Tours & Activities in Phnom Penh


Kun Khmer is most well known for its kicking technique, which generates power from hip rotation rather than snapping the leg. Kun Khmer consists of four types of strikes: punches, kicks, elbows, and knee strikes. The clinch is used to wear down the opponent. In the clinch, opponents battle for a dominant position for short-range strikes by way of elbows and knees. Cambodian fighters tend to utilize more elbow strikes than other martial arts in the region. In Kun Khmer, more victories come by way of an elbow technique than any other strike.

Great restaurant, all for good cause as well. Nice staff and great eating choices. Had chicken curry which was amazing.
Fantastic restaurant in a lovely space. Friendly, attentive staff with a focus on creative and flavourful dishes. If you value quantity over quality, then perhaps you should try elsewhere. If, however, you want interesting, beautifully presented and delicious food and to also support a good cause, then Friends is quite simply a must in Phnom Penh.
This was honestly some of the best food I've eaten in a very long time! Inventive flavors and top quality, fresh products, well done!
We loved it so much that we went 3 times! Every single dish we ate was fantastic. The staff are also super kind. And the story behind the restaurant makes it even more worth it.
So happy this restaurant is back open! Very delicious food, super friendly staff and an amazing space! To top all of that off, all proceeds go to an amazing cause! My favourite dishes so far have been the pesto penne and the eggplant pork. The northern Thai chicken curry is the closest rendition of Khao Soi I've had outside of Thailand and is perfect when craving a warm curry hug. They have rotating, creative specials too! I love this place and can't wait to see what they do next!
