Situated south of the normal foreigner hangouts. Menu identical to Siem Reap counterpart: Asian focus with burgers, spaghetti, and a large selection of fresh-made drinks. Expect minimal English, and a loyal young clientele of Chinese and Khmer locals. Note that the "special" on the bread menu usually means egg. Previously at St 276, reported moved to new more upscale venue January 2017. NOTE: Reported that egg is used in most dishes, owners do not understand veganism and do not inform correctly about the ingredients of dishes. Open Mon-Sun 8:00am-8:00pm.

Nice atmostphere - Edit
With cozy and friendly atmostphere create this place to be a good choice for you if uou are looking for a decent place for lunch pr dinner. The variety of the food might not be so much but it's good enough to cover local chinese-khmer food and some weatern food like burgers or sandwiches.
Read moreunlike most of local vegitarian restaurant here, the food does not come with a lot of mock meat. But it come with balance of Vegetables, mushroom, tofu, and a little bit of mock meat which Inthink it's good. The menu is in Kmer and English with some explanationnof the food. Price is Good. The waiter can speak a little bit of English.
Pros: Atmostphere, Clean, Service

HIDDEN EGG IN MANY DISHES - Edit
***If you are concerned about having hidden egg in your dishes then don’t eat here. We cannot eat here any more until they label their menu correctly. Egg is used stirred through sauces and in marinades that you would not know***
Read moreOften visit just to eat the mushroom skewers which are insanely delicious....noodle hot plate good also but ask for no egg. They use egg noodles and rice noodles in various dishes so make sure to be clear if you don’t want egg...

Won’t rush back - Edit
I came with my partner who is a meat eater to this restaurant and he enjoyed it more than me! The food was ok and the bbq mushroom skewers made me question around 100 times are these really mushroom! I would highly recommend them!
Read moreGave 3 stars because there was a fly in the curry noodles and they didn’t replace the food.
Pros: Cheap, Meat like substitutes
Cons: Language barrier (especially if you want no egg)

Good food bad service - Edit
Even with a vegan card explaining in Khmer, it was still difficult to get confirmation the dishes were vegan. The mushroom skewers were amazing, the sizzling mapo tofu great too.

Worst veggie option in PP - Edit
Worst experience in Phnom Penh. Unable to offer a vegan salad - or only with vinegar / oil. Staff rude, very poor service.

The best mushroom skewers EVER - Edit
My hubby and I came here because we heard the mushroom skewers were the best ever, and people were not wrong!! We ordered 4x mushroom skewers and it was the best decision we've made in a long time. The skewers were out of this world! They had a delicious, slightly charred and caramelised flavour, fresh from a charcoal grill - the texture was otherworldly! We are becoming more and more amazed at the power of the mighty meaty mushroom! If we knew how to replicate this dish, we would eat it everyday. Even if you come here just for the skewers (like we did), you would be completely satisfied and happy you did.
Read moreWe also ordered the kimchi and tofu fried rice (you have to specify no egg if you're vegan so be aware), which was extremely tasty too. Yum yum yum! If it wasn't for all of the dishes with eggs, cheese or milky drinks, this place would get a 5* from us just because of those mushrooms! However, the menu is mostly vegetarian so, 4* it is!
Enjoy those mushroom skewers!
Pros: The mushroom skewers

Good food - Edit
Went here three times during my stay as it was so close to my accomodation, Burgers were small maybe order french fries aswell but curries and hot pots are really great size. Hard to know what has egg in it as some mock meats use egg whites but I mostly ate mushroom mock meats. I can speak some khmer to say I dont eat egg however I find at restaurants they forget (maybe because they are busy). Gave a BBQ mushroom kebab to my friends and they thought it was beef. Super tasty and good prices. $4.25 for a big portion of noodle soup with mushroom/cumin/basil and a burger. Complimentary tea also.

Delicious Asian food, polite staff - Edit
The staff here are refreshing: friendly, polite and great service...even if they don't speak much English. I had the sizzling noodle and veg plate without fried egg and the fried mushrooms. SO good. It was like a cool night out with the local, young, twenty-something crowd. Great for a simple, cheap and tasty meal.
Read morePros: Local flavor, Good service, Aircon
Cons: Difficult to communicate if you have strict diet

I love Viktking house - Edit
I love the menu. The decor is nice best decor in Seam Reap. I thought the prices are reasonable and I love that the prices are in khmer riel NOT the dollar. Most dishes are less than 10,000៛ which is $2.50. I don't know why some reviews are saying it is expensive. I would recommend there signature dish the sizzling hot plate.

Food lukewarm and a lot of fake meat - Edit
I really didn't enjoy the food here. I ordered a tofu sizzling hotplate and while it sizzled, the food was lukewarm at best. The tofu was soft and unappetizing, and they had cooked it with fake meat (which i generally try to avoid as i don't like how close it can taste to real meat). The food was reasonably price, but there is a lot of fake meat and fish on the menu and not much in the way of vegetables.
Read moreThe food came out really quickly and the staff were friendly and fairly attentive. And the food itself is reasonably priced.

The Politics of Greed - Edit
I have been coming to the Vitking Hosue for years, primarily the location in Siem Reap before frequenting the Phnom Penh locations. To be perfectly honest, the food here is spectacular. Always has been, and most likely will retain that quality. The unfortunate reality, however, is that the owners insist on raising the prices every few months.
Read moreI requested to speak to the young Khmer male, who was in his office not even five meters away. The response I got was that he was "too busy." I went in his office anyway to discuss the pricing. The first words that came out of his mouth was "profits," where if he keeps the price the same, they do not make money. No mention at all about employee salaries or keeping a high standard...just profits. This based on the cost food here in Cambodia.
This is absolute rubbish considering no other restaurants besides The Vegetarian has increased their pricing, and all three restaurants are constantly crowded. You make your money off of volume, which they have. The Vitking House is coming dangerously close to matching western costs in restaurants, and it comes down to one thing and one thing only. Greed.

Bring your own dishcloth - Edit
Why do Cambodian restaurants all put trashcans under the table? When dining room needs cleaning, doesn't help to have the trash beneath you. Apart from that, the food here was so-so, typical Chinese. Vietnamese spring rolls were a bust. Ornamental straws seemed like it had not been washed. The fruit juice mix itself was pretty good.
