Kolap Restaurant

Pretty small,also looks like they have an entertainment area as you sit and look around. Came here once like a 2024. Never tried Cambodian pho before so got their beef noodle soup. It was really different and hard to describe the flavor but it was good in its own way. The main thing I came for was the Lobster dish. That dish was really good to me. Most lobster sauce is overwelming or just didnt fit my palate but this one is just right. U can just scoop some sauce on to the rice and its still amazing. 2nd time I came 2025 i tried the ka theiu and it has a good amount of meat but it taste mainly like fried garlic water. Not sure if that's what its supposed to taste like but that day it did. Forgot to take photos before except one.

loved it so much that i cant wait to go back party of 2, ordered: sour soup, kebabs, and noodle soup SOUR SOUP is a must! it was soul warming and went so well with the heap of rice they served. The kebabs were also super juicy and tasty. The noodle soup was good as well, but average compared to the sour soup!!!! got to talked to the owner a bit and she was awesome.

This modest establishment offers the little-known culinary delights of Khmer (Cambodian) cuisine. The friendly owner, Sophie, is happy to explain the menu of soups, stir fry dishes, and traditional lunch specials. THE item you should order is the incredible Siem Riep soup. It’s from the region famous for the Angor Wat Temple complex. It’s a culinarily delicious and addictive tangy sour soup. Hailed by a New York Times reporter (2016) as the best menu item in the Twin Cities, the soup contains chunks of chicken, pineapple and bitter melon. You can ask for shrimp or tilapia if you prefer. Prices are extremely reasonable. It’s the bomb!

Completely empty during late lunch on a weekday so food arrived quickly. The portions are massive! They had so many diverse dishes as well as some comfort options. Instead of lemonade we got lemon soda and my card was ran without being able to select a tip. This place is easy to pass by but is definitely somewhere to visit for something new.

Amazing restaurant. Had the best rice I have ever eaten, wasn't even fried. Good food seasoned well. Great service The only issue I had was the overhead lights. When ceiling fans are running, it can cause the room to flicker

Being Cambodian myself, I thought the food was just regular Asian food. It tastes really good, but on the really sweet side. Parking was hard to find in the inner roads of St. Paul. The owner talk of her struggles and lost of her family and how her restaurant is still going strong. I felt heartfelt for the food and my culture.

1st time eating here and trying Cambodian food and it was a great experience! Ordered the Siem Reap Sour Soup, Pak Lou, & Lot Chha Hollywood Noodles. Pak Lou and the sambal type sauce that came with it was a winner!!! Haven't seen pig ear on the menu in MN and was missing the flavor and texture. Thiis dish really satisfied my craving. Siem Reap Sour Soup reminded me of a slightly sweeter Sinigang. Lot Chha noodles were tasty with lots of vegetables, shrimp, and squid! Many restaurants out here skimp on the shrimp or have very tiny, kinda fishy shrimps, but these were nice, bouncy, and fresh! Would definitely come back again to try other dishes. The lady taking orders and serving our food was also very friendly. She was kind enough to explain to us what was in the sambal type sauce that came with the Pak Lou because we loved it so much. Even got extra to take home with our leftovers!
