Kampot Kitchen - Preston, Victoria

Outstanding. I had the pork belly num pang and it was really well balanced. Perfect amount of ingredients, the pork cooked tender and moist, the bread roll fluffy and the apple slaw was finely chopped so everything kinda melted in your mouth.

Definitely food from the heart, the service as well. Very courteous.

Just wished I went back to try more items on the trip. Next time.

Delicious baguettes and friendly staff. Bread was toasted perfect, and meat perfectly grilled. The decor of the cafe is relaxing and clean. Would come back again in a heartbeat!

Food here is so damn good! The beef Koh kor is a personal favourite but the nom pang and chips are also damn good I struggle to choose which one to get when I’m there cause I want it all. Staff are amazing too! Highly recommend

SUPERB! Everything was excellent. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. And then the food and coffee - they were DELICIOUS! We had the Cambodian coffee, a flat white, the pulled beef roll, and then pulled pork roll. And particular note for the bread - it deserves its own star. It was light and fluffy with a crisp and crunchy crust.
This experience has left us feeling content and blissfully happy

Love Kampot Kitchen. I've been working through the menu and everything has been delicious. Highly recommend all the baguettes (koh ko and coconut prawn are my personal favourites) and the grilled ginger chicken with rice and the koh ko beef stew are great too. Also love the Cambodian coffee there - perfectly balanced strong/sweet flavours. The staff are also really lovely and attentive. Look forward to visiting again soon!

Kampot Kitchen brings authentic Cambodian-style home cooking to the suburb of Preston. Everything is made from scratch and they make their food fresh to order. I loved walking into this casual eatery on a Sunday morning and seeing friendly Cambodian aunties in the kitchen which reassured me that I was going to be fed well. Their numpang (baguette) is their signature food - think a Cambodian-style Banh Mi. Besides their baguettes they also have skewers, stews, and other sides like wings and chips. The ladies who work here are some of the friendliest I’ve met, I think even if I wasn’t their only customer that morning they still would’ve striked up a conversation like they did. They epitomised warmth.

I opted for their most popular option which ended up being a huge winner. The bread was fresh and flakey but didn’t make a mess and didn’t cut the roof of your mouth. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy and had a balanced aromatic lemongrass flavour to it. The coriander added the perfect sharpness to cut through the nuttiness of the rest of the roll. Even though there was a generous amount of filling, there was little to no drippage which I appreciated as someone who hates messy meals. I also appreciated that although I was so full, it left me feeling good! It wasn’t heavy but still satisfied my hunger.

I highly recommend getting a fresh coconut to drink, it’s so refreshing and the sweetness is a perfect accompaniment to the savoury roll. Plus it’s a great way to cool down in the upcoming heat 🥵

My only regret about my visit is that I didn’t come sooner. I don’t know how I’ll eat a regular banh mi ever again after having this version. What a beautiful establishment with caring staff and a great story behind it. I cannot wait to keep supporting them to try more of their menu, I’m sure it will be as amazing as this was.

This place is just so delicious! We got the tofu baguette and it was perfect. Fresh salad, tasty tofu and incredibly crusty roll. I can’t wait to come back and try everything else! Also the staff are so sweet and very hospitable
