Drunken Monkey Sushi

Decent sushi and cocktail place in Tahoe.

It wasn't too difficult to get a table.

Food is good.
Servers are very nice, but the food is very slow. We've been here twice, 1 year apart when visiting the Truckee area and each time it took a much longer time to get out sushi than I expected, or than it seemed to take either tables.
The dining area is comfortable and the outdoor seating area is very family friendly, just make sure your kids are good with the wait.

Some of the best sushi I've had. Creative and delicious.

The food is great, I think it is a little over priced, but where they got me was charging for refills on soda. I think it's fine if that is the policy, but they should warn you before letting you order 5, $4 sodas.

Food is amazing, the service is pretty terrible. Dunno if they're just understaffed or smoking too much, but our appetizers arrived after our rolls and the waitress never asked us if we wanted a 2nd round of drinks. Literally brought us our edamame after we were done eating and didn't even notice our beers were empty. Welcome to Truckee I guess lol.

We were a group of 6 dining out doors. Half of our order never came we waited for 45 minutes then it started raining. No staff helped us to move table, our table got drenched and we had no choice but to stand around the entrance. After 20 minutes of waiting, we finally able to cancel our order and pay for the few items we got. Our waitress was busy with another table which I understand, but why did nobody else help us with anything? We were still charged a service fee after all of that too.

Our sushi orders were never placed. We sat outside and when it started raining, they refused to let us sit inside.

Great sushi. Reasonable prices

The food was excellent, but I recommend double-checking your receipt and bank statement. We spent over $121, left a cash tip, and were shocked to find that my credit card was charged $142 without my approval. It’s concerning when establishments add unauthorized charges, which is illegal. So be cautious and ensure you’re not overcharged.

It gets busy fast, go early.
It's kind of pricy, two of us ate for $100. Food was what I expected.
It's a tight squeeze between tables. It was busier than what we wanted.

Service was horrible- took forever to get the waitress to come to our table. The waitress seemed to be more interested in talking to the group at the bar. It was difficult to even get a server or bus person to make eye contact to ask to replace a dirty water glass. We were there to celebrate our anniversary with our children- next year this will not be our choice. Also, because of our large group, an automatic gratuity of 20% was applied. This was not appropriate since it was not earned. Very disappointed ?
