Bayon, run by owners Minh and Mandy Truong, has been named a Michelin Bib Gourmand honoree in both 2024 and 2025, a repeat distinction the Michelin Guide's restaurant page attributes to good-quality, good-value Khmer cooking that draws steady demand in a compact Upper East Side room (Michelin Guide, Bayon restaurant page).
That demand shows up in the restaurant's own booking guidance: reservations are recommended for every party size and required outright for groups of six or more, a policy signal that tables can fill without advance notice even on a residential side street (Upper East Site, 'Michelin Guide-Listed Bayon').
