Visited Les Street Monkey recently & the experience was just average overall. The food took a very long time to come out, which made the dining experience frustrating. Most of the dishes were also too salty for my taste.
That being said, the stuffed chicken was actually delicious & probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, one good dish wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the experience.
Not a terrible place, but personally I wouldn't come back.
Tout est toujours parfait au restaurant Les Street Monkeys. L'atmosphère est détendue & le serveur amical & serviable. AU bar, devant la cuisine, on peut même poser des questions aux cuisiniers! Toujours une belle expérience!
Nous avons passé une agréable soirée aux Street Monkeys. Le menu est varié & les choix sont nombreux. Le service est attentif & chaleureux. Belle exécution des plats, mention spéciale au ceviche de crevettes qui est particulièrement relevé!
Tout simplement WOW, super bouffe bien réussie, un vrai délice L'équipe de service & de cuisine sont vraiment efficace & beau à voir travailler. Mention spéciale pour les cocktail savoureux👌
Streetmonkeys is such a hidden gem. The food is incredible-fresh, flavorful, & you can really taste the authenticity in every dish. The mix of Thai & Cambodian flavors is unique & sooooo well executed. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared & perfectly balanced. The chef Tota is an artist behind the counter- try to get bar seats by the kitchen - its so much fun to watch them prep all the delicious meals that come out platted!
The atmosphere is fun. The staff is super friendly & attentive without being overbearing, which makes the whole experience even better. Ask for'mom's spring rolls'!
We recently tried Les Street Monkeys & was impressed by the authenticity of the Cambodian cuisine. The flavors felt true to tradition, with well-balanced spices & ingredients that gave each dish a genuine, homemade taste. It's clear that care has been taken to stay faithful to Cambodian culinary roots, which is something not always easy to find.
The menu offers a good representation of classic dishes, & the overall quality of the food is solid. Each plate delivers bold, distinct flavors that make the experience enjoyable, especially for those looking to explore something beyond more common Asian cuisines.
However, the main downside is the portion size relative to the price. While the food is undeniably authentic & well-prepared, the portions feel a bit small for what you pay. This can make the overall value less appealing, particularly if you come in expecting a more filling meal.
That said, if authenticity is your priority & you're curious about Cambodian flavors, Les Street Monkeys is still worth a visit. Just be mindful of the pricing & portion sizes when ordering.

Cerviche was strong wasabi but delicious. Messiah was delicious. Squid also great with side of rice. Fried tamarind fish was ok. We should've gone with the cod. Overall great experience.
Parfait mélange entre la cuisine de rue & la gastronomie. Beaux mélanges de saveurs, sans prétention. Le menu de groupe est exceptionnel, 8 à 9 plats à partager. Je vous garantis que vous n'aurez pas faim en sortant.
The food was great & unique. Im glad i went. I would say it's probably a good date night joint where you're not trying to fill yourself up to the point where you get the itis.
The only negative would be that it's a bit pricey... let's just say it's also not the type of place I would go to everynight or week even. A bday celebration here would be nice if you get where im coming from.
Le ceviche de crevettes toujours aussi délicieux. La prochaine fois je fais la morue grillée que j'ai pu goûter. Le service a été particulièrement agréable & impeccable hier malgré ma maladresse & un beau dégât de limonade. Miam miam miam! Merci!
