Monkey King is a family-owned restaurant offering a colorful and pleasing decor. The menu features a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, including crab fried rice, honey walnut prawns, garlic noodles, and wings. Customers often praise the wings for being very crispy and flavorful, with lemon pepper and salt and pepper wings being popular choices. Some reviews mention that the garlic noodles can be a bit dry or not saucy enough, but the wings are consistently highly recommended. The staff is friendly and attentive, though there have been some comments about the place needing a bit more upkeep, such as issues with water and canned soda. Monkey King provides both takeout and dine-in options, including a full bar. This spot is perfect for fried and salty fusion food, especially if you're craving wings or quick bites.
