I had heard great things about Laughing monk cafe, but was somewhat disappointed by the quality of the food and the staff. Service was quick (food was served within 10 minutes), but the drunken noodles lacked the vibrant and fresh typical taste, and the nigiri and Philly salmon uramaki left something to be desired in terms of freshness of the fish.

The Thai Basil Fried Rice was great. I had a minor allergic reaction afterwards but nonetheless the food was great.
However the Roti is lacking was not and what I was expecting. It was like a scallion pancake rather than the Indian style traditional roti. The curry dip was a bit sweet as well but it was okay.

Great experience at Laughing Monk. Went for the Omakase, which was 14 courses for $175. While nontraditional each dish course was high quality, with large cuts of fish, and good flavor. There were sauces on everything, but they complimented the fish and, for the most part, never drowned the taste out. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this.
The staff is also super friendly and attentive.
For ambiance, the restaurant is on the casual side, and not very intimate, so it really doesn't fit the vibe of typical Omakase. As long as you go in knowing that you will have a great time. If you are just getting regular sushi the ambiance is pretty typical.
Overall, I highly recommend giving Laughing Monk a shot, especially the Omakase! Worth the money

If you know you wait Thai food because you’ve tried it and liked it come here. But if you don’t know don’t try it here, me and my wife did that and interacted with a manager who rudely told us he wouldn’t service us again if we came when I simply asked “could you comp my wife’s meal, it’s okay if you can’t we understand” after he told us “we are willing to comp both meals”
Don’t try thai here for the first time, do get Thai if you know you love it!
Also green curry was very sweet

We tried all of the tasting menus. Firstly, I appreciated the creativity and fanciness of the dishes. However, while the taste was good, it didn't wow me. None of them stood out as my favorite, but it was fun to try them all. Surprisingly, what I loved the most was their homemade dipping soy sauce, which enhanced all the sushi bites and made my day. ??
Plus, the cocktails are a must. There are many creative Thai-inspired cocktails that you have to try.?
