Angkor Grill Cambodian Bistro - 1319 Park Street Alameda, CA 94501 (510) 522-8899

September 22, 2012 – Today six of us biked over to Park Street to visit Angkor Grill Cambodian Bistro. We were so psyched to see the Miss Alameda Says “Compost!” certificate at the front desk! We asked Ricky, the proprietor, how the recycling and compost program was going and he said it was great. They are recycling all of their cardboard and cans and bottles and participating in the food scrap program. Yay!

We had been to Angkor Grill before and knew that the food would be awesome plus we know Kayla, one of the wait staff (although we didn’t see her - we came at 11:30 and her shift started at 5:30). We had:

• Chicken Salad – which was complimentary because we visited on “Park Street Customer Appreciation Day.” Greta and Vera give it “5 out of 5 stars because it was amazing: juicy pieces of chicken, shredded cabbage and carrots with a sweet and sour dressing.”
• Marinated BBQ Chicken – Vera says, “I give it a 10 out of 5. I liked the BBQ taste and it wasn’t too spicy.”
• Tofu with Crispy Green Beans + Scallops and Shrimp with Asparagus – both really amazing dishes. The sauce is similar on both, red, rich and wonderful with house-made chili sauce.
• Smoky Eggplant – with pork and shrimp. The meat eaters in our group thought it was very good.
• Garlic Noodles – We ordered it without meat. Vera says, “I loved the garlic noodles. I would give it a 100 out of 5 stars. I like the type of noodles that they have (egg noodles).”
• Coconut Rice – Greta says, “I loved the coconut rice. It was nice and warm and I loved the flavor. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.”
• Brown Rice – Greta says, “ I loved the brown rice because I loved the taste. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.”

Compost Report—Angkor Grill is recycling and composting really well. We were happy to thank them for diverting 71 tons of waste from landfill annually and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 5 tons per year through recycling and composting.

Please visit Angkor Grill, have some really amazing Cambodian food, and say, “hi” to Ricky and Kayla and thank them for recycling and composting!
