About Pou Restaurant & Bar

Chef Mork Mengly’s playful neighborhood restaurant — "pou" means uncle — serving Khmer comfort food refined with serious technique: prahok, lake fish, and family dishes most menus skip.

Why we love it

The mid-priced sweet spot: more interesting than the Pub Street standards, far cheaper than the tasting menus, and full of dishes you will not find at home.

Good to Know

Do I need a reservation at Pou Restaurant & Bar?

Walk-ins are generally fine; evenings around 7–8pm are busiest in high season.

What payment is accepted?

US dollars are standard everywhere (bring small bills; change comes in riel), and most established restaurants also take cards — though a 2–3% card fee is common.
