Great food with a very warm host. We learned a lot, laughed and had a great time at Sreng.
Sreng is a very warm host. His home is an oasis, in the middle of the big city. You just have to experience it yourself. We learned a lot about Cambodian food and enjoyed delicious food. It was a wonderful evening. An absolute highlight on our trip.

Must do in Phnom Penh!
We made the most delicious amok along with some palm jaggery sweets. Sreng and the team were so accomodating to my vegetarian diet and provided alternatives to maintain my learning experience. They were also so sweet in giving me a knife sharpner set that I've been looking forever! Everyone was so kind, and I made a friend and learned a lot about Cambodian culinary history.

Calm Cooking Class amidst the Chaos of Cambodia
After almost two weeks in Cambodia, I wasn't really sure about the local cuisine as there was such a mix of everything and knew I had to do something about it. Coming to Phnom Penh Spice cooking class allowed me to better understand the different influences that colored the region's culture and food. We got to experience making a spice mix and cooking amok first hand. It was an informative experience, with Sreng and his staff instructing us, helping us, and engaging in a lot of conversation about any questions we had. When we were able to sit down and enjoy the dishes we had contributed to making, they also introduced us to some of the popular music here. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. My tuktuk got a little confused on the way there, so I was a bit lost and late. Then Sreng called, talking to the driver, and finding me so I could join the class. Whatever obstacle comes up, I trust his team to stay calm and resolve it. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking Class in Phnom Penh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Cooking Class in Phnom Penh cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phnom Penh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cooking Class in Phnom Penh take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phnom Penh is not rushed.
Is Cooking Class in Phnom Penh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phnom Penh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking Class in Phnom Penh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cooking Class in Phnom Penh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking Class in Phnom Penh?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phnom Penh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phnom Penh and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking Class in Phnom Penh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phnom Penh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phnom Penh?
+
On Outty we rank every Phnom Penh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tuol Sleng S21 and Choeung Ek Killing Field Tour, The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phnom Penh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phnom Penh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
