5.00Beautiful Royal Ballet of Cambodia! They could announce this more! Lovely place to watch on a rooftop. Others were eating but we just had a cocktail. Noisy outside on Saturday night, not sure if that happens every Saturday? Dancers were superb.
Great show!

5.00Great show!! Well put together and super interesting! The one thing I will say is the venue is outdoors so the bugs were bad and wish I would have worn bug spray. But other than that amazing! Good food too.
Great dinner theater

5.00Our dinner and show exceeded expectations! Not only did we get a pleasant cultural experience that was very entertaining, but we had an amazing dinner. Riverview restaurant and bar is located on an open deck overlooking the river, and it was perfect. You can get western food or traditional Khmer cuisine. The food was excellent and very affordable. Fantastic show, fantastic service, fantastic ambience, and fantastic food!!!

5.00Our whole family enjoyed the performance of immensely talented students. Their passion and love for this form of art was evident. Everyone was amazing! We loved the choreography, costumes, music, and meeting the performers afterward. It was so nice that the choreographer himself spoke and explained everything, greeted the guests. We will highly recommend this experience to all of our friends and family.
Must see it!!!!

5.00This show was absolutely wonderful. It was a great experience to see traditional Cambodian dance up close. The costumes were intricately designed and truly beautiful. The day before the show, Neara kindly provided detailed directions via WhatsApp, which made it easy for me to reach the studio smoothly. Thank you very much, Neara! If you visit Phnom Penh, I highly recommend watching this traditional dance performance. Since it is held only once a week on Sundays, it is quite a rare opportunity!
A must see cultural experience in Phnom Penh!

5.00This is a must see cultural experience when touring through Phnom Penh. The performance and dancers were amazing. We saw the story of Rama and Sita, which are shown on the murals. At the beginning there were young students dancing in the Monkey dance which was a great opportunity for them and great for us to see.
Another culture

5.00I expected to see a traditional dance, but this was the first time I was able to connect with the characters, read the story through the facial expressions and movements and stay captivated through the show. I loved the intimate feel and small audience. I also loved that the company was dance students and teachers. If you’re thinking about it, I encourage you to add this to your list for sure!
Great experience
