Awesome! Can’t wait to go back!
I ordered the mini burrito meal which consisted of 4 steak mini burritos with a side of rice, guacamole and refried beans. The mini steak burritos were delicious and paired with the home made guacamole. I will be back this week for sure and I can’t
First of all, I've never eaten here.
I would've loved to. But they are extremely strict on who they let in. Before you can even go into their restaurant, you had to have reserved a seat. So you make the phone call. They don't respond right away. Then they tell you to make rese

Goid Taco’s
Came with a family of (4). We all got taco’s. Prices range from $2.98 to $5.98. They have other items. You pay at register or at kiosk and they bring it to you, up to you to clean your table. Taco’s were good and full.

My two daughters and I made this as an outing on my wife's birthday. Amazing food, worth the initial pain of getting seated. There was a confusion on the reservation which apparently was due to the surge in the customer interest after the restauran
Good Place
We were seeing a show at the Auditorium and decided to walk over here to get something to eat. This is a somewhat small place where you go to the counter and order off a menu on the wall then grab a number and they’ll bring the food to you. I loved
I was super disappointed.
I know it was their second to last day, but they were out of at least 5 menu items. We got the beef skewers, which were great. Pin noodles with tofu and chicken curry stew were mediocre at best. The price point isn't reflected in the food. Service se
If you have never had the opportunity to experience
If you have never had the opportunity to experience authentic Cambodian, then you need to treat yourself to Khmai (trust me, you deserve it). This restaurant is one of Chicago's very few Cambodian restaurants, and they are fine dining, so reservatio
Wow I am so happy this place exists in the Rogers Park
Wow I am so happy this place exists in the Rogers Park area! Growing up around here, I feel like the food options were always so limited, particularly in any of the asian cuisines. When I heard this place opened up and was a James Beard semifinalist,

Went here on Friday evening, we had a reservation for 3 at 7pm. When we arrived, it was ridiculously busy, and they sat us at what looked to be the last available table, the one closest to the front door. Not ideal, but I figured I'd get over it.
Wow. I had really high expectations because I had heard
Wow. I had really high expectations because I had heard such glowing things about this place; I was still blown away. Everything we ordered was so filled with flavor--a perfect balance of fresh and light and deep and funky and salty and spicy-- textu

We didn't visit Khmai for a few months (life happens) and wow! New menu, excellent food (didn't expect anything less) and top-notch service (as always). Shout out to the all-so-amazing Shawna!! We don't remember the dish's names but we had calamari,
The food was pretty good.
Ribs were sticky and sweet and sour. Fish came with a tasty sauce, but the topping was very salty and was so abundant that we had to scrape it off. Noodles were flavorful, though a touch too sweet and there was too much raw cabbage and green onions o
A pre service review.
Made a reservation , two minutes late, table given away. Bar can't make any cocktails on the menu and the bartender speaks no English. Inauspicious start
Solid food, drink, and service!
Great for a quick stop to hang out for great drinks and food! We went here because it’s dog friendly with a little outdoor area out front that the CTA rolls right up to for that fun urban feel (in a cute way). Love their flavored passion fruit marg

Drove all the way from the City to explore Khmai and to check out Cambodian food! Very glad we did - such unique flavors and excellent preparation. The simple egg rolls were excellent, the chicken dish with carrots and all the broth was delicious.

Had dinner here tonight for the first time and everything was wonderful. For apps we had the crispy pork, shrimp, papaya salad and beef skewers. The shrimp was my favorite, but all had great flavor, fresh ingredients and the perfect amount of heat. O
The food was great.
We had the egg rolls as an appetizer, and shared short ribs and salmon for our entrees. We finished the night with coconut ice cream with fried bananas. It was so good we finished it in about 2 minutes flat. The only reason I'm giving it four stars i

We were finally able to try this beyond excellent Cambodian restaurant & yes, it was worth the wait!After, having a reservation cancelled due to a family emergency (definitely true), I tried to rebook another table a couple months later. Strange,
Tacos to Go
I ordered these for delivery, and they still tasted amazing. I got two tacos and a horchata. The meat was flavorful, and toppings highlighted it instead of being too heavy.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Khmai Cambodian Fine Dining Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Khmai Cambodian Fine Dining Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Khmai Cambodian Fine Dining Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Khmai Cambodian Fine Dining Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
