Angkor Chef is one of the pan-asian restaurants listed in San Jose, California. The business is registered at 86 S 1st St, San Jose, CA 95113; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In San Jose, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. Typical hours are 11:30 am–3 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Angkor Chef at (408) 809-1639; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, angkorchef.com.
