Takeo Khmer Food — Restaurant in Siem Reap

Stopped at this very clean and air conditioned little out of the way spot on a tour of the Angkor Wat temples. Food was a bit pricy (see my comment at the end) considering the location (away from pricier Pub Street, for example). The place was a series of rooms all divided off with glass doors and tables set up cafeteria style since it had many tour busses come thru. Food was good (friend had the lok lak (discovered the amazing lemon pepper sauce), I had the basil rice (expecting kaprow but it wasn't but still good) and flavourful with a big menu. They don't take credit cards so be ready with cash!! The tour operators could have done a better job explaining the food was on you and not part of the tour package. May I suggest having a few fixed items on the menu for the tours and folks can pay all at once without the hassle of not having a cash. We were already in for $13, round it off to $20 and be done with it. They did have free wifi which was nice to post fresh temple pics. Small table outside with the cutest baby Buddhas. Probably overpaid but even if it is 50c more, the locals could use the money. FOR PEOPLE complaining it is expensive, let's be real people. It is still well under $10 USD for a dish you would pay $20+ back home and with half the flavour and...

If like us you were dropped here by your tuktuk driver and you do manage to see this review, maybe go ask to take you elsewhere. I wish I’d seen the reviews but couldn’t get mobile reception before being seated.

Staff member literally stood centimetres right behind me whilst I looked through the hundred (!) page menu, I said I needed 5 minutes and she grumpily said ‘yes’ and then continued to just stand staring at me…

Both myself and my partner ordered chicken fried rice as we both feel that if you have a menu that does everything it’s likely nothing is very good, so what’s the safest thing you can order? As we expected it was incredibly average, zero taste and required half a bottle of soy sauce just to consume it and avoid the hanger!

It’s incredibly expensive and as others say a tourist trap. Not good value.

On the plus side, there was cold beer and it was cooler...

Came here for breakfast on our Angkor Wat day. Food is more expensive than other places in Siem Reap but still cheap considering the cost back home

The food and coffee was also delicious - would definitely recommend the pancakes as these are the best I found in Cambodia 🥳

On the downside: we asked for our fruit to take away and it wasn't returned when we were paying the bill. We asked the man who brought the bill out about it and the response was a very blunt "I don't know what you want" with no attempt to help his body language was also off-putting, stood like a stereotypical bouncer. It took 2 other members of staff to get our fruit back hahaha BUT the foot was so good we'd still come back as this is likely just due to a language and...
