    The Vietnamese food that we got from this restaurant was legit. The Pork Summer Rolls tasted fantastic. The Rice Noodle Soups (Beef Pho and Saigon Noodles) were hearty and well-balanced, with the only caveat being tough beef. Large portions overall. Our server Lawrence was very attentive and a delight to talk with. Definitely recommend!

    Empty plate because they forgot our order

    They literally forgot we were there. Waiter said they were feuding with the kitchen but the kitchen got everyone else's food out. We waited an hour for our food and watched several to go orders walk out and new tables come in and get food. Very disappointing considering they only have 4 tables

    Rice Monkeys.  Cozy, small inside.

    August 26, 2023. Saturday. 2:30 PM. Every time my wife and I have visited Durango, Rice Monkeys has been closed. The reviews and the signage piqued our interest but walking by on weekends, the place was shuttered down. Hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 11 AM - 3 PM lunch and dinner 5 PM - 8:30 PM. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays. However, on this Saturday, it was open. The rain poured down, and they were about to close in 30 minutes. However, the sushi chef let me order a to-go, Funky Monkey roll ($18). This place had a cozy and tight sitting room, and I stood in the middle, waiting out of the rain. Funky monkey roll featured shrimp, tempura flakes, avocado, spicy aioli, cream cheese, topped with yellowfin tuna, and sirimi crab. Sorry, no picture of this roll. They placed sweet soy sauce in a dish on the side. Inside the to-go bag were two sets of chopsticks, napkins, wasabi, a healthy amount of fresh ginger and the aforementioned soy sauce. Service from the waitress and sushi chef was great, because they could have shut down orders. A group of three arrived after me and he took care of them too. He finished my order in about 7 minutes. We ate the roll in the parking lot of Ska Brewing. We could tell it had fresh ingredients and he added lots of avocado. I liked the roll without the sweet soy sauce, as it was cloyingly sweet. Wish we had sampled other rolls, but maybe next time.

    Fantastic little spot for high quality rolls. Looking for a spot with some high quality rolls with tons of flavor? This is a great spot to check out. I ordered the lickity-split and I wish I could have ordered more. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and again very flavorful. My only regret was coming with family members who claim they like sushi but definitely only meant the like california rolls. They ordered a california roll and a shrimp tempura roll. We came on a Wednesday around 1:00 PM after a soak at the Durango Hot Springs (also highly recommend). We were sat immediately inside where there are only about three tables but there are more outside. I think those outdoor seats are a little higher demand because the weather was perfect.

    This place is tiny and there is additional sitting outside. The food was amazing. The presentation was like that of a fancier restaurant and the taste combination was amazing. I was blown away by the taste combo of the Tiradito. The service was pretty quick considering how busy they are. I highly recommend Rice Monkey, just be prepared that you might have to wait.

    The funky monkey roll is delicious... the dining area is very small. Thus I opt for takeout...

    Amazing food, but the seating is tight and makes you feel rushed to leave your table. Unreal spring rolls!
