A friendly place away from the busy markets with a large variety of good Asian food. Good spring rolls & beef lok lak (a mild Cambodian curry). Very clean. I spent about $10 which is twice as much as at a market stall but sometimes it is nice to be in an air conditioned environment when it is 30 degrees celsius outside! Friendly chatty proprietors and efficient staff. A fast and professional service. Nice place to visit if you find yourself in the Siem Reap area on Sivatha Road between the markets and the National Museum.

Saw this little restaurant on our walks about town....just a few blocks north of Pub Street and decided to give it a try. Certainly glad that we did. They serve all types of foods...Khmer, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Western...you name it. The 1st time around I had Butter Chicken ...delicious and generous and my husband had their Fish n Chips...very crispy, generous portion of white fish and ok chips. Next visit my husband tried the Pad thai ...tasty and myself the Lemon Chicken....plentiful, crisp chicken and zesty sauce, although not enough sauce. Oh yes, the pappadams were the best. Great prices and excellent service. Get a seat on the patio and watch the world walk by. Incidentally Khmer Chef and Curry Walla, the restaurant adjacent, are one in the same.

The Khmer Chef is on one side of the restaurant and the Curry Walla on the other, but you can order off both menus. We ate on the Khmer side and the chicken amok was delicious, we also tried a Pakistani dish that was also very good. The staff is friendly, and the service was fast. It was nothing fancy, but the food was delicious, cheap and the menu has something for everyone, so it was perfect for dinner with a colleague.

We walked around to find a restaurant for dinner. Though we did not do any research it was a good choice. I was very happy for finding this small restaurant. It is not a fancy restaurant but it served nice food. The portion was big for our family, We ordered only two meals for our family of 3 people, But we could not finish them. 1 Set menu is almost like for two people. Amok was tasty and the salad was good too.

Good, friendly service and nice food. Not a 'cheap eats', about average for Siem Reap. But, they do serve bigger portions of food and it is very tasty. Drinks are also cheaper here than many other places. Gave us a small plate of fruit after our meal as well.
