This is my new favorite location. I usually go to Alameda, but the Oakland location is my new favorite! The staff are always friendly! My lemon pepper wings are ALWAYS on point. They have had one mess up with my order once, but they immediately provided GREAT customer service and resolved the issue immediately. They are my go-to spot for when I want to treat myself to lunch, and I don't eat out at many places ever since covid. They are a well trusted business and no issues or complaints! Try their lemon pepper wings and strawberry lemonade! Their garlic noodles and house rice are good as well.

Nice, quiet, quaint spot located on Piedmont Avenue. Garlic noodles are amazing, crab fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, and potstickers. The food was good, fresh, and quickly, and expertly prepared. Service and atmosphere were also top notch.

Monkey King has some smacks you need to have in your life. The flavors of monkey king are unique and awesome. Mongolian Beef Chow Mein is something you’ve never had but need to try. Not spice or sweet but a great combo of both. Dry Ribs were good and flavorful. Crispy and tender leaving you wanting more. You will only wish that they were bigger. Paired with garlic fries make them a great starter. Garlic Shrimp and white rice. This dish is tricky. I felt what they were trying to do but I feel they should explain it another way.

Terrible service simply called to order for my first time and asked for recommendations and who ever answered the phone was extremely rude for no reason and funny thing is was so excited to try it out because I hear nothing but good things but now I would not and ever recommend this location to anyone.

Customer service horrible girl got mad because I ordered crab fried rice with light egg and payed for extra crab and I asked if it could be made over because I didn’t ask for extra egg will never come to this location
First time here, and I can say I had a great experience. For those who have never been here, you pay first and then they bring you your food. The decor is pretty neat and it’s definitely different. Very colorful and nice, definitely pleasing to the eye. I ordered some crab fried rice and honey walnut prawns. The crab fried rice was good, but I didn’t really taste much crab meat. The honey walnut prawns were fried a little bit too hard, so they were extra crunchy and borderline rubbery. But I’m willing to give it another go and try it at another time because the staff was really awesome and everyone else in my party enjoyed their food. I recommend.

This Monkey King is the third branch of a family owned business, the other two are in Alameda. I've been doing to the locations for a while and highly recommend them for their wings, garlic noodles and various Asian entrees.This location has a full bar.I haven't dined in there before since they opened in the middle of COVID, but they now have a dining area. I've mainly ordered takeout from them and they haven't disappointed.

Have to be honest the food was a little disappointing. Wouldn't call this a 'restaurant' but instead a place to get great fusion fried food. Everything is fried and salty so make sure that's what you want. If so - 5 stars! If not, don't go.
