I love the food here! I've had the Island Faux, the Bangkok Noodles and the Beet salad . I'm trying the Mac and Cheese now and it is divine! The servers are always friendly and the food is tasty!

Leslie Luo

Hands down one of my fave restaurants ! The food is great and there is always something new when I come here. My top favorites are the Asian tacos , Guy's fried chicken salad & lavender lemonade !

Joerg Rings

Your friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant . With good food with creative flavors and good drinks, this is the spot to make your second home!

Joy Carletti

There's good improv here, and the Cambodian steak salad is tasty. The chocolate torte is spicy ! If you get it, get it with ice cream !

Nikole Pagan

It's all about the Monkey Fries . And if you are a meat-eater, go for the Pulled Pork Sandwich (it comes with Monkey fries )

Genevieve CW

Try the Asian Tacos - 14-hr braised pork belly and slaw in steamed bao wrapper. Seriously good, but not as amazing as Chairman Bao 's. =P

Mark Bulmer

Plantain nacho chips are so moreish and the paella rocks!

The fried chicken is amazing. All their food rocks!

This menu changes faster than most people's socks. They claim to have a gluten free menu on the website, however it's not to be found.

Anton Shuster

If u like tea , try the love tea at spice monkey!

Bubba Brooks

Everything was good but a bit overpriced for what they were offering.

Matt Smaldone

Decent but not great. The salads are refreshing, but the mint could be used more sparingly. Samosa twists are ok. Mac and cheese while decent lacked flavor. Maybe the meat dishes are better.

Joshua Haberman

The Santa Fe Chorizo burger is great!

Monika Kunz

Wow. Terrible experience here. Definitely the worst of Oakland that I've seen. Super slow service (not really server's fault, they were short staffed). Also rude customers there. Will not return. :(

Kevin Seal
