Mitapeap Khmer Restaurant

I believe this place has replaced a new owner. Or chef. My 5 star mee kathang doesn’t taste the same anymore. They always run out of bor jrook (pork stomach). It’s not the same here.

I tried the tofu fried rice with seafood. It was definitely delicious I’ll be getting more in the future.

Hidden gem! I’ve lived nearby for several years and have no idea why I’ve never tried it before today. Great place for take-​out, ready in 10 minutes. I love congee, so decided to try their #41 Barbar Mon (rice soup with chicken) and added single order of Chinese donut. I also ordered #36 Cha Mee Sewer (clear angel hair noodles) with beef.
Everything was delicious. I loved the soup, especially with the bean sprouts and lime, a new twist. I did miss the crispy shallots typical of Vietnamese or Filipino style, just personal preference. The stir-​fried noodles were very good, lots of veggies and meat, tasty sauce, a little sweet, but balanced. Huge portions, lots of leftovers. Can’t wait to come back!

Just delicious !! Everything was just right. The right amount of meat and veggies. The owner was very sweet and welcoming! I am a VERY picky eater. So this says A WHOLE LOT.

Sorry to wright this review. The food is good, but the owner’s heart and mind are not for the business. Yes I know these to be the facts, hopefully she will sell to someone that will give the restaurant the love it deserves. I had asked for four stars spicy, came out no spice at all. I couldn’t ask for the spice to be added as the owner was chatting away trying to sell her business. Very disappointing as the restaurant has a lot of potential.

Love it here. Amazing authentic Cambodian. If you’re a fan of Thai food you’ll find lots to love here. Great chicken soup with noodles (Vietnamese phở style), great fried rice, yummy flat wide noodles and my absolute favorite dish is the chicken Laab salad.

If you want fresh authentic Khmer food. This is the place. Price is reasonable and food is delicious. Service is wonderful very friendly and helpful…

The best AUTHENTIC KHMER food in area. Try the beef slawmachukreung extra tripe and intestine, MeeKatang (wide noodles), spring rolls, fish plate with tamarind dip sauce, chicken wings but with sauce on the side, beef Lok lak. #YUMMMM

I’m very impressed. Plenty of menu items to choose from. What I tried were very good. Service is great and the place is very clean. I will certainly come back to try other dishes.

Went to khmer resturant Saturday. The food was great. Love the chicken with flat noodles and the hot wings. Curry chicken was super duper good. Customer service was on point. The waiter was really helpful, attentive. Will be back soon.

2 ½ stars but will round up… Really disappointed — had wanted to come here for a long time and finally had the chance. It is a small, clean restaurant and was quite busy when we came (they were obviously friends &/​or family members — which is great). We had gyoza and their version of phad see ew (it was meh and the beef was very tough and tasteless). Thai iced tea was awful — way to sweet… Prices were a little on the high side. Won’t be back… Wish I would have tried their house soup but I’m to cheap to pay $ 9 for a bowl of wonton soup…

Mitapeap I believe was the first Cambodian restaurant that I actually have been to.
The food is not entirely dissimilar to Thai food but at least from the food we ordered it was not as spicy as Thai and of course different spices were used.
After reading some other reviews about this place there were comments that the portions seemed small so when Steve and I went here with some friends we ordered got an appetizer as well.
I got the Chicken Chow Mein which was excellent! The flavors and textures were wonderful and the portion actually was not too small at all but very appropriate for a meal. The appetizer we ordered was an order of four eggrolls. Two a piece for each of us. The eggrolls were fried of course but the crispy texture was instantly appealing and the filling was not dried out or overcooked at all.
As I said before there are many similarities to Cambodian to Thai food and they had iced coffee which was emphasized that it was Cambodian style. What exactly the difference was I am not too sure but the coffee was good and strong and everything I expected it to be.
I am excited for a return visit and ready to explore more of their menu options!

Meekatang chicken was flavorful with all chicken breast, crispy veggies and the noodles were the oerfect texture. Sweet spicy wings had the perfect amount of heat. Very friendly assistance for takeout, offered me tea while I waited. We’ll be back.

My family took a trip to Tacoma and decided to order from this restaurant based on the reviews. We ordered to go and the food was delicious! Everything reminded us of our parents traditional Cambodian cooking and we will definitely stop by again when we are back in town!

I like the Loc Lac and bubble tea. The issues I’ve had are that they seem to be out of items occasionally and they always run out of my preferred bubble tea flavors.
I only really stop in if I’m in the mood for loc lac since it’s pretty good

I’m honestly surprised to have found a Cambodian restaurant out in Tacoma since I’m only here on vacation from California so to my delight, everything we ordered was delicious & definitely authentic, almost as great as mom’s home cooking!
Our server (knowing we were from out of town), was very attentive, made sure we were having a good dining experience and was very welcoming.
Overall, my tummy is satisfied so I’d most definitely come back to eat here the next time I’m in town again :)

This place was recommended to me by a local chef, so of course I listened, and came on down. The first few visits were good, it does feel a little run down, cluttered, and if you look into the kitchen, it looks a bit unkept, and dirty, but it’s ethnic food, not a 5 star dinning experience, so we just went with it.
I love the food, and even though it seems run down, we’ve never gotten sick from eating here, so that’s always a good thing.
I took my boys in here not to long ago for lunch. I wasn’t offered a lunch menu, and so it was almost $ 40 for lunch, and although not bad, it was still a little high for lunch.
My son ordered a Thai tea, and it was SO SMALL, and they filled it ALL the way with ice, and still charged me about $ 4 for it, I felt so ripped off on that one.
The food was pretty good, but it just seemed to be a little higher priced, especially for the location.
I think this place is good for dining Dutch, but not so good for groups of people, unless you want to order a few dishes and share.
I would’ve given this place 5 stars when we fist started to come, but not so much anymore.

Cambodian style Pad Thai is the best! The Cambodian style chitterlings with the fish sauce is so good. I prefer mine fried extra crispy. Still wish I could eat it with some sticky rice though.

The food is delicious and authentic. Not many Cambodian restaurants around, so you’ll get to try some food you usually won’t get to try often. I like to order their Basil Fried Rice. Sometimes they make it very great with perfect spiciness, and sometimes it’s not as great and not as spicy. Their egg rolls are good, and so is their Stir-​Fried Green Beans with Seafood. Their other stir-​frys are also good. And the owners and staff are really friendly.

Maybe because of the location, the reviews are raving but for what it is I have had better.
The interior is standard, a little run down with random displaced pictures and plants. All in all, t he service was ok but the cook was sitting around in the dining area and was very agressive in his suggestions for what to order. I got the pineapple fried rice, based on reviews. It was ok. Nothing screamed out at me, in a bad or good way.
I’d never go out of my way to go here (as I did for the inital taste test) but I would stop by if I was shopping directly in the vacinity (as in parking lot) of Mitapeap. Otherwise, I’d rather hit a drive thru.
