I went to the branch in Phnom Penh years ago. Basically the same format as described in the article, including the karaoke like rock performance. I recall there was dog on the menu. Otherwise it's your typical dystopian experience.
Speaking of Cambodia, China has got quite the strangle hold on that country.
Which is interesting, because the Vietnamese installed a government after defeating the Khmer Rouge in 1979. This majorly pissed off China who invaded Vietnam to "punish" them.
But today? It's a playground for Chinese criminal gangs. Kidnapping of foreigners (recently a Thai citizen) who work in local casinos is common. It's mostly Vietnamese, but other nationalities have been snapped up as well.
It's also a hotbed for Chinese running online scams.
Seems quite lawless nowadays despite the development since the war.
