Nice food and respite from the heat - Edit
Definitely not vegan but vegetarian. Some dishes have eggs but plenty to have without egg and super tasty. Decently priced too as it’s outside of the main tourist area.

Pros: Plenty of staff, Nice and open space, Tasty
Cons: Instant noodles instead of something better

I have my doubts about vegan food here :( - Edit
This beautiful Restaurant is great for vegetarians. But for vegans… I don‘t know. Noone of the staff understood „vegan“ and in the end I got great food but I am Not sure if it was vegan. Nothing on the Menu is labelled as vegan.
Read morePros: Beautiful, Atmosphere, At least vegetarian only
Cons: No vegan labels, Staff doesn‘t know the Term „vegan“ :(

Waited hour & half - Edit
I hate to leave a bad review but I had to walk out. I waited and hour & a half for some sautéed veggies. They weren’t even willing to add tofu to them. That’s too long. They are also double the price of other place very nearby.
Read moreI ended up going to Tevy’s place (just a few blocks away) which was delicious and the servers were SO nice! It was half the price plus Paris Bakery with vegan Pain au Chocolate was right across the street!

Great for vegetarian - Edit
As a vegan, I struggled with the menu as things are not labelled vegan. The kimchi soup is vegan as made with udon noodles, I enjoyed this and a drink. The vibe was nice and relaxing and the restaurant was pretty busy, but still had free tables.
Read morePros: Great kimchi soup
Cons: Vegan food not labelled , Egg in alot of dishes

Veg Cambodian Classics - Edit
Vitking House has an upscale diner ambience. If you’d like to try Cambodian food, and are vegetarian, this may be your best bet of trying more than the most famous dishes.
Read moreI really enjoyed the laksa. The mushroom appetizer was also nice, but a couple of the sharing plates were over fried or under seasoned.

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 more….having eaten here for many years and asked many times about ingredients we've now been told that the mushroom skeweres are not vegan (despite being told otherwise previously). it's apparent there are other dishes on the menu that might contain egg too but despite offering to help them label the menu correctly they declined saying "we are a vegetarian restaurant". shame as we loved this place...

Not vegan. No communication. Attempted theft - Edit
So, first thing to be clear about is this place is not vegan. Cambodians don’t really understand the concept and staff here don’t have the language skills to clarify (which is my fault in their country I know: feel bad)
Read moreSo, we had to leave.
Because we had ordered drinks we paid for them. On a 10 dollar payment the cashier (their entire role) tried to short change us by $5.
When challenged she clearly knew what she’d done. Then claimed it was just because she didn’t have it. Didn’t apologise.
Strongly suggest you stay away. There are better places here…
Pros: Didn’t see any
Cons: This place isn’t vegan it’s vegetarian!, Couldn’t identifywhether elements were vegan/not, Then attempted theft by cashier as we left
VeganFoodQuest
sorry you had this experience. as the Siem Reap ambassador i'm currently speaking with Happy Cow as to what should happen with the Vitking listings (they have 4 restaurants in Cambodia). you are right that they are a veggie and not vegan restaurant and it is impossible to know which dishes are suitable. we offered to help with menu labelling and training but they are happy to be a veggie restaurant.

Thank you for writing. If they had some training by the police with regards what is theft and what isn’t that would also help them.

Can’t recommend - Edit
We had lunch here and were very disappointed about the food.
Read moreAfter reading all the good comments about this place we had high expectations, but it wasn’t nice at all.
We had one dish which want vegan (the burger) but we asked several times before if there is egg or diary inside... the menu wasn’t helpful in this case and the stuff spoke no or rarely English. So don’t expect vegan food if they tell you it’s vegan ...
The rest of our food wasn’t good too. We had the stir fried tofu in something looks like tomato sauce but just tasted as oil with red colour with a few pieces of Pak Choi and natural Tofu with no taste...
We also had the bbq mushrooms, which were ok.
To say something positive: the interior is nice and we got free cold tea. The prices are low compared to other places in the area, but you we got bad, non-vegan food for it...

Properly impressed, great ambience, tasty food and really affordable - Edit
My experience at Vitking was great. The food was good, but the deep fried tofu was probably the most impressive thing I’ve eaten in Cambodia in the last 3 days. Service is great and the food came reasonably fast and hot! So I’d definitely visit this again in a few days!
Read morePros: Price, Sufficient vegan options

Super modern place & nice food - Edit
I gotta say this place has such a weird setting for a budget-end veggie restaurant, but not necessarily in a bad way. Massive high ceilings, bright lighting and minimalistic decor - it feels FANCY. Like a modern art museum or something.
Read moreAnyways, we weren’t very hungry when we came here so only ordered basic dishes - steamed dumplings, fried tofu and french fries. But everything was really tasty!

Nice setting but average food - Edit
This is a good spot, tucked back from the main road and with seating available in the garden. The menu itself is a bit confusing as the English translations aren’t great. I tried to order the vegan salmon curry (I was intrigued!) but was told they didn’t have it. In the end I got the deep fried mushroom skewer, which was great - very meaty in texture and had a nice crunch! Also ordered fried Chinese cabbage and mushrooms, which was pretty bland, and deep fried tofu, which came with a squeeze of lime and reminded me of fish and chips (the batter was similar). Anyway, it was decent enough but nothing particularly special. Felt a lot more local than the other veggie / vegan places I’ve been to here. Prices were very low but I didn’t have riel and I think it’s more expensive to pay in dollars.

Wouldn't Recommend - Edit
Usually I give good reviews for every place I've been to but sadly we went here last night and despite saying over and over that we don't eat egg, we were given dishes with egg in them. We ended up leaving hungry and upset. It's a beautiful place but the staff do not understand English at all and this means the meals come out wrong.

Excelent vegetarian food in a cozy environment - Edit
IMHO, the best vegetarian restaurant in town. The restaurant is composed of about 6 open big huts where you have to sit on a small cushion at a small, low table. No panic, for those who do not fancy eating while sitting on the floor, they also have the ordinary tables with chairs. The menu is extensive, the food is delicious (try their mushrooms, or their fried rice with fruit) and reasonably priced. It's a little out of town, so maybe better take a tuktuk. I'll bet, you won't regret having eaten there.

go for the atmosphere - Edit
My partner and I spent 10 days in Siem Reap this year and Vitking House become one of our favourite spots to eat, especially in the cool of the evening. It's lovely and quiet but the atmosphere is still warm and generous. A few wooden decks with ceilings and open sides with low tables are always quite full of local students. Sprinklers spray the garden and, as a double bonus, keep the air cool and the mosquitos at bay. I'm surprised people have described it as "out of the way". Sure, it's not on Pub Street but it's 10 min max by bike from the central market. If you're staying in Siem Reap and you don't hire a bicycle, seriously, what are you doing?!
Read moreThe waitstaff are all very young and really friendly. They speak very limited to no English but there are English translations on the menu. As well as Khmer dishes, they offer Western food like burgers and sandwiches but we steered clear of that stuff coz it looked a bit sad. Everything we had was tasty and well balanced with plenty of fresh veggies but nothing to write home about. Some dishes bordered on bland but, then again, Khmer food isn't heavily spiced. It's easy to over order and over eat because everything is so cheap. They have an amazing selection of shakes, including pumpkin and taro but we weren't able to get them made vegan.
