The Drunken Monkey (Shoreditch)

• Perhaps the best part is that it has something different to offer you depending on the hour at which you visit
• I was here on Saturday night with friends as an inbetween stopover post drinks at home and the Queen of Hoxton
• The setting and buzz was entirely different
• The drunken monkey is a pretty cool place to go for food and drinks
• The only difference here being that there is a restaurant as well on the side
• A must go if you are in the shore ditch area on a Friday I think
• Either way you are going to love it
• Always hopping and buzzing with a crowd full of conversation
• Drunken Monkey is a popular place to pop in after work for a light snack (or a big one) and chat with friends
• I particularly enjoyed the sticky rice parcels with pork and chicken
• The Drunken Monkey is right next to my flat
• Would definitely recommend to everyone who is in the area
• Drunken monkey is a place where you can have some nice noodles or dim sum
• The atmosphere is buzzing and it's recommended to book a table in advance otherwise you have to wait a while
• The good house music and great cocktails made the night and I definitely want to go back there for the vibe which is hard to get in different places
• Yes The Drunken Monkey (Shoreditch) is as cool as it sounds
• I'll usually just order a few dim sum dishes and then mix and match with my friends
• The steamed dumplings are all very good and the pak choi is excellent
• The Drunken Monkey is regularly ranked as one of the best eateries in Shoreditch
• The food itself is pretty decent and reasonable
• The duck salad as well as the dim sum ( for which the restaurant is famous) is very good
• The ambience combined with some great dishes make the Drunken Monkey a great spot for some casual dinner
• After visiting the Drunken Monkey with a buddy of mine
• I did feel that there was not much space for the food on our table due to its size
• Our party of 5 popped in after work on a Wednesday night to find the place filled to the brim with hip young things catching up on each other's work worries or weekend plans
• One of our favourites was the broccoli&hellip
• Other highlights for me were the steamed goods sui mai and king prawn dumplings are my favourite dim sum dishes
• I was slightly disappointed with the roast duck hot pot
• The duck lacked flavour and once deboned was scattered haphazardly across the rice
• My favorite item on the menu is the prawn and chive dumplings
• Good thing I made a reservation as the place was brimming with folks all set to bring on the weekend
• Chive dumplings these were pretty bland tasting and we had to dunk them in the sweet chili sauce for some flavor to come through
• We also called for the steamed bbq roast pork buns (which were quite nice)
• A portion of the beef satay (this was really good and very flavorful)
• The quantity of the plates is quite less and the prices aren't high either
• So we went ahead and ordered more starters duck spring rolls which were quite nice with the dark dipping sauce that came with it
• The squid was juicy and the batter around it was crispy very happy with this one
• The service is quick if you are seated at a table from where its easy to wave your arm and get the staff's attention
• Great venue with happy hour drinks 5 7 and good food at good
• While the food is reasonable
• I went for a dinner with my girlfriend last week
• We decided to risk just turning up and (un)fortunately there was one available
• The standard of these was actually reasonable
• On ordering our second cocktail we were provided with a slightly more upbeat waitress
• All the waitresses looked at her with no one coming over to help despite at least 3 of them seeing
• With the manager not evening coming over to apologise with delivery of the bill then had the cheek to put service on top with no apology
• The way they dealt with this situation demonstrates their clear ineptitude for service
• The place was all out of dumplings and there are only a few vegetarian options
• I was slightly disappointed with what they served
• The portion size was great but the food was rather bland and for the price that we were paying it seemed rather disappointing
• There was hardly a crowd and once we were done with dinner they quickly got us our cheque as they wanted to shut (this is even though it wasn't closing time exactly)
• I have eaten authentic (almost) Chinese food and the different versions of Chinese food that is done back here in India but this didn't quite live up to the experience
• The service has significantly deteriorated (most waiting staff don't even speak english and can't manage to provide service when the place is fairly empty)
• Usually as a veggie I find that I often struggle to find a good menu for Chinese food with enough options but that was definitely not the case at Drunken Monkey
• In my opinion are a great way for you to explore a little bit of all of the great options The Drunken Monkey (Shoreditch) has to offer
• Also The Drunken Monkey (Shoreditch) has happy hour between 5 7 with cocktails priced at just £
• Ideal place to catch up with friends in a group
• Had a roasted duck noodle soup and it was quite enjoyable
• The noodles were tasty and the broth was not too oily
• The sim sums we had (the king prawn ones) were good as well but I think I have had better
• Honey smoked chicken salad is a must try
