Came here with a friend last week. Food: what I ordered? I ordered the fish and chips and the potstickers... fish and chips 6/10, potstickers 2/10 (they were super doughy I sent them back lol) Strawberry lemonade to drink was tasty. Service: mediocre....you order yourself via your mobile device and they just bring your food...they forgot to bring half of my friends order. Literally like an hour in he finally got his drink and chow mein. Ambiance- it was super loud but cool. Not sure if I'll go out of my way to go back. read more

The food was so delicious, we didn't wait that long for our food to arrive. I would literally recommend this spot. The calamari was fire so as the salt and pepper wings delish. read more

The Crab fried rice was delicious. Great atmosphere with music and tasty cocktails. Will definitely return back to dine in.

We came here for work by accident, we were trying to go somewhere else, but someone at my job has a problem with directions. Either way, we arrived and parking was pretty easy with the lot in the back. We sat at a table while we waited for the rest of our party. No one talks to you, until you go up to the counter. The menu is pretty large, and kind of all over the place. There were many things I wanted to try, but it was semi expensive for me to try more than one thing. My Mongolian Beef Chow Mein was $20 It was pretty good, I wouldn't say no to going again, but the price was kind of ridiculous in my mind, so that's why I went with 4 stars, I wish I could give 4.5. read more

My family came here to reconnect after several years, good ambience and plenty of space to sit without feeling packed. The best time to come is right when they open the food is fresh and there's almost no wait time your food comes out right away! The service was also amazing and the ppl there are very patient the only reason I took away one start is because they don't really have waiters or servers. To help you order And the app you have to use to order has a couple I items missing. So we had to walk to the bar to order. read more

I ordered for pick up tonight. I orders 2 BBQ pork fried rice and 2 Mongolian beef chowmein which came out to $65.00 not bad.These are my favorite entrees here. They are always delish. On the phone they said 25 min but it fid take a bit longer more like 50 min but it's definitely worth the wait I just wish they would have told me it would've told me it would take longer so I didn't have to wait 25 extra minutes rather just coming in 50 min. None the less I love the food and the service is efficient and the ambiance was chill not too crowded for dine in maybe next time I'll just order for dine in. read more

So I've been to Monkey King at the Brewery many times and idk why, but I expected this location to be a more refined restaurant type of place. It was totally the opposite lol. Came here Sunday evening & it just felt like a mess. Busy. Super loud. Took awhile to get acknowledged for a table. We were a party of 2 & got seated at one of the long tables against the wall. Whenever our server brought anything out to us, she'd leave it on the furthest edge of the table & walk away. I'd have to stand up to reach for the items every time, which was annoying. Food was okay. Not as many selections for the wings compared to at the brewery. I liked that the hot & sour soup had lots of mushrooms and tofu. Our overall experience here was lacking. Unfortunately, don't think we'd come back. read more

We had a taste for Chinese food and it was getting late. Went to Door Dash for some suggestions, and up popped Monkey King! The food traveled from Alameda to Emeryville, and was still piping hot. The garlic noodles were super delicious. My second favorite were the dry fried ribs. They were well seasoned and fried to perfection. The rest of the meal consisted of broccoli and beef, shrimp fried rice, and pork lumpia. If I absolutely had to give a critique , I'd say that they didn't give us any soy sauce. I'd definitely recommend this place highly. read more

My wife and I have been going there for years. It's the most amazing food I've had in a long time.

The food and service was amazing at this location. I was shocked there wasn't more people here on a Sumday. I love the options of lemonade flavors. The restaurant was huge with tons of seating. I highly recommend. read more

Honestly they only have one meal I can eat there since I'm mostly vegan/vegetarian, and it's the garlic green beans and it is sooo good! Oh and the garlic fries are great too. For those who love chicken wings, they have great wings there also, remembered from years ago when I did eat meat. read more

Service here was mehhh. Just FYI, there were no servers walking around so you have to go to the bar to order. The guy handed my friend back the credit card and it was super oily and sticky. But let's talk about the chicken wings and garlic noodles! These were the most delicious items on the menu because chicken wings were salt and pepper but the Asian style. The garlic noodles were super garlicky but chewy as they use like udon style noodle. Lots of ample seating though in the restaurant. Park is currently a little challenging, but hope it will subside. read more

Great food and drinks and very nice service. Relaxing joyful it's also for families and parties

B&B 5 star: A unique way of ordering and service that works for those that want to eat, get deunk and go. Yes, I ment strong drinks along with big noodles. I give a rare 5 to the pork noodles for the people that like to eat with there hands or nibble. The sauce not too sweet and I was told you can add heat is the best and drowned with sauce that can be uses on another dish you've ordered. The bar looks like it is set to have anything come out of it, bit all I know is my double gingerly drink set me back enough to walk a block to see Top Gun at the theater . Alameda has many local restaurants that serve LOCALS and those who cross the bridges. read more

Not sure why this is my 1st review on this popular restaurant...... I've been coming here for several years now However this is the 1st time being back since the pandemic Several changes have been made to ensure customer safety due to the pandemic such as paperless menus and you can order on line I walked in and I saw a kiosk to check in to be seated I was starting to check in on line when an employee greeted me and told me she can seat me immediately AWESOME!!! We got seated and placed our orders .... I ordered the Lychee martini, (garlic noodles and wings to go) My martini was ready super quick and it was great!! The perfect mix !! So much so I ordered another one Friend ordered food to dine in ..... food came out fast and hot The waiters and servers were great !! Food was good Garlic noodles were kinda soggy or mushy Kinda over cooked I guess Music was on POINT And the music really set the vibe !! Parking is honestly hard to find , street parking only and I literally drove around the block 3 times before finding parking I low key blame the City of Alameda for the parking issues since they decided to mess with street parking The ladies bathroom was a mess!! Low key kinda gross The floor inside the venue was "sticky " Will I be back YES LOL It's a vibe here !! read more

The food is fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful and very welcoming, great for and easy night out with friends and family...

My first impressions of Monkey King Pub & Grub were that they are certainly the place to be for late night eating and drinking! Our host/waiter was a very friendly guy who greeted us and we waited a few minutes to be seated at our table. The place was very busy and a bit noisy but that's what to expect since this pub was filled with families and friends who were there to get their "Grub-On"!!! By the looks of things at other tables there were quite a few dishes that looked really good and delicious...this being my first time there my friend and I ordered their Wonton Soup (we ordered extra Wonton), an order of Garlic Noodles, Spicy/Sweet Korean Style Chicken Wings, Mango Lemonade and their Lychee Lemonade. Everything that we ordered was delicious especially the Korean Style Chicken Wings...they were Tangy and Sweet just the way we like them. read more

This review is long over due. Went here for Chinese New Year because this was one of the few places with Chinese (ok fusion) food that was still open. Ordered the shrimp garlic noodles. The flavor was good but couldn't get over the huge udon style noodles as opposed to the typical spaghetti or a smaller size pasta. Also a little short on the garlic. Another dish was the broccoli beef This was an interesting take in that it was more like oyster sauce beef with broccoli. The sauce was a little overpowering, so it seemed one-dimensional. But the mushrooms were a nice touch. The best thing was the chicken and corn soup, which was piping hot. It was smooth and flavorful, though the presence of MSG was there. Also had the monkey king fried rice. The texture was good, but it was on the salty side as the soy sauce and Spam were dominant. On the plus side, the portions were huge! This was like an Asian fusion Claim Jumper. The food is not mind boggling, but you do get a lot of it. The service on the other hand was exceptional. They work together from the kitchen to bring all the dishes, and the bartender was really sweet and attentive. She made sure we were well taken care of. It's also got a few big screen TVs for watching games. If you're looking for a Chinese Food themed sports bar this is about as close as you'll get. It's basically 3 to 3 1/2 stars for the food and an extra star for outstanding service. read more

Food is always on point here! I love the salt and pepper wings that come with fries. I ended up eating almost all of it before I made it to my destination (I was hungry lol). I also got their Cajun pasta which I LOVE!! The right amount of spice and flavor. I ordered ahead, food was ready upon arrival and the service was efficient , nice and they put in utensils and napkins without me having to ask (becoming more rare at some places these days). Will always come back here. read more

Crab fried rice is soooo good!! Love the lemon pepper wings the most from here! Would recommend

I am perplexed about this place. Some food items here are really delicious and I appreciate the late hours, but the cons definitely supersede the good this time around. We came here on a Friday night, which I was expecting it to be packed like I usually see whenever we stop by Scolaris a couple doors down. No line or waitlist so we got seated right away. We waited a bit and a server brought us water and then told us we can scan the QR code or order at the bar. We ordered food online, but be advised that you have to order specialty drinks at the bar. Food took a while to get to us. If you come here, be prepared to chill or hang out. If we were in a hurry, I think I would have been even more disappointed. The salt and pepper wings are fire and as well as the fried rice. Corn in a bowl is okay - but will cure that elote craving in a pinch. They did not bring out our egg rolls until we brought it to their attention and we had to show our receipt. Those were not worth waiting even longer for. All in all, I think I would try again and see if it was a one off night for service. I do like the food and I really like the location. read more

Amazing Food, Fast Service, also with a Brewery next door they will deliver your food over. Wish San Diego had one cause this place would kill it over here. Def a go to spot whenever we make it back up north. read more

Had not been in here in YEARSSSS Between Covid and the over saturation in popularity had given this place a break. Someone mentioned it to me in passing and I just knew I had to go back. Went on a Wednesday and it wasn't packed at all , we sat ourselves and ordered using the QR CODE easily. Ordered the Mongolian noodles, salt & pepper chicken with fries and my 8YO insisted on calamari. Food was quick , prices feel pretty much the same, && the food was as good as I remember. Ordered drinks from the bar I ordered some peach drink it was good but not a lot for the price, the jungle juice was intense AF. read more

Monkey King Pub & Grub - Shrimp Garlic Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alameda, California

We ate there last night at 11pm because it was the only place open in the area. We ordered the garlic noodles, crab fries, and fried tofu. The cashier had NO communication skills. She made EVERYTHING about ordering so awkward. And after speaking with her, me and my friends had a bad taste in our mouths. Unappetizing. The food took over 15 minutes to prep. I checked in after 10 minutes (it wasn't busy inside? But they had alot of take out orders) and the cashier didn't even look up when I was at the register. I said "HEY" twice before she told me "HOLD ON". I couldn't tell what she was doing? On the register typing? On her phone? Whatever. I asked if the fried tofu that has shrimp chips can be put where its not touching (i.e a bag/paper separated etc) and she had to go in through kitchen and ask if its possible. We all heard the cook tell her NO out loud. My friend asked for a cup of water from her and the cashier said "...water?" My friend never got her water. We finally got our food and EVERYTHING WAS SO GREASY. I never ate here and last night reminded me WHY I DON'T. Didn't even get pics of the food what a waste of $. The garlic noodles were left there, full plate. My friend ate the tofu and said it wasn't even worth the $. Shes vegan, and doesn't eat shellfish. Thats why i asked if the shrimp chips can be put to the side. The crab fries, didn't look or taste like crab. WTF. This place is terrible read more

WHEN: Friday @6pm I've always been curious about eating here and learning what the hype is all about. I finally did it but as takeout since we are still in a pandemic. Here's what I ordered: SALT & PEPPER WINGS & FRIES - HALF ORDER - $8 Fried chicken wings and fries sautéed with garlic, salt, pepper, fresh jalapenos and green onions. I'm glad they do half orders otherwise it would have been too much food. This comes with 5 pieces or crispy on the outside and tender inside savoy wings. There's a lot of garlic and green onions with lots of sliced jalapeño peppers. It's not spicy, and overall I really enjoyed this. The French fries were okay. They are probably better if you order dining in. SPICY STRING BEANS & TOFU - $13 Flash fried string beans and tofu sautéed with spicy spices. I decided to be a whimp and requested they make it less spicy/mild. I don't know if they did but it came out to be barely spicy, yay! This dish may appear healthy since its string beans and tofu, but Im' sure its far from it, haha. I was hoping the tofu would have that nice battered and deep fried outer layer, but it didn't. This dish overall was quite greasy and jam packed full with lots garlic! There are some onions and carrots too. It's a pretty decent sized dish great for sharing, and having it with either rice or noodles. GARLIC NOODLES - $11 +$2 for Beef, Chicken, or BBQ Pork. Butter and garlic sautéed with thick egg noodles. I chose beef, but really it's fine as is without any meat. The beef was just okay and tender. The garlic noodles has that rich buttery flavor and I see why people are crazy about it. I think it shaved off 2 years of my life though. These noodles had a creamy texture to it, and you very much taste the garlic and butter! As tasty as everything was, I need to do my arteries a favor and never order again, haha. I know I know there's still a lot of yummy dishes I have yet to try. Maybe one day I'll come with friends and have all the dishes and all the cocktails and really understand why this place is always busy. read more

Got take it last night for first time. Food was great. Garlic shrimp noodles we're delicious. Full of shrimp! Which I was shocked by, most places give you a few. Salt and pepper wings were served with fries. Half order was a great appetizer. read more

Be sure to order extra fries if you get any kind of wings and don't want just 12 fries to go with it

Disappointed. MK use to be my fav, they had the best garlic noodles. But I've been there twice in the last year, once recently giving it another chance. Once again failed, dry & flavorless noodles. Guess the MK days are over read more

This place is the joint! It's not a place for a romantic date night with someone new. But a fantastically fun option with a ridiculously wide variety of slamming' food options, good music, entertaining people watching, and for those who enjoy sports televisions to satisfy that fix. The garlic noodles are a family favorite that have graced many at home movie nights. Crab fried rice and Kimchi fried rice are both fantastic. Do yourself a favor and check out the menu before hand if possible it was pretty extensive. And also if you go anytime Fri-Sunday get there early or don't complain about having to wait. Just saying! read more
