Phnom Penh’s riverside boardwalk, known as Sisowath Quay, is one of the most vibrant areas in Cambodia’s capital. It stretches along the meeting point of the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers. Locals and travelers visit the area to enjoy the fresh breeze, watch the boats pass by, and experience the lively nightlife. Amidst the many cafes, bars, and local eateries lining the busy street, Kanazawa Japanese Restaurant stands out as a premier dining destination. Managed by Japanese culinary professionals, it brings authentic flavors and a sleek modern vibe right to the edge of the river.

Location is everything when dining in Phnom Penh, and Kanazawa sits in a prime spot. Located at House Number 173-175 on Preah Sisowath Quay, the restaurant spans two beautifully designed floors. The interior features a striking, black-themed industrial design that feels both chic and welcoming.

For the best experience, guests can head upstairs to the outdoor terrace seating. The terrace offers an unobstructed, panoramic view of the sushi oishii wide river below. Watching the sunset cast golden reflections over the water while enjoying a meal makes it a popular spot for romantic dates, family gatherings, or casual dinners with friends. For those hosting business meetings or private events, the restaurant also provides dedicated VIP rooms for extra comfort and privacy.

Kanazawa Japanese Restaurant has earned a strong reputation for serving high-quality, authentic food at very reasonable prices. The broad menu caters to all types of Japanese food lovers. Seafood enthusiasts can enjoy incredibly fresh sushi and sashimi sets, including a popular seven-piece sushi set priced under $10.

Beyond raw fish, the kitchen serves up comforting, hot dishes that are perfect for sharing:

• Savory Okonomiyaki: Thick, Japanese-style savory pancakes packed with toppings and drizzled with signature sauces.
• Warm Bowls: Steaming bowls of rich ramen and udon noodles made with flavorful broths.
• Grilled Yakitori: Smoky, perfectly charred skewers of meat and vegetables that pair beautifully with drinks.

A great meal on the river deserves a matching beverage, and Kanazawa’s bar does not disappoint. The restaurant boasts an impressive drink list that elevates the riverside dining experience. Guests can choose from a wide selection of curated cocktails, chilled Japanese beers, and high-quality Japanese whiskeys. For a more traditional pairing, the venue also offers an array of premium sake, making it a fantastic spot to unwind after a long day of exploring the city.

Kanazawa Japanese Restaurant is open daily from 11:00 AM until late into the night at 11:30 PM, making it ideal for both a breezy lunch or a late-night dinner. Because the upstairs terrace tables are highly sought after for their views, securing a reservation in advance is recommended.
