It’s ok , food really funny , not tasty and bad flavoury .. if u looking for good food this place must be avoid
I've been here so many times and I absolutely love the food! Will definitely come back again soon
Food: 8/10 The standout dish of the evening was the Ox tongue with beef fat, chives, and lime. Cooked using Monkey's Corner's signature water bath technique, the ox tongue was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The Wagyu with onion sauce, soft eggs, and rice was also delicious, though using onsen eggs instead could elevate the dish even further. The Spicy trout belly tartare lacked texture and the flavor of the fish was overpowered by spice. The Scrambled egg with kewpie and furikake on rice was simple and homey, but could use some refinement. Ambience: 6/10 The small restaurant, located on a corner as the name suggests, offers cozy outdoor seating with a view of passersby. The use of exposed brick, plants, and heaters creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, though the lack of privacy may be a concern for some diners, especially during these times of Covid-19.
When you visit this restaurant, be sure to try the crack bowl and the chili crab noodles! Both dishes were bursting with flavor and were clear standouts. The trout bowl and ox tongue were also tasty, but in hindsight, I should have just gotten extra helpings of the crack bowl and crab noodles. The service is fast and friendly, and while the portions are small and prices are on the higher side, it's definitely worth a visit at least once.
