Hotels near Yeay Mean Restaurant

Yeay Mean Restaurant is a family-run canteen in central Kampong Chhnang serving Khmer home cooking. There is no English menu, but dishes are shown on wall pictures and staff help with choices. The kitchen cooks to order, and portions are generous. Prices are very low; visitors report paying around 7000 KHR for a main dish with rice, or less than 2 USD for a full meal.

Visitors consistently praise the food quality and friendliness of staff. Several guests returned daily during their stay, citing authentic local flavour and freshness. The atmosphere is described as calm and family-oriented. One regular noted the restaurant has not changed in several years and stands out against other options in the city. Service is described as attentive with a smile. The only practical note visitors mention is that the restaurant gets crowded between noon and 1 PM when government employees take lunch, though seating remains available.

The restaurant opens from 6 AM to 8 PM daily, making it suitable for both breakfast and dinner. It suits travellers wanting genuine local food at low cost, and those staying nearby long enough to return. Finding it requires asking directions or using maps, as it is not prominently signed, but this has not deterred repeat visitors. The lack of an English menu is a minor hurdle for non-speakers, though friendly staff will guide you through the wall pictures.
