I got my butt severely kicked here. The super kind waitress warned me that medium level for the papaya salad was pretty spicy but I replied with an obnoxious “oh I’m Mexican”. After the first bite, my tongue, throat, and soul were ON FIRE. I could hear the Thai chile gods laughing at me. The waitress noticed and gave me cold coconut milk, which really helped, and advised me to take my time. I felt like she was an angel saving me from hell.
It was, at the same time, the best papaya salad I’ve tried so far. And it opened up my appetite because I devoured the Thai soup. I ordered the panang with duck and shrimp… it was exquisite! 🤌
I’m so glad I found this place and will definitely come back again, ready to learn another lesson.
Dropped in for lunch, super friendly hostess. Lunch special came with tofu soup, which I never would’ve ordered, but it was so good, glad to try it. Broth was super flavorful and the vegetables were fresh. Got a 4 out of 6 spicy level pad see ew with chicken - it was super good, and definitely spicy. Big portion, now I need a nap. Eat here.

This place is a staple of Denver for Thai food. Even in the pandemic you could see Door Dash, Postmates, Uber Eats orders lined up on tables to be picked up. I live in Houston, and every time I visit Denver I make it a point to stop here for a meal. It’s consistently good.
We ordered the Monkey Mix that had a good mix of all the appetizers available including crab rangoon, spring rolls, and Thai egg rolls. Everything was perfectly crispy with flavorful sauces to accompany the appetizer.
We also ordered the 24 oz. tom kha with chicken. There are a lot of veggies in this and they could be cut smaller. The coconut soup is rich and maybe a little sweeter than some other places, but completely addicting. The food comes out really quickly here and you can tell it’s a family-owned restaurant. This is the kind of place that leaves you alone to enjoy your food in peace. They’ll refill your water, drinks, and check on you but you’re allowed to listen to the Thai music playing and savor the food.
There’s also a clean, gender neutral, and ADA accesible bathroom.
This is my go to place in Denver for amazing Thai food. The restaurant has more of a simplistic atmosphere but the staff here are so friendly and the service is lightning quick. Everything I've tried is very flavorful and the portions sizes are great for the price.
Great Thai food that feels very authentic. It's a smaller shop with a very simple but friendly feel. Staff was great!
Great place. Dropped by to grab some food for me and some co-workers. They had lots of different foods and explained anything we wanted to know about it. We all ended up with something we found delicious.
Will go again!
Really really good curry, I've tried several places but this will be my new go-to Thai restaurant on Broadway! Very reasonably priced curries ($12 each for dinner) that come as nice big colorful bowls with a pile of rice, I would definitely recommend trying the Thai Monkey Club! The accolades from Denver Westword are very accurate, the bowls packed some heat (even at medium level, j was sweating a little) but you still get an overwhelming flavor sensation of spices, peanut, coconut, and of course all the veggies packed in it. If you aren't one for heat order the curry on the milder side and you'll just get all the overwhelming flavor sensations with less heat. Can't go wrong with the curry here!
I was recently introduced to Thai Monkey and it has quickly become one of my favorite Thai restaurants in town. My go to dish is the pad thai (rice noodles with egg, green onion, cabbage, carrot, peanut, bean sprouts, & choice of protein - which I normally get chicken or shrimp). I've also tried the see ew noodles (wide rice noodles with egg, Chinese broccoli, broccoli, & choice of protein), the spring rolls (rice paper, sprout, iceberg lettuce, carrots, mint, & shrimp), and the steamed dumplings (chicken, carrot, chestnut, onion, & cilantro).
Everything I've ever ordered from here is delicious and comes in a large portion. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of great Thai food that won't break the bank. Looking forward to eating here more often soon!
GF options are called out on the menu! I had the red curry duck and my friend had the masaman curry chicken. Both had great flavor and I absolutely love spicy food, but the level 2 spice made my stomach hurt (I usually order level 3 or 4 at other Thai places). Service was quick, kind and attentive but there was no air conditioning and no air flow in the dining room. I would absolutely order from here again for takeout.
The curry!! Omg. The curry!! Small and quaint little restaurant on the baker strip but they have the most authentic curry I’ve ever had in my Denver life! Bonus tip: get the lunch special!!
