About Heng Heng Restaurant
Heng Heng Restaurant brings the distinctive flavours of Khmer cooking to Richmond, occupying a characterful spot on Sheen Road. Serving both lunch and dinner across most of the week, it operates from within a pub setting that adds an easy, convivial atmosphere to the dining experience. Cambodian dishes such as Khmer noodles sit at the heart of the menu, offering something genuinely different from the more familiar Asian cuisines found elsewhere in the borough. It is an intimate, unpretentious neighbourhood restaurant that has earned a strong reputation among local diners.
Local area
Sheen Road connects Richmond town centre towards East Sheen, running through a stretch that locals travel regularly rather than tourists. Richmond has long supported a thoughtful mix of independent restaurants alongside its pubs, and Heng Heng fits naturally into that tradition. Cambodian cooking remains rare across the whole of south-west London, which gives this small restaurant a distinctive place in the local food scene. For residents who value genuine neighbourhood spots over chain dining, it represents exactly the kind of independent business that gives Richmond its self-sufficient, community-minded character.
Why choose Heng Heng Restaurant
Heng Heng offers something genuinely uncommon: authentic Khmer cooking in a relaxed, informal setting that feels thoroughly Richmond rather than imported. The pub surroundings keep things friendly and unfussy, while the kitchen clearly takes the food seriously. Opening hours are generous across the week, with lunchtime service available from Wednesday through Sunday and evening sittings running most nights. For residents who prefer a smaller, personally run restaurant over a busy high-street chain, this is exactly the kind of place worth knowing about — particularly on a quiet midweek evening.
