I visited this place in march 2012. The food is mostly mediocre Chinese and Korean Buffet (unlimited) with 2-3 cooking stations. The show, however, is excellent, Be sure to reserve early at a good table near the stage. This will ensure a good view, good close-up photography in the low light, and no annoying people standing up in front of... More

Went to this restaurant for Apsara dinner show. The show is just OK, but the food is great. They offer enormous variety of foods: Khmer dishes, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and countless desserts including fresh fruits. You could not possibly try all the foods they offer, so we made few selections and liked them all: Amok fish cook w/ curry &... More

We put money down ahead of time at the suggestion of our tuk tuk driver and it positioned us toward the front of the room. There is a reason you get a "free" Apsara show with your $12 dinner and that is because they pack the place. The buffet was good if you like mosh-pits; the food appeared good if... More

Went as part of tour group and audience largely the same. However was better than expected. Food in buffet was fresh, with several live cookstations, and varied. Show was good quality, marred only by stage invasion at end by Korean/Japanese tourists who posed with performers ad nauseum. Felt sorry for latter who missed out on rightful acclaim by rest of...

My tuk-tuk driver, sammy, made a reservation here for me because I wanted to see a show of Cambodian dancing. For $12, there was a fantastic buffet selection of Cambodian foods from which to choose. The foods were set on several tables, organized according to type. There was even a place where a chef made you noodle dishes as you... More

The food is very poor quality and we experienced food poisoning the next morning. Save your 6 dollars and enjoy a nice dinner at many of the great restaurants in Siem Reap. You may however want to catch the show at 7:30pm for $6. It's interesting with beautiful costumes and worth a night's entertainment. More

Ambience is great. Square table sitting arrangement by row. It's buffet style 'eat as much as you can'. Buffet start at 6:30pm, the show start at 7:30pm (1-hour). Be early for booking seats. If you are on tour, inform your tour guide early booking. The cultural show reflects the dance of Cambodia (also known as Apsara). Be early bird to... More
