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.

The food was pretty good, with very large portions. I ordered shrimp with snow peas and cashews…read moreadded, and my sister got the chicken with snow peas. 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.

Amazing flavors and service! Pho soup is the best. Ginger chicken.!!…read more Great atmosphere

Passed by the Rice Monkeys while walking down the street in the 'Historic District" of Durango…read moreColorado. From the outside, saw a few people eating under a large covered patio shared used by multiple restaurants. Only saw a few people on the inside of this tiny restaurant.. Before decided to go in, was thinking, we are a long way from the ocean, looking at a tiny hole in the wall restaurant, serving sushi. What could possibly go wrong here.? Read the outstanding Yelp reviews and recall some of my best dining experiences have been st in the wall restaurants. Walked in and was quickly created. They have and benches and tables on one side and along table boor facing a window on the on the other side of the room. Menu was Asian Fusion and opted for the BBQ Pork with Rice and Fresh Vegetables. What a score. Huge portion and very tasty. Since I was eating with chop sticks we were there for a very long time. Saw many fresh dishes, happy customers and the place was packed . Lots of to go orders from locals as well. All great 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.

Wasn't sure what to expect, sushi in Colorado is hit or miss. I was highly recommended to try this…read moreplace. I went in open minded. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. I know it's the only sushi place around and so the reviews are a bit bloated. The ambiance reminds me of a Mexican restaurant in parts, and then a new age 2010 bar in the other parts. I ordered hot tea, very good. The first roll I ordered was a lemon salmon roll. Unfortunately, the waitress shared that it was refreshing: but it tasted like hand soap. Next roll we tried to order was a Las Vegas roll, to which the waitress didn't know what that was, nor did she have any recommendations. I like to order a standard California roll to test the chefs. Their California roll tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp for 2 days before sending to us. And, they have an upcharge if you want real crab. I then ordered a specialty roll called the 3x tuna which was supposed to be spicy. It didn't seem spicy as much as just kind of spice on top. Overall I think going to a gas station for sushi might have been a better option. Way too expensive for what it was.
