We were driving through Durango and wanted some Asian food. We saw Rice Monkey and stopped for…read morelunch. The place is a small rectangular restaurant with limited seating inside but with outdoor seating. It opens at 11 and customers seem to frequent at the open. Menus seems to be mixed Asian from sushi rolls to rice bowls to pho and vermicelli bowls. Pho was ok but they don't give the green shoots as the sides like normal pho shops do. Their Saigon noodles is pretty good and enjoyed it. Their grilled chicken vermicelli noodle is more a lettuce with grilled chicken with very limited noodle. Basically if you want noodle goto a noodle shop. I'm rating this based on only what we ate. I'm not sure how their sushi is as we didn't have any.

The server seemed perplexed by my request to add the cashews but eventually managed to find a way to accommodate the request. The restaurant is clean and generally quiet but the server decided to drag all of the chairs around--every last one of them--in order to clean under the tables during dinner time.

The place had a bit of hectic ambiance (very busy for the amount of workers in there) but everything we tried was so yummy with large portions for the price. I definitely recommend take out from here.

This place isn't a bad lunch spot, if you like the sort of cuisine they serve - salads, quinoa…read morebowls, house kombucha and a variety of other healthy options. I think the prices are fair, and the portions are on the large side. The ambience is cool, and the service is very fast. It wasn't crowded during my visits, but even with a line, you'll get your food quickly. There are lots of vegan and veggie options. Stuff for the kids too. Our food was ok. We both ordered off the menu, rather than making our own salad / bowl. I had the Vietnamese bowl - chicken, quinoa, cabbage, cucumber and carrots, with a vaguely Asian dressing. My fiancé had the Caesar salad with chicken, and while it bore little resemblance to a Caesar salad, he enjoyed it. I can recommend this place for a quick and healthy lunch, but look over the menu, and consider building your own. Happy travels! Seatbelts!

My husband likes making his own bowl and my kids love the chili pie (tortilla chips with chili on top). It is all very good! They also have kombucha on tap, which we all love.

Ok. Sushi in Durango CO could almost be an oxymoron.

When you walk into the restaurant it's mostly full of happy people. It doesn't look like a traditional sushi restaurant more like a hybrid western bar with a full western bar, an additional sushi bar service and tables. All with a sushi type menu. Thankfully no hamburgers or chicken wings served. They do a pretty good job on the rolls, didn't try the hamachi. Had some apps- good. Not lights out but good and think a "3" is pretty good rating. Think: you go into a Mexican restaurant and it turns out to be TexMex /Gringo but you still like it. 3.

(Ask if you want the peanut sauce on the side). my wife had pineapple fried rice. she asked for extra vegetables and was not disappointed. I had the masamann curry dish, excellent again. Service was excellent. Someone reviewed it as the best Thai in Colorado, I have no reason to argue the point.

Ok. I hate saying bad things about a restaurant some have recommended but here goes…read more First-the good. I was ordering take out in person and they were lightening fast. Also keep in mind this was late afternoon on a Friday. Unfortunately fast may be part of the problem. I ordered curry-it was thin, one dimensional with some chicken and a few pepper slices. Some other mushy stuff I didn't recognize. It took all the rice they gave me to make it palatable. Wife had Pad Thai. Medium heat was too hot for her-she thought it was average. We also ordered Crab Rangoon. 11 bucks for 4 soggy pieces. Total bill with up charge for using credit-3%. Plus 15% tip for handing me the bag-$60 bucks! Crazy! It wound be different if the food was excellent. I think it was pre-made-getting ready for a busy Friday. That's why it was soggy and quick. You'd be better off making curry from a bottle from the store. Sorry-for 60 bucks I expected much more-for take out! We will not be back.

What a lovely place to go for not only brunch but much more. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and…read moreinviting. Brunch options are the most well known but I think they'd be good for other meal times too. I personally got the Liege Belgian waffle with strawberries, banana, and whip cream and I thought it was absolutely amazing. The pearl sugar, the textures, and flavors! One of my favorite waffles I've ever had. I will be thinking about this whenever I crave a waffle in the future. Just the right amount of sweetness and crunch! My friend got the Hash Smash bowl. I got to taste a small bite and I found the aioli sauce to be delicious. Speaking of sauces, they have hot sauce buckets with a bunch of different ones to try. I found that very nice that they offer that and let people try a bunch of sauces they otherwise might not have had that chance to try otherwise. Also very interesting and unexpected that they happen to have boba drinks in this part of town. FYI though, their boba isn't soaked in syrup so it's bland if your drink isn't quite sugar heavy enough itself. Highly recommend the restaurant look into that and soak their bobas to take the drinks to the next level. Lastly, their menu seems to change quite often and the pics on yelp don't reflect the current menu anymore. You may see dishes/drinks missing or on there that you didn't expect.

The wait for a table was about 30 minutes, but we spent the time walking around the area, so it went by quickly. Once seated, we found ourselves in a tiny dining room and bar with walls covered in license plates from different states. We turned it into a fun little "I Spy" game while waiting for our food. We started with the Chips and Salsa Fresca, which was fresh and delicious. For our main meal, we ordered tacos -- the #1 El Diablo, #5 Esteban Special, and #6 Fish Tacos. The chipotle sauce on the El Diablo was phenomenal, and the grilled fish in the fish tacos was some of the tastiest I've had. The staff was fantastic as well. My daughter ordered the Chips w/ Cheese (nachos) from the kids' menu and unfortunately didn't like them at all. When we mentioned it to our server, she genuinely cared and quickly made things right by removing the item from our bill. Next time I'm in Pagosa, I'll definitely be coming back to this gem of a place.
