Khmer delights

Huge menu with many Khmer dishes, mock meats and burgers. All labelled very clearly and super value. Great place, clearly a PP veggie staple.

Very authentic

There's a really wide selection, and it was super delicious. Besides us, the only people eating there were locals.

Unfriendly staff and bland food

Found the staff member in the front to be quite unfriendly and inhospitable, just sat watching videos on his phone. Handed us a pen to order on a laminated card and that was as far as any service went. We had to turn on the fan ourselves. Also, the only toilet is a squat toilet so may not be accessible for all and there is no sink to wash your hands.

We thought, hopefully the food will make up for it. We ordered fried curry noodles with bean curd, sizzling steak noodle dish and braised v-meat with fried noodles. Unfortunately we found it all to be fairly basic and bland. The braised v-meat itself was the only good thing worth mentioning - that was crispy and tasty! We didn’t eat much of the sizzling steak noodles. They were unpleasantly slimy and tasted of nothing at all. Also ordered 2 passion fruit sodas which were very good!

Such a shame because we’ve had such phenomenal food in Cambodia and this was a real let down in comparison. For similar cost, we have had much nicer food and friendlier service.

Huge choice of Cambodian Vegitarian and Vegan food

I went here on a Sunday afternoon. It's a modest restaurant with a huge selection of dishes to choose from. The menu is also in English and you write down your choices on a little reusable card to place an order. The dishes are great value and a good size. The mango smoothie is super delicious. The restaurant had a steady stream of both tourists and locals. They take contactless payment.

Lot of vegan options

Une grande quantité de plats vg et notamment vegans ! Un plat du groupe un peu trop épicé. De nombreuses protéines veganes. Place agréable. Prix faibles. Plats vegans très facilement identifiables par un petit symbole.

Huge menu and great food

I’m glad we chose here for our first meal in Cambodia. The menu was big and everything is clearly labelled.
The vegetable tofu noodles I had were nice, plus you can pay by card!

Nice!

I love this place. There are a lot of choices which are or can be made vegan, different kind of dishes and it tastes great! I love it that you place the order by writing it down, give at the counter, pay for it and you can go whenever you want. The people were really kind.

Solid vegetarian restaurant near National Museum

Huge menu with all options clearly labeled vegan, vegetarian, or vegetarian can be made vegan. They also have packaged items like noodles, sauces, and meat alternatives available for sale. Food was affordable, quick, and tasty. They also take tap to pay.

Excellent!

They have a MASSIVE menu, most of which is vegan or can be made vegan. I had the crispy veggie steak fried noodles (3usd). Compared to most restaurants around this one is good value for money! They have tofu dishes, veggie dishes and a variety of dishes with different mock meats. Would return!

Tasty vegetarian restaurant that knows vegan

I got the crispy vegan steak fried noodles twice. It was delicious.

My partner got a veggie burger with egg, which she loved. The next day she got the fried rice with egg and mushroom, good too.

Easy, delicious, affordable.

Easy to find, though there are two vegetarian restaurants beside each other with similar frontages, so just check you are at the one you intend to go to.

Order with a menu card, lots to choose from, super obvious what's vegan etc.

I had soup and dumplings, the thick soup was a thick, viscous broth, kinda weird but I'm into it, lots of veggies and various mock meats, the dumplings were not quite boiled long enough so still a little frozen but I finished them off in my piping hot soup.

Soup was a decent portion, very happy.

Staff/owners were nice, there are some products to buy there too, if you want a can of vegan spam.
