Our niece recommend the restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. It was a catch up lunch so we were happy that service waited for us to be ready and I am happy to report that when we did order the food was fresh and hot. Can’t wait to enjoy a curry dish.

Located in an obscure strip mall next to a blood bank and Finaddicts pet store, the Golden Damrei caught my eye years ago because of an attractive facade and a friendly conversation I had with the owners while picking up a take out menu. We have done both eat in and take out options and have not been disappointed. The curries are excellent and serving sizes are quite generous. My family likes spice and the GD delivers: if they code a dish with a chilli it WILL be hot; in fact, some dishes with no chillis on the menu are pretty formidable.
Friendly and earnest service and great food make this hole-in-the-wall a winner for us. If you are looking for toned down "Americanized" food, friends tell us that their sweet and sour is excellent, and a friend who lived in Thailand for a decade told me that their Pad Thai is about as good as it gets in this city.

This place is by far the best Cambodian restaurant in Kingston. I lived in southeast asia and you can tell they make their own paste. All of the curries and soups are so delicious. You cannot go wrong with anything you order from here. Amazing portions and qualities and they even get the rice just perfect every time.

Ordered both their spring and fresh rolls, and they were absolutely excellent! Fresh rolls were huge, delish and seemed homemade. Entrees unfortunately were almost entirely rice with just a bit of sauce, which made it disappointing, hard to discern the flavor, and a disappointing experience. Entrees included an average/acceptable amount of protein (shrimp, chicken etc) compared to similar restaurants in Kingston. We ordered take out and noted in-restaurant diners entrees seemed to have lots of sauce, so perhaps it is a takeout issue.

Great service and great food. Very helpful in suggesting a spice level that would match our tastes.
We’ll definitely return.

Simple great food at a reasonable price, not that busy for dine in so quiet and easy to have conversation, clean and well are for but not fancy.
Food and service is very good, surprising attire for the waitress but very pleasant.

This place was good. The restaurant was quiet when we went in and the server was a little slow but the food was delicious. Been trying all the Cambodian/Thai places in town this year and this reminded of my favourite place I had found thus far. Definitely surprised me with the level of spice in one of the milder dishes but I didn't mind. Ambiance was also nice. The only thing that wasn't as appealing was the chicken fresh rolls that had such huge chunks of chicken, taste was great just could have had smaller chunks.

This is the sort of restaurant that you pick protein a, b or c to go with options x, y or z. There are also some Thai standards and a few special dishes. I picked red sauce with chicken. What I got was an acceptable but nothing special red sauce with lots of chicken. No veg of any sort.My husband had ginger chicken which he said was very average. The place is small but the turnover is quite quick.

I started going here years ago shortly after it first opened and I have yet to find better curry anywhere in the world. I have converted so many of my friends to this restaurant, the food is amazing, the staff are great, and the atmosphere is fresh and clean and welcoming. 100% my favourite restaurant.

Stopped by here on the way to Toronto. Seemed like a nice little joint and the staff were super friendly. Food came quickly which was nice. Unfortunately the dish I ordered was sub par. I ordered the pad Thai and it would probably be one of my least enjoyed pad Thais I’ve ever had. If it was called rice noodle dish with gravy I probably would have enjoyed it more because my expectation would be different. Aside from that the experience was nice.

My daughter and I discovered this tiny restaurant, and we were delighted by the delicious food. We had the Aspara Noodles with shrimp, and "Number one" Red Curry. They were both delicious, and between us we couldn't finish, so we took the leftover noodles home. They were even delicious cold!
