Mok Mony

Phnom Penh


A cutesy little Khmer restaurant with indoor and outdoor tables that often demand a wait. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options are available, as well as more exotic choices such as lemongrass frogs' legs. Feel free to go out of your comfort zone; if you don't like it, send it back for a different plate under the 'no question ask return' policy.
