The short answer
The Corn: what visitors should know first
Worth trying if you want Khmer dishes without meat, including amok. The guide says nearly all mains are vegan and meat can be added for a fee, but fish sauce and egg are unconfirmed, so ask before you order.

Why it matters
Why The Corn is worth your time
Khmer cooking leans heavily on fish sauce and prahok, so finding a restaurant that adapts national dishes for vegetarians is useful for a family that still wants to taste local food. Amok is the dish most visitors associate with Cambodia, and here you can try a version without meat.
The gap in the evidence is what replaces the fish and seasoning, so treat the guide's description as a starting point. Ask openly, and decide whether the answer fits your household's rules before ordering.

How to experience it
A vegetarian guide describes The Corn as serving traditional Khmer dishes made meat-free, including vegetarian amok, with cocktails, and says nearly all mains are vegan. Chicken, fish or prawn can be added for a fee, so the kitchen handles meat as well, which matters for strict diners. The entrance is an alley off the north end of Independence Monument Park, at 26 Street 269.
Amok is a Khmer coconut curry usually steamed in a banana leaf, and the vegetarian version here is the dish the guide names. Order it with rice, and ask what replaces the fish and whether fish sauce, shrimp paste or egg are used, since the guide does not say.
Because meat can be added, ask the staff how they prevent cross-contact if that concerns you. Confirm opening hours before you go.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Ask what flavours the amok instead of fish
- Confirm no fish sauce, shrimp paste or egg
- Ask about cross-contact with meat
- Find the alley entrance on a map
