Num Pang Kitchen

Between Union Square and Greenwich Village, Num Pang Kitchen offers a slice of Cambodian cuisine in a neighborhood better known for its coffee shops and bookstores. The spot fits naturally along East 12th Street, where foot traffic blends students, office workers, and locals grabbing a quick meal. Cambodian restaurants remain rare enough in Manhattan that each one carries its own distinct presence—here, the menu spans lunch, dinner, and dessert without leaning into fusion trends.

Takeout and dine-in options keep things flexible, whether it’s a midday sandwich or an evening plate paired with coffee. The address, 28 E 12th St New York, NY 10003, places it steps from Fifth Avenue’s hustle but far enough to avoid the tourist crush. For those who prefer to call ahead, the number is (646) 791-0439—useful for checking on dessert availability or larger orders.

Directions are simplest via the map listing, which pins the location between Broadway and University Place. Cambodian food in this part of the city doesn’t always get the same spotlight as Thai or Vietnamese, but the kitchen’s approach—straightforward, without over-explaining—lets the dishes stand on their own.
