because every time I go there and eat, it is good. Furthermore, the service is good, not pushy. Fresh ingredients, nice choice, for meat, fish and also for vegetarian food. Go there regularly and never were disappointed.

It is the inherent challenge of any grading system: inevitably there are those border liners that just fall exactly between the labels and numbers. My experience at Ocean was certainly better than "average". The service was lovely, the decor pleasantly unobtrusive (verging on non-descript or bare), the food well prepared, fresh and light, the wine a nice pairing with the... More

We tried the best rated restaurants in Phnom Phen. Our hotel (The 252) suggested several they felt were the best according to their guests. We stumbled on "Ocean" a couple of blocks from our hotel. We were "blown away" by the friendliness and food taste and quality. Then we ate at the reported "best in the City". We tried several,... More

This restaurant is quite excellent. The food is very good (average 20-30 USD) great wines. There is a special south-east asian touch in the different meals. The owner is german and VERY friendly. A nice place toi rest after a workday when you're fed up of cambodian food.

good food, friendly staff, nice owner ... elegant but relaxed atmosphere. As a Phnom Penh'er ... we dont have a big Range of cool locations down here in the south. BKK1 is exploding with Coffee Shops and Restaurants most of them are the "Asian artificial way". Ocean is steady, cool, good quality and a wonderful place, to have a nice... More

Ocean remains, after my two-year stay in Phnom Penh, as my consistent favorite. Why? Always great food served in a small restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere (I like to sit outside - and the 'outside' tables are nicely removed from the street in a private setting), with good service (they will never rush you through a meal - you can...

Absolutely delicious!! Ate here near the end of my trip to Cambodia- best meal of the trip! I had a green salad, grilled shrimp and green beans with mashed potatoes. This place was recommended to me and I'm so glad we went. I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in Phnom Penh!

Sat in the outer area, a lot of street noise but OK. Service reasonable, but a little slow. The place was full and the staff perhaps stretched. Seafood (prawns + squid) spears and salad. Squid plate with roast potatoes, eggplant and spinach. Finished off with the famous chocolate mousse. All tasty, but nothing exceptional. House white wine (Italian) palatable and... More

Have eaten there twice now. The atmosphere outside is better than inside, as the inside is very loud. It is reasonably priced food, although I don't find the food to be the main attraction. The staff is friendly as is the owner. Would recommend for a date, where you get value for your money.
