Saibal told me that I needed to try this restaurant and he was right. The sign on the road says “Beef Stix,” but that was a previous version of the restaurant. The current place, Pnomh Penh, still serves Cambodian food but is a sit-down restaurant with simple but elegant service.

That may have been my fault in part—I went for a medium burger and something slightly less cooked may have given more flavor. The onion rings were very well done.
