Street Food

Street Food is a fast food in Kep, Cambodia — one of 62 places to eat and drink we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 218 mapped locations in Kep. In Khmer it would be described as ហាងអាហារបន្ទាន់នៅកែប. It sits at 10.48554, 104.31990, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a place to eat, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Kep. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Street Food is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m east of Mak Pisey Mart, and about 100 m south of U Care Pharmacy, with Chumnor Kep Café a further 100 m south. Drivers in Kep usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Kep, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Street Food is listed as a fast food on the Cambodia Today map, which in practice means table service or counter ordering with a short printed or wall-mounted menu. Prices at neighbourhood fast food spots in Kep typically run from about US$1.50 to US$4 for a rice or noodle dish and US$1 to US$3 for iced coffee, fruit shakes or a bottle of beer. Air-conditioned cafés and restaurants aimed at visitors sit at the upper end, roadside and market kitchens well below it.

Expect Khmer staples — bai sach chrouk in the morning, kuy teav noodle soup, lok lak, amok and fried rice through the day — with Western breakfasts and Thai or Vietnamese dishes appearing wherever there is a steady foreign crowd. Cash is king: bring small US dollar notes and expect change in riel, and assume card payment is not available unless the venue is part of a chain. Most kitchens open between 6am and 8am and start closing from 8pm, earlier in smaller towns.

Street Food is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Mak Pisey Mart (supermarket, 100 m east), U Care Pharmacy (pharmacy, 100 m south), Chumnor Kep Café (cafe, 100 m south), Kep Sport (clothes, 100 m south). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
