Hungry Monkey Island Style Eats

Always great food and now featuring fantastic customer service from Nicollet. It had been a while but so glad I came back.

Online ordering didn’t allow me to make certain modifications, so I called 4 times to try and make a pickup order and no one answered. I ended up driving downtown to go in and make a to go order. I waited almost an hour for my food and there were 4 people working behind the counter. I brought the food back to my family and my girlfriend and her mom each had 3 main ingredients missing from their poke bowls. They also said the portions were significantly smaller than the last time they ordered there. I will not be going back.

Great food. Would highly recommend!!! We will definitely be going back!

I just love the food, cute and clean atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff! It's cool getting to to see the cook prepare the food. They have a huge menu selection. Also, check out the pretty handmade beaded jewelry that's available for purchase at the counter. I'm a regular!

We love this place! It's so good! The food is always fresh, and we've never had any issues or complaints! I like the salmon and my husband gets the tuna.

Vegetarian options: I am not a vegetarian but they do have vegetarian options and I would still enjoy anything I have eaten if it didn't have meat.

One of the healthier options to eat in Joplin. The food is good and the staff is friendly. The ambience of the place is nice as well. I've been to this place at least 5 times.

Very friendly staff! Absolutely delicious! The tuna has a nice smoky flavor, the short ribs are melt in your mouth tender and the shrimp musubi was outstanding I could have eaten several!!
