Sakaban Restaurant

If you want drinks in Sen Sok, Phnom Penh, Sakaban Restaurant 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.

What to expect

Expect barbecue, asian and cambodian on the menu. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. It gets going in the evening and holds a crowd late, with the food menu there to keep you going rather than to be the main event.

How it rates

Diners have left it a 5.0 average from 6 reviews, and the praise is consistent rather than a one-off spike. Ratings on their own do not tell you everything, but a score this steady over that many visits usually means you will get roughly what the last few hundred people got.

Where it sits

You are in Sen Sok here, so it is easy to fold a visit into a wander around that side of Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive by tuk-tuk or ride-hailing app. Use the map on this page rather than the street address, and allow a little extra time in the middle of the day when the heat slows everything down. If you are coming from the riverside or a central hotel it is a quick hop; from further out, factor in traffic at the start and end of the working day.

Planning a visit

It is open every day. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. Handy to know about when you are in the Sen Sok part of town.
