Must Try - Edit
Had a 3 course meal with a beer for £13.70…!!! The staff are all so friendly and attentive. The food is amazing with so many unique flavours. I’ve never had “battered cod” made from Jackfruit but it really works. And paired with the tartare sauce, it’s just a winning combo

I had tasty meal at Element during my stay in Phnom Penh. The highlight of the meal would have been the chocolate cake with coconut ice cream on top. The portion size was perfect for an individual, not too heavy. Highly recommend it!

A lovely restaurant on a quiet street - Edit
I came to element after reading all the positive reviews. I would say that it does truly live up to the reviews - the staff are super attentive and friendly, the food (I tried the sharing platter) was very nice and all-in-all, a worthwhile place to visit. I would say it lost a star for me (and again this could just be from what I ordered) due to the stodginess of the “fish” bites, and there was one sauce I didn’t like. I would definitely return here and try the dessert and some of the main dishes!

Everything hit the spot - Edit
The food was delicious. I ordered delivery and it was not a long wait. Everything was packaged in a sensible sustainable manner. I ordered the element burger which was quite good spring rolls and dumplings which were amazing. It's hard to find vegan dumplings spbthese are a welcome treat

Staff very friendly, nice atmosphere - Edit
More upmarket place with super friendly staff. The food was nice enough although not as good as cheaper places we have tried in Phnom Penh. The crème brûlée was particularly good though.

An elegant venue, a very professionnel and nice staff and great food. I had the opportunity to taste some of the Khmer dishes and they were tasty and beautifully displayed.

Fine vegan dining - Edit
Orders the amok and creamy dumplings. Both enjoyed our dishes. Finished with creme brûlée which was a 3/5. Good crunchy top but the bulk was a bit tasteless after that.

The vegan creme brûlée!!!! - Edit
Loved the vibe, the staff were so kind and our food was served quickly. We ordered the spring rolls to start and they were really really good, they're very big so you only need one serving for 3-4 people. Our mains were lacking in flavour, no one on the table could finish theirs. We all ordered dessert, the chocolate cake, ice cream and creme brûlée and everyone finished that pretty quickly. Wow, that vegan creme brûlée?! Coming back for that asap. Drinks were also delicious.
Read morePros: Lovely staff & clearly labelled vegan items, Great dessert , Good location

Decent Vegan - Edit
We had the three dips to start. Ok but not inspiring. Followed by burger- good and nice fries and salad and noodle soup which my guest enjoyed. We should have ordered a bottle of the very reasonable red as we had 6 glasses between us although why Cambodia insists on serving red wine cold, is beyond me. ( ok with new fresh wines but not so much with bodied clarets). Wait staff were polite and attentive but the place was almost empty on a Tuesday night. They also stayed open a little late so we could finish our wine. #Veganuary

Fantastic! - Edit
The service, the ambience, the price and most importantly the food. The place is fantastic, rivals any high end vegan restaurant in any major city in the world. The omnivore I was with did not want to eat at a vegan restaurant but ultimately relented and said it was one of the best meals he had while traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia. I had the Chinese dumplings, the amok and creme brulee for dessert. All highly recommended. The creme brulee was cirtus coconut flavored and very light, different, but I loved it. A not to miss restaurant when in Phenom Penh!

Not good not bad - Edit
Not really sure how to feel about this place. Had the ramen that honestly was very flavorful and a good portion, but I just didn’t like the flavors of it.. I will never be friends with cilantro. I also had the dumplings in creamy mushroom sauce, and once again it was good and flavorful, but the sauce was too sweet and i really didn’t enjoy that.. my partner had the fish n chips and he very much enjoyed those!
Read moreAnd then there’s the staff.. super friendly, but my partner and I are the types of people who go out to eat just for the eating part, and our waiter really wanted to chat.. so just be prepared.
It was good, but we had expected or hoped for more 😊

Beautiful food and a delicious, creamy, vegan Amok - Edit
We ate at Element for lunch one day and couldn't believe how tasty this food was, and how incredibly beautiful the dishes were too. We felt really fancy eating here, but the prices weren't super high for the standard of the food - this would be so incredibly expensive somewhere else in the world! The service was amazing, and the Amok here was some of the best we tried in all of Cambodia.
