Jaan Bai Restaurant

Jaan Bai Restaurant, Battambang - A Meaningful Meal with Incredible Flavour We had a truly memorable dinner at Jaan Bai Restaurant in Battambang last night as a visiting family of five. From the moment we arrived, we felt not just welcomed, but connected to something bigger than a typical dining experience. What makes Jaan Bai unique is its purpose, 51% of profits go to an organisation supporting the transition of children out of orphanages and into better, more fulfilling lives here in Cambodia. It’s more than just a meal, it’s a movement. The food itself was exceptional. We sampled a variety of local dishes, with standouts including the Curry Chicken and Butterfly Flower Steamed Chicken, both bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. For dessert, we shared three incredible sweet dishes: a rich flower chocolate cake, a light and fluffy coconut cake, and a refreshing coconut sorbet. All were fantastic (see photos below!). The service was friendly and warm, and the vibe relaxed yet thoughtful. The final bill was $50 for the five of us, more than fair for the quality of food, service, and the cause behind it all. If you’re in Battambang and want to enjoy delicious food while supporting a good cause, Jaan Bai is a must-visit.

What a fabulous meal! We were lucky that there was one unreserved table when we turned up at 6:45 as we saw lots of people turned away after we sat down. The meal was gorgeous - and the young staff really did their best to offer a friendly and welcoming service. All the dishes were delightful - we started with the chicken satay with peanut sauce and the cucumber salad with pork belly. And followed it up with the traditional prawn and tofu pad Thai, and the fish amok. Both were very tasty! I could have eaten all the desserts as they all sounded fabulous but in the end I asked the waiter what he recommended and we went for the coconut cake with passion fruit sorbet, and the magi and sticky rice. We also enjoyed two delicious cocktails (negroni with green orange), a large beer and a white wine. Our bill came to $46 - amazing value for such a meal! This restaurant gives back to a local children’s charity so you’re doing good whilst enjoyed good food! It’s a win-win situation.! Book - you won’t be disappointed!

Stumbled across this and so glad we did!! Our first meal in Cambodia and wow did it impress us. Really tasty good quality food, we can see why it is rated so highly! Loved the chicken satay and the Pork Belly Bao. I didn’t take a picture of the Banana Flower Chicken, but would highly recommend, the chicken was so tender and amazing!

I loved the food! I tried Thai green curry and coconut cake for dessert. Together with water I paid $11.75. I was attended by a group of young waiters who were very polite and friendly. I will recommend this place to my friends

Must try if you’re in Battambang. Such a good range of options, lots of vegetarian options too. Service was excellent, food was delicious and drinks good too. Would definitely recommend the veggie bao buns, dumplings, fish amok curry and the kampot pepper tofu. Some music would be nice ❤️

Amazing food and service ! Best restaurant in Battambang. We strongly recommend the banana flower chicken.

Had the beef lok lak which was tasty. Service was great and the restaurant had a nice, relaxed vibe to it. Mostly tourists. The service was great and they let me bring in a coconut from the market!

Delightful little restaurant supporting local youth so happy to pay the higher prices here. I had the fish amok, which was tasty, if not a bit on the small side portion wise. The best fish amok I’ve had so far in Cambodia was in Siem Reap at Tevy’s Place. This serving was up there, but definitely not as good as at Tevy’s.
