Sovanna 1 - Phnom Penh

Loved the bbq. Cheap eats. Very busy with locals. Some of the food was not cooked enough as foreigners should make sure to cook meat thoroughly. No problem. We sent it back and they cooked it longer. Everything tasted great.

After reading all the comment was expecting really bad service but it's not, we didn't wait that long, specially if you consider they do the dishes at the moment you order. The beer is ice cold which is really nice until we ordered one that was frozen, after talking with the waitress about that she told me to drink it like that untill finally replaced for a new one, believe service improved.Food is good but for barbecue and such you can find better in the city. Lots of Cats running around as well, don't use the bins on the ground to throw trash or cats won't leave your feet...when I arrived with my son sleeping and did a chair bed they promptly brought a pillow.

Tasty food and reasonable prices. Lots of locals eating there when we went, service is a little strange for example no matter how often I asked they wouldn't bring just one beer, they insisted on bringing two always which means one beer gets warm while you drink it??? Other than that it was a good experience.

This place ticked me off royally. It just wasn't a good service experience overall. Lucky for Sovanna, their food was good enough to redeem them a few stars in this review. Aside from our server taking quite a while to make her way to our table, after we ordered, our food took over 45 minutes to arrive. Three of the four of us dining together received food and were finished by the time the last received their meal. When we were done, the lady hassled us about how we wanted to split the bill. It was more the attitude than anything else that was bothersome. The food was quite good. I'd recommend the taro fries and the beef and basil fried rice. Everyone else seemed quite pleased with their meal. Service needs to step it up.

I have rated 3 due to the wine I ordered and the service. Positives Food is very good. Extremely good taste. Serving staff is their to help. Things that need to improve 1. 2 Glasses of wine were charged $9, despite the drinks menu clearly mentioning price as $8 2. In a glass of wine, the wine wasn't even 100 ml. (Hey I asked for a glass of wine, not wine shot) 3. Staff, as nice as they are, have real tough time understanding English. I wanted a bottle of water (which isn't cold) and it took them more than 5 minutes to understand it Despite all these, I will visit again as I loved the taste of food.
