Not good
It started well. Phat arrived on time and we headed off to the Tuk-tuk, fortunately the group was small and we all fitted. However, as it was the Chinese New Year most local family food restaurants were shut. In fact, we ended up visiting only one on the list – another two were rustled up, almost at random as we passed by, with Phat asking them as we slowed down whether they were open. The tour promised to eat like a local and it was true to its word, we sat on tiny chairs in the street, eating what ever that course was. However, what was missing, was information about the food, its origins and history. Phat told me the cost was about $2 a course. We seemed to be finding the cheapest standard food around, I was expecting to find some real nuggets and maybe engage with the local cooks. We were through three courses in 90 minutes and then spent 20 mins beetling down the road in the tuk to the Russian market for a stall which sold desserts, but of course that was closed. It really would have been good to phone ahead! The promise of unlimited beers never materialised (I was asked once) but that was minor. In the end, I suggested that rather than go for our last course, which was billed as “cocktails” in a high rise, (which might not be open) we adjourned to a Cambodian craft brewery, which is how the tour ended. Although Phat was apologetic, this wasn’t a good experience. The food was unremarkable, of dubious quality and not the evening I expected. The next day, I wasn’t well. It was memorable for the wrong reasons, the best bit was the beer! We were all done in just over two hours and this included about 60 minutes of cumulative transport time. Trip Advisor suggested that the tour would take four hours. The cost is £55 per person, so at this price, expectations are high and when delivery is so poor, it leaves a bad taste.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We take pride in providing authentic local food experiences, even during holidays when some primary locations may be closed. Our guide, Phat, is highly experienced and specifically offered several backup local food and dessert options when our usual stops were unavailable. However, as you mentioned feeling full at the time, these were declined. Regarding the final stop, Phat offered a curated cocktail experience which you chose to skip in favor of a venue you had previously visited. Finally, our tours focus strictly on culinary and cultural experiences; we remain a neutral, non-political service. We appreciate your honesty and hope you enjoyed the flavors you did sample.

A fantastic introduction to Phnom Penh’s local food scene
A fantastic way to see a lot of the city and try some authentic foods with a brilliant guide (Pat). We were driven round in a tuk tuk and sampled food in 5 restaurants finishing with a cocktail and a view at the Sundowner Social club. This was such a good way to spend our first night in Phnom Penh to get to know the area and pick up lots of tips. All of the restaurants were clean and there were plenty of vegetarian options and huge amounts of food! Pat was friendly, highly knowledgeable and great fun!! We would highly recommend this tour especially if you are only in Phnom Penh for a short time.
Response from the operator: We're appreciated for your feedback, and also happy to hear that you're had a fantastic tour with Pat and expaicaly enjoyed the local foods ..

Great food and great company!
We had a great evening with Lee and 1 other couple, exploring Phnom Penh’s food scene and its Russian night market. Lee has a wealth of knowledge about his country, the city and, of course, food. He was informative, insightful and fun! We made 5 scheduled stops in total, travelling by tuk-tuk, which was a great way to get around. And, if we spied something that looked interesting while we were on the go, Lee would pop out and get us a taste. This was much appreciated and very generous of him. We chose this tour because it seemed to have the greatest focus on offering a variety of food and to offer the widest range of eating experiences. Lee delivered perfectly! The tour was well-organised and everything worked seamlessly. Plenty of water and beer was available. We ended our evening in a charming sky bar overlooking the Russian market, for cocktails. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, We are happy to hear that you guys enjoyed it!!!!!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 86 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 Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local?
+
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 Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local?
+
Around 30 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phnom Penh Authentic Evening Food Tour 100% By Local 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.
