Me and my co-worker was stopping by Lowell for some Asian’s food. We stopped by Kao’s kitchen to try it out. Food was amazing, we ordered the Pad Thai Shrimp and Fried Chicken with yellow rice. The portion was big and the seasoning was really tasty. We also tried their Thai Iced Tea (we loved it). Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Everything is made fresh, the food is so flavorful, big servings, amazing service… so grateful this new restaurant is right down the street from us-such a great addition to Lowell. We got the coconut sour soup, fresh spring rolls, an off menu item fish curry noodle soup… and we couldn’t leave with out the pumpkin coconut desserts. Can’t recommend this spot enough!

This is an awesome, family run restaurant with traditional Cambodian cuisine. It is in a small strip mall with a very clean dining room. Take-out is also an option but since we are traveling it was more convenient to eat in. The service was great. She was very friendly and was so patient with our questions about the menu. We tried spring rolls, chicken/veggie stir fry and Som-Lor M’ju Kreung soup. We also had a yummy pumpkin, coconut milk, coconut dessert. Highly recommend.

First time trying Kao's kitchen, we wanted Cambodian food, but I didn't have time to cook today, so we ordered out at Kao's kitchen restaurant for the first time. We ordered num ansom chrouk and Cha Kroeung Sach Moan. Oh my God, both were so delicious and flavorful. I finished all my food. Lol. If you are in the area, please don't forget to stop by Kao's restaurant if you're looking to try Cambodian cuisine. You won't be disappointed. I will be back to order more dishes when I don't have time to cook. This review is based on takeout. 10/10 food is really flavorful. It reminded me of my mom and dad cooking back home. It just brought back memories.
