I decided to try Khmer Surin Restaurant after seeing 800 plus reviews and that it has a great rating. The door experience did not disappoint. The cozy vibe of the place, with its traditional decor and soft lighting, sets the stage for a great dining experience. I had the thick Tom Yum soup and the explosion of taste was a masterpiece for me. It's a masterful blend of flavors where the classic sourness of Tom Yum is harmoniously balanced with the sweetness and creaminess of coconut milk. Each spoonful is a testament to the chef's skill in creating a dish that is both comforting and exotic. I finished my meal with a comforting cup of warm tea. It was nicely decorated and ends my meal on a pleasurable note. Khmer Surin isn't just a restaurant; the culinary experience that stayed with me long after the meal is over. I can still remember the tom yum taste a week after while I am writing this review. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking to explore Khmer food in Phnom Penh.

My husband having dine here before brought me because I wanted to try some Khmer food on my first visit to Phnom Penh. Upon looking at the menu, I noticed the similarity to Thai cuisine. Tom Yum kung soup , green curry chicken are common items in Khmer. The restaurant decor looks pretty authentic. We ordered Fish Amok which was really good. Chunks of fish, coconut flavoured seasoning and steamed on a small banana leaf basket. The beef loc lac was slightly tough, however, it was tasty. Vegetable stir fry was common.( nothing to shout about) We had 2 avocado shakes. Ambience is really pretty, it does feel like I am in Cambodia. Most guest inside were foreigners. Not sure why, maybe this restaurant is too expensive for the locals. 3 dishes, 2 avocado shakes, 1 bottle water came to 31 USD which is not exactly cheap by local standards. I would come here again just for the fish amok.

We came here based on the reviews after a long bus ride from Siem Reap. We arrived around 8:45pm, hungry for dinner. Sadly this place disappointed us and we would not recommend if you are a foodie who has been travelling around SEA. We ordered the pad Thai after reading a raving review about it. The portion was small and flavourless. Made with vermicelli noodles, not flat noodles. The papaya salad, although we asked for medium spicy, was not spicy at all. The lemon grass iced tea was literally just water, ice, and three pieces of chopped lemon grass. When I asked if this was the iced tea, they said it was and it was mixed with water. The avocado smoothie was warm. The only saving grace was the spring rolls which were tasty but could not make up for the total price of $19 USD. Too expensive for the portion and quality. As a plus, the staff and service were very kind. But Unfortunately our least favourite meal so far in Cambodia

We used to like to go to Khmer Surin Restaurant, but suddenly it was closed, and the building was being gutted. It moved across the street and is now back to its eclectic glory. Everywhere you look is some sort of obscure little Khmer artifact of curio – from ancient coconut scraping stools to the shutters and doors that make the ceiling. The food is reasonably priced and quite tasty. We were a group of eleven and the staff (short as they were that evening) put together some tables to accommodate us. The guy who took our drink order was gifted with quite a memory as he brought all our drinks to the right person (no small feat as we all look alike to the Khmer). I highly recommend the Khmer Surin Restaurant. We did not stay at the guesthouse, but the place looks amazing, too.

Authentic and delicious Khmer food in a small proportion and slightly pricey but acceptable. The atmosphere is great for couples, families, and friends, or alone perhaps. I recommend lighting the place up a bit more because it seems and feels a bit dark. Another thing is the menu should have Khmer names as well, overall this is a Khmer restaurant. Live traditional music is also played occasionally. Update: Since this place has moved location to the front of the old place, the design is amazing now and everything is very lit up. Another thing is that the menu now also has Khmer in it which is an improvement from last time. Also, the food here is still one of the best authentic Khmer food I’ve ever tasted in Phnom Penh.

This restaurant was in our hotel so when we arrived late ish in the city we figured it was just easy. Don’t bother. No veggie options at all so I decided to try the sea bass. Two mouthfuls I’m I realised it wasn’t cooked properly. The skin was put the flesh inside was not. The risotto with it was not nice either. I was asked why I didn’t eat my food and I explained I really didn’t like it. The staff appeared to point me out to someone in charge and he didn’t come over. The staff are friendly but if you don’t eat steak then not the place for you. The food looked good so it was a shame. Expensive too. The saving grace for this place is the breakfast is great.
