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 pork belly and marbled beef were incredibly tender and flavorful. The beef, in particular, had a delightful combination of chewiness and tenderness. The Korean dipping sauces were a highlight, and for those less adventurous, there was a simple salt and pepper option. The staff's service was impeccable, ensuring we had everything we needed.

Despite the top-notch service, the pricing was reasonable. For a group of six, the total cost was only 75 USD. If you find yourself in Phnom Penh craving delicious Korean BBQ with excellent service at a reasonable price, I highly recommend giving Hi-So a try.
