It's Phnom Penh Noodle Restaurant at 1644 Cherry Ave. Here's what Jason La at the Times had to say:
"On the outside, Phnom Penh looks like a house. On the inside, it looks like your Asian mom's kitchen. In short, this isn't a typical restaurant. The Spartan menu consists of noodle soups (beef and meatball, seafood, Phnom Penh and beef stew), rice porridge soups (chicken, pork and fish) and stir-fried noodles. If you want to sample soups, buy a child-size serving ($3.50). Their regular serving ($5) is enough for a meal." And HERE is a link to their YELP page (4 stars!).
Open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Closed Monday.
Please let the rest of us know if you have been to any of the places in the article, especially if you liked them. Also, please feel free to recommend other low low cost places to eat nearby. Here's a place I like:
I found out about El Taco Loco numero tres a few years ago when various food celebrities were asked to name their favorite taco places in the L.A. area. Of course, most of the recommendations were in East L.A. But one of the foodies was L.A. Times food editor Russ Parsons, who happens to live near me on Long Beach's westside. He sang the praises of El Taco Loco's many tacos, such as my favorite Al Pastor, as well as more exotic fare (at least exotic to me) like Tripa, Lengua, Cabeza--even Sesos. They also make fresh juices, and there's always a lady behind the counter making fresh tortillas. I don't recommend going after dark (when it can be a little scary) or on Sunday, when the after-church crowds fill the place. Just be sure to know your numeros en Espanol, so you'll know when your order is being called for pick-up.
It's at 1465 Magnolia Ave in Long Beach (between PCH and Anaheim). HERE is a link to their YELP page (4 stars!).
