Disgusting!

Staff were friendly.Menu terribly confusing.
Really , they made no effort with the food.
Served a non edible curry noodle soup that looked like it was scrapped out of the bin and mixed with drain water.
Couldn't eat it!
I'm sure some people had nice dishes here but I didn't.Way touch fake processed meat
No professional chefs here!

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Food, Food, Menu

Good stuff

First restaurant we tried in Phnom Penh and it set the bar fairly well. Portion sizes were just enough and the food itself was really tasty.

Meh

I didn't like that the stir fried vegetables with Tofu also had mock meat in it. It tasted very intense and artificial.

Pros: Huge menu

Cons: Not very cheap, Did not like the mock meat

Vegan feast

There is literally hundreds of different choices here. All vegetarian plates and many vegan ones. It's not cheap but it's good and authentic.

Polecam hot pot

Wreszcie miałam okazję spróbować hot pota, bo w zwykłych knajpach na ogół nie podają opcji beMiesnych. Jeden garnek spokojnie wystarczyłby na trzy osoby.

Cheap and good

The menu is a bit overwhelming, it has more than 30 pages so its not easy to decide what to order. I tried several soups and I loved all of them. Most of the vegetarian soups can be made vegan. The different soups are all full of flavour and the portions are big enough. The service is super quick and all of dishes are so cheap. My only minus points are that one time I received one soup with egg inside. Also the vegan drumsticks were horribly dry and you get your drink in a plastic cup instead of serving it in a glass.
But if you want a decent soup, thats the place to go to. #Veganuary
Also try the dumplings. They were absolutely amazing.

Great everyday restaurant

This is the kind of place you can come everyday.

The menu is huge (more than 30 pages), and items that are, or that can be vegan are clearly marked. You then order by filling-in a card and taking it to the till, so no pressure of looking over the menu with someone standing over you waiting to take your order.

It's mostly Asian food, but there are some western things on the menu. Several different kinds of burgers, and it's very reasonably priced.

I would order 4-5 items every time I came here. I don't think I once paid more than $10, and I always left very happy.

Easy

Easy to order, fast service, impressive menu and tasty food. But of an icky inside eating area though and not sure about the cleanliness of the tables etc - would opt to takeaway next time.

So many choices!!

They have a giant menu, written in English with ingredients specified and labelled vegetanian or vegan. It's self service order. So you can take your time to choose and there is no misunderstandings and confusions which is really comfy :)

The food is really tasty!! We enjoyed everything we ate.

They also have a big tea menu and other drinks.

There is a small shop to bug some food items.

The staff is smiling :)

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very cheap, Really tasty

So delicious!!!

The mock meats were really good and juicy!
The restaurant is ‘self-service’ so you have to fill in the order card on the table and then pay at the counter.
The food menu is clearly marked with what’s vegan or not, however it wasn’t as clear on the drinks menu.

Delicious plant based burguers!

They had an enormous amount of different burguers, although it is not super cheap still recommended!

Sooooo good

You can’t go wrong with the fried dumplings (not deep fried, just fried), delicious. I also got the steak noodle soup and it was fantastic (after some chili oil and soy sauce). You have to specify and double check for the vegan option of some of the dishes and some dishes took longer than the others, but it was really good and worth the wait. The burgers are very good and cheap, I loved the crispy mushroom steak one, with tofu instead of egg.

Cheap and delicious!

Super delicious! Most dishes can be made vegan, the steaks are beautiful, the soup is lush and the overall the atmosphere was cosy and nice, highly recommend. The food can take a little while based on what you get but it’s worth it! Will visit again😆

Cheap and delicious

I had dinner here twice while in Phnom Penh and I loved it. The food was delicious and the menu gives you heaps of options, with fake meat and tofu and vegetables to choose from. The dumplings were particularly good and there's lots of condiments on the table to add to your food which I always love. The staff were super friendly and welcoming (non-verbally, not sure they spoke English). Excellent option for a vegan meal without the bumped up western prices!!

Pros: Heaps of vegan or veganisable choices on the menu, Cheap, Friendly service

Friendly staff

The food wasn’t the best if I’m honest but that could be personal taste. The girl serving was very friendly and helpful using her limited English to make me welcome. I’m giving 5 stars for her helpfulness. Vast menu with vegan and ‘can be vegan’ clearly marked on the menu.

Used to be better

The food is "okay" (unfortunately not as good as it used to be). For take away orders, everything is packed in plastic. The staff is careless (sometimes with an egg although we ordered vegan), sometimes wrong items.

Very small portions for not so small prices.

The prices are quite high for what you get, we waited a very long time for our dishes to come and the waitress had troubles knowing which dish goes to which tables during all the time we were there. The food taste good tho. The place was kinda dirty.

didn’t understand when asked for vegan

ordered stir fried noodles which on the menu stated could be made vegan so when we wrote down our order i wrote vegan next to the noodles however when they came out they were clearly egg noodles so i asked the lady and pointed at the vegan sign and she said laughed and said yes i had the right order but didn’t seem to understand what i was asking and walked off. could have used google translate to ask again but felt as though it was a bit hopeless seeing as i had twice asked for vegan and got no further. also ordered some dumplings and as you pay when you order we had paid for them and then we were told they didn’t have any, so at the end of our meal i had to ask for the refund rather than this being offered to us. ended up with chips my boyfriend had ordered as a side with his burger whilst he had a burger plus my noodles. sure if you order something definitely vegan rather than something adaptable you will have a better experience but the lack of communication made it very hard for me.

YUM!

What a bargain for delicious food. We paid $7.75 for 4 dishes between us, plenty of food to fill us up and my meat eating boyfriend loved it (and regularly orders it now via NHAM24). We now order from here once or twice a week.
