A Delightful Korean BBQ Experience in the Heart of Phnom Penh.
I visited the Hi-So Korean BBQ restaurant in downtown Phnom Penh on a Saturday evening without a reservation. Initially, it seemed like there were no available tables, but eventually, the staff at the counter found us a spacious private room, which could accommodate around 15 people. Despite our group being only six, the restaurant graciously allowed us to use this large room.
Once we placed our orders, the attentive staff offered to grill the food for us. We had the option to have them grill it in the kitchen or enjoy the DIY experience in our private room. The variety of Korean side dishes complemented the main dishes perfectly, and the best part was the unlimited refills.

The meal was outstanding, but there are some areas for improvement, such as adjusting the air conditioning temperature and serving drinks. Nevertheless, I can't wait to come back soon.
I totally forgot taking some dishes ... Only...

The service was not super welcoming but quite quick (possibly not necessarily in favor of the food), the bancha and bibimbap were good without being amazing, the hot bibimbap could have been prepared better instead of just briefly dumped into a hot vessel. The only thing that really irked me though was that the bibimbap which I ordered without egg and beef nevertheless was served with them on the side. Makes me wonder if that was in order to be able to charge full price - in that case I would have preferred they told me so when I ordered and not brought out the meat and egg, producing completely...
