Mona Garden

Mona Garden is a japanese food spot in Toul Kork, Phnom Penh that regulars come back to. The pull here is consistency more than novelty, which is exactly what you want when you are booking somewhere you have not tried.

What to expect

Expect japanese and sushi on the menu. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. Dishes come out in generous, shareable sizes, so a table of three or four can order a spread and try a bit of everything.

Where it sits

You are in Toul Kork 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.

How to get 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

Hours are not always fixed, so a quick check before heading over saves a wasted journey. 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 Toul Kork part of town.
