" I recently tried Phnom Penh, and to say it was delightful would be an understatement! The ambiance was lively—the perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the butter beef was incredible, the garlic squid was less impressive. It was slightly over-seasoned, which didn’t allow the natural flavor of the squid to shine. However, the service was prompt, and we did not have to wait long for anything. Don't skip the wings, they're truly something special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Phnom Penh is a real gem! I took my family there last weekend, and we all had a great time. The butter beef was flavorful and tender, and I'm craving it again as I write this! The chicken wings were deliciously crispy with a perfect amount of seasoning. Service was good, but we did have a bit of a wait for a table. The atmosphere was lively, and I appreciated how well the staff managed the crowd. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for authentic Southeast Asian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked into Phnom Penh, the vibrant atmosphere was palpable. I ordered the butter beef and the famous chicken wings, both of which lived up to the hype! The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the wings had a unique flavor that is hard to find elsewhere. The service was excellent; my server was attentive without being intrusive. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for fantastic Vietnamese or Cambodian cuisine. The only downside was that it can get quite crowded, so be prepared to wait. Still, I would definitely go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Phnom Penh really is an iconic spot in the city! We went in hungry after reading about their butter beef and wings and were not disappointed. Both dishes were incredibly tasty! The butter beef had a silky texture, and the wings were crispy and had the right amount of seasoning. We were lucky and didn't have to wait long for a table. An overall enjoyable dining experience where the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy. I plan on returning soon to explore more dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food-wise, we can't fault the offerings at Phnom Penh. The chicken wings were everything we had hoped they would be. My only criticism would be that the wait time was a bit excessive, but the atmosphere was bustling and fun. The butter beef was delicious and a great testament to the authenticity of the cuisine. I would definitely recommend coming early to avoid the rush. A must-visit for anyone wanting to experience flavor-packed Vietnamese and Cambodian dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Phnom Penh is a popular spot that we decided to check out after hearing rave reviews. I have to say, the butter beef is not just a title; it is genuinely delightful! I also enjoyed the chicken wings, which had a nice crunch. The entire experience was smooth; the staff was vigilant about taking care of our needs. Although there was quite a long wait to get in, I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys Southeast Asian flavors. The ambiance was lively, although a bit loud. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Phnom Penh was solid. The butter beef was exquisite, and the service was prompt. However, the portions felt slightly smaller than I expected for the price. The atmosphere was lively, but on the loud side. I guess that’s what you get at a popular spot! I would recommend it for the food alone, especially the chicken wings which were crispy and flavorful. Just make sure to bring friends to share, as it’s easier that way! " (*Curated Review*)
