We absolutely love this restaurant which has distinctive flavors representing Cambodia's fine food tradition. My favorite dish is the baked seafood Amok, cooked in a banana leaf, but honestly, there are so many beautifully prepared, delicious, varied dishes. The service is warm and attentive. We are always welcomed and greeted when we come here by the owner and lovely, friendly wait staff. We highly recommend this hidden treasure of a restaurant.
I came to Bayon on a Sunday night with a few friends as I had heard great things from this UES establishment (formerly Angkor Cambodian
Bistro). This was my first time trying Cambodian food and I am hooked! The dishes were incredibly flavorful and unique, and I can't wait to try more of the menu! We ordered:
- Fried vegetable dumplings: interesting texture made with rice flour, almost like mochi
- Prahok crudite: I was nervous about this one with the fermented fish...read full review
