Battambong BBQ

I've been following this pitmaster since he started. I finally got the opportunity to go and experience this magic. Follow him on social media to find out where he is for the day. This is a pop up location. There are several different kinds of meats, but we got ribs, pork belly and Cambodian sausage. I've never had Cambodian sausage before, but it was really tasty. The outside had a nice crispy snap to it. It was very good.The pork belly was amazing. Great semi sweet sauce. Grilled to perfection. The ribs were awesome, perfect consistency, pulled off the bone nicely. Very tender. The meals came with:garlic noodles, very yumCambodian corn, I'm not sure what was in it, but it was good. Pickled slaw- And I love pickled anything. And it came with like a pickled spicy jalapeño slaw. I could eat this by the gallon. This was delicious. I sampled the brisket and omg. So good. We'll be back.

I finally got to try Battambong Bob's Battambong BBQ dishesSince this was that the Khmer festival, we got:Combo plate- Two item combo: $35-- Twako-- Smoked tri tip-- Garlic noodles-- Cambodian slaw-- Cambodian-style coconut cream-- BBQ sauce- Two item combo: $35-- Smoked brisket, -- Pulled pork-- Garlic noodles-- Cambodian slaw-- Cambodian-style coconut cream-- BBQ sauceI loved the twako (Khmer sausage) - it's something I grew up with; it was so flavourful and well-made.The smoked tri trip and brisket were good; I loved the Kampot peppers that were used.While the slaw and garlic noodles weren't my thing, I loved the coconut corn - it reminded me of the burn whole corn I grew up eating in Phnom Penh by the riverside - with fish sauce, coconut cream, and spring onions.- Long Beach Nachos: Pulled pork served on crunchy corn nachos with smoked cheddar cheese, smoked Cambodian-style coconut cream, choice of smoked meats, Battambong BBQ sauce, aioli, Mexican creme, tapatio sauce, guacamole, jalapanos, pickles, and hot peppers. $15I wasn't a big fan of nachos because the cheese wasn't melted throughout, instead it formed a top layer with the nachos underneath. It did have a decent portion of meat, so I'll give them that.Orders took a while, but given this was a festival, I can understand why. The one star of fis for pricing and options - the spare ribs were sold out 2 hours into a 6 hour event, which was disappointing.I'd probably come back and try them when they're at the brewery again.

I really wanted to like this place. I have always supported the BBQ places at Smorgasburg (Moo's, Smokequeen, etc). I have been to Austin, Houston and have had many great BBQs there including Franklins. I must say, this place was disappointing.First, you can see from the photo I took the first thing you see is the slice of brisket which is like 80% fat. Bro, why even serve that to a customer that is paying premium for brisket? No one is trying to get a bit of 100% fat. Anyway, besides that, it was underseasoned which was a shocker to me. The chicken was mid and the sausage was ok.

I finally had the pleasure of trying this bbq. I went to a pop up in Cerritos Rice String Noodle restaurant last December, but the line was just too long, so I didn't get to taste what all the hype was about. I saw he was doing a pop up in an event not too far from my home, so I took the chance of going...and now I see what the hype was about! I ordered the combo brisket and chicken plate, the sliders, and the sandwich. Everything was so tender and flavorful! My favorite was the sliders! I am pretty sensitive to spice, but it had the perfect amount of kick to it. I'm so glad I was able to try it, and it for sure won't be my last time.

I had a little taster at a Cal Heights neighborhood event, and need to have more! The pulled pork was delicious, but I want to try his ribs. One of these days, I'll get out of work on a Thursday and find him at the local farmers market.

As a slightly unexpected review for this page-I actually had my first Battambong experience at Coachella! They were a vendor in the food hall, and while I had thought I would be getting tacos, the moment I saw the words "ribs" on their menu I knew what my body which had already walked a mere 8 miles in the festival that day needed. Ribs are love, ribs are life, and these ones did not miss. Only slightly hallucinating, I asked the staff for help deciding how many ribs I should get. The worker was so kind, and helped make my Coachella experience that much better. Next thing you know, I'm sitting down facing the most beautiful meat I believe I have ever laid eyes on. Batta-bing batta-boong, the ribs were inhaled and I felt alive again. The meat fell off the bone, and their side of coconut corn was intriguing and also delish. Feeling grateful for ribs and Battambong as a whole.

I was really excited to try Cambodian bbq at Smorgasburg from watching all the tiktoks, but unfortunately I was disappointed. The cashier and workers were super friendly and gave me extra banana peppers and pickles. My friends and I got the 3 meat platter including smoked brisket, smoked tri-tip, and twako (Cambodian sausage) for $40. Tri-tip was so dry that I literally could not swallow. There was absolutely no fat on it as you can tell from my picture. The sausage was pretty good, very flavorful but the casing was a tad chewy. The brisket was the saving grace for sure, very juicy and tender. Definitely one of the better briskets I've had! To be honest, the sides were mediocre. Corn looks and was very plain, pickled veggies were refreshing, and garlic noodles were super garlicky but a little dry (lacking slurp-ability). The classic barbecue sauce was delish, and the spicy one was actually spicy!Overall, I had an OK experience. I would go again to try the spare ribs and get the brisket again. The brisket and sauce deserves a 5, but the tri-tip was so tough and deserves a 1... I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the dine-in restaurant will probably serve better food.

Brisket is good, but too fat 2/5Tri-Tip is too dry, so hard to swallow 1/5Cost was $40 with tips.Service was quick. 5/5Garlic noodles and corn were okay. 4/5. Not salty.

I have been craving for good BBQ. We stopped by a a local farmers market, and found this Texas Cambodian BBQ. The amazing aroma was irresistible. I ordered the brisket, pork belly, and pulled pork. This is one of the best BBQ I have ever had in Southern California! The meat was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. The pork belly was crispy on the outside, and it was not oily! It came with garlic noodles, sweet corn, and coleslaw. The garlic noodle was a little dry, but not a deal breaker. The sweet corn was tasty. The coleslaw was a bit sour, which balance out all the meat I had. I will come back for more BBQ for sure. Street parking is available. There was also live music at the farmers market.

Tried Battambang BBQ at a local brewery. Tried the tri tip, brisket and sausage. All were soo good. The sides it comes with pair so well, I had the mac , pickled vegetables and corn. Cant wait until it's Friday again to come back.
