Très déçu par ce restaurant qui se veut gastronomique. Pendant que nous mangions, un ouvrier en train de bricoler, en plein milieu de la salle sur une échelle, une nappe avec un trou, ça ne fait vraiment pas chic, et réunion de travail de toutes les serveuses pendant le service.
Nous n'étions que quatre dans la salle, et pourtant très mauvais service, nourriture très moyenne et en plus problème sur la note, on a dû discuter et même s'énerver pour qu'on veuille bien nous encaisser ce qu'on avait demandé et pas autre chose. Une des serveuses était sympa mais c'est tout.
Why such a great rating ?
I am really happy we only went there for lunch to have a try with an acceptable price. There is a lunch menu for 19,5$, 3 courses and a teaser to steader. I admit the dishes are beautiful and nicely presented. I did not like the teaser so did not eat it, the soup was good, the main meal I really did not like. A raw shrimp cut in half and placed at the extremity of a cannelloni made with a raw cucumber and stuffed with peppers in a sort of sauce. The dessert was ok. But the service was awful even thought the place was empty. We also had an issue with the final bill. And other things bothered me like the man with the ladder in the restaurant while we are eating and the tablecloth outside with a hole ….
Merveilleuse surprise
J'ai déjeuner dans ce restaurant ce midi. J'ai tellement apprécié la cuisine que j'y suis, retourné le soir même. La salle est élégante. Le service est précis et attentionné. La qualite de la cuisine est impressionnante : la soupe aux joues de boeuf avait une extraordinaire profondeur de goût et était très équilibrée ; les salades mélangaient de nombreuses saveurs et etaient parfaitement assaisonnées. Les plats étaient bien présentés et fleuris. Juste un point d'amélioration : les nappes blanches ne semblent pas être changées entre les repas du midi et du soir. Il y avait des tâches le soir sur la nappe.

Great food but please slow down
Superb food, finest we have experienced in Phnom Penh. Service far too fast for a restaurant with fine dining ambitions. Some confusion over booking and deals online, but we didn’t really want a complimentary mojito anyway! Cannot fault the food, or service, other than it was too fast despite our attempts to slow things down.

Dear Kirsten,Greetings from Sombok Restaurant,First of all, we would like to thank you very much for your kind given us 4 bobbles over your experienced in our fine dining restaurant. On behalf of it, my apologize for the speed we are practicing over the operation. Our restaurant's operation also served as a business operation and usually Phnom Penh people need speedy service as they do not have much time to spend over meal. Mostly only 45mn or one hour, so we get used into it. Our mojito is only offered when book through our website only. Thank you for your feedback and kind suggestion.Sincerely,LeapMs. OEURN Srey LeapGeneral Manager of Sombok Restaurant, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia
Cambodia fine dining
Lovely place for lunch. This is five star cambodian cuisine, completely staffed by women. Fabulous food, outstanding service, and supporting local ladies who need some financial help. It's good food with a great cause.

Lovely dinner on the waterfront
We had dinner here on a Sunday evening, outside on the riverfront was mobbed and we were looking for some peace and tranquillity for dinner, we definitely found it at Sombok. Our food was extremely good and a complimentary drink for booking directly was most welcome too!
