Best Cambodian food - Edit
We had a selection of the number 1, 3, 10 and F26. The food was generally a massive hit and we enjoyed everything but probably wouldn't order the vegetable tempura again.

We ordered through nahm24 and it was quick. The food was delicious. I hoped it came with rice or that we knew it didn’t, but every item was tasty.

Best vegan dishes in the south of Cambodia - Edit
The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. The staff is really friendly and the dishes were delicious, especially the spicy tofu. It is great to find such good vegan options ! We struggled a bit in the area to find great spots to eat vegan, and this was amazing to find a place with a lot of choice, local food, and delicious taste.
Read moreThey were also kind enough to let us spend a really long time here, as we were waiting for a bus.
It is nice to know they work towards a good cause, as they are dedicated to the safety of kids and young people around here. We really do recommend !

Lovely restaurant and ethos - Edit
There are not many veg friendly restaurants in Sihanoukville but this restaurant has a good and clearly marked menu for vegetarian food. Not so clear on vegan but I just avoided any dishes referencing egg. Food was nice but not standout. However this restaurant is a social enterprise with a nice ethos and we were pleased to support it. The staff were very friendly and the prices are reasonable. It also has a lovely ambiance and outside seating area.

Social Enterprise restaurant - Edit
Wonderful restaurant. It's run by an NGO as a social enterprise to train disadvantaged youth. The young trainees were delightful and the food was great. They have a happy hour from 4 to 7pm on drinks. For more about the NGO and the social enterprise visit www.mloptapang.org
Read moreMy hotel recommended I come here and I am very happy I did.
I ate the vegetarian Amok. I suspect it is vegan, but I didn't check sorry.
Pros: It is training young people from poor backgrounds , The ambience is great, The happy hour from 4 to 7pm on drinks was a bonus
Cons: Also has meat
SandanRestaurant
Thank you for your review and for appreciating our ambiance and mission. This means world to us!

Lovely restaurant supporting local kids - Edit
Recommend by our hotel (Manila Villa) and very pleased that we found it as not many vegan opportunities in this city.
Read morePlenty of vegan options here and everything well presented and good flavors. Had an amazing veg Amok. Did make sure to ask for no fish sauce and unfortunately the veg burger came with cheese which was not advertised on the menu but our fault for not double checking.
The restaurant is a school to train local street kids who were so sweet and friendly and we wanted to support the great scheme here.
But the food was so good we would have returned anyway.
The site is clean and calm and the kids really look after you topping up your water, wiping your crumbs away and we felt very well looked after.
Pros: Food lovely , Calm ambience , Support local kids
Cons: Check your dish is vegan

Good food, great cause - Edit
Had an hour or so in Sihanoukville before getting the bus out and decided to come here as it’s a good cause and they have vegan options. The setting is very nice and green although quiet as we were the only customers (I hope more people go). The staff are in training and are very attentive and sweet. There’s a whole page of veggie options but vegan dishes aren’t labelled. We just avoided any with egg in the description and made clear to the waiters that we were vegan and what we couldn’t eat (including in Khmer on google translate). We ordered some tofu wraps and some aubergine on bread. They came as little mini bites, ideal for sharing and were surprisingly tasty and filling. Definitely worth stopping at if you’re in the area

A nice meal in an ugly town - Edit
Good quality products, and khmer plates that I never tasted before. The chaos and noise from outside is still present because of the open space. But the calmness from the waiters is comforting and makes you forget that life is meaningless..

Eat for a good cause - Edit
The restaurant serves many meat and fish dishes, but also offers some vegetarian dishes. Here some without egg and fish sauce can also be ordered vegan. The restaurant supports the childsave movement in Cambodia. Sandan is definitely worth a visit when you are in Sihanoukville.

Sad that they have only one vegan desert - Edit
The food was good, forgot to ask if it contained egg tho hopefully not and I have seen people saying they have lots of vegan desert but they do not only the sticky rice is vegan the ice cream contains egg and so does lots of the other things.. but the staff tried their best to help to make it right so we love that but ended up not getting a desert
Read morePros: Good food , Attentive staff , Nice restaurant
Cons: Just one vegan desert option , Not clear enough of what is vegan or not

Best restaurant in Sihanoukville - Edit
Love the concept of this brand - I was really sad to hear their Phnom Penh Friends restaurant shut down. Sandan is set in a beautiful courtyard that was quite unexpected for the area. The menu is extensive (both local and western food) and reasonably priced, and happy hour means cocktails/wine is just US$2 each! The vegetarian menu has items with eggs, so check with the waiter first. I had the glass noodle salad with taro spring rolls, which tasted similar to the Thai som tum. It was a fantastic dish and I loved the peppery flavour of the spring rolls. Service was very attentive. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Amazing deserts! Great food. - Edit
Great cause and gret tasting food. The grilled eggplant with mushrooms and chinese stir fry were available 1/2 portion- a great way to try more options for 4$. Comes with rice. Fresh Coconut is more expensive than elsewhere. However deserts are the real reason I would come back- the balls they offer are crispy on outside and delicious flavors packed inside. Amazing! Another 4$ though. If on the budget, I'd suggest sharing- it's totally enough for even 3 ppl.
