Authentic Cambodian - lots of mock meat

This is a Vegetarian and vegan restaurant. They offer a good selection of dishes and they have a big selection of mock meats. The portion sizes are good, the staff are super friendly.
It is open at 6am so whilst still with my jetlag I walked from the riverside to this restaurant for an early breakfast. The walk is awesome and you will see some real Cambodia and so I recommend this. The food is very tasty and I had some deep fried 'chicken legs' which were impressive. Whilst I was there, groups of Buddhists stopped by to say a prayer for the shop. All in all, a great experience.

Pros: Mock meat options, Tasty dishes, Experience walking here and watching life go by.

Amazing!

I went a couple times to this restaurant and both times had great food. Highly recommend the noodle soup and the steamed dumplings 😋

Something I also really appreciated was having a very cold tea as soon as I sat down.

Many mock meats

A more limited menu than other places, this restaurant has lots of mock meat options. This is not personally to my taste but my boyfriend thought the mock meats were great. Staff are friendly and it feels like a real locals place.

Pros: Local feel, Cheap prices

Cons: Lack of tofu or vegetable options

Great bao buns

The bao buns (two for 7000 riel) were really great. I came at 2 PM and worried it might be closed, but it seems they’re open all afternoon. I’ll totally come back here, given that the food is cheap and great quality.

The entries don’t have egg aren’t marked, you just have to ask. The bao buns are all vegan. The fried mock chicken legs have egg. athe fried mock pork does not.

Fast, delicious and possibly the cheapest veggie place in town

Super appreciated the free iced jasmine tea and broth that came with my meal. I ordered a fried noodle with veggie ham, specified no egg (there wasn’t any shown in the picture but I just wanted to make sure) and it arrived very quickly. Good size portions, super cheap, comfortable seating and friendly service.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Very inexpensive, Quick and attentive service

{Update} Good place, they changed the menu!

For vegans, make sure that they don’t use eggs on the dishes. It doesn’t say it but they put eggs, so tell them not to. They are very kind and flexible.

Pros: Lot of options , Good taste

Cons: Not expensive but could be cheaper

A simple and good place owned by a smiling family

The food was really really good, we asked if the dish named ‘pork something’ was really vegan, the smiling mom came to tell us that she’s been vegetarian for 25 years and that yes everything is vegan and gave us the recepe. Very low prices, we almost couldn’t finish the food, would def recommend it!😄

Fried buns to die for, cheap!

This review comes two years late, but I took a couple of my non-veg friends here and everyone enjoyed it. Super cheap, excellent portions, and the fried stuffed buns I still think about to this day. This is definitely not a tourist spot and it’s as authentic as it gets. I remember communication was a bit of a struggle, but everyone was friendly regardless!

A small mostly vegan veg joint in the heart of Phnom Penh.

Hardly anything fancy, but the food is cheap and good.

Not too bad

One of the rare cheap veggie restaurants in Phnom Penh. My boyfriend ordered a noodle soup and I ordered the "beef" lok lak rice and a mung bean bun. The lok lak dish was alright, but nothing special. Apparently the soup tasted good, but the noodles were severely overcooked. The mung bean bun was OK, but quite plain. Don't order coffee here because it is almost flavourless (almost like drinking brown water). Otherwise it's OK, we would probably have come back to try other dishes from the menu, but we had to leave PP early.

Cheap, tasty, and easy to find.

We ordered noodles soup and fried rice here, everything was cooked real quick.

There's a free tea in Chinese style, a fan above almost every table, and WiFi. The portions are relatively big and the prices are between 5K and 7K riel.

The owner speaks English, the girls don't.

Pros: A variety of vegan/vegetarian food, Low prices, Easy to find

Cons: Nothing really

One of the best deals in town.

Nice friendly staff. Good portions (you can even choose size) with genuinely good tasting generously filled soup. My favorite place here!

Little gem

The place is not easy to find but one you do, the good is very nice, fresh and cheap. We got three soups with noodles and two vegetarian bao buns for a total of $6. Very pleasant staff but little English. Menu has a basic translation in English with pictures.

Pros: cheap, authentic, many options
