Mona Loa offers a unique and highly atmospheric experience, frequently described as an immersive, cave-like speakeasy that stands out for its chic decor and vibrant, club-like energy. Many guests praise the expertly crafted cocktails and flavorful, well-presented food, highlighting the sushi and appetizers as excellent choices for a night out.

Ambiance is nice but drinks are nothing special (bartenders should taste their drinks b4 serving them) every drink was way too acidic. Food was nothing special. Karrage chicken was good but sushi rolls were mid.

Un merci particulier à notre bartender/ serveur de la soirée Nishant. Je vous recommande l'endroit qui est idéal pour une date ou une soirée entre amis ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

First time here, seated at the bar. The food was excellent - the karaage chicken was outstanding & the maki were very flavorful. Cocktails were great, & the bartender provided good service.
The downside: at 9 p.m. (with an 8 p.m. reservation), we were asked to leave to accommodate another booking. I understand the concept of table turnover, but for a Friday night dinner, one hour feels too short. It would be better to clearly inform guests upfront about the seating time.
I also didn't appreciate the repeated offers of free shooters to smooth over the situation - that's not why I go out. I prefer to enjoy my evening at my own pace.
$150 per person in one hour… dessert & the last cocktail were enjoyed elsewhere.

Sat at the bar & had an amazing experience. The bartender was so attentive & she can make whatever you wish. The tempura shrimp were a highlight.

Was walking by & decided to go in for a quick drink with a friend & ended up staying until closing. We became best friends with Megan the bartender, she is an angel. Such a beautiful place, highly recommend!
