Reviews Summary
Kroya by Chef Chanrith offers an exquisite fine dining experience with modern Cambodian cuisine that garners high praise for its innovative flavors and beautiful presentation. Diners frequently commend the exceptional service, personalized touches for special occasions, and the elegant ambiance, particularly the unique outdoor swing bed seating. While the overall experience is highly positive, some reviews hint at a desire for more storytelling behind the dishes, although this is a minor point in an otherwise stellar culinary journey.
"Dining at Kroya Restaurant was an absolute delight! We opted for the 4-course tasting menu, and it was an unforgettable experience. The flavors were incredibly well-balanced, showcasing the best of Khmer cuisine, which, to my delight, is mostly gluten-free by nature.
I have to follow a gluten-free diet, and the kitchen accommodated this perfectly – everything was either already gluten-free or adjusted without compromising on taste or quality. It was such a relief to enjoy a fine dining experience without any worries.
The service was outstanding, with the staff ensuring every detail was perfect. Their knowledge of the dishes and warm hospitality made the evening even more special.
And of course, the food was simply phenomenal – every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavors. From the delicate starters to the perfectly executed main courses and the indulgent dessert, every bite was a treat.
If you’re in Siem Reap, a visit to Kroya Restaurant is an absolute must!"

"Our experience at Kroya Restaurant was absolutely wonderful. Our server, Liza, explained the six-course menu thoroughly, making it easy to enjoy each dish to its fullest. Solin also checked in on us and chatted warmly, adding a personal and friendly touch to the service. The food was truly exceptional—each course beautifully presented and delicious. To make my visit extra special, they surprised me with a cake and flowers for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The afternoon tea was also delightful, with a lovely selection of treats. The staff even helped us take a nice photo to remember the day. Overall, the service at Kroya was impeccable, and the combination of beautiful food, attentive staff, and thoughtful touches made our visit truly memorable."

"Def will return.
One of my favorites restaurants during this trip. I’ve wonderful experience.
When I first passed by this hotel after visiting the little arty market on Oum Khun Street, my first feeling is ‘oh so colonial’. The swing beds seem to move one back in time.
We’ve dinner indoor and afternoon tea out door on the swing bed.
Decor is elegant and classy. The indoor floor to ceiling glass wall offer the full view of the swimming beds and the street.
White linen napkin with black trim, very handsome looking.
Atop a ring of jasmine, is four fat Indian lotus. They must be infatuated with flowers because many of their foods have flowers and leaves, that are edible.
Very good stems.
The service is wonderful and the foods are delicious. We’ve two small different tasting menus by chef Chanrith. (The full menu at nahm was just too much!)
The among of food is fine, would be better if it’s slightly less. The presentation and taste are excellent.
They care enough to ask if we want our dessert immediately or after five minutes.
It’s an 80 degree night, comfortable with or without a thin shawl. We’ve our desserts out on their swing bed. I can see myself falling asleep on it, after a satisfying meal."
