Word of Mouth: Cambodian Cuisine

It's still "coming soon," and that same sign remains stuck to the window, but when I stopped by on Tuesday, the interior was reasonably well-furnished and free of construction debris, and several folks were chatting off to one side. The lady who came to the door told me that she expected Cambodian Cuisine — which pulled up stakes in Fort Greene nearly two years ago — to open in its new home in four weeks.

This long-suffering Brooklyn transplant has gone through many fits and starts, so the lady's sunny attitude was especially encouraging; at the very least, she seems to be a believer. Realistically, I can't hope for anything like the freewheeling food scene I found in Phnom Penh, but if Cambodian Cuisine simply lives up to its name, I'll be more than happy.
