a Beloved Cambodian Dish

Kuy Teav Phnom Penh

Kuy teav Phnom Penh (pronounced kuy-TYEW pe-NOM pen) is a classic Cambodian noodle soup with origins in Teochew Chinese cuisine. The term kuy teav comes from the Teochew language, meaning “noodle,” while Phnom Penh is the name of Cambodia’s capital city. Traditionally enjoyed as a breakfast dish, this comforting bowl carries the legacy of cultural exchange between the Teochew people and Cambodians, and has become a beloved staple throughout Southeast Asia.

Fun Fact: kuy teav can be found in other Southeast cultures such as Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese.

Who Are We

Our Mission

Heng Seng Noodles was founded to serve soulful Cambodian-Teochew comfort food that celebrates our family roots, preserves authentic flavors, and brings joy to every table. Our menu is a personal reflection of family recipes, childhood memories, and the community we serve.

Where It Started

Our Story

At Heng Seng, our story is rooted in tradition, family, and the comfort of a warm meal shared together. We were inspired by our immigrant parents, who put in their all into Heng Seng Restaurant in South Philadelphia. Their dedication, grit, and love shaped not just a restaurant—but a third place for the community.

This new location is a continuation of that story, opened by the next generation of the Huong family—Sarah, Annie, and Lange. We’re here to honor what our parents built while adding our own flavor, shaped by the experiences and dreams of a new generation. It’s still the food we grew up with, just told through our lens—with the same heart, and a few new stories to share.
