Don't bother, because they clearly aren't - Edit
I don't usually give bad reviews nor am I difficult to please but have a look at the other reviews - the service is bad. A lot of people are saying this. We received no welcome, I smiled directly at the waitress and she just looked back uncomfortably. The passion fruit juice tasted off so we told the waitress about it but she just replied with a "no". OK... Must just be in our heads then!! They didn't sample it or offer to change it, they just didn't care! The food was decent but not mind-blowing, there's so many great restaurants in Phnom Penh, you'd be better of checking them out instead.
Read morePros: Good prices, Cambodian dishes, All vege
Cons: They're not bothered, Don't believe you when you something's wrong, No air conditioning but plenty of fans

poor quality/service - Edit
Disappointing consindering the 4star review. The food was bland and the Vietnamese rolls poorly made. The drinks are watery and didn't have all their ingredients. Our server gave us rude looks as well. Not worth the price. Avoid!

cheap and tasty - Edit
I ate here a dozen of times and I loved almost all the food! The khmer curry was really tasty, I loved the veggie sushi, fresh springrolls and the pho. Service was super fast, but the waiters did not speak good English. Definitely I've of my most favourite places in Phnom Penh!

Eatable - Edit
Nice place and nice staff but the food is just eatable.
Read moreI had the grilled eggplant with peanut and tomato sauce + brown rice (not included in the price), and the veggie samosa, nothing had any flavour...
5,25 dollars for this, I'm quite disappointed.
Don't understand why this place is recommended by Lonely Planet by the way.
Pros: Good place, Nice staff, Clean
Cons: Not tasty, A bit expensive for what it is, Wifi is not working

charming and yummy - Edit
I had a big bowl of the mushroom rice porridge for 2usd and took away samosas (4) for 2usd. Both were nourishing and tasty. The staff was sweet though it was hard to get their attention at times. It seems I arrived after the lunch rush that was filled with locals, monks and a table of foreigners. There is a room of free informative things in the back so this place has my vote for sharing and spreading love. It was clean and a nice place to relax or bring people with wood style tables and chairs. If you get samosas I recommend asking for some chili sauce with it. No AC

No. - Edit
The garden is very nice, but that's all. Food isn't very good, staff is unfriendly. Don't go there after 8pm, because they will let you know that they want to close and you have to hurry up with your tasteless food... ;) Go to The Corn instead. It's just a few minutes from there.

The Review - Edit
A totally average establishment. Bland by name, bland by nature. The food here is not bad: it's totally fine but just absolutely nothing special. It tastes like the sort of thing you could make at least as well yourself if you had access to a kitchen and a herbs & spices cabinet. It was simply MEH'. Fine, but nothing at all to bother making the journey for, and plenty of other better options around the city. (Also, the Lonely Planet reviewer who said they served large portions here must be a single-stomached mouse, rather than a 4-chamber stomached deer. Nothing large about these portions. Like the food itself, the portions were average, at best.)
Read morePros: All veggie
Cons: Bland food, Had run out of lots of things, Not worth the journey

The Vegetarian, Phnom Penh - Edit
They have some very nice food. Too bad it's not all vegan as this place could be a great all vegan resto.
Read moreIf I had time I'd follow up with the Manager to ask if the cheese used is genuinely vegetarian.
Pros: Vegan friendly, Tasty food
Cons: All vegan is always better, Is the cheese genuinely vegetarian?

Good Food, Good Location - Edit
The Vegetarian in Phnom Penh is a great veggie restaurant just minutes away from the Independence Monument. My partner and I went for lunch and order quite a feast! We were happy with all the dishes, the service was super quick and although the restaurant isn't air conditioned, there are plenty of fans to keep you fresh and cool.
Read moreWe ordered:
Malaysian noodle soup - $2.00
Tofu puffs -$2.00
Fried spring rolls - $2.00
Lotus root in cashew cream - $3.00
Fresh spring rolls - $2.00
Highly recommend if you are in the area :)
Pros: Good Location , Fast Service, Fresh Food
Cons: No alcohol served

Relaxing vegan dinner - Edit
I've just had dinner here. The place is very nice: peaceful, quiet, protected by the noisy daily routine of Phnom Penh. Food is good, but not great. I had a few dishes and they tasted all the same (good, but the same). Summer rolls were served with a hot chili sauce (I did not like it). In general, a good dinner: relaxing and good vegan food (two things that one should not take for granted in Cambodia). The only negative thing is the staff: service is slow and inefficient. I hope they will improve it. Price is higher than in the previous reviews.
Read morePros: location, nice relaxing place
Cons: inefficient service

Pleasant food in quiet setting - Edit
Evening meal shared by four of us in late August 2015. We shared a variety of dishes which were all enjoyed, but nothing stood out as great. Service was ok, food was very cheap (abt US$25 incl drinks and one desert), and the place itself, although in a nice garden setting was rather spartan. The only dish worth commenting on was a hot banana in coconut mild desert which was both tasty and plentiful, enough for four. No alcohol available. Staff were keen to close up as 8pm approached
Read morePros: cheap, clean

Ok food, lack of a good service - Edit
Too bad this place is so empty- the place where cafe is is super nice, outside tables surrounded by palm trees. However staff was extremely board and didn't care much about anything. There were about 5 servers and we were the only 2 customers. The staff was sitting chatting, walking arounds and just suuuuper board. Not a good image of vegetarians.. the meals are now more expensive than last reviews - $2.50. Food was good as long as it's not the pasta. Grilled veggy pasta was plain spagetti with a very plain sauce. Fried noodles however were great. Coffee was really good.
Read moreWould highly recommend the owner to retrain staff..
Pros: Great outdoor patio, Fried noodle dishes were good
Cons: Pasta dish too plain, Unprofessional staff

Brilliant place - Edit
This restaurant was in a handy location and although it's tucked away the sign outside was very clear. The food was of amazing quality and very cheap too. We were surrounded by bamboo and the waitresses turned on the fans as soon as we sat down. They had excellent service and were helpful when we asked if things had eggs or diary as my friend is a vegan. Also try the local dessert: Cambodian banana in coconut milk it is unbelievable.
