If you’re looking for some exceptional Khmer food, then one of the best places in Sihanoukville is Koh Por Food Shop. You won’t find it highlighted on any review sites, but it is extremely popular among the local (more affluent) Khmer due to the huge variety of dishes and the outstanding quality of food.
Choose from delicacies like shark, snails, or turtle, or try a more common dish like Loc Lac. Our personal favourite is ‘Fried Fish Sour Sweet’ – An incredible deep fried fish dish for only $3.50! If you struggle to decide what you’d like to try, ask one of the English-speaking waiters for recommendations when you’re there. Be aware however that the service can sometimes be a bit slow due to the popularity of this restaurant.
Directions: Koh Por Food Shop is a 10 minute walk from the Golden Lions roundabout – If you’re coming from Serendipity / Ochheuteal beach, cross over by the Golden Lions and follow that main road (Ekareach Street) past Lucky Ocean supermarket on your right hand side. When you reach the big bend in the road, Koh Por is right on that corner (you might see a lot of big buses or nice cars parked here).
