It's really close to the train stop; we came over from Greenwich Village and didn't have to walk far at all. There's a large, cavernous, dimly-lit bar space with pool tables on the 1st floor, with a long bar that stretches the length of the room, and the 2nd floor is a punk-rock-esque live music space with a separate bar (not open that night). So it's huge! We paid to see the show, but these were the cheapest drinks we had in NY. I bought more than one round for our group of friends and was shocked to get a tab that was less than $40. We had a great time here with the friendliest mosh pit there ever was, cheap and stiff drinks, and great music.

Tacos are also very tasty. The shawarma is flavorful but was a little dry (and wish the portions were a bit bigger). Overall it's probably a 3.7-3.8 rating, so will round up to 4. Worth trying if you've never been, good local spot. People who work there were nice too.

Immediately upon entering, one of the servers said it was standing room only by the door or by the stage. That was not a problem, but then she immediately proceeded to question our ability to provide patronage, asking if we had a card to validate us occupying the space. The vibe was off. After explaining to the owner/singer that we felt unwelcomed upon entering his establishment he said "right on" and it's busy on Saturdays. Long story short: music was a vibe, but customer service was severely lacking, and presumptuous.

I think it was just a cheeser pepperoni back then, but it was definitely good. Fast forward to now, before my train left, my sister want to bring me here for a meal and we dined in. Pizza was the move, and at first I was indecisive about which one I wanted. But then our waitress mentioned the special for the day and I got it. It had chilis, peppers, spring onions and much more... And with the flavor of that crust, anything could go on the pizza and taste great. Unfortunately because of the long train ride, we were somewhat rushing, but it all turned out wonderfully. I would love to come back when I have more time to fully enjoy everything. The drinks look nice too.

Where would we be without chili oil? Nowhere is the answer…read more If you like thin crust pizza, would definitely recommend this place. We really enjoyed our Pie's, the chili oil and would come back again. The server was kind enough to offer what turned out to be an excellent wine selection. This place is another example of how people find ways to maximize small spaces in NYC so I would definitely recommend snagging a seat at a table. The bar seating looked to be quite crowded and busy.

I always knew Kfar was here and a good backup, so happy we finally "had the chance" to try it. We got several of their mezze - we loved it all, my personal favorites were the "Baklava" (kind of like a version of Halloumi saganaki?) and the kibbe nayah. After 4 apps, 4 of us split the "grilled meats for 2", and in total it was about the perfect amount of food. The vibe is very cool and trendy, the service was fantastic, and food was every bit as good as Laser Wolf. This place deserves to be a destination!

The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

It was perfect to pair with the food we were eating. I would highly recommend ordering the pasta, the Japanese tacos, and the tuna crispy rice!

First, the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful hosts you could hope to meet. You can feel how much they care about their community the moment you walk in. They've also made real efforts to make the space accessible for different bodies, which is something that far too few restaurants consider. That level of intention and hospitality truly stands out. And then there's the food -- absolutely phenomenal. Every dish feels intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Standouts for me: Shrimp Toast - the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, rich, and balanced. Duck - deeply flavorful and cooked to perfection. Ribs - tender, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Char Siu - sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Eggplant - unbelievably delicious and a must-order. Monkey King is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels welcoming and thoughtful. Highly recommend supporting this gem.

Even the bathroom was impressively nice, which always says a lot about a restaurant's attention to detail. The food and drinks were on point. The crab fried rice, fried shrimp toast, rib lamb were all flavorful and well-prepared. One standout for me was the spring rolls--they were so good, crispy and packed with flavor. The drinks were also great, making the overall dining experience even better. Between the great food, nice atmosphere, and convenient location, it's definitely a place I'd go back to again. Alexa greeted us and took our order she's amazing! If you're planning a date night or a nice dinner out, Monkey King is a solid choice.
