Cambodian Thai

If you're looking for quick, cheap Thai(definitely not a bad thing), this is the place to go. Came to ND for a night and was looking for a non-chain place, so me and the boss went to Cambodian Thai per hotel recommendation. We almost missed the place, it's tiny and probably serves better as a carry out or lunch spot. Don't come here if you're looking for "finer dining".

Typical (in a good way) Thai menu with a lot of choices. The food was hot and fresh and was delivered pretty quickly. The spicyness was adequate and overall was pretty authentic. Definitely left happy and belly full. $7 for a good portion of good food.

Overall a quality quick spot for Thai in South Bend, at least from a visitor's perspective.

Service: 9/10
Atmosphere: 7/10
Food: 8/10

Really rather disappointed after hearing several people recommend this place.  It would not pass muster in other cities.

I ordered a Panang Curry - the huge plus (and since there aren't many other Thai food options in South Bend, it will probably earn them my repeat business) - was the curry sauce, tangy with herbs and spices.

I was really surprised to see that Cambodian Thai's Panang Curry only consists of meat, green peppers, rice, and sauce.  No other vegetables; no lemongrass, no red peppers.  The green peppers were still crunchy and thick cut like you find in Chinese pepper steak dishes.

As far as the dine-in experience, another disappointment.  It is on a lively block in downtown South Bend, but the small storefront is dingy and old.  A decade or more must have passed since it's last been painted, and there isn't much room to breathe when a large party comes in.  

The positives are the price, the convenient hours, and the curry sauce.  But if there was any competition, I don't think this restaurant would stand a chance.

I'll give it 2.5 stars. Settled for two since this place is overrated. Someone wrote, "Best Thai from here to Seattle." - No way.
There are places in Seattle that blow this place away.  
I ordered the following:
Spring Rolls:  Terrible. Weird rice wrapper, not your typical thin translucent wrapper. It's thicker, almost closer to a tortilla.  Filled with sprouts and a sliver of cucumber. Garnished with green onion and shredded carrot. Sauce was honey- based, I guess...thick and sweet, not a good compliment. I threw this appetizer away.

Red Curry Chicken:  Simplistic. Coconut milk with bamboo, chicken and ONE piece of basil. Not much flavor, but pretty spicy.

Basil Fried Rice:  Also simplistic, but the best of the three. Rice drenched in soy sauce, fresh broccoli, fresh basil. Chicken was almost nonexistent. Big proportion for $6.95.
I doubt I'll be returning here when I come back to South Bend. Hopefully there is something better out there.
