Phnom Penh suits a filling, moderately priced lunch or early dinner in Chinatown, and it holds a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 Michelin Guide. Expect to queue, because Michelin's inspector says a line usually forms soon after it opens.
What to order
- Number 71: nearly raw beef in a pineapple and fish sauce purée
- Golden fried chicken wings
Phnom Penh has served Vietnamese and Cambodian food since 1985, and Michelin calls it a family-run Chinatown institution. The menu runs to nearly 100 dishes, and the inspector advises sticking with the classics. The top pick is number 71, where nearly raw slices of beef sit in a tangy purée of pineapple and fish sauce. Michelin also likes the golden fried chicken wings and the beef luc lac with a fried egg.
Portions are big enough that leftovers are likely. Michelin lists it closed on Tuesdays. Doors open at 11 am on the other days and close at 8 pm until Thursday, then at 9 pm from Friday to Sunday. OpenStreetMap shows 11 am to 9 pm every day, and the restaurant's old web address now lands on a parked page, so phone 604-682-5777 before a late visit.
Worth knowing
- Get there before the 11 am opening if you want to beat the line Michelin describes.
