About Us | Jomno Modern Khmer Cuisine

Jomno ModernWhere Heritage Meets Innovation

A journey for the senses, rooted in Khmer soil

At Jomno Modern Khmer Cuisine, we are storytellers of Cambodia’s vibrant culinary legacy, reimagined for the modern palate. Born from a deep reverence for tradition and a fearless embrace of creativity, Jomno is more than a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Khmer culture, artistry, and the boundless possibilities of flavor.

Our Story

Jomno’s journey began with a simple question:

How can we honor Cambodia’s rich food heritage while inviting the world to see it anew? Founded by chefs and storytellers passionate about their roots, we set out to craft a dining experience where time-honored recipes dance with contemporary techniques. From the bustling markets of Phnom Penh to the tranquil rice fields of the countryside, every dish at Jomno is a love letter to Cambodia’s landscapes, history, and people.

The Heart of Our Cuisine
Khmer cuisine is a tapestry of bold aromas, vibrant textures, and soulful simplicity. At Jomno, we elevate this tapestry with meticulous care. Our menu is built on locally sourced ingredients—Kampot pepper’s fiery sweetness, freshwater treasures from the Mekong, and tropical fruits bursting with sunshine. These elements meet avant-garde methods: sous-vide, foams, and deconstructed presentations that surprise and delight.

Our Philosophy

Respect the past. Innovate for the future.
We believe tradition is not a boundary but a foundation. Our chefs train in age-old Khmer cooking methods while experimenting fearlessly, ensuring each plate balances nostalgia and novelty. Sustainability guides us, too—we partner with local farmers and fishermen to preserve Cambodia’s ecosystems and empower its communities.

The Jomno Experience

Dining with us is a sensory journey. Our space blends Cambodia’s artisanal heritage with sleek modernity: handwoven textiles drape softly against concrete walls, and hand-carved wooden tables hold bespoke ceramic tableware. Every detail, from the lemongrass-scented towels to the curated playlist of contemporary Khmer beats, is designed to immerse you in a story that’s both timeless and forward-looking.
