We just went for our 3rd visit over the weekend, and they have hit the mark for me every time.

Our first visit back in December had a bit of a wait as there were many big parties, but it honestly wasn't bad/long. Other visits have had no waiting times.

Order at the counter or on your phone from QR codes on your table - there's a big menu on one wall and typical menu sized copies at the counter. The staff is overall great - there's a particular young man who treats us so well and gets us whatever we need every time.

The music can definitely be on the louder end and varies, but it completely adds to the experience! I love that I feel like I can let a wall down, do my little happy dances in my seat, and enjoy their delicious food and drinks.

We absolutely love: the garlic noodles, the chicken wings (with General Tsos sauce) are out of this world, the Monkey King fried rice, and we just tried their calamari which was delish!

Definitely a one of a kind place with spectacular food, great portions and good service. Thanks Monkey King team!

Went with the family to get out and fellowship. Great company, great food! Food is family style, so we ordered the Garlic Noodles with Shrimp, Ginger & Crab Fried Rice, Shrimp Fried Rice, Broccoli Chicken, Orange Chicken bites, General Tsao Chicken bites, reg Garlic Noodles, reg Fried Rice & the Chicken Wings…everything was delicious! Want some good Asian dishes with a twist, pull up, you won’t be disappointed!

Service was horrible. We waited 2 hours for our complete meal. The server told us they run out of food and had to run to the store. Used to go there before COVID and loved it. Super sad their quality went down like this.

Ima keep it a buck, all that tiktok hype is not it. At the beginning the waiter was cool and recommended food but after ordering food, that was the last time we saw him, not him not no one check on how we were, never asked how was the food, nothing at all, besides getting the food to the table, there was no service at all, we even had to get up and ask for boxes. The food is a good portion. Now with the food, the chicken fried rice, the rice was bland, the chicken was not fresh, it tastes like it was reheated or a day old chicken, same with the meat on the broccoli beef and the Mongolian chow mein, they didn’t not taste fresh, the Mongolian chow mein was too salty, the walnut shrimps do not look like what you see on the menu, the only good dish we got was the salt and pepper wings with fries, that I’ll give a 5 star but besides that it’s a 4/10, maybe not my cup tea

The food I ordered was, chicken chew main and pepper lemon chicken wing, they both were very salty and I mean 🧂 I tasted one noodle because of how it looks it was soaked in sauce. I brought it to there attention, and the server had the nerve to say they can't make remake the 2 orders because I didn't let them know, but I had just did and never got my lemonade 🍋 drink as well. I noticed they never charged me so it ok. Some other dishes of food was bad and some was good. I won't be returning there. I took my salty noodles home and raised off over half you can see the difference. You've been worned.

Came here while vacationing in California. This place was highly recommended, really big portions so if you are dining with people everyone should order a different dish. Good music, very lively atmosphere. I got chicken wings, fries and fried rice. So good!! People tend to come here to celebrate their birthday. Service was nice, no real thrills atmosphere wise but I would return.

The service here is nice and food is served in a reasonable amount of time. There's about a dozen or so tables here. The atmosphere can be a bit loud if you're looking for a much more quieter dining experience. The food here is okay. I had the Honey Walnut Prawns, Ginger and Green Onion Crab Fried Rice, and Chicken Laab. The portions are generous, but lacks the more traditional South Eastern Asian taste, which can be a bit pungent. Not everyone likes that, I know. The rice didn't have much crab in it at all and the Laab has apples in it, which was something I didn't expect.
