Jasmine Angkor Restaurant

  • February 20, 2006
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Composthp from Singapore, Singapore
Jasmine Angkor Restaurant

This restaurant comes highly recommended from our guide and the hotel staff. If you are looking for some local culture and food, this restaurant serves a mean buffet, consisting of mainly local and South-east Asian, with nightly traditional performances by apsara dancers.

The buffet costs $12 per person, with separate charges for drinks. Our reservations were made on the same day by our guide. The performance began at 7pm and last about 1 hour. It features dances performed in the royal court, folk dancing, and dances depicting local myths and legends.

We arrived to a crowded restaurant and were given a table by the side. On various occasions, our view was obscured by guests from other tables who had made their way nearer to the stage for photo-taking. The noises from the guests were at times louder than the traditional music, and this marred our enjoyment somewhat.

The service staff, however, was more discrete and prompt. The food was, well, so-so. Although there were a wide selection of dishes; like fried rice, noodles, grilled chicken, beef, stir-fried vegetables, assorted salad and fruits, the emphasis seemed more on quantity than quality.

As the evening progressed, the restaurant became rowdy and warm. We left as soon as the performance was over.
