Why it matters
Why Khmer Kitchen is worth your time
Close to the market and open long hours, Khmer Kitchen is a flexible fallback when plans change or a temple day runs late. Low prices suit a family travelling for several days.
It is not a vegetarian specialist, and the single dish recommended by the guide is a starting point, not a promise about how the kitchen handles requests. Use it where convenience matters more than a strict menu. For older travellers, a table close to the market also means a shorter ride back to the hotel afterwards.

How to experience it
Khmer Kitchen stands at the corner of Street 2 Thnou and Street 9 in the Old Market area. A vegetarian food guide lists Thai and Cambodian dishes at the lowest price level and recommends a spicy fried paste stir-fry with tofu, green beans and carrots.
The menu is mixed, so ask which dishes can be made without meat, fish sauce and oyster sauce. A dish that includes tofu can still be cooked with fish-based sauces, so say so plainly. We found no Jain information and no egg statement.
The central position makes it easy to combine with the Old Market in the morning. Go before the evening crowds if you prefer a quieter table, and confirm hours since the one source for them is a blog.
