Description

Nestled in a cozy corner of Durango, this hidden gem offers a mix of experiences that leave diners divided. While many rave about the fantastic food and impeccable service—highlighting standout dishes like the Lava Roll and flavorful appetizers—others express disappointment over recent ownership changes affecting food quality and service efficiency. The atmosphere is charming, complemented by talented live entertainment, but some visitors find the cramped space and rising prices less appealing. Despite varied feedback, the restaurant remains a beloved spot for those who appreciate great food and a friendly vibe, ensuring it continues to attract loyal patrons.

Rice Monkey is mine and my husbands favorite restaurant! The sushi is some of the best I’ve ever ate, and I have tried sushi from many places between here and California. The volcano and lime twist are two of my favorites, but all of the rolls are excellent. I like the small dining atmosphere. We tried Pop Sushi at one point, but weren’t so impressed. Rice Monkeys is on point! Service: Dine in
