Accueil chaleureux! Service impeccable! Belle ambiance! Souci de propreté! Entreprise familiale.
Nous avons pris le menu découverte: Excellent choix! Plats variés, saveurs & plaisir à les déguster…
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 Yuzu Snooze Yuzu loose gin cocktail was delicious-fresh & nicely tangy. We loved it.
We shared three dishes between the two of us & it was more than enough. The papaya salad was fresh & crunchy, followed by the squid, which was perfectly tender & just as good.
We then had the fried rice special with Hokkaido scallops-four large scallops served with a really tasty lemony sauce on the side.
For dessert, we shared the dessert of the day: a tapioca pudding with pumpkin & chantilly on top (we asked for it without cinnamon). It was light, sweet, & a great way to end the meal.
Service was efficient & friendly. & our waiter knew how to explain the menu & the ingredients perfectly.
Truly in a league of their own. Easily in my top 3 restaurants in the city. Fun to go to on a date, with friends, with family, or with coworkers. The food is of the highest quality & the service is impeccable. The owners are wonderful & very involved in the business which gives the restaurant a personal charm.

It was my second time at this restaurant & it did not disappoint. Staff is very knowledgeable & service is impeccable. The food is delicious & portions are very decent. We were a group of 5 & will definitely return.
Nous étions satisfaits de notre expérience jusqu'à ce que nous goûtions aux légumes sautés, amers & présentés d'une façon peu intéressante. Tu ne peux pas les manger sans avoir un couteau & c'est assez ordinaire. Faites attention lorsque c'est indiqué PM Prix du Marché. J'ai oublié de demander & la portion de steak est revenue à $67, ce qui est plus du triple du prix moyen des autres plats. Ça ne la valait pas.
Pour un repas à $270 le rapport qualité/prix n'y est pas.
Notre première fois à ce restaurant, mais clairement pas la dernière! Tout nous a plu, l'ambiance, le service, les cocktails & surtout la nourriture. Nous étions 4 & avons commandé 8 plats que nous avons partagé.
Le serveur les apporte quelques uns à la fois, dans une séquence parfaite. Nous avons tout aimé, mais notre plat préféré était la morue dans une sauce au cari & au lait de coco.
Mention honorable au poulet frit, au calmar au poivre, brochettes de boeuf, ceviche de crevettes au wasabi & à la salade de papaye.
Un restaurant à essayer pour les saveurs & l'originalité !
Les Street Monkeys is one of our favourite places. The food is so off the wall fabulous. Such original food recipes. Always consistantly good ( A most important point ) The service is spot on to the point where your water glass is always full. The service people are so lovely & the patrons all smiley & happy enjoying their food.
Must tries... Shrimp Ceviche, Pepper Squid, Fried Chicken... Well everything really... Lol

The service was exceptional- good advice, very patient, every plat described with detail. Very polite. Just regret that tasting menu didn't include a small sweet ending.
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.

Nous étions quatre à partager des plats, très agréable, l'arrivée des différents plats a été bien agencé. Les goûts étaient exceptionnels & très différentes de l'offre culinaire cambodgienne courante. Nous avons hâte de renouveler l'expérience.
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.
A great Cambodian culinary experience 🇰🇭 cozy & nice place for a date or just a night out . The food is yummy from the wasabi to kebab. The cocktails are just wow ,Miss Cambodgienne is my fav 😍 ,Lucy Lui is also great & they have an spicy mojito, just perfect .
