Where to Eat the Best Phnom Penh Noodle Soup? You can’t truly experience Phnom Penh without tasting the iconic Phnom Penh noodle soup, a cornerstone of Khmer cuisine and the number one breakfast choice for locals.

This traditional soup is made with rice noodles served in a flavorful broth and topped with a variety of options depending on your taste: minced pork and offal, fish balls, or shrimp dumplings. There’s a version of this dish for everyone, which makes it one of the most popular local foods in Phnom Penh.

The best way to enjoy it like a local is to dip crispy fried dough sticks into the soup. The mini fritters served at this restaurant are perfectly sized and absolutely delicious.

The place I recommend has been around for over 35 years and is mainly frequented by locals. It’s a classic authentic Khmer restaurant, open to the street, where people stop for breakfast before heading to work.

Open every day in the morning from 5:00 am to 12:30 pm (from 6:00 am on Saturday), this spot is a must-visit if you’re looking for a genuine local breakfast experience in Phnom Penh.
