I have eaten there about every few weeks over the past year. This is the best moderately priced restaurant in Woodstock. I find the food tasty, spiced right to your choice, and promptly served. This is a little local treasure.

The first thing you notice at this Asian restaurant is how clean and neat it is. Not very fancy decor but the lunch I had was excellent. Just a few appetizers consisting of 3 crabmeat rangoon spring rolls and some steamed brown rice, both very good. I chased it down with a papaya smoothie which was thick and delicious. I woul definitely go back for another lunch/dinner. Prices very reasonable.

I really wanted to like the food here. It would be such a treat to have a tasty, conveniently located Cambodian restaurant right in Woodstock. After three tries, I have given up. The food here isn't bad, it just isn't flavorful or interesting....it should be super tasty.

My husband and I are "regulars" at Angkor Wat now, and we can't say enough good things about it. Folks on a gluten-free diet should take special note that this is one of the few reliably Celiac-safe restaurants in the UV. My husband normally has a really hard time eating out because of his gluten intolerance, but Chef Sunny Tuckerman has been a real gastronomical godsend! I'll spend a lot of time writing about the gluten-free aspects of Angkor Wat's menu, but keep in mind - I don't have to eat gluten-free and I love the food just as much as my husband does...

In a town dominated by equal parts bar food and pricey gourmet establishments, Angkor Wat provides a very welcome infusion of affordable, healthy, and delicious Asian cuisine to Woodstock. The lure of Cambodian food was enough to bring us in the first week of its opening, but what keeps us coming back is the great food and absolutely top notch accommodation for Celiacs. Chef/Owner Sunny Tuckerman uses Hoisin sauce or various curries as the base for his meals, so Celiacs need not face the dreaded soy sauce question. Although the menu does not say so, Sunny will tailor any dish to your needs. He’ll substitute rice noodles for Japanese-style wheat noodles, brown rice for the usual white, add veggies or tofu, substitute your choice of meat(s), or make almost any meal vegetarian. And don’t be afraid to ask questions - Sunny regularly comes out to chat with customers, and the servers - who include Sunny’s wife Monica and mother-in-law Sue - are friendly, helpful, and willing to accommodate practically any dietary need.

Since finding out about my husband’s gluten intolerance, Sunny has regularly experimented with new gluten free dishes - and we’ve been the grateful beneficiaries! All of Angkor Wat’s tasty desserts are all gluten free, too, which practically sent my husband into raptures. Sunny makes a variety of fantastic personal-sized cheesecakes with almond and coconut crusts, plus a fancy dessert with fruit and chocolate filled spring roll wrappers topped with ice cream. Yummy!!! Meal prices are extremely reasonable at $10-13.

Here are a few of our favorites:
Appetizers
• Turkey spring roll
• Summer roll w/ mint and basil
• Grilled chicken strips
Entrees
• Vegetarian Stir-Fry Noodles w/ Tofu (ask for rice noodles)
• Ginger Chicken w/ Carrots
• Asian Salad w/ Cellophane Noodles & Peanut Sauce
• Khtieau Cambodian Style Rice Noodle Soup
• Khmer Curry Chicken Soup
• Beef Chow Foon w/ “Rice Flake” Noodles
Desserts
• Cheesecake!!! Any variety is delicious, but for something different try the Lemongrass & Thyme. Key Lime, Chocolate Mint, and Ginger are new flavors that Sunny is working on now. We taste-tested two last night - more winners to add to the list!
• For something really unusual and special, try the Dessert Spring Rolls. You can mix and match flavors such as mango, coconut, banana, strawberry, and chocolate. We like to match a Mango w/ a Chocolate & Strawberry.
Specials - CALL AHEAD
• For a really magnificent treat, call a few days ahead and ask if Sunny can cook you his Crispy Ginger Fish. It’s a deep fried whole tilapia coated in a special ginger sauce, with a side of stir-fried veggies. The fish is moist and delicious and the ginger both spicy and sweet. Plus, that big ol’ fish just looks so cool on the plate!
• If you’re going to be in town for a few days, call and BEG Sunny to bake a batch of his gluten-free blueberry muffins. Then BUY THE WHOLE BATCH. I kid you not - these are the best GF muffins we’ve ever eaten, bar none. You’re gonna want to stockpile them in your freezer. He gave us two for breakfast this morning and it took all my husband’s will power not to steal my muffin and scarf it down before I woke up!

A couple of other things that aren't yet on the menu but I think are going to become regularly available are the Curry Burger (on home-baked potato rolls, and with a fabulous side of stir-fried fresh green beans and carrots)and the Asian Steak (I haven't gotten to try it but my husband had it last night and said it was delicious.)

If you love the dishes and want to try some at home, Angkor Wat also has a small “Deli” section where you can pick up Asian staples. We highly recommend the Rice Flake noodles! Cook them “al dente” and stir-fry them in a little peanut or canola oil, wheat-free tamari, ginger, and garlic until they are slightly browned. Set them aside and then stir-fry the rest of your ingredients. Mix everything together just before serving. This is a real treat if you are used to serving your stir-fries on top of rice. (It does, of course, up the calories, but it is oooooh so good!!)

Sunny can also do special “family style” servings and pricing for big groups. He cooks buffet-style dishes for meetings, and he will also bake custom desserts for special occasions. If you can’t host your next big event in Woodstock, figure out a way for him to ship you a cheesecake. It’d be worth it.

Angkor Wat is located along Route 4 on the eastern fringes of Woodstock Village, which means that many travelers don’t bother to stop in. However, most folks don’t realize how easy it is to walk to the edge of town. Angkor Wat is an easy 10 minute stroll from the center of town along sidewalks the whole way. (A real joy when all the fruit trees and lilacs are in bloom.) Angkor Wat also has ample free parking behind the restaurant - a real rarity around Woodstock.

And hey, if you make it to Angkor Wat on a Friday evening, look for us - in all likelihood we’ll be there!
