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,...
