We come here every year when we visit Savannah. It's always a little different, decor wise, and with the wait for seating. (During the week this visit we had no wait- which was GREAT!). I always get the Spicy Lemongrass Noodles (baseline usually not very spicy- you can add table side spices to your liking). They vary a little year to year but I always enjoy them. Cold air inside, waters stayed full, but it can be fairly noisy depending who you're sat next to and how busy the place is. Tables can be a bit tight for a couple as you'll only get a 2 top (they get busy and need to save the larger tables for bigger parties). We were able to order before the 10 top next to us, so our food came out super fast! (Yay!!) Could use two bathrooms though, the one they have is large but when they are packed it can be quite a wait. Lots of metered street parking on Broughton and nearby streets. We'll be back again! read more

4.5/5 stars. My first restaurant stop in Savannah! A cute Asian restaurant, I loved that they have the origin of the food listed on the menu for each item. Makes it fun to try dishes from different locations, especially for those unfamiliar with Asian cuisine. Very pricey menu. Pad Thai 2.5/5 could have had way more flavor and had zero spice, and they didn't ask if we wanted a spice level at all. Flavor came out once chili sauce was added. Red spicy noodles were spicy and yummy! 5 spice BBQ pork plate was super flavorful, loved this dish! Lychee sake martini just tasted like lychee juice which was great. They also add in 2 lychees to eat/garnish! A good spot, nothing to write home about. Probably wouldn't come back, there was nothing wrong with the place, just nothing exceptional. read more

I ordered the pho soup to go from The Flying Monkey and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced and really on point. The portion was very generous, enough to easily serve about three people. Service was quick, and the staff was very kind and welcoming. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely order again. read more

Popped in for dinner. My wife had the crispy pork and I had the wonton-noodle soup. Pork was nice and crispy, a good size serving with plenty of rice. My soup had soft, large wonton, mushrooms, pork and sprouts in a nice broth, along with egg noodles. The iced green tea is also very good. It's a casual place and was very busy on a Tuesday around 7pm. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this Asian restaurant in Savannah. I did not have high expectations of a general Asian restaurant in a touristy part of Savannah. Usually the good Asian restaurants are a bit more on the outskirts of cities / not in the touristy parts. I went over the 4th of July weekend so it was busy but I didn't need to wait to long to be seated (maybe 15 minutes? I ended up wandering by in the nearby stores and was able to receive a all once my table was ready). We got the master Shifu noodles (this one I liked more) and the house special fried rice (more generic, still decent). Portion sizes were generous and service was quick! Would recommend to go again read more

Good phô. Good Vietnamese iced coffee. Good, but a bit Americanized spring rolls (a bit heavy on the meat). As far as Asian food goes, this about the best we've had in the Savannah area. We enjoyed this small little shop. I've had better Phô, but not usually. This was very good. Tended a bit sweet for my taste, but that's probably just a style thing. Service was fine. read more

Checked out this spot when I was in Savannah a while back and I really enjoyed what I ordered! Got the Na Na Noodles which comes with beef or shrimp, wide rice noodles, soy bean sauce, chinese broccoll, egg, cilantro and onions. I got mine with beef and it tasted so good! It was fresh, hot, and had a nice spice level to it. The dish was super filling, beef was cooked perfectly, and I love that it wasn't too soggy. It's one of their most popular dishes and it's so easy to see why. Didn't think I'd finish the whole thing, but I did and really wanted to order one to go. read more

SO and I stopped here after a few days of southern cuisine overload. The chicken pho broth and noodles were good, but far from the best we've ever had. The lemongrass shrimp was full of fresh veggies, which was very refreshing. The bok choy was good, but over seasoned. Bottom line, the service was excellent and so was the food considering the location. read more

Small space so don't bring a large party or a stroller. We had to leave our stroller by the host. The food did come out fast though. There was inside seating and outside seating but we might as well have sat outside because it was really hot inside. The drunken noodle was good, it had some spice to it. read more

This was our first time here, and our friends had recommended it. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed. We began with the Braised pork belly, which was decent. The pork was tender, but I was hoping for a bit more flavor. The drinks here were excellent, and the noodles were delicious. The waitress was very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. read more

Overdue review as we've been here couple of times and the food and experience have been consistently awesome. If there is one thing I can nit pick, it's that the tables are small. We tried quite a few dishes here and everything is top notch. Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 3.5/5 read more

Amazing. Chicken Pho!! The broth is so good and it's a huge amount!!! Nice place on Broughton . Staff was super friendly as well. Will def be back!!! read more

Extremely nice waitress. Fast service. I was recommended the drunken noodles. $20 for the dish. Some of my noodles were hard and the chicken wasn't tasty to me, so I pushed it to the side. The sauce was good but it was almost soupy. A little less sauce would have made it better. The dish isn't worth $20. Maybe $18. I got the Vietnamese ice coffee. $9. It was good, but I had better for cheaper. Good enough to come back and try another dish, like maybe rice. But just not crazy about what I ordered. I see the potential though for sure. read more

I would suggest making a reservation because this place was poppin on a Sunday night. There's not a large dining room but a good amount of seating. I got sat awkwardly right in the center at a 2-top which was fine but I know the people around me got a good view of how much food I can put down! I literally couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered the roasted duck plate AND the wonton noodle soup with BBQ pork bc I'm a fatty! Their ticket times were A-1! My food came out quickly and hot. I let my noodle soup cool down a bit while I worked on my duck plate. So they give you this ginger fish sauce, OMG delicious. I asked for like 3 more sides to pour over my rice. I love spicy so they gave me a small spice rack and I stole all the chili peppers . The pickled carrots on top was a nice element of acid with the fatty but delicious duck. Solid 5/5 Noodle soup- I mean the broth was pleasantly savory, I'm obsessed with fried garlic chips cooked into the broth bc it gives it such a nice aroma. The veggies (bok choy, cabbage) scallions, perfect chewy texture on the noodles and the juicy pieces of BBQ pork. It's literally one of my fave things to eat on earth. My server from the get go was so funny and friendly. I noticed majority of their staff are Asian or Pacific Islander which I thought was really cool bc I'm part Viet myself and seeing how the menu has a dish from all parts of SE Asia was super cool. I legit took my husband here the next day bc I enjoyed it so much. We got the curry noodle soup and chicken dish. Very tender and juicy chicken with that same set up as the duck. Simple but so flavorful. Anytime I'm in Savannah, I will be eating here. PERIOD! read more

Featuring dishes from across Asia, this restaurant brings a diverse cultural spread to the table, all served by a warm and friendly staff. The cozy ambiance and charming street-facing view make it a great spot to unwind. The pho stood out with its rich, well-developed flavors, though the Peking duck was a miss -- lacking that signature crispiness and arriving noticeably undercooked. The true standout of the visit, however, was the Red Geisha -- an absolute delight from the first sip to the last. read more

I will recommend this restaurant again and again! Any chance I get to go to Flying Monk, I take it--and when I'm under the weather, I'll even Uber Eats my favorite dishes because I love it that much. If it's a chilly day, I usually go for the White Elephant noodle dish--it's pure comfort in a bowl. But if it's Savannah-hot, the Spicy Lemongrass hits the spot every time. Honestly, I've never had a meal here I didn't love, and I'm always sending friends their way! read more

This was one of our favorites. The quality is still great but quantity of food has gone DOWN Prices have gone UP! We ordered Singapore Noodles with shrimp (has exactly 4 shrimp) for $20. Pad Thai with Chicken (had 2 small pieces of chicken) for $20. And spring rolls (3 very small per order) for $15 $60 for very little food!! read more

Incredible experience and delicious food! We went to the Flying Monk pretty late on a Saturday night and were seated right away by the very friendly host staff. Our server Mina greeted up promptly and brought waters out with our drinks which was so thoughtful. It was a fun, casual vibe for a weekend dinner but could've also been great for a quick weekday lunch because the food came out in minutes. We tried the pho, drunken noodles, and na na noodles all of which were super tasty, great noodle dishes. They brought out some chili oils with our food as well and we found those very fun to try and experiment with the varying levels of spice. Overall, this place is totally worth the hype and if I'm ever back in Savannah I will definitely stop in here again! read more

Came here for a quick lunch. Short walk from the Andaz Hotel. Such a great and varied menu nicely noted with the country of origin for each meal (Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, etc). Service was fast and friendly. Quality phenomenal. Indoor as well as outdoor seating for either a quaint Asian feel or perfectly poised for people watching. We come to Savannah often and always wanted to try this place. Finally did. Love it !! read more

Small restaurant that stays packed. Servers are efficient and friendly! Food is delivered quickly and tastes excellent! i had the Basil chicken and two of my friends had pad thai. we were all very pleased! Go early as they don't take reservations and take a big appetite as there are large portions! read more

I, in the kindest way possible, think this place is wildly overrated. Wait staff is very kind and attentive, but the food comes immediately after being ordered - like it's sitting on standby in mass amounts and is not made-to-order. So a perk would be zero wait time, I guess?! My friend and I ordered the edamame dumplings and drunken noodles - both plates tasted leftover and were clearly not freshly made. Not to mention the cockroach that was running around and squished while we were eating - though the waitress was very calm and discreet about it, it was gross to experience. Sorry to say I would not recommend or try again. read more

We went here twice during our recent trip to Savannah. It is one of our must go to spots when we visit. I love the edamame dumplings and my sister loves the spring rolls. We tried the Na Na noodles with beef and we will definitely be getting them again! read more

We came here on a cold rainy evening to get some pho. We both got beef pho. Broth was a bit lacking in depth of labor, but other than that it's pretty basic pho. It did its job! read more

I tried the combo pho and the green papaya salad to go.. Good part was packaging and portion size. That was all.. Everything was not authentic and super disappointing. Pho was decently flavored but nothing to write home about. Very black peppery and there was not a lot of meat with it. I would compare the broth to instant pho.However the meat balls tasted pretty good. Papaya salad made me shake my head so bad. It was not good at all, might as well just take it off the menu. Not made with a mortar and pestle. Not pounded like how it's supposed to be. They should at least give us a warning. I was so upset and took 1 bite and just stopped. It came with a fish sauce style where you pour on top.. already another red flag. As you can see the tomato's are still in tact. So disappointed read more

Good food and huge portions. Friendly staff. Try the green papaya salad and Edamame dumplings. They have items from various Asia Pac regions like China, Thai, Laos, Singapore... Vegetarians can substitute any protein with Tofu or vegetables. Try the Thai and Vietnamese coffees. read more

The Flying Monk is a place I've walked by hundreds of times in my Savannah days and have never dropped in. That changed this past Saturday. Pros: - Food is awesome. Flavorful and homey. - Wait staff is awesome as well. They have fun with their job and it's fun to see and be around. - Presentation. The food looked phenomenal (you eat with your eyes first after all.) - Food came out very fast. Cons: - Sitting elbow to elbow on BOTH sides of the table. It hurts, but I can't give The Flying Monk that 5 star rating. I believe eating is an intimate occasion. Not only do I love the food aspect of eating out, but also the experience. I enjoy talking with my wife, sharing our meals, being silly, and enjoying our company together. Unfortunately, when you're a foot (on both sides) from two separate parties you get lost with the intimacy in other people's talking/moving/phone calls/personal drama. I know, I know. More people in your restaurant means more money. More bodies equals more cash. For real though, take out two or three table areas and let people enjoy their food without getting elbowed with the person on either side of you. I don't want to hear other people converserations, I don't want to be touched by strangers accidentally, and heck - I don't even want to smell their food. I don't want my booth chair to shift when someone gets up either. Karen rant over - I got the drunken noodles and it was amazing. It tasted warm and even warmed your soul. I was even pleasantly surprised the cilantro and lime worked so well with the noodles. It had so many different flavors that all worked perfect together. My wife got beef pho and she enjoyed it a lot. I do recommend this spot...but PLEASE! Ask to sit outside. That will save the experience. read more

I wanted a break from Southern food while in town, and I was glad to see a few other options in the area, including The Flying Monk. It's more of a pan-Asian place that serves a variety of Southeast Asian cuisines, from Vietnamese to Cambodian to Thai. I opted for the beef pho, which came piping hot-- it took a long time for it to cool down and before I could even eat it! Sadly, broth was lacking in flavor, even after adding Sriracha to it. Otherwise, the rice noodles were fine and the beef was okay, albeit on the tough side. It wasn't bad pho, but I've definitely had better pho out there. As The Flying Monk caters more to the tourist crowd, I don't expect for it to be authentic in its dishes. However, for those non-Southern food cravings, it did the trick. read more

Absolutely excellent! I enjoyed the food here so much! I highly recommend the Iced Kiwi Green Tea for a refreshing drink. It was not too sweet and it was very hard not to chug the whole thing. For appetizer, the egg rolls were probably one of the best I've had. They were made with pork and they were very flavorful. As an entrée, I ordered the Nana Noodles and wow! They were delicious. My partner ordered the Tao Dumpling soup and he was also not disappointed. The service was great. The server was attentive and not overbearing. The food came out quick and tasted fresh. The overall experience was 10/10 and I couldn't recommend The Flying Monk enough. read more

My daughter goes to SCAD. This is a staple for us on every visit. Pho with beef is my go-to.

Omg!! I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant. Easily my favorite meal of our Savannah trip. It smells amazing like cinnamon and all the fresh spices you love with these traditional dishes. Our server Joanna was kind, prompt and offered great recommendations. Idk what is in the sauce they make for the pad Thai but it is worthy of sneaking to the fridge in the middle of the night to steal some! The place is small but cozy. We made reservations but they weren't needed on a rainy Sunday night! Worth the trip. read more

01/2025 3.5 Stars. Food was good! I tried the Pho combo and that was my 1st time having Pho. Pardon me if my assessment is off due to my lack of knowledge of the cuisine. The meat had absolutely no seasoning. My left overs were even more tasty as I used the spice rack so they were able to soak overnight. Server was not attentive. I had to call him over several times from the front door where employees gathered to chit chat. He was friendly. The space we sat in was very close so when the gentleman came to clear and clean the table next to us, he was not paying attention and sprayed me and prolly my food with cleaner. I didn't die after eating my leftovers, so. I would try them again. read more

We enjoyed our meals of fried bread, drunken noodles, and Singapore noodles with chicken. They were very tasty. I wish there were more noodles and less chicken in the Singapore dish. The ratio was off. We also had to ask for more powdered sugar for the fried bread. The service was okay. Our server was doing double duty coordinating the takeout and didn't come by for refills. The restaurant itself was tired looking. read more

Celiac folks--stay away. None of the staff (including the line cook) seemed to understand gluten or how seriously it needs to be handled. My wife has celiac, and when she ordered, I thought she was just modifying a dish, but what she got was dry and unappealing (they had served it without a sauce to make it GF). My dish was marked "GF," so I let her try a bite, only to find out later that "GF" items aren't necessarily prepared gluten free unless you specifically ask. At that point, she'd already been exposed. The staff member was polite but clearly saw "gluten free" as a preference, not a medical requirement. After seeing how upset we were, they didn't offer anything. This isn't a minor mistake. it's unsafe for anyone with celiac. read more

Chicken and rice (kaow man gai) listed as a Laos cuisine for $12.95 was well worth the price. The flavors of the sauce and how the rice is soaked into the broth all felt authentic to me. I only removed a star for a bit of dry chicken. There was a very long line for an early dinner time on a Sunday. However, the line moved fairly quickly. The indoors is cramped, but nothing too inconvenient. They were so busy and had to move quickly that I would say cleanliness could have been better, but nothing for me to run away from. I would still return to try another comforting dish. read more
