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!

If I could sum up tonight's dinner in one word it would be confusing.
Starting with the Pomelo salad, the ingredients themselves were good but don't mesh well & the dish didn't feel cohesive. The Wasabi ceviche had much too strong of a wasabi flavour & it completely overwhelms the dish & the flavour of the shrimp. The stuffed wings were good but were far too small (2) for a price of $20 & I couldn't help but end the meal feeling like I had been conned.
Best dish we tried tonight was the fish coconut curry which we added after seeing how small the plates were. Everything pictured was $140 after tax & tip. Service was otherwise good.

Normally I really love Street Monkeys & always recommend it to friends when they visit Montreal, but the pre-set menu that is required for groups over 8 really didn't showcase how good the food can be. I'm glad I requested the wasabi shrimp & I appreciate you accommodating for a pescatarian but I just wasn't blown away by the food we were given & wish the portions were a little bigger for a group of 10. I think everyone got one single skewer & one chicken wing, & a couple bites of the wasabi shrimp. I understand having to do this for bigger groups but maybe having a menu that the host of the party can pre-select from could be something to consider. Service & wine A+!

The food here is excellent. While the portions are on the smaller side, the quality is outstanding & every dish is packed with flavor. We went for a date night & really enjoyed the atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed, the music wasn't too loud, & it made for an easy, enjoyable evening.
We ordered the papaya salad, spicy fried chicken, stuffed wings, & two cocktails. The papaya salad & fried chicken were my favorites, while my husband loved the stuffed wings. Although the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, the taste & quality made it feel worth it. The cocktails were delicious as well, & I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

This is a phenomenal place. The food was excellent & palatable even for the most anti-adventueous guest, & the service & atmosphere were both incredible. This might be a bit of an unpopular opinion but while the stuffed wings are good, the fried chicken is even better. Great place for a night out with friends or a romantic date with your better halves.

We had a really good experience here, from the food to the drinks to the service, everything came together nicely. The space has a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for a casual night out.
We ordered:
• Papaya salad
• Wasabi shrimp ceviche
• Steak
✨ Stuffed Wings: hands down the highlight of the night. It was such a creative, flavorful, & absolutely delicious dish.
Every dish felt thoughtful & full of personality. They are creative but not over the top. Would definitely come back again next time I'm in Montreal.

After reading positive reviews I was really hoping to like this place.
Overall the meal was not worth the money & food average. For example we got 2 skewers of lamb for $56. Each skewer had 6 very small slices (not chunks of meat) & not chops like in the photos. Meat was somewhat tough & unevenly cooked some were well done & others rare. Flavour was nothing special.
Waiter hyped the whole fish of the day which was Arctic char. It was dry & not flaky for $55. It was an okay size but nothing like steamed fish you get at Chinese restaurants which is tender & flaky. I didn't mind the sweet sauce but I prefer a Thai fried fish for sure. I think the frying dried out the fish.
The stuffed zucchini flowers were pretty ho hum. I was really looking forward to this too. The stuffing was shrimp paste which was bit rubbery & bland. I could not taste the flower. It was basically shrimp paste fried in batter. We got 2 orders of 2 on a plate. This cost $60 for 4 pieces to share among 6 people. I would pass on this if I were you.
The fried chicken with sauce on it was okay but reminded me of General Tao. I was hoping for something bit different or interesting.
The chicken wings stuffed with sausage was juicy & flavourful. First time I've had stuffed chicken wings so that was fun.
The sweetbreads were okay served with onions & watercress. I think the watercress was raw while sweet onions were lightly cooked. Sauce was nice too. Pieces of sweetbread were bite size. I am a huge fan of sweetbreads so you can do pretty much anything to them & I will like them The others at the table were not as enamoured with them as I was that is they were a little underwhelmed.
There were several dishes with sweet sauces that tasted similar. It would be nice to have more variety. There were no dishes that were very spicy for those who don't like spice or can't tolerate. NOTE all the sauces are pre-prepared so they can't adjust any of them to make less or more spicy. This was a bit disappointing.
The only thing we had which unanimously WOWED us was the eggplant salad. The dressing was super flavourful; the accompanying vegetables complemented the eggplant well & the eggplant was cooked to perfection. The size of the plate was good too with good amount of eggplant. The whole thing was delicious to point you wanted to lick the plate. Really the only thing I'd go back for. For this reason I regret not ordering the papaya salad too. Maybe this is where this restaurant shines.
The waiter was very nice & was telling us what to order & how many orders without really telling us much about what we would be getting. I don't think you want to be surprised getting 2 orders of lamb skewers & end up with thin slices of lamb on a stick.
As for the atmosphere it was not to my liking. The chairs are Soooo uncomfortable. Metal folding chairs really? For almost a $500 meal I think you can buy some comfortable chairs. Ventilation could be better. I just got through a week of wild fire smoke & then come to this restaurant to suck in more smoke.
You could also put signs on the restroom doors so you don't walk right past them into the kitchen!
It is very loud & we were shouting throughout the evening. We were 6 & I didn't always hear what was being said at the other end of the table & they weren't sitting that far away. In fact I couldn't even hearl the person in front of me either. So we were a bit hoarse by time we left.
I am beginning to wonder not just for this restaurant but many others with good Google ratings & reviews if they are manufactured or planted. I find restaurants get these glowing reviews & then the reality is quite different. This one sadly fits this category. For close to $500 I think pretty much the whole meal should be amazing & make you want to lick all the plates. Am I asking too much?
It was not a total loss. I am glad I tried Cambodian food.

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!

I have been several times, & am never disappointed. The food is so flavourful & delicious. The stuffed chicken wings are to die for. The fish amok is also a win, but would have liked a little more sauce on the plate. The lamb was scrumptious as well. The papaya salad was a little underwhelming, it missed a little oomph even though we asked for it spicy. A pet peeve i have when i go to a SHARING restaurant is when they serve you an odd number in the plate. 3 wings, 3 lamb chops. I mean, I nearly had to fight my companion, but in the end we split them equitably. :) The drinks are also very good.

Really cool space with fantastic food. We got the steak (forgot to take a picture), squid, veggies, & stuffed wings. The steak was packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious. The squid was perfectly cooked.

Popped in on a busy Friday night. Despite having no reservations we were promptly set up with a table & walked through the menu. I think at some point half the staff was at our table for something & they were all attentive & personable. Great crew working that night. The wings were crispy & I'd do some shady stuff for the recipe for the sauce. If they have the house-made sausages, you owe it to yourself to try them (& I'm not even a sausage fan).

A must visit in Montreal. Anything you order it does not fail to deliver. Server was extremely friendly. We always stay at the chef's table, so we can see how they prepare the food. The chefs are very professional & attentive. The stuffed wings & skewers are a must!

We enjoyed our first visit & want to come back to try more delicious & flavourful dishes!! I would recommend the SAUTEED GREENS, STUFFED CHICKEN WINGS, WASABI SHRIMP CEVICHE, FRIED PAPAYA SALAD. We had the YUZU SNOOZE YUZU LOSE & PEARL NECKLACE drinks; delicious & refreshing :) The Crème Brûlée for dessert was amazing!! Thank you!

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!
