It was incredible! Super delicious food, Jackson as the perfect guide and all in all, just a wonderful evening!
This was absolutely awesome! Everything was included and the tour last about 3 hours. From fried noodles, sandwiches, and ribs to crispy crickets and stir fried ants. It was an experience I certainly won’t forget. My guide Jackson was very knowledgeable and I had a really great evening.
Everyone should absolutely do this tour!! Our guide was super friendly, our tuk tuk drivers were good fun and the food.....! Well! Everything from coconut dumplings to crickets to a feast of main dishes to the final street food dessert was amazing. I'd do this again and again!!
Jackson was excellent! He was even able to customize our experience on the spot as there were a few Americans who love Durian, wanted to try balut, grasshoppers, and choice parts from a chicken. Highly recommend…food was delicious!
Thanks so much for your recommendation! We love to customise our tours if possible to give our guests the best possible experience! Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours

What an experience! JB took us on a wonderful tuk tuk food tour through Phnom Penh that we thoroughly enjoyed. The tour covered a wide range of locations, introducing us to some truly exotic local fare. One dish that stood out was Popiah — we loved it so much that we went back to the same spot twice even after the tour had wrapped up, which says it all! What impressed us most was JB's depth of knowledge. He explained every dish in detail — the ingredients, the preparation, the cultural context — making the experience as educational as it was delicious. Travelling with a vegetarian spouse, I particularly appreciated how thoughtfully JB handled dietary requirements. He was careful to ensure that every dish served to us was free of fish oil, which is no small feat in Cambodian cuisine. That level of attentiveness made all the difference. The tuk tuk driver was an absolute delight too — friendly, cheerful, and made the whole ride part of the fun. Overall, this was a brilliant way to explore Phnom Penh's food culture. If you're in the city and looking for an immersive, well-guided culinary experience, JB's food tour is a must. We would highly recommend it without hesitation!
Thank you so much for your amazing in depth review and for recommending us! We are so glad you loved not onlny the food, but the cont4ext given top it! We truly appreciate your kind words! Loads of love, Team Urban Forage Foos & Art Tours
We had the most incredible experience with Urban Forage on their Phnom Penh street food tour. Our guide was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole evening feel relaxed and immersive from the start. They took us through bustling night markets we would never have had the confidence to explore on our own, sharing insights into the local food culture along the way. One of the highlights was being encouraged to step outside our comfort zone and try local delicacies — including insects! It turned out to be a surprisingly fun (and tasty) part of the night and something we’ll be talking about for years. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen, and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations. If you want a genuine taste of Phnom Penh and its food scene, this tour is an absolute must.
We are astounded at your incredibly wonderful review! Thanks for trusting us to enlighten you to the wonders of Cambodian cuisine, it was wonderful to share a table with you! Loads of Love, Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours v
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was J.B. and he was fun, passionate, and informative. He explained everything about what we were eating (and the correct way to flavor it) We sampled a great variety of foods and finished the night in a secluded tropical garden sipping cocktails. We would recommend this tour to anyone with an adventurous appetite!
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, we're so thrilled to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed it. We appreciate your recommendation! Loads of Love, Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
Absolutely excellent food tour! We went to a massive variety of places, most of which I never would have been able to find going by myself. The guide, Panha, was excellent, providing a lot of interesting detail on Cambodian food culture and customs, and was very friendly and interesting to talk to in general! Would highly recommend this if you’re looking to get a real, authentic sense of how locals eat.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experience with us! We appreciate your great feedback! Loads of Love, Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
