What a nice little upscale sushi bar! I was instantly blown away by the posh and sleek interior, and the hostess was so sweet as we were instantly sat down. The candlelit lighting was beautiful and accentuated by the decor and bar lights inside the restaurant.
I ordered the Ba Ba Bu roll (which was half off during happy hour!) and the 5 Sashimi platter (15 pieces in total, 3 of each). Fish was fresh and delicious, melting in my mouth basically. The Ba Ba Bu roll had a delightfully bright note with the lemon! Overall, such a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

I'm a huge fan of Chirori so I was excited to try Chef Jackie's new restaurant, Monkey 68 Kitchen & Bar in Alpharetta. Apparently, there's a Monkey 68 in Roswell as well so don't make the same mistake I did & go to the right location lmao. I visited last night, which happened to be Alpharetta Restaurant Week & tried their tasting menu. OMG, everything was soooo goood & I left feeling full & satisfied. My fav new drink is the Matcha Highball, Japanese Whiskey & Matcha is a match made in heaven!! The Iheartdogs cocktail is very refreshing as well!! Do yourself a favor & come check it out (: you def won't be disappointed!
Thank you Chef Jackie, Misty & Daniel for your hospitality & impeccable service. I've always had a great experience with Chef Jackie & his team. Food, service & ambiance always on point! Can't wait to come back to try their other menus as well! ^^

This Monkey68 location is not the same as the one in Roswell and I believe has been under new management since earlier this year.
The food was decent, though they were out of some appetizers. We ordered the Alpharetta tasting menu, two rolls, yuzu scallop, scallop foie gras, and drinks.
Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. After serving us water, our server was rarely around. We waited about 25 minutes just to place our order, and one drink was sent to the wrong table while the other was forgotten entirely. The food also arrived incorrectly, causing more delays, and our waters were never refilled. What should have been a nice dinner turned into a two-hour ordeal. To top it off, another server approached me at the end and asked why I looked so tired, which was a bit awkward lol..
On a positive note, we had a reservation for tonight but ended up calling to see if they could move it to last night. Since they weren’t busy, they kindly accommodated us, which I appreciated!

Went to the Alpharetta location for the first time, being told the menu is different and excited to try some new things. Not sure if they were understaffed but service was terrible.
The staff were nice, but incredibly slow. I had to remind them of our alcohol order, more water, part of our food order, and to boot, I booked this as an anniversary dinner with a champagne request that went totally ignored. The food was good as always.
The atmosphere is much more casual than Roswell. They had a football game on a tv above the bar, so I asked it be changed to another game (when in Rome) just to find out they’re playing YouTube reruns of old sports games? Wtf??
Tipped my 10% and left, and won’t be going back. Shouldn’t have tipped that much either.

Monkey 68 is a hidden gem that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stunning beauty and ambiance of the restaurant. The decor is modern and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable dining experience.
The service was exceptional. As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly by several smiling faces, which immediately made us feel welcome. Throughout the evening, the staff continued to impress with their attentiveness and friendliness.
My family and I indulged in over 7 sushi rolls, and I can confidently say it was the best sushi I have ever had. Each roll was expertly crafted with fresh ingredients, bursting with flavor and creativity. We also tried their drinks, which were equally impressive. I personally ordered two drinks that were delicious, and my family, who are wine experts, couldn't stop raving about their selection.
What stood out the most was the incredible care we received from the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a sushi restaurant that combines modern aesthetics with outstanding food and service, Monkey 68 is the place to go.
I'm genuinely surprised this place isn't packed every day—they deserve more than just 5 stars! Don't hesitate to give Monkey 68 a try; you won't regret it.

As always, my husband and I were looking for a sushi place that caught our attention; and here you have it: Monkey 68 kitchen and bar… just a bit from downtown Alpharetta… like sec…. Food is excellent! Service is phenomenal! Ask for Chris, awesome server! The atmosphere vibes were great. We recommend Foxy Lady if you are looking for the freshest tasting plate. A bottle of pinot goes very well. Excellent spot for sushi

Delicious sushi and drinks! A very much more laid back vibe than the downtown Roswell location. Cannot recommend it enough! And easy to get reservations!
Only thing was out of all the sushi and drinks we ordered, the tempura asparagus was very plain :/
