Staff very friendly, nice atmosphere - Edit
More upmarket place with super friendly staff. The food was nice enough although not as good as cheaper places we have tried in Phnom Penh. The crème brûlée was particularly good though.

Perfect! - Edit
An elegant venue, a very professionnel and nice staff and great food. I had the opportunity to taste some of the Khmer dishes and they were tasty and beautifully displayed.
Read moreOnly 2 dishes are vegetarian but can be made vegan.

Fine vegan dining - Edit
Orders the amok and creamy dumplings. Both enjoyed our dishes. Finished with creme brûlée which was a 3/5. Good crunchy top but the bulk was a bit tasteless after that.

The vegan creme brûlée!!!! - Edit
Loved the vibe, the staff were so kind and our food was served quickly. We ordered the spring rolls to start and they were really really good, they're very big so you only need one serving for 3-4 people. Our mains were lacking in flavour, no one on the table could finish theirs. We all ordered dessert, the chocolate cake, ice cream and creme brûlée and everyone finished that pretty quickly. Wow, that vegan creme brûlée?! Coming back for that asap. Drinks were also delicious.

Decent Vegan - Edit
We had the three dips to start. Ok but not inspiring. Followed by burger- good and nice fries and salad and noodle soup which my guest enjoyed. We should have ordered a bottle of the very reasonable red as we had 6 glasses between us although why Cambodia insists on serving red wine cold, is beyond me. ( ok with new fresh wines but not so much with bodied clarets). Wait staff were polite and attentive but the place was almost empty on a Tuesday night. They also stayed open a little late so we could finish our wine. #Veganuary

Fantastic! - Edit
The service, the ambience, the price and most importantly the food. The place is fantastic, rivals any high end vegan restaurant in any major city in the world. The omnivore I was with did not want to eat at a vegan restaurant but ultimately relented and said it was one of the best meals he had while traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia. I had the Chinese dumplings, the amok and creme brulee for dessert. All highly recommended. The creme brulee was cirtus coconut flavored and very light, different, but I loved it. A not to miss restaurant when in Phenom Penh!

Not good not bad - Edit
Not really sure how to feel about this place. Had the ramen that honestly was very flavorful and a good portion, but I just didn’t like the flavors of it.. I will never be friends with cilantro. I also had the dumplings in creamy mushroom sauce, and once again it was good and flavorful, but the sauce was too sweet and i really didn’t enjoy that.. my partner had the fish n chips and he very much enjoyed those!
Read moreAnd then there’s the staff.. super friendly, but my partner and I are the types of people who go out to eat just for the eating part, and our waiter really wanted to chat.. so just be prepared.
It was good, but we had expected or hoped for more 😊

Beautiful food and a delicious, creamy, vegan Amok - Edit
We ate at Element for lunch one day and couldn't believe how tasty this food was, and how incredibly beautiful the dishes were too. We felt really fancy eating here, but the prices weren't super high for the standard of the food - this would be so incredibly expensive somewhere else in the world! The service was amazing, and the Amok here was some of the best we tried in all of Cambodia.

Satisfactory - Edit
I had the curry which was cool. The portion size was a bit small for the price. It didn't have to be super big just a tad bit bigger. The flavors were nice can't complain.

Almost there! - Edit
The portion sizes are good, service is very nice and atmosphere is modern and industrial, with a fancy feeling.
Read moreUnfortunately it didn't quite go all the way.
We started with fried springrolls, which unfortunately were a bit underseasoned with a monotonous filling.
My girlfriend had fish and chips and enjoyed it, only asked for salt and more lime to enhance the flavour.
I ordered the white wine dumplings. The dumplings were delicious, but unfortunately the cream had split - this of course doesnt affect the flavour but for the price you would expect it to be cooked correctly. It also needed a lot of salt to have any flavour, didnt taste much of wine.
The creme brulee was lovely although a bit over-torched so the sugar was burnt. My girlfriend enjoyed the chocolate cake.
All in all, it is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're not scared of conflict - because I am sure they would get you new dishes if you told them!

Superb - Edit
The food hear was so good, we went back for a second night. The burger was superb and the deserts were excellent. They clearly take time over their food and the effort that goes in to it. Unlike another reviewer, we found the portion sizes to be spot on. #Veganuary
Read morePros: Innovative menu, Great ambience for PP, Deserts - you could not differentiate from dairy

Sadly, we were disappointed - Edit
The place and staff are nice enough, but it's very expensive, and portions are small. We were the only customers but still food was slow to be served. The cafe latte had milk that tasted like it was from a can - not good. The credit card machine was not working, either.
Read moreQuite disappointed, and overall I can't recommend it. I rarely say that.
Pros: All Veg'n, Place and staff were nice

Delicious and very attractive. - Edit
A lot of work goes into their preparations, everything I ate tasted great. It would be nice to go with 4 or more to try all the dishes. It’s not easy to do a sampler plate when the presentation and the plate are part of the dish. Delicious
