Good for a good cause - Edit
I like that the place has a social mission and that it has some veg options, and the food was quite good (I had the veg amok and the red sticky rice dessert). But it certainly wasn’t great for the price. I suppose that’s because they charge high prices to subsidize their social mission. It would probably help to think of the prices more like being a combination of paying for food and making a donation rather than just buying a meal.

Super tasty - Edit
After having dinner at Friends last night, I just had to check out Romdeng. I ordered the veg special, which was fantastic. Here too are marginalized youth trained for an opportunity to a better future. What a wonderful organization.

oase: heel aangename groene dinertuin in het hectische Phnom Penh - Edit
Redelijk wat vegetarische opties in een chique aandoend restaurant waar het relaxed en goed eten is. Mooie tuin. Pluspunt is ook dat het een horecaopleiding biedt aan voormalige straatkinderen. Vanwege deze funktie is de bediening door de leerkrachten ietwat formeel
Read morePros: Uitstekende kwaliteit., prima locatie, sociale funktie
Cons: ietsje duurder dan opties elders; de crispy riceno

Good food but shocking menu for vegans - Edit
The food was rather nice even if the menu is not very descriptive. The black beans and dumpling dish is actually a soupy curry and the dumplings are more a vegetable paste smushed into balls.
Read moreIf you are a vegan against animal cruelty here is not really a place where you will feel most at ease. Starter are composed of tarentulas, ants, crickets, served on beef tartare. Having the tarentulas exposed in a fish bowl alive until you order them.
Overall good food with a slight fancy touch to the place, but pretty pricy.

feel full, feel good :-) - Edit
This restaurant is part of the Friends International Social Enterprise and youth training / child protection network. It really feels like an oasis. The menu is interesting. The butterscotch and chocolate milk shake (dairy milk) was incredible... I ate a tasty sweet potato curry. The staff were friendly. They are getting a lot out of the training.

Yummy, Must-Try - Edit
Great place with a great mission. Several veggie options (most of which are vegan). The Vegetarian Amok and the Khmer Curry with Dumplings are both awesome.

Simply lovely - Edit
A great place to eat with non-vegetarian friends. The veggie options are numerous and really scrummy. They're not the usual Khmer fare with meat substitutes but stand on their own. I ate Jeow Mak, a grilled aubergine and chilli dip with crusty baguette, Tak Kroeng, mushroom pate with cumin, then a mouth-watering pumpkin amok... and I'm going back tomorrow. Plus you eat for a very good cause and the staff are delightful.

Good food and a great cause - Edit
At about $5 per menu item, this is more expensive than many other veg options in the city. However, the food is great, the portion sizes are large, and it feels nice helping former street kids. If you like lemongrass, you should love the "fresh garden vegetable sauteed with lemongrass and spicy basil" on the vegetarian section of the menu.
Read morePros: excellent food, trains former street kids, nice vibe
Cons: more expensive than other options
