...

firstly, this place isn't completely vegan as a couple of the dishes (almost pointlessly) come with a fried egg on top...
..but otherwise it is about 90% vegan and really really tasty, cheap and the portion sizes are good. the soups are huge, even for our greedy bellies. i would highly recommend the dumpling soup too, totally delicious. the owner was lovely too; we wanted some food to take away after our meal for our train journey the next day and she offered to sell us packets of mock meat/fish to make into sandwiches. you should ask to see them, one actually looks like a whole fish!! weird.
she mentioned that they also cater for weddings and showed us some pictures which looked amazing, incase you're planning on getting married in that area!

Pros: tasty, good portions, cheap

Cons: none

Delicious vegan food

We ordered (as only ordering was possible) the Pumpkin Ravioli and the Vegetable Pizza and it was delicious. Especially the pumpkin ravioli were very tasty. I just hoped the portions would have been a bit bigger!

Pros: Nice vegan food

Cons: Serves animal food, Portions could be bigger

The portions are a joke. 2.50 for a kids meal

I've been here before and the portions were always small so I'd order 2 or 3 dishes.

But now they've double the prices so everything is a minimum of 2 to 3 dollars but the portions stayed the same.

So...​Kind of super disappointing.
Last time coming here sadly

Cons: Expensive for what you get

Cheap vegetarian food, many vegan options

The food is very cheap, some portions are small-ish so we got a main and then a side of dumplings or fried seitan. The spicy soup in particular was very good.

👍

Staff was knowledgeable about what items had animal products and what didn't. I got the deep fried seitan ($1.5) and the curry fried rice($2). The rice was probably enough to be a full meal, as it comes with tofu, but I didn't know that. Very cheap compared to western prices. Attentive staff. They give everyone tea and a clear broth soup. Food came out really quick

Pros: Lots of meat alternatives, Knowledgeable on veganism, Cheap

Highly recommend!

Nice place

The gyozas had a good texture but were a bit bland, the Khmer noodles with lemon sauce were nice although I couldn't taste the lemon. They could use a bit more spices in everything...
The portions are quite small but it's really cheap so you can try different dishes. The staff is super friendly.

Very good place

I can only recommend this place. A few special mock meats that you can't find everywhere in asia. We've had noodels with vegan pork and loved it.
The prices are very cheap (about 2$ per serving)
Would surely come back :)

Pros: Many options

Only mock meats

Really disappointed when we saw the menu. Almost every dish contains mock meat and there are not a lot of vegetables dishes. We ordered a soup but we only had one little piece of vegetables. Moreover it wasn't tasty at all we had to add pepper and chili sauce. We ordered taro dumplings and they were really good.
So we think this place is really cool and cheap for big fan of mock meat but when you want a healthy dish it's clearly not the best place.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Too much mock meat, A few vegetables

Sample many dishes!

Affordable and great for sampling different dishes. If you get fried rice, make sure to get pineapples with it. The spicy soup is 🌶 - I couldn’t even drink it. Loved the morning glory and the noodles were decent. Not amazing but cheap and you have a variety of veg dishes to try based on your mood.

Great food and really cheap

The food was great and very cheap but you will need 2 dishes if you are really hungry. Also the place is not very comfy.

Good good, cheap prices, poor customer service

Had an early start so went here for breakfast, got there just after 630 - the lady shoo'd me away, told me they were closed. Looked at the time on my phone and their opening hours on the door - both said 630, so went away had a coffee and came back.

Tried to order a soy milk coffee, same lady told me they couldn't do that, despite having a soy milk iced coffee on the menu - they couldn't put it in a hot coffee.. I even used Google translate to be sure, just in case.

Really disappointing as there are plenty of vegan options, it's cheap and the food was good. I'll be looking for somewhere else tomorrow.

Pros: Cheap, Good food

Cons: Poor customer service

Nice dinner

We shared the Khmer noodles with lemon sauce (didn’t taste lemony at all but still quite tasty), gyoza, and the Sunday daily special - BBQ skewers with seitan, pineapple & veggies. Came to USD$7 total, including complimentary tea. Preferred here to Surn Yi, would’ve returned if we had longer in Phnom Penh.

Nice lunch

Small and cosy restaurant, fast service, good food, friendly staff. We choose the week menu (soup, main course, dessert) and this was really good and cheap.
The restaurant is close to the national museum.

Yum & clean eatery

Loved the vegan short rice noodles with mushrooms! I wasn't a fan of the meatballs, i just don't like the texture. They have lots of vegan options to choose from. Clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere.

Pros: Lots of vegan option, Cambodian food

Love this place!

Ate well. Easy to find. Ordered the tempeh dish next to the mushroom dumplings. Mushroom dumplings was bland, but everything else was amazing. Seemed to be good quality food and cheap. Ordered 5 dishes, 2 watermelon juices, three coffees and 1 soy milk cost $16.75

Pros: Lots of vegan options. Just ask for no eggs.

Delicious and Cheap

Had an amazing meal here - the seitan is fantastic and everything is very well flavoured. We left feeling full and spent hardly anything. Would 100% recommend and have nothing bad to say! Definitely try the Taro Dumplings!

Pros: Good value, Extensive menu

Cheap Asian Eatery

Great menu selling cheap Asian dishes with mock meat. Not sure how vegan it is but in terms of vegetarian food you cannot go wrong. Most meals between $2-3. Foods good can't complain at all. Free tea and when we were there we got a free desert as well. Lovely place

Pros: Lots to choose from, Cheap, Free tea

Amazing mock meats

We came here twice during our stay as this place really offers some amazing food for a decent price. They have absolutely loads of mock meat options and they’re all pretty good. The veggie pork is an absolutely must try it’s so delicious and is only $1.50 as a side for a big portion. I got the veggie pork and rice as a main for $2.50 and a side of dumplings to try and both were really tasty.

Pros: Cheap, So many options , Amazing mock meats

Good value piping hot food

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant twice during our stay in Phnom Penh. We intended to try somewhere different on our second night but there were still lots of things on the menu at Evergreen that we wanted to try!

The staff were friendly and it was easy to get their attention. We were given a pot of complimentary Jasmine tea on arrival and ordered a starter and main course each for about $10 in total. Food was piping hot and tasted fresh. There were little caddies of soy sauce and extra hot chilli sauce on the table to add to the dishes of you wanted to. The chili sauce is delicious and not for the faint hearted!

The restaurant uses mock meat in abundance, which some people have commented on negatively. It's easy to order veg on the side if you need a veg fix.

Some people might find that the restaurant lacks atmosphere, as it's a bit quiet and dark. This didn't bother us, as we were looking for somewhere to fill us up after busy days in Phnom Penh and weren't fussed about lighting and sound.

Pros: Piping hot food, Value for money
