Sambo Khmer & Thai Restaurant

A member of our tour group recommended this restaurant and we recommend it to you. The Amok with fish was amazing as was the Beef Lok Lak. If you want to taste Cambodian food at its best this is a good choice. They have misters and fans so it's comfortably cool. Our waitress was so pleasant with a ready and beautiful smile. The music was just right- not too loud, just easy background music. We were so impressed we went back for lunch!

We had an amazing meal here!! We shared the Khmer red curry, the pad thai and the pork spring rolls, everything was so delicious!! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, we even had a chat with the lovely owner who thanked us for visiting! I would 100% recommend this restaurant, it is the perfect place to try local cuisine in a beautiful restaurant, thank you!!

We really wanted to fall head-over-heels for Sambo Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we loved the awesome decor and the super cozy atmosphere. The server was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from start to finish. It’s the kind of place you just want to hang out in. ​The Drinks & Apps: We started with a passion fruit soda and a ginger soda. Both were made fresh and were absolutely delicious—really bright and refreshing. We ended the meal with the banana and chocolate spring rolls, which were a tasty, sweet high note to finish on. ​The Main Course: The kitchen definitely knows how to cook—the techniques were spot on, but the seasoning felt a bit shy. ​Chicken Schnitzel: It was perfectly cooked and crispy, though it definitely needed a bit more salt to bring it to life. ​Chicken Panang & Pad Krapow: While the ingredients were fresh and the chicken was tender, both dishes were lacking the explosive flavor and depth you usually expect with Thai cuisine. They were a little on the bland side for our taste. ​The Verdict: Sambo is a very nice place with wonderful people and a great "soul." The food is cooked with care, but it just needs more of that bold, spicy, and savory "oomph" to match the incredible energy of the space. We’d love to come back and see if the kitchen finds its fire!

Great food, really good and yummy. We went twice in two days for dinner and enjoyed the food. The staff is super nice. We had the passionfruit soda which was really good. We had a few Khmer speciality food all of it which was yumm. Do try the stir fry vegetable. Loved it loved it thank you

Cannot rate this restaurant enough. 10/10. We found it on Google and we are SO happy we did. The menu is vast, has lots of choices for vegetarians. A mix of Khmer and Thai dishes. It’s our Anniversary today and wanted to go somewhere special, the restaurant decor is great and all the staff are friendly and welcoming. The owner is a very lovely lady and takes time to chat to customers. She made our evening by bringing us a dessert and wishing us a happy anniversary. So kind and thoughtful. We tried the Sambo cocktails and they were delicious. I had the chicken Thai massaman curry and it was so tasty and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My husband had the tofu with cashew nuts and mixed vegetables and he said it was very good. Quality ingredients. A memorable evening and I cannot recommend this place enough. If you visit Siam Reap pay this beautiful restaurant a visit for sure.
