TRY ME Restaurant — Restaurant in Siem Reap

Cute little restaurant. It was empty when we visited, but it is the quiet season at the moment. We had spicy fried rice and banana blossom salad. I have dietary requirements and the staff were very helpful and insisted I try the banana blossom salad as it was very good. She said that she'd make it special for me without onions. The rice was okay, but the salad was very tasty! Definitely recommend for something a bit different. We also had vege spring rolls, which were thick and came with three in a serve. We usually order them as a starter and they have been different at every restaurant (different fillings and different casings).

To drink we wanted Cambodian iced coffee (with condensed sweet milk), but they didn't have any, so we ordered a mango smoothie and a frozen gin and mint drink. It was basically a gin mojito blended with ice. They were both delicious and refreshing in the hot weather.

Overall, the meals were on the smaller side compared to some local restaurants, but it was enough for me. I also appreciated the first page of their menu explaining how they support local farmers and use fresh natural ingredients. It's nice to see these things being considered. They also note that due to this, their prices aren't the cheapest and they don't want to encourage unsustainable farming practices. Despite this note, the prices were still very good. I think our total bill came to just under $10 USD for three meals and two drinks.

A True Cambodian Gem in the Heart of Siem Reap!

From the moment we walked into Try Me we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and perfectly captures the charm of local Cambodian culture. Every dish we ordered was bursting with authentic flavor — the Amok curry was rich and creamy, and the spring rolls were perfectly crisp and fresh. Try Me is an absolute culinary treasure. The flavors are bold, consistent, and truly mouth-watering — every single dish bursts with authentic Cambodian taste and fresh ingredients. From the first bite to the last, the balance of spices, herbs, and textures is simply perfect.

The staff are friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the presentation of the food shows real pride in their craft. Whether it’s the flavorful curries, the tender grilled meats, or the perfectly seasoned noodles — every dish is great and worth coming back for.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves unforgettable local food and genuine hospitality.

Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it an amazing value for both locals and travelers.

If you want to experience real Cambodian flavors in a relaxed and friendly setting, Try Me absolutely lives up to its name — you must try it! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Siem Reap. Try Me never...

Once you experience TRY ME, you will truly understand why it is so highly rated!

The staff were very friendly and attentive. We even chose too many dishes with rice so they took the time to warn us, ultimately leading us to buy one dish less. This was HUGE to us, it clearly showed that they valued service over money and actually cared. Not even UK staff do this even though they are trained but government standards to give top customer service.

The TRY ME special ice cocktails were incredible. The food was impeccable, especially for the price.

At first we were sceptical of coming here, the price and reviews didn't add up. But after 6 weeks we decided to finally give it a "try" and we will definitely be going back several times.

The price is similar to the local Khmer restaurant which respectfully makes nice food. TRY ME was something else all together.

The atmosphere is great and the upstairs tables with a view are amazing, especially if you like people watching.

One last thing, the menu was much smaller and specific. This is always a good sign that the restaurant has chosen quality over quantity. 🙂
