We had a great time! The food choices were not great. The restaurant wasn’t packed at all, but yet the servers made it abundantly clear that you only had 90 minutes to eat and get out. There weee a bunch of open tables yet they held to that policy. Big mistake if you as me

The food was very good. I am Cambodian myself and I loved how the chef used the flavors authentic to Cambodia and put her own twist on it — like the bone marrow plate. We did the “A Tasting Journey Through Siem Reap” with 5 courses and not 1 was disappointing. Well worth the $95 per person price tag! I would come again and I would definitely recommend this place to others!
