When: Thursday, May 5,[masked]:30 PM

Where: Phnom Penh Noodle House
660 S King St
Seattle, WA 98104
(206)[masked]

Phnom Penh is a one of Seattle's very few Cambodian restaurants and was started in 1987 by a family of refugees that arrived in Seattle around 1980.

The shop tends to close early (officially the cooks all go home by 8pm), so it would be super-helpful if you get here early or on-time to avoid disappointment, but the prices are nice and reasonable and it's pretty darn good food. Expect about $10-15/person after tax/tip, though perhaps a bit more if you order an avocado shake or some sort of appetizer. You can order separately or share with nearby neighbors, but it's really important to this restaurant to bring cash. They do not have modern credit card processing equipment and it takes extra time for them to handle cards.

This was home to one of our largest meetups ever, a 45-person turnout, and it's definitely worth the effort to get here on time. If you happen to get here a few minutes early, feel no shame in placing your order straightaway.

Light rail and bus access is easy; nearly every bus that goes through downtown, plus the light rail, stop at or close to International District station. Street parking is easiest along Main or some parts of King and Lane, though paid lots are relatively inexpensive here if you run out of options, including a convenient lot just under the I-5 around 8th & King.

I'll do a pre-kai at Kaname. I should be there by 5:45. Come and join me and I'll order a ninniku-gobo fry and edamame to share. (Let me know if you're coming so I can try to save you a seat). I'll walk over to Phnom Penh a few minutes after 7pm.

Nijikai will likely be at some combination of Ft. Ste. George and Maekawa, depending on how many people come.

This Meetup repeats every week on Thursday.
