En Sushi Omakase

If you want japanese food in BKK1, Phnom Penh, En Sushi Omakase is an easy recommendation. It has settled into its spot over the years, and the room fills with a mix of first-timers working through a guide and locals on their usual table.

On the menu

You will find japanese, sushi and asian here. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. The cooking is the draw rather than the setting, and the menu is broad enough that a mixed group will all find something.

Around here

BKK1 has its own character within Phnom Penh, and En Sushi Omakase is part of what keeps people coming back to the area. Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon.

Getting there

Getting here is straightforward by tuk-tuk or a ride-hailing app; give the driver the name and the area rather than a street number, which is how most people navigate in Cambodia. Fares for a ride like this are low by most standards, and agreeing the price or using the app rate up front avoids the usual haggle at tourist-heavy spots.

Before you go

It opens on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun. Lunchtime and early evening are the safe windows; later in the night some places wind the kitchen down before the listed closing time. It is an easy stop if you are already around BKK1.
