Master Critic Review
SREYVEGAN
8.1
A vegan Cambodian kitchen where chef Surray Lor hand-fries plant-based shrimp to order and treats the caramelized pork and nompang like serious craft rather than meat substitutes. The owner-operated model means personal attention at every step, and the $10-20 price point delivers substantial portions of Southeast Asian comfort food that reads as authentic even to omnivores. Best for plant-based eaters who want Khmer flavors without compromise, especially at pop-up events where Srey's presence is the main draw.
Must-Try Dishes:
Caramelized Pork, Pineapple Walnut Shrimp, Nompang (Banh Mi)

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual dates than romantic ones. This is a small-format vegan Cambodian spot with a warm, friendly atmosphere and beautiful food presentation (dishes come with edible orchid flowers). The focus is on excellent plant-based comfort food rather than intimate ambiance. Good for couples who prioritize great food and conversation over candlelit settings.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - this is a casual, counter-service style operation. No reservations needed. It operates primarily as a pop-up at locations like Vegan Playground in Little Tokyo, so you simply walk up and order. Check their social media for current pop-up locations and hours before heading out.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - explicitly listed as family-friendly with wheelchair-accessible seating and entrances. The casual format and comfort food menu (fried shrimp, pork fried rice, banh mi) appeals to less adventurous eaters. No kids menu confirmed, but portions and flavors work for families. Best for older kids who can handle counter-service ordering.
Is it good for groups? Limited - as a pop-up/food truck operation, seating depends on the venue. Works for small groups of 2-4 who can grab food together, but not ideal for large parties needing dedicated table space. For bigger groups, consider ordering for pickup or catering (they offer catering services).
Is there outdoor seating? Varies by location. When operating at Vegan Playground or outdoor festivals, seating is typically communal outdoor tables at the venue. The brick-and-mortar location on Washington Blvd is currently closed. Check their current pop-up location for specific seating arrangements.
