Great! Here's your updated review with the evening experience and street food included:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Market for Souvenirs and Street Food Lovers!
Russian Market is one of the most vibrant and exciting places in Phnom Penh. It’s well-known for souvenirs, handmade crafts, clothes, silk scarves, bags, and even electronics. You can find almost everything here at a good price – and bargaining is part of the fun!
During the day, the market is full of life and color. But if you come in the evening, it becomes even more special! Around the outside of the market, there are many street food stalls selling delicious local dishes, grilled seafood, fresh vegetables, tropical fruits, and cold drinks. It’s a great place to enjoy dinner and experience the real local vibe.
The people are friendly, the food is tasty, and the shopping is endless. Whether you’re looking for gifts or just want to walk around and eat, Russian Market is a perfect place to explore.

Read moreMessy market with everything
In particular I go to get second hand and new scooter parts (also have some motorcycles parts for small engine ones)
Good place to buy a second hand scooter engine, carburator, wheels. Most of the stock is from Honda dream.
I was looking to get a carburator part for Honda today. A whole used carburator is 20$.
There is also a shop selling new parts. They can import from Thailand too
Apart from the parts the market also has lots of tools , chemicals, paints, cleaning products, garment, artwork, bamboo baskets and lamspahde, food courts , vegetables. I guess every kind of Cambodia relevant necessity.
You can't unfortunately find here big motorcycle second hand parts. You can find some simple ones that are shared with smaller engines like gaskets, spark plugs, chains,
There is nice sundown overlooking market.
Pleasant area in general (for Phnom Penh). Lively and natural, authentic living quarters of town, with a good mix of foreign style bars...
Read moreOverall it is a good market to walk around but there are a few little scams going around within the market with the food.
First of a is the lady who sell the noodle at one of the stores. Her tricks, she will tell you a low price with her noodles. The price increased straightaway telling you that it cost $2.50 instead of $1.25 if you want meat. I advice you to check and confirm the price of what you before sitting down. If not just walk away. Plus they purposely has no price on what they sell to confuse foreigners.
Later on the juice scam. Everything listed on the sign board show $2 for all juices without differentiate the size. However, they will charge a $0.50 extra when they serve telling you that the size they have for you is a large. My ”large" orange was charged $2.50 while my "large" pineapple is $2.
The noodle lady even worked with the juice lady and double ordered our juices and expect us to pay for it. I call this the "juice" scam.
Beware of her and the juice shop...
