yummy af - Edit
a great way to experience khmer food as a vegan. to be fair we never had regular khmer food so no idea if it‘s accurate but it tastes great. if you order tea, remember it‘s a whole pot (we had a total of 2x0,5l tea pot)

Not the best - Edit
We had the green curry and the lotcha. Both tasted a bit plain and we used a lot of extra spice. The tofu (you have to order extra and pay extra) was extremely dry. The meaty mushrooms where pretty nice and the passion soda was really good and not to sweet. Overall not bad, but not special.

Delicious and cosy ambience🌞 - Edit
The food was delicious. We tried the Tropical Bowl, the English breakfast and the chickpea burger again in the evening. Everything was very tasty. The portions are not huge, but really not small either. Even if you eat a lot, you'll be full :).
Read moreThe sweet drinks (cocoa, Oreo milk shake, caramel frappe, passion fruit soda ) were all very lightly sweetened by European standards. When we asked for sugar, we were given a mini blob of agave syrup... it still wasn't sweet enough for us😂
All in all, it's a great restaurant with delicious vegan food and a great, cool atmosphere :)🤘🏽

Disappointing quality - Edit
I was excited to try this place, but very disappointed with the food.
Read moreI started with the pho, which I had a minute long conversation about asking for no mushrooms and extra vegetables. It came out a little too fast and the noodles hadn't fully cooked, so I had to let it sit for a few minutes. There was fake meat on top (no mention of this in the menu). They did leave out mushrooms, but there were no extra vegetables. It was only some bean sprouts and a few spring onions. There were a few pieces of tofu that seemed to have been frozen, but not properly rehydrated. There's nothing novel or creative about this, it's just basic noodle soup you could get anywhere, and a poor version of it.
Next I tried the tropical smoothie bowl. It seems they just put a frozen smoothie concentrate in a bowl and put fruit on top. First, if you're not going to make fresh smoothies with real fruit, don't sell them. Second, it was gross.
I don't know the motivation behind this place, but I think they've lost their way.

Good cambodian food - Edit
The place was cute and I liked that they were proud to be vegan (some places prefer hide to be all vegan). There were many dishes to choose, western and cambodian. We decided to choose cambodian dishes: red curry, amok, latcha and cambodian version of pad thai. I had the amok and it was delicious! My friends didn’t like their foods so much but I tasted them and they were ok in my opinion. The staff was little bit in rush so they forgot some of our orders (drinks) but we didn’t pay the forgotten drinks at the end so it was ok.

Not my cup of tea - Edit
Unfortunately I might have caught them on a bad day, but I really didn't enjoy the food here. I had the Khmer curry which was very watery and the Oreo milkshake which just tasted of pure coconut milk from a can which generally makes me feel sick so I couldn't drink it. My partner liked his iced chai (not sweet) and amok curry. The interior is really lovely though and there is a vegan hostel on top.

Very nice and a lot of it - Edit
A very good feel to the place and very relaxed. I had mixed veg rice which came with a soup. Also had the ginger tea. came to $6. I thought it was tasty and there was a lot of it. The customer at the table next door had the burrito- which looked very nice and again a lot of it. My favourite place in Phnom Penh so far

Food is ok, some days better than others. - Edit
We have been there several times and the quality is uneven, depending on the day. We thought the hamburger was delicious, but the last time we ate it, it was bland, the fries were oily and soft. The same with the burrito that came with a pico de gallo with old tomato. I guess it's a matter of luck! Staff is lovely and the place is cozy.

Simple but pretty good - Edit
We ate here a few times at different meal times. The atmosphere has a rustic feel and staff were lovely. On the first visit i accidentally over-ordered and we ended up with chicken rice, cheeseburger, tortilla chips and dip and fries. The burger and rice were very nice, as were the chips and dip, but the fries were limp and unappetising. We came for breakfast and I ordered muesli , which turned out to be fresh fruit sprinkled with a few oats and sunflower and pumpkin seeds: nice but not what I expected. For another breakfast I tried their avo toast and it was absolutely delicious: tangy and sharp with red onion, and sunflower seeds for contrasting texture. At dinner time I tried the Khmer green curry (twice), not spicy but tasty, more savoury than sweet; and the very nice kuy teav cha, a noodle dish with lime, crushed peanuts, bean sprouts and scrambled tofu. A new dish for me, it was less sweet and with more vegetables than a pad Thai, and delicious. We grabbed a BLT and a burrito to take with us when we left Phnom Penh, both nice, the BLT excellent. An essential stop for vegans in PP. #Veganuary

Great vegan Cambodian food - Edit
We stayed here for a couple of nights and ate all our meals here because it was nice to get vegan Cambodian food. Our favourites were the red curry and the noodles like pad Thai.

Amazing vegan food! - Edit
I’ve stayed here in October for a few days and I really enjoyed their vegan food! Everything is vegan, which is so easy.😊 The vegan curry, the avocado toast and the pad thai were really nice. The muesli yoghurt with fruit was not good. There was barely any yoghurt or muesli.

Vegan pho 👌 - Edit
All the food I have tried from Sacred Lotus has been good, but had to leave this five star rating purely for the vegan pho, which absolutely hits the spot if you’re craving the authentic flavour 💯

Great Restaurant & Hostel experience - Edit
While searching for Cambodia accommodations online, it made perfect sense to choose the only "vegan hostel" in Phnom Penh! A restaurant on the main floor sealed the deal. I'm so glad I did! I was a 5-day hostel guest as well as a daily diner. The staff was ever-friendly and helpful, and I was able to try a variety of dishes during my stay. Less than a city block away is the Russian Market, where I was able to get fruits to enjoy on the restaurant's rooftop lounge!
