I've got to say I was a little disappointed, just because we have such high expectations of Monkey Thai. This was our first time coming to this location and it fell short with the food. I got my usual crab fried rice and it wasn't as good compared to the other locations, it was missing the thing that made it so addictive. We got the barbecue skewers which weren't bad, but the crispy pork belly was WAYY to crispy. Now, the pork belly itself was SOO GOOD, but some of the crispy parts were just inedible. You couldn't bite into it. Besides these few hiccups, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the location is beautiful and at a nice spot, and our drinks were perfect.
3.5 stars... A bit on the pricey side for thai food, but the portions are pretty generous! I was easily able to share an entree with another person.+ Chicken pad see ew ($15.95): pretty yummy! The noodles were a good texture and not too oily! The sauce was very flavorful. They give lots of egg and broccoli!+ Thai tea (free with Yelp check-in): SO GOOD! Very fragrant and sweet. Not too much cream. They put the perfect amount. This hit the spot.+ Oysters ($1 for happy hour): I was not a fan. They were very flat and had no meat to them! It was almost as if they were shriveled up, not very fresh. There was also a lot of shell bits on the oysters. They did not shuck them well.
Great place to relax and enjoy a simple meal. Service was very good and the food was exceptional. If you're taking a break in South shore Center I would recommend a quick and tasty meal at Monkey Thai.
Got a garlic noodle with beef and a Thai Iced tea. The noodle is the best I had in the bay area so far, really garlic and flavorful. The tea is smooth and milky. The service is fast for lunch, in and out under 30mins.
Mid-scale restaurant with good Thai food served quickly and efficiently.
This spot is great and I love that they have two happy hours, especially the late happy hour. Stopped by with friends and we always order lots of food. The potions are giant and delicious. If you are looking for a place to eat lots of food and have a good time, this is it!
Generous portions, great service, a full bar and kitchen with reasonable prices and very interesting options that are well above your average Thai place and open much later than most places in the area.
My date & I both enjoyed this restaurant. She in fact liked my dish more than her own ?We will both be returning in the future. Portions were excellent to justify the price of the food. Good Thai iced tea as well.
crispy belly was well seasoned and crunchy! Bbq was superb too! And Service was fast
Everything was so delicious! Love this place!
