“ This was such a good experience, I arrived thinking I was lost but it was just a very local restaurant, they serve mainly organic chicken but they can provide stir fried rice as well. It was so pleasant and right away the owner gave me mangos right off the try. ”
“ It's used to be my favorite local restaurant in Siemreap, Angkor for years! But currently the taste disappointed me the chicken not fresh and tasty like before! The coconut ice cream even terrible and not worst to pay 2$ for it! The owner need to take look on it ! ”
“ Had Lunch here, food was good and service staffs were friendly. If you want to be quick call for pre-order and book in advance. Foods took more than 40mn to arrive. They have moved all the seating area from nearby the water to under the house on the other side of the road. PS: There will be a lot of small kids and people keep coming to sell stuffs like fan, flutes, fruits…. It’s a bit of annoying while you need some rest and relax. ”
“ The food just so good and accept price, the environment pretty good and relaxing. Recommend for lunch time ”
“ Great food, best atmosphere a place to try around sras srong area ”
“ I loved this place so much! Hidden gem tucked away near Angkor wat. Absolutely loved the roast chicken and vegetables. Everything was so fresh and the atmosphere was so calm. Highly recommend! ”
“ *Food and drink*: 5 stars. 100% local taste and yummy. *Price* : in my opinion it is not expensive. Especially with those big portion. *Service* : 3 stars. Hard to call out the staff. And I would highly recommend to book the place in advance or call to order in advance. Because they take long time to cook. And this place is well-known among local people as well. Also I've seen a group of tourist going there. *Hygiene* : 2 stars. For the utensils they provided was clean. But they should have clean up the bottles laying around the area. Also the cusion for sitting look gross. And what annoyed me the most is we have to chasing away their dogs and flocks of chicken that asking for our food. The chicken kept on flying up to our table to get rice grain which is very disturbing. *Environment, location and Atmosphere* : The location is in rural area around Srah Srang and require driving into a small alley. I would recommend for traveler who want to have local experience. You can have Srah Srang view from your table. Please be aware that they don't have AC. What I don't like is mentioned in Hygiene section. ”
“ One of the restaurants near Sarah Srang, this place surrounded by trees and green grass. This restaurant never silent, it full of people from Siem Reap and others province who had been here before and want to come back again because of the taste of foods here. There are only Chicken and fish only on the menu. Good place good food ”
