Kampuchea is a great place to go for a low key dinner (you have to be comfortable sitting on stools) with high intensity flavors that are well put together. Plus, the service is friendly and the price is (on the whole) reasonable for the area. Definitely try an appetizer or two - we had the tofu salad the other night, and it was great. The pungency and spiciness were tempered by the freshness of the vegetables and clarity of the tofu. Even better was the thai eggplant sandwich - one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, meat or veggie. The eggplant was yielding and delicious, complemented by fresh carrots and cucumber with an amazingly seasoned mayo based sauce on a french-style small baguette that balanced a doughy inside with a satisfying crust. Let's just say my boyfriend and I were fighting over every last crumb.
