Hotels near Smokin' Pot Authentic Cambodian Restaurant and Cooking School

Don't miss this family run restaurant. Quality, authentic home style Khmer food that is far above the street style noodles and fried rice. Most meals are around $5 and good sized portions. Try the fish amok and the local Khmer pork curry. Fantastic. Have a chat with the friendly owner while you are there. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area.

Wandered into the restaurant just looking for some food and overheard a conversation between the owner and a family about the local cuisine and how most people do not understand or are not willing to learn. Within 2 minutes if this conversation we were sold on the cooking class, it did not disappoint. The trip to the market was very insightful and questions were encouraged. Everything was so simple to make yet care went into every single bit. The food tasted amazing and full recipes and tips were provided for home cooking. Highly highly recommend. Was very accommodating to vegetarian and vegan diets. A truly educational experience.

Fabulous authentic food cooked.to.oefee and personal spice levels. Great for vegetarians and vegans. Wish we could have fitted in a cooking class but ran out of time. We ate here 2 nights in succession and both times were very impressed. Great food in a restaurant one road back from the main riverside road. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

I can’t recommend this cooking class highly enough! The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Vannak picks you up, and together you decide which dishes you’ll prepare. Then you visit the local market to shop for all the fresh ingredients before heading to his home to cook the delicious food with his family around. I had a fantastic time cooking and getting to know him. Vannak is an amazing chef and a great host. It was truly an unforgettable experience!🙏🏻✨

★★★★★ An Unforgettable Khmer Cooking Experience Our family of four (two parents and two children 15y and 12y) had an absolutely outstanding experience at Smokin’ Pot in Battambang. From the moment we visited the local market to select fresh ingredients, to preparing and enjoying our meals in a beautiful setting surrounded by rice fields, everything felt authentic, personal, and genuinely Cambodian. Vannak and his family were wonderful hosts and made us feel incredibly welcome. Vannak speaks excellent English and shares not only his extensive knowledge of Khmer cuisine but also his very moving and inspiring personal story, which made the experience even more meaningful. This was much more than a cooking class, it was a true cultural immersion and one of the highlights of our trip to Cambodia. We highly recommend Smokin’ Pot to anyone visiting Battambang who wants to experience authentic K
