Had an amazing birthday dinner with my family! The food was absolutely delicious, the vibes were incredible, and the service was top-tier.
The owner even personally came over to wish me a happy birthday, which made the experience feel extra special! It’s safe to say this is officially a new family favorite!
Thank you for making my birthday dinner so memorable!

We had such an amazing experience at The Monkey King! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. We tried the pepper steak, crispy chicken, shrimp toast, garlic eggplant, crab fried rice, and chicken dumplings, and honestly, we enjoyed every single dish. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

My wife and I have visited over 100 restaurants in NY. This is on our top 5. When family and friends visit and want us to show them some restaurants this is one of the places we take them to. Amazing food, great staff that are passionate about providing an experience. Also great music and cocktails!

The mushroom dish, in particular, is praised for its flavor. The restaurant's drinks, including the Rising Dragon, Malaga Rita, Serpent’s Tale, Immortal Peach, Heartbeet, Pandan Express, The Monkey King, and Evening Harvest are incredible, well crafted, and balanced, with cocktails that deserve a spot on a best bars list.
