NiGiRi LaB à Phnom Penh

Set in Phnom Penh, NiGiRi LaB has become one of the neighbourhood's dependable japanese food stops. It is the kind of place you end up returning to rather than seeking out once, and it tends to stay busy without feeling rushed. ## 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. ## How it rates Diners have left it a 4.0 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 For context, 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 Monday to Saturday. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. One to keep on the list for your next trip across town.
