There are many Japanese restaurants in Phnom Penh, but there is only Sakana Lab, the Japanese seafood restaurant with the theme of “Fish”. Sakana Lab as a whole is a small retro Japanese style two-story building with a strong sense of substitution in the exterior and interior. The warm seats on the first floor and the VIP room on the second floor, coupled with the Qing Japanese decoration style. As soon as I entered the door, I felt like I had walked into the heartwarming “late-night canteen”. Different from the kitchen layout in the “late-night cafeteria, this is not an open kitchen, but it is also a carefully decorated Japanese restaurant. The shop is designed by the owner himself. The whole wall is decorated with the happy fishes in the sea so that everyone can feel in such a space and breath from the sea and enjoy many different kinds of food with fresh fish. Perhaps many people have heard that seafood and Japanese food are both expensive, but the prices here are different according to everyone’s order. The overall consumption is about US$20 per person. You can experience authentic seafood dishes at a reasonable price.

However, unlike other bars, this bar named “Modern” in Khmer is only open on Thursday night, and at other times it is the only professional rum winery in Cambodia.

This is a very magical restaurant, located on the inconspicuous second floor. You can’t see it when you pass by. Because the location is very secret, if no one leads the way, you won’t find or know it. It is said that it is an old store with a history of 100 years. The decorative tables and chairs inside are made of wood. The atmosphere is very quiet. It is a place suitable for sitting down and slowly tasting authentic Cambodian food, but remember to make an appointment! We must try the snail. It’s big and tastes very special. It’s a bit like pork, but it’s chewier. Another special dish is the Tonkin creeper. Some people translated it into Chinese as night lavender, others say jasmine. In short, it is a kind of flower and then fried with garlic. It is one of the top dishes in the restaurant.
