The Monkey King

“Asian-fusion restaurant in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. They are a blend between Chinese and Bengali influences. Came here for a pre-show dinner. For starters, we ordered the scallion pancakes and the chicken dumplings. We also ordered a side of Szechuan marinated cucumbers. All the small plates were fantastic - we particularly enjoyed the scallion pancakes which came with a very nice dipping sauce. For mains, we ordered the cumin lamb ribs, double garlic eggplant, and a side of crab fried rice. I have never had a lamb dish cooked so well and seasoned perfectly. The double garlic eggplant was also delicious and the sauce that it was in was perfect for dipping pieces of lamb as well as the fried rice. The crab fried rice was awesome, the crab meat was perfectly blended in so you weren't eating a big chunks of crab. This has definitely been one of the best Asian fusion restaurants I have been to. Overall: 9/10”

“First time being at this restaurant, and it was incredible. The staff was super attentive and nice. The vibes were very chill but comfortable. Their drinks and cocktails were from a select menu, and you can tell everything was curated. All the food was seasoned and cooked to perfection; the peking duck was the crown jewel and a must-have, but the roasted duck-fat fried rice came in a close second. We were celebrating our anniversary, and they made it extra special. This is a high recommend, and we will be back!”

“Took my daughter here for dinner. Very nice ambiance however the seating area was very tight where other ppl butt was touching me. The food was ok the shrimp pancake thingy was tasty we ordered 2 the crab rice was on the dryer side and as well as the ribs. The drinks was way too pricey to be filled with so much ice. Two sip and it finished no exaggeration. Tasty just too much ice.”
