" I gave Monkey Thai a shot after hearing great things, but honestly, I was let down. The food lacked authenticity, especially the massaman curry, which was too sweet and not spicy at all. The service staff seemed preoccupied with takeout orders rather than dining customers, which left us feeling overlooked. Not a place I would prioritize visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a little disappointed based on the reviews I'd seen. The food was decent, but it didn't have the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The service was amiable but a bit detached. The ambiance was simple—the décor could use a little sprucing up to enhance the experience. Overall, it was satisfactory, but I'm not sure I would return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I walked into Monkey Thai not knowing what to expect and left as a loyal customer! The massaman curry was packed with flavor and incredibly rich, making it deeply comforting. The portion sizes are huge and reasonably priced! The atmosphere is laid-back, which further adds to the positive experience. The staff were also cheerful and made me feel welcome instantly. Highly recommend trying their curry dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Monkey Thai has quickly become my favorite Thai restaurant! Their fresh rolls and pad kee mao were fantastic! I also really liked that they offered modifications for spice preferences, a great touch! Service was swift, which I appreciate, and the staff was pleasant. The only downside was the small seating area—could be crowded during peak hours, but the food makes it all worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was curious to visit Monkey Thai after hearing raving reviews and it did not disappoint! The tom kha soup is a must-try—it has an authentic taste and the ingredients are fresh. The service was delightful, and I was pleased with the portion sizes for the price. The cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. I definitely plan to return with friends!

" 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.
