Yummy, Must-Try - Edit
Great place with a great mission. Several veggie options (most of which are vegan). The Vegetarian Amok and the Khmer Curry with Dumplings are both awesome.
Pros: Good mission, Excellent quality food, Good location and atmosphere
Cons: Can't think of any

Simply lovely - Edit
A great place to eat with non-vegetarian friends. The veggie options are numerous and really scrummy. They're not the usual Khmer fare with meat substitutes but stand on their own. I ate Jeow Mak, a grilled aubergine and chilli dip with crusty baguette, Tak Kroeng, mushroom pate with cumin, then a mouth-watering pumpkin amok... and I'm going back tomorrow. Plus you eat for a very good cause and the staff are delightful.
Pros: excellent food, really, great staff, you can get the recipes

not as good as sandan :( - Edit
This place does tapas. There were several options for veg and vegan. We tried the ricotta balls - pretty good. A salad - which I think was the best salad I have ever had. The hummus on wonton chips - ok. Our big disappointment was the eggplant spread - which ended up having mayo in it - not on the menu :( we couldn't eat it AND even though we explained that mayo should be a listed ingredient, they didn't take the item off our bill. We weren't happy :(
Pros: creative non-Asian food , fun atmosphere - art, music, colour, outdoor seating
Cons: menu items with non-veg items not listed , items are pre-made so no changes can be made

Lorenzo FV 29 May 2015 - I do not recognise the dishes you mention. Are you sure you ate there? It's entirely Khmer food, excellent Khmer food at that. No ricotta or mayonnaise in sight.

Good food and a great cause - Edit
At about $5 per menu item, this is more expensive than many other veg options in the city. However, the food is great, the portion sizes are large, and it feels nice helping former street kids. If you like lemongrass, you should love the "fresh garden vegetable sauteed with lemongrass and spicy basil" on the vegetarian section of the menu.
Pros: excellent food, trains former street kids, nice vibe
Cons: more expensive than other options
