My girlfriend, who is Cambodian, and I went to Cheng Heng today after a horrible experience with Village Wok in Minneapolis and the moment the food was put in front of me, I knew it was going to be good. I had the #52, which is in the "new item" section of the menu and it was delicious. The green peppers were crunchy and perfectly cooked, as were the onions -- and the chicken was wonderful. The subtle sweet sauce in this dish is what convinced me. Eaten with chopsticks. My girlfriend choose the #15 which featured Chow Fun-like noodles (she says it's spoken like Mee-gah-ton noodles) but she enjoyed it very much. I would suggest getting a soda dispenser as opposed to using normal 12oz soda cans because not only does it taste better when dining out in my opinion, but it's also cheaper for the store itself. This was my first experience with Cheng Heng and it won't be my last.

Pros: Authentic, delicious food cooked and prepared well.

Cons: A bit messy environment by Caucasion standards. Funky bathroom. Soda comes in 12oz cans.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Don't miss the young coconut--a whole coconut, with the bottom squared off. The top is cut to make a little lid, a straw is inserted and voila. You'll think you're on the Love Boat.
