My fiance and I had lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon in May at the suggestion of our the congenial general manager at Heritage Suites. We were delighted to took his suggestion. We relaxed and lounged over a 75 minute multi-course lunch which amounted to $7 per person if I remember correctly. The food was excellent, the crowd pleasant, the... More

We thought Vietnamese food was the best in SE Asia until we ate at Sala Bai. We ate here twice and both times it was fabulous. The trainee serving staff are charming and very helpful. The Cambodian meals we ordered were really really tasty, full of flavor and presented beautifully. Wish we were in Siem Reap longer so we could... More

I came here for lunch and it turned out to be one of the best meals I had in Siem Reap. I went for the Asian 3 course set menu (there is also a Western version) which was decent value. The food was really tasty and I particularly enjoyed the dessert - I'm a sucker for mango sticky rice! Service... More

If in Siem Reap you must visit Sala Bai. It takes teenagers from poor villages and trains them in hospitality skills so that they have a brighter future. All the trainees we saw we definitely bright. The food was really tasty and presented as though in a top end restaurant yet the prices were cheap compared to other good cause... More

Having read all about Sala Bai before visiting Siem Reap, we knew we were in for a good experience, and so it was.

Great restaurant school, and had the pleasure of having lunch there on my last trip to Cambodia. Not only is the food great (both local and Western dishes are on the menu) but the atmosphere very friendly also.

After reading about Sala Bai (School of Rice, ie, cooking school) we dropped in for lunch. Food and service was excellent and it made us feel good that the facility was designed to help local kids get experience working in restaurants and hotel so they can get jobs in the future. We highly recommend the experience. It is located just... More

I was impressed by what I have seen at the training restaurant! First, everything has exceeded my expectations. The service was provided by different young people motivated to offer you just the best. Their English sometimes hesitant just amplify the charms of the experience. The food was very well presented, delicious and somehow imaginative. Everything is done according to the... More

Food, service, and ambiance were wonderful. Waters refilled and bread and butter served. The juices are big and delicious. Will definitely return here, particularly because the school is such a great cause.
