The atmosphere & the hospitality was amazing, food was top tier, it's a very precise & detailed space when it's come to culture, preservation, & cuisine. One of our favorite dishes was stuffed chicken wings, steak with prahok, & the amok . Wide array of traditional dishes while adding a modern twist. Would go again, highly recommend!

This was my second time there & once again it was a delectable experience! If you can handle the wasabi, I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche!!! The Amok cod is so delicious & a little cocktail- the main squeeze- just rounds it all off!!
Had one of the most memorable meals of the year at Les street monkeys. I highly recommend trying their seasonal items as everything is fresh & flavourful. Every dish was unique, saucy, full of flavour & highly enjoyable. The best dish of the night had to be the NATAING (seasonal dish: porc) but the fried chicken was memorable. I loved my cocktail (2ND BASE ON THE STREET) with notes of coconut & pandan. I can easily say it was one of the best coconut cocktails i've ever had. Impeccable service, nice ambiance & decor.
We dined here for the MTL à Table menu & everything was excellent. The appetizers & desserts were particularly divine. Incredible flavours! Highly recommend the house lemonade!
First time trying this restaurant. A little intimated by the Cambodian food but we were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, from the service, the food & the atmosphere. Will definitely got back. We highly recommend it.

It's truly impossible to have a bad experience here. The chefs & staff are clearly passionate & in their element, creating an atmosphere that feels both professional & welcoming. Sitting at the bar offers a front-row seat to the culinary action-a bonus experience in itself.
The owners are consistently warm & attentive, ensuring that both the food & overall experience are top-notch.
This spot is a neighborhood favorite for a reason, so making a reservation is highly recommended!
Big shoutout to Hilary with her knowledge of the menu along with her friendly relaxed vibe. Another shoutout to our friend Erick for bringing us out of towners to Les Street Monkeys for dinner on Saturday night. From the papaya salad, to the cod in amok sauce, savoury grilled beef & chicken skewers & lamb chops. An interesting take on the bone marrow with the palate cleansing broth. All of it was so good! Wish we had room for the pork belly & the stuffed chicken wings! Delicious cocktails to wash it all down. Highly recommend eating here! Also, we were told about a pop-up collab that Chef Tota of Les Street Monkeys is doing with DaiLo in Toronto, so I'm hoping to make it out there!

Had another amazing meal at Street Monkeys last night. Our server Raquel was friendly & accommodating, & the food was innovative & delicious! Highly recommend!
Take a seat & be ready for this STELLAR review. I just spent my 50th birthday at The Street Monkeys & when I say it's SUPERB, it's an understatement. 1) Hillary made the booking experience a breeze for a group of 20. We did a set meal, chef's choice of 7(!) dishes but I could request certain items if wanted. Also, she made sure to ask if there were any dietary restrictions ahead of time or anything else we needed. Thank you Hillary! 2) Chef Tota Oung, your food is magnificent! The entire group agreed & many had never tried any type of Khmer or Thai food before. Thank you & your chefs for the delicious everything! We had so much food, I got to take home the leftovers which I am feasting on as I leave this review! Arkoun Chran/Kop kun ka 3) Henry, our server, gave impeccable service! We were a big crowd in a full restaurant on a Saturday night & he made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Xie xie ni! 4)The cocktails & signature beer. YUUUMMMMMMY. I should have made a point to meet & thank the bartender. I'll be back to do that soon enough! 5) No complaints from the staff or owners about my rowdy group singing Happy Birthday 5x+ 😂 I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some delicious spicy Thai / Cambodian food, delicious cocktails amazing service & a great time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Really amazing servers & service, super helpful & informed us about each dish. Sat at the chefs table & highly recommend it, you can see them prepare each dish with finesse. They offer smaller portion sizes which I prefer that way you can try many menu items & don't have to suffer through indecision. Also the pancakes for dessert were super delicious. Highly recommend if you aren't sure. There wasn't a thing that I ordered that was a dud. Overall great experience looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!!!!
so so good & unique! Cannot wait to return. Everyone was so kind. The food is sharable & was paced pretty well. We were never rushed. We got to try so many unusual foods. Highly recommend!
The food is always the highlight when we visit Street Monkeys. The dishes come out in a timely manner & are always delicious. I highly recommend the papaya salad & the stuffed chicken wings amongst other things. Cocktails are decent. The hostess who seems to be a manager (I think) is lovely. I didn't catch her name but she always has a smile & is very accommodating considering they are usually packed. Definitely one of my favourite Asian restaurants & puts Cambodia on the map!
