I didn't really enjoy my most recent meal at Phnom Penh. We ordered the Nating to start with folowed by the S1 dish with chicken (vermicelli noodles, chicken onions, lemon grass) and the Chha Kreoung Ma Rass Prowt seafood green curry thing that everyone else raves about in their reviews.
To start the Nating was really salty, nothing special. Just a bunch of minced pork in salty tomato broth with the rice crackers.
As for the entrees they were average. Again, very salty. Both tasted very similar. The chicken in the S1 had a strange taste to it. Almost kind of burnt, or gamey, or old? I"m not sure, but it was very unappetizing.
After this experience, I'm not really that interested in going back. I'm sure there are some good dishes somewhere in the menu (the menu is huge) but the dishes I tried were very mediocure and overpriced.
I think giving 2 stars is a little to harsh, but I don't really consider this place "A-OK" either.
