Monkey Thai Diner

I was in the neighborhood and my stomach was growling. I opened Yelp and found this gem of a place. Who knew? A Thai Diner! How innovative. The atmosphere was quaint, quiet, serene. The ambience is very uniquely Thai the moment you walk through the door. The greeter (who I assumed) is the owner was friendly and welcoming. The menu was well conceived and presented. The order process was quick. Mine was a take out. It was quick as well. I had the appetizer platter/sampler for 2. Everything was delicious albeit the chicken skewers were on the dry side (white meat). The peanut sauce definitely helped. The fish was done to perfection. Everything was seasoned just right. Parking can be a bit dicey depending where you’re coming from since it’s a busy street. Just be careful parking and merging. N

I love this Thai restaurant it is delicious. Food is hot, fresh, fast & consistent. I typically get drunken noodles Kee Mao. Tried the fried ice cream was different and tasty enough to share . They have great lunch specials too.

The food was very delicious, and spice levels not subtle. Mild is spicy, so beware. I like spicy, got medium, and it was perfect. The right amounts of sweet and spice with good use of sesame oil.accommodate. the calamari was tender and fried just right with a soft batter. If you know the location, its an old diner redone to various restaurants through the years. Last few have all been Thai restaurants. I think this is 4th different once since the early 2000's. This one very close to the original Thai that was there. Service was okay, came over to ask how things were but didnt refill the water carafe that's were at the table. Place is not big, so when they are busy, parties of 8 or more will be hard to accomodate.

The Springrolls and calamari were very good. Thai Iced Tea was good. My Husband had the fried Snapper it was fantastic.

From one visit, I can say I enjoyed the flavors in their Thai food! I usually like having the pad krapow (minced chicken with basil) dishes. It’s my first visit here since the restaurant changed ownership from the previous Thailand Restaurant. Flavors and textures were all better than usual! I only wish I had slightly more rice which is a personal preference. Note that I tried Medium spiciness, and their menu levels go all the way up to Thai spicy. I paid over $20 for one entree which seems to be standard for pricing lately.
