    Came by on a Sunday to try their rolls since they are half off then. Huge restaurant with lots of seating and good for a date. Service was friendly. We ordered the rainbow roll, ba ba bu, salmon lover (forgot the name), and big tempura (also forgot the exact name). Rolls were not amazing and not bad either. Quite westernized and good as an intro to sushi for those not familiar. Likely won't return but glad we got to try it!

    We came here for a Father's Day dinner because they offer a pre made menu and everything seemed to be going great initially. We ordered our cocktails and they came out normal time. We were also the only ones in the restaurant at 5pm. We ordered two baby high chairs and mentioned it in the ressy as well. One of the severs took one of the chairs away thinking we weren't using it and never asked before they took it, so now we had to feed one of the babies on our lap. We also requested if they could find another one and they only have 2 high chairs and one booster. Why does this well known restaurant only have 1 booster and 2 high chairs. Anyways, that's the least of the unfortunate events that occurred during this time. We had two servers simultaneously coming to take orders and then we addressed this with the one server that took the main dinner order; he comes around and says I'm not your server, meanwhile, the main lady that is working the floor said that they are all helping each other. We ordered our apps right away and they came out in time and as soon as we wanted to place our main course we couldn't find any of the servers. We had to wait and wait and wait until someone listened to us and finally came out to take our order. The table across from us there were 14 people being served back to back with their orders. None of them had to call the severs and were being served instantly. I am not here to make any allegations on how they are treating their customers but we were being constantly ignored and dismissed. The main lady keeps saying we are sorry and came back to confirm our order because the two tickets we had before apparently she wanted to confirm with while another server said they only had one ticket for us. We have 4 little ones and cannot imagine if we waited to feed them here how hangryyyy they would have been. We are currently waiting 2 hours for our three sushi rolls. This is a live review because clearly I have all the time in the world to write this while I wait for my sushi. The food is good, nothing against it but the SERVICE, god damn the service is a minus 0. It's so bad when you enter the restaurant at 5pm for your reservation and do not get your food until 7:30. We asked for the WiFi for the kids iPad since they have been waiting for so long and the lady did not want to give us the WiFi. You'd think she would understand given how long we have been waiting for. The only response we kept getting is we are sorry, we are sorry. We also wanted to order another round of drinks and now did not because our food is taking a forever to come out and we are honestly just trying to leave at this point. When we received one of the rolls, we got two of the same ones and the rest of the 4 rolls were "lost in translation" apparently cause the server that dropped off an extra roll didn't know that it was suppose to go to the table across from us and then said " you've got ur order right? This whole experience was a joke honestly, I cannot fathom all of the mishaps that occurred and do not know how they operate and are still open. Towards the end, one of the servers said come again and we said probably not.... The server goes OK thank you. This just shows they do not value their customers and the type of experience you have.

    What a nice little upscale sushi bar! I was instantly blown away by the posh and sleek interior, and the hostess was so sweet as we were instantly sat down. The candlelit lighting was beautiful and accentuated by the decor and bar lights inside the restaurant. I ordered the Ba Ba Bu roll (which was half off during happy hour!) and the 5 Sashimi platter (15 pieces in total, 3 of each). Fish was fresh and delicious, melting in my mouth basically. The Ba Ba Bu roll had a delightfully bright note with the lemon! Overall, such a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

    My best friend and I randomly chose monkey 68 on a Friday night when we couldn't decide what to eat (and everywhere else needed reservations at 7:30). We did call ahead but didn't make reservations. It was right near downtown Alpharetta, but tucked away a few blocks ahead with its own parking lot. It was pretty crowded (again peak time on a Friday night) but we were sat at a high top without any reservations. We ordered two rolls (Ba ba bu and one whose name I forgot) and the bang bang shrimp. If I could eat that bang bang shrimp has the only meal for the rest of my life, I would.

    I'm a huge fan of Chirori so I was excited to try Chef Jackie's new restaurant, Monkey 68 Kitchen & Bar in Alpharetta. Apparently, there's a Monkey 68 in Roswell as well so don't make the same mistake I did & go to the right location lmao. I visited last night, which happened to be Alpharetta Restaurant Week & tried their tasting menu. OMG, everything was soooo goood & I left feeling full & satisfied. My fav new drink is the Matcha Highball, Japanese Whiskey & Matcha is a match made in heaven!! The Iheartdogs cocktail is very refreshing as well!! Do yourself a favor & come check it out (: you def won't be disappointed! Thank you Chef Jackie, Misty & Daniel for your hospitality & impeccable service. I've always had a great experience with Chef Jackie & his team. Food, service & ambiance always on point! Can't wait to come back to try their other menus as well! ^^

    Stopped in because I had sushi on my mind all week. This place had great decor and was very cute. Would be a great place for a date or girls night out. It was not packed at all but the service was a little slow. However, my server was very polite and attentive. The ramen bowl was really good. The sushi was okay.

    Omakase

    This is definitely a hidden gem. The ambiance is surprisingly nice. A must try omakase experience that is to die for. I went for double the omakase experience and instead of one choice I got both choices. It's absolutely a restaurant you must try in Alpharetta. Allen and Jess were very knowledge and kept me entertained the whole time I was there.

    Wow, what an unbelievable afternoon of a culinary delight. I finally got an opportunity to go see my favorite sushi chef, chef Jackie Chang, at his new sushi restaurant Monkey 68 Kitchen And Bar in Alpharetta along with my mom, Ron, Chef Aaron Phillips of Lazy Betty and his lovely wife Lai. Chef Jackie's Omakase course was bar none the best I have ever had; Chef Aaron even joked that Chef Jackie was working towards a Michelin star and that would not be an understatement. Thank you, Chef Jackie, and Misty for your incredible hospitality and for accommodating my eating time window and opening an hour earlier than the usual business hours. Cannot wait for our next get together to explore more exotic culinary concoctions.

    Brand new management and went to the soft opening today. Chef Jackie has proven himself as a savior of restaurants because the service and food quality we got tonight was above superb. Shoutout to Swan and Ethan who took so much care of us tonight! The music and the finishes of the restaurant was such a vibe. When dining here you feel like you are part of the upper echelon without breaking the bank. The parking is easy just make sure you enter from the front entrance as there is a furniture store entrance that can get confusing. Overall amazing experience. DRINKS WERE SOME OF THE BEST IVE HAD! They have zodiac drinks, so my goal is to try the entire calendar!

    TLDR ; food was not bad, experience was facepalm ‍ It had been a few months since we've been to monkey 68, but we heard it was under new management so we decided to give it a try. I understand new restaurants go through growing pains but what we experienced was pretty rough. We were sat promptly on a Saturday night but we were only given 1 menu for 3 people to share. The drinks were lacking, the same cocktail menu as the previous owner, but far less tasty, and weak. The food came out extremely slowly, the first orders showed up about 42 minutes after we placed our order. I timed it . Some of our food didn't show up so we had to ask another waiter to check on it, and 20 minutes later the rest of our food arrived. Small restaurant but it seemed extremely overbooked and understaffed. I hate to leave bad reviews but the experience we had was not pleasant. The food was definitely not bad, but the service left much to be desired

    Double Decker Roll
    Bob J.

    Very good! Our waiter was amazing and gave us amazing service! The ambiance is really cool at this location, and it shockingly was very empty on a Saturday night. All of the food was amazing. We loved the Bang Bang Shrimp as well as the a Double Decker roll.

The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. The food overall was tasty, flavorful, and served in generous portions. However, the menu situation was a major hassle. It's essentially a thick book with a separate price sheet, meaning you have to cross-reference dish codes just to see prices. To make matters worse, there were only two price sheets for 15 people. If they keep this system, every menu needs its own attached price sheet. As for the dishes, most were good, but the coconut rice fell flat--it was far too bland with almost no coconut flavor compared to versions I've had elsewhere. Service started strong with a seamless check-in and timely seating, but the ending was frustrating. Despite calling weeks in advance to confirm individual checks, staff insisted at the end of the meal that they could only split the bill five ways. After insisting on our original agreement, we all had to stand in a long line to check out individually at the register because they couldn't bring separate itemized bills to our table.

Tucked in a small plaza sandwiched between a orthodontists office and a salon is this little tiny joint off Webb Bridge road off Kimball Bridge in Alpharetta. So when you walk into the place, it's got the vibe of a night market where you're sitting in the street of Hong Kong or Beijing eating local fare. The decor reflects that the art of the place gives it that night market feeling. There isn't much in terms of service as it's a small operation but that's all you really need is a front of house greeter/host and someone to deliver the food and someone to cook it and Haochi has it! Now let's talk food... I had gotten their char sui pork bao (they named it chashu like the Japanese pork used in Tonkatsu ramen), Taiwanese fried chicken, and the HongKong wonton noodle soup... and let me tell you! It's all great! The Taiwanese fried chicken is crispy yet the chicken is so juicy and flavorful. Seasoned beautifully with a hint of that Chinese 5 spice in the batter recipe and served popcorn style with a sweet and sour dipping sauce makes for a very good starter The bao bun is light. Not much of a fan of the char sui pork as it was cut bologne thin yet held almost no flavor and the cucumber used was a bit off putting so wasn't a fan of the bao, at least not the chashu version. The HongKong wonton Noodle soup is amazing!!! The broth was savory, rich, yet seeing that the base of the broth is wonton soup broth, it was also light and super clean and deeply flavorful. Maybe it's the MSG but that's an Asian staple seasoning. They did give large chunks of roast pork and about 4 shumai dumplings in the broth. The noodles were thin and cooked to perfection. What set this right even more so was the addition of chili oil. Bummed they didn't have Chinese black vinegar but I think that's just me being snobby. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experience at Haochi and it's definitely fusion but not in the way that it satisfies the western taste as there is still a prominent nod to the Chinese and South East Asian flavors. Worth hitting up for a lunch spot or a hang with friends.
