Beloved Cambodian standby in Oakland Chinatown serving soulful classics like smoked eggplant, Battambang noodles, and amok with warm, fast service and fair prices; expect street parking and a modest dining room.
Battambang earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like smoked eggplant and amok, paired with warm, attentive service and quick pacing. The modest, dated setting and occasional consistency variations prevent grade A territory, but this Chinatown stalwart delivers authentic, comforting Cambodian cooking with genuine hospitality and strong value—a reliable neighborhood favorite worth seeking out.
One caveat: Parking can be difficult and street-only with time limits
