" A friend introduced me to Monkey Thai, and I loved it! The Curry with Tofu was packed with flavor and had a great spice level. The portion was decent, and the ambiance was friendly. I had a little wait to get seated, but it was worth it for the experience. Overall, I had a very enjoyable dinner with an authentic Thai feel. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love authentic Thai food, you need to try Monkey Thai! The Tom Yum soup here is fantastic—spicy yet refreshing with fresh herbs. Their service was also commendable, very attentive. I appreciate that they allow customization based on spice levels, which is a huge plus for me! The overall experience was delightful, and I can’t wait to share this spot with my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Monkey Thai was pleasant overall, but there were a few hiccups. I ordered the crab fried rice, which was absolutely delicious, and I felt the portion size was generous for the price. The atmosphere was cozy and had a great vibe, perfect for dinner with friends. However, I must mention that the service was a bit slow—our server was friendly but seemed to have too many tables to handle at once. I would still recommend trying it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit to Monkey Thai! The rice dishes are not only flavorful but are also served in generous portions—definitely enough to satisfy my appetite! I especially loved their Pad Se Eww, which was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of heat. The staff were highly attentive and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual yet inviting, making it a fantastic spot for a laid-back dinner. Will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed by Monkey Thai. The food seemed to lack the depth of flavor that I've come to expect from Thai cuisine. The eggplant dish fell flat, and the spring rolls were soggy. Service was okay but seemed rushed. The atmosphere felt a bit cramped and chaotic. I don't think I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ll start by saying this place has potential. The menu was extensive, and I appreciated the vegetarian options. My tofu massaman curry was great, but others at my table didn't enjoy their dishes as much. The overall atmosphere was nice but could use some soft lighting for a more intimate feel. Friendly staff though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent food that's full of flavor! I ordered the green curry with chicken, and it was perfectly spiced, truly authentic. The rice side was fluffy and well-cooked too. The atmosphere was relaxed; perfect for catching up with friends over good food. The service was quick and attentive. Will highly recommend to anyone searching for flavorful Thai in the area.
