Vegal Home Guesthouse

I ordered spicy beef rice wine and ginger kombucha. Food was 5* but ginger kombucha was like diluted ginger ale. But overall the vibe and service was very nice. $10 in total for food and drink plus a chill seat is such a deal. Found a cat staff behind the plant pot and he was also very polite 🤣Would come back next time. Came back 2nd time for lunch, still great as ever.

A beautiful green oasis in Phnom Penh! This place is an absolute hidden gem. It’s located in a great, lively area but feels like a peaceful jungle once you step into their stunning, leafy garden courtyard. The food is fantastic and fresh! Highly recommended!

Nestled just a stone's throw from the bustling Tuol Tompoung Market, Kinin feels like a hidden garden escape. The restaurant is among the first in Phnom Penh to incorporate a nature-inspired, garden-style setup in its spaces. The restored colonial building is surrounded by vibrant greenery and cozy decor, creating a soothing vibe that’s perfect for a peaceful meal, unwinding after work, or a simple date with your loved ones. It is usually packed during the weekend or special holidays so please book ahead to get prime seating locations. The menu is a delightful mix of Khmer and Western flavors. You definitely can't miss their Pasta Pastis, it’s one of my most dishes! Other favorites like Lok Lak and the Fish and Chips are equally delicious, plus there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options that won’t disappoint. The friendly staff adds to the warm atmosphere, making every visit a ple

Loved this place when dining here last night with the hubby. I had the Pastis pasta with caramelized pork belly and it was delish. His steak was okay, the pomelo mojito cocktail very refreshing. The service was excellent, the vibe delightful in the garden setting. The alternative rock/ punk/ disco tunes they played were just “what the doctor prescribed”, hehe. If this sounds like sometime you would enjoy then definitely go and check out Kinin! 😜 🙏

The Bloody Mary is a must try ... Had the beef jerky, so coming back for it... Beer battered Tofu had so much taste in it... All in all, this resto will be a plus on your #Phnompenh favourites...

Wow!!! What a serene place. Food was good, coffee was good. I was able to work in peace and quiet. I had electricity to plug in my laptop, a fan, wifi, it was perfect! I took my shoes off and grounded myself. It was a perfect slice of heaven on this journey. Maloop is a MUST visit location!

Maloop is undoubtedly one of the most unique restaurants in Phnom Penh. In a city where greenery is often lacking, Maloop feels as though it has been built around nature itself. The massive trees, lush vegetation, and open-air setting create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and refreshing. When you sit under the shade of the giant trees, surrounded by so much greenery, it's hard to believe you're still in the heart of the city. However, it does get crowded on weekends, so if you're planning a gathering with friends or family, it's advisable to reserve your tables in advance. The food is exceptional; the smoked duck salad is fresh and flavorful, the duck curry is rich yet light, and the Lok Lak is perfectly cooked. Even the mixed fries are great for sharing. Maloop is a rare gem in Phnom Penh, offering delicious Khmer dishes with Western twists in a refreshing green space. Highly reco

This is a really good spot if you’re looking for something of a lush green park/garden vibe! The atmosphere is nice and quiet, the food is amazing, and it’s a perfect place to bring your children and even pets!

We really love this restaurant: we come here for lunch and dinner together with my husband, and often meet our friends here as well. Highly recommend ❤️ Photos from different visits to this wonderful place (we keep ordering the same dishes 😻).

An absolutely beautiful experience. The space is incredible, designed so organically within the garden that you almost forget where you are. Every corner feels intentional, offering both comfort and privacy no matter where you choose to settle. Truly beautiful work. The food was delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for quality relaxing time.

Well the place is really nice, modern and cozy, beautiful cake presentation and many drink varieties. Price a bit too high for such quality of cake. Pretty much popular in Phnom Penh as not many other competitors in the same level.

A Timeless Escape: Siso Bakery BKK1 ​If you are looking for a sanctuary in the heart of the bustling BKK1 district, look no further than Siso Bakery. From the moment you step off the street, you are transported into a world that feels worlds away from the modern chaos of Phnom Penh. ​First Impressions & Vintage Charm ​The hospitality here is immediate. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a team of incredibly friendly staff whose warmth is as genuine as the aroma of butter in the air. What truly sets the mood, however, is their professional uniform. There is something so nostalgic about their attire; it instantly takes you back to a different era, reminiscent of the classic milk bars or high-end European tea rooms of the mid-20th century. It’s a level of polish and attention to detail that feels rare today, signaling right away that you’re in for a refined experience. ​An Artisa

A wonderful café with a lovely atmosphere. The croissant was absolutely delicious, rich with the aroma of butter. The matcha drink was also excellent. Highly recommended!

Saw the shop full from outside and gave it a try. Both pastries were very nice and not overly sweet. I would love to try other pastries soon!

Updated November 2025. Unfortunately despite being a nicely decorated coffee shop I didn't get a good experience. The cappuccino I ordered had no froth because the milk wasn't hit enough. They redid it but they served in a paper cup. No sugar available, only syrup. Very disappointing service for a cappuccino that they sell for $3.50. All the cupcakes are around $8 which is way overpriced, so we had some croissants. They were ok. Very nice bakery. The pastries really look beautiful and taste good. The service is very nice, the seating area nicely decorated with orange and brown tones. The pastries are served in small bronze plates with bronze tableware. Very nice atmosphere. They also have durian pastries. On the downside are the prices that are very high, and one could argue that the food is almost gourmet and also no hot tea served, so it's only coffee drinks. Pity, all it would take i

All my love to the Cambodian people. What they went through is inimaginable. Visiting S21 should be a mandatory visit for everyone, and learn about the mistakes made in the past. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this museum possible. Audio guide was good and easy to follow.

Highly recommend using the audio guide. It cost additional $5 on top of $5 entrance fee but it is worth it. The audio guide provides details about the place, dedicatedly guides you through your journey, and tells you deep stories about S-21's prisoners. I can say that the audio guide greatly amplified my visit here. However, I feel like many cruel details were avoided being told because the museum doensn't want to expose its visitors to strong emotions

A solemn experience. A must visit if you're in Phnom Penh. We even met one of the four children who survived the prison camp. Words cannot really do justice to how you feel when you see what happened there.

There’s no rating for this either. What do five stars mean in a room where the floor tiles are the same ones people bled on? The photographs on the walls look back at you — thousands of faces, numbered before they were killed, because even in the machinery of death there was paperwork, filing, bureaucratic precision. That’s the quiet horror of this place: it wasn’t chaos. It was organized. Someone kept records. Someone stamped forms. Someone clocked in. You walk the halls and realize the guards were not demons summoned from elsewhere. They were young, some barely out of childhood themselves, shaped by fear and ideology into instruments of cruelty. The banality of it is what lingers — not lightning bolts of evil, but ordinary hands doing terrible, repeated work. This isn’t a museum you visit to be entertained or even simply educated. It’s a place you visit to be confronted — with how th

Interesting insight into the genocide of the late 70's. Makes you think. Not going here would be like going to Krakow and not seeing Auchwitz. Also got to sit with one of only 2 survivors left alive (only 8 survived the prison that went in). Go see it for yourself if you are in Phnom Penh

I was very disappointed with my visit today. This buffet is quite popular and was recommended by a friend, but the experience was unacceptable. When I arrived, the first thing I noticed were flies throughout the shop and several uncleaned tables. (Although the staff was friendly) the service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes for my soup base to arrive, and the meat I ordered via QR code didn't arrive for almost an hour. While waiting, the conveyor belt only had vegetables and sausages; many items were empty and never refilled (no meat). I reminded the staff several times, but still received no food. I actually had to rely on the kindness of the customers next to me, who shared a few plates (3-4 plates) of meat so I could finally eat. This was especially disappointing since I visited after the lunch rush, so it wasn't even busy. I hope the management improves their hygiene and serv

A great all you can eat Chinese style hot pot. Many selection of foods. The service is friendly but the wait time can be a bit long depends on the walk in customers.

I love me some good hotpot! Been here many times and never went out disappointed. Service here is nice, you get free candy before leaving although theres no KTV room whenever you want to bring your friends with.

A very affordable hotpot buffet with variety of meat and vegetables to choose. Price is $7.8 per person with free Colagen soup and additional $0.8 for other soup tomato sichuan or mushroom soup. They offer both individually seat and also table for more than 3 peoples. The only things that i dont like is that they don't offer water for drink but they do have soft drink. Fruit and Ice cream is self serve for dessert.

Every time you visit, keep in mind to spare some time to wait for your turn but the wait will be worth it. Various meats & meatball and also vegetables with unlimited coke and you can eat everything at your seats. Suitable as eating alone or in groups. Although meats may arrive quite slow cuz there’s always a lot of people:

The soup here is delicious. I like the collagen soup the most. The meat and vegetables are fresh but seafood like shrimps just a small issue though. 😅 The atmosphere is spacious and nice

Hotpot is nice, service is fast, friendly the time i went. The place is equip with AC so i can enjoy cool air on hot day, hot hotpot, but i can't stop my clothes from smelling like hotpot. Need to rethink how can improve the air circulation. To the owner i would suggest installing air purifier unit to at least reduce the circulation fume from hotpot. Other than that this place is nice place to go to for lunch hotpot.

The food choices are okay eapecially for $8. Meat and vegetables are okay. However, our concern was the staff does not understand English well and cannot communicate that well so they are not able to explain the menu. In fact one of their staff walked out on us and called the other staff instead of politely telling us that she cannot understand what we want to convey. They do not have an English version of their menu knowing that the area have a lot of foreign visitors. The softdrinks especially the 7up tastes like sparkling water/soda instead of 7up. It doesn’t have a taste at all.

Xiao Ge Hot Pot famous hotpot restaurant chain in Cambodia, especially among young people. It's a lovely spot, nestled in a bustling, lively part of town. It's a small, comfy, and very clean place with a wonderful atmosphere. Staffs are also friendly and helpful. With schools, offices, and market nearby, the place is usually packed during lunch or dinner. Plus, its affordability appeals to students and office workers. Would recommend for those who enjoy some affordable hotpot with friends or coworkers.

I enjoyed a buffet hotpot at an affordable price, with unlimited meat options, including pork, beef, black chicken, shrimp, and meatballs. However, the selection of side dishes was limited for me, as all the dumplings and spring rolls contained pork or beef. The water spinach also came without leaves. Despite that, the staff provided excellent service. Many hotpot spots in Phnom Penh lack good chicken-based soup, but the Sichuan soup I ordered was flavorful and satisfying.

Another wonderful experience at Bodia Spa. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful, elegant, and impeccably maintained. Every detail reflects the quality and professionalism Bodia is known for. My 90-minute massage with Saveth was exceptional. She was attentive, skilled, and adjusted the pressure perfectly throughout the treatment. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed after weeks of traveling around Cambodia. The staff are always welcoming, the facilities are beautiful, and the service is consistently outstanding. Bodia continues to be one of my favorite places to unwind in Phnom Penh, and I highly recommend requesting Saveth if you're looking for an excellent massage. Thank you for another wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to Cambodia.

**Bodia Spa, Phnom Penh — Herbal Compress Massage** Bodia Spa impresses from the moment you walk in, with stunning interior design spread across three floors. Private cabins accommodate solo visits or groups of up to three, each room complete with a shower and a choice of oils. The lobby is a great spot to browse bath, massage, and wellness products too. The herbal compress massage was pleasant, though nothing extraordinary — and for what's delivered, the pricing feels a little high. A beautiful space, but perhaps more style than substance.

Very attentive, kind and caring staff at reception. The massages are always excellent and they check you’re comfortable with the pressure and room during the massage. Always a truly amazing experience. I love the hot shower afterwards too with all the lovely Bodia products!

Friendly staff, good service, and a relaxing atmosphere. The massage was enjoyable overall, though a bit more oil was used during the body massage than I personally prefer. Still a pleasant experience in BKK1.

Fantastic experience from the beginning till the end. I booked an appointment for a massage the day before and I was welcomed with a nice tea and a feet cleaning. I was told there is currently a promotion of 20% on some massages during 10am to 4pm and since I was within the promotion time I decided to go for it. I had a 1-hour Bodia full body massage and my masseuse was really good. I had some tense muscles in my upper back and she worked on them really well. She found knots I didn’t know I had and I felt very relieved once I was done. At the end, I was given another glass of tea while I was waiting to pay and for my Tuktuk taxi. Amazing experience overall, and since I’m heading to Siem Reap next I’ll make sure I book another appointment there too☺️🙏

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and able to communicate well in English. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. I also loved the interior—it has a beautiful aesthetic and a relaxing atmosphere that's perfect for spending time with friends or working. The only downside for me was the food and coffee. While they were decent, they didn't have the flavor or uniqueness I expected for the price. I was hoping for something a bit more memorable. Overall, I would still recommend this café if you're looking for a cozy place with a great ambiance and excellent service. If atmosphere is your priority, it's definitely worth a visit.

Moma is one of the most popular bakeries in town, well known for its brunch menu and wide selection of pastries. After trying their products, I can definitely say they live up to their reputation. Although the prices are on the higher side, the quality, taste, and portion sizes justify the cost. Everything feels well made, using quality ingredients, so the value matches the price. Even though I haven't visited the bakery in person and only ordered online, I was impressed by their customer service. The staff responded quickly, answered my questions in detail, and made the ordering process smooth and pleasant. The egg tart series was the highlight for me. The crust was flaky, the filling was rich and creamy, and it wasn't overly sweet. I also really enjoyed the Dubai Chewy—it had a great texture and was full of flavor. Overall, Moma is a bakery that's worth the hype. Whether you're loo

Excellent bakery with a very good cafe attached to it. The review is mainly about the savory food but don’t miss out on the croissants and various pastries on offer. Though I would avoid, unless you have a very sweet tooth, their Dubai chocolate items as they are VERY sweet. The cafe upstairs is very well appointed and clean, with strong AC which is much appreciated in this town. Service is friendly but unremarkable. The food are generally high quality and good value, and I highly recommend the full English breakfast which is arguably the best in Phnom Penh. It’s missing black pudding but other than that, it’s very on point. The beef lok lak is a limited item but you should try it if they offer it. Very succulent Australian tenderloin and comes with freshly fried crisps which soak up the pepper sauce quite nicely. All in all a great place for brunch or just a quick pick me up.

The BEST blueberry pancakes I’ve had in Cambodia. I thought another restaurant was good but this blows them away. The pancakes are fluffy and actually has a great texture. I have had their blueberry pancakes two days in a row because it’s that good. Judge for yourself and I will try their other items on their menu.

I love the atmosphere it’s cozy and cold for this hot weather. The food was great i love their food. Although i still can’t manage to eat the sausage in the english brekkie its just tasted dry and sour. But everything else was perfect i love their drinks and pastries as well 💕
