good. Thank you Hong Meas for the best meal we've had this trip! We could taste the love you put into your food. You will have forever fans in Toronto!!! P.S. - the Thai tea's are great as well. P.P.S. - if you like to have a drink with dinner, it is BYOB! P.P.P.S. - CASH ONLY!!!!!

This place mainly handles takeout orders but still has a nice clean sitting area. They only had one waitress for four tables. She did a great job though. As my fiancée is Vietnamese, I take my Vietnamese food seriously. The pho here is not the best ever, but it is very good and certainly the best east of Hartford, CT and south of Boston. They give you huge servings for the price too. There is also lots pf spice if you are a spice masochist like me. I suspect I will be ordering from here a lot this winter. Cheers, Edward

Went here with my fiancé and my parents to get pho as I had been craving my favorite Vietnamese comfort food. This place is cash only and our service was phenomenal. The waitress did a great job although it was busy at an off time. The portion sizes are a good value for the money. The interior is minimal however, there are a few good cultural touches. I have also tried the banh mi here for takeout and it was descent. We will definitely be back here again!

Just want to update this as they are cash only now. Always a bummer to have to go to the ATM first.

Some of the best Asian food within 30 miles. Their bahn mi sandwich's are the best sandwich's in the city , Bar none!! Very inexpensive too.

I can't say enough great things about my experience. There were 4 of us and everyone loved everything. Started with the nime chow, hae kainge, egg rolls, jalapeño wings, pork fried rice, fresh, fresh, fresh! then we all ordered meals, which we all took home because there was just too much food! We ordered everything from curry seafood to lemon grass, chicken, beef, and broccoli, and I had a dish with marinated pork with noodles on a bed of lettuce and sliced cucumbers, which was phenomenal. What I also loved about everything is that there was an array of sauces to go along with everything. Picture attached, can't wait to go back with friends, it's BYOB.

Feel like Cambodian, but want to avoid providence, RI? Hit up Hong Meas restaurant. They specialize in Cambodian but are pan Asian. Got a beef banh mi sandwich and a spicy Cambodian beef stew. 4 meals for 2 people for $20. Staff is very attentive and super nice. The venue is a bit divey. Don't come for the ambiance. All drinks are $2 and up. No free water. Large venue with plenty of seating and private free parking lot. BYOB

This place is lowkey located in a bit of a run down strip mall. Even once you get inside, the place itself isn't especially nice. That being said, the food and service were both great! I've never actually tried Cambodian food, so I was really excited to try it out. They also had some other Asian food, like Thai. My friend and I shared the Spring Rolls, which were fresh and delicious. They came with peanuts and a vinegar-based sauce, not the usual peanut sauce I'm used to at Thai places. My friend had the Tofu Bahn Mi and said it was really good! I got the Mee Katang with beef, since the waitress said that was a good choice. It reminded me of Drunken Noodles, but was smothered in more sauce. The portion was pretty big and came with lots of veggies. High praise!
