Spice Monkey Restaurant & Bar

Came here with hubby on a Thursday night for Oakland Comedy series! We were seated upstairs and had 2 different IPAs and monkey fingers. Efficient and fast service, good finger food and beer. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms. Lovely decor downstairs with lots of tiles and a mini fountain inside - WOW! Definitely want to come back!

It's located in the best building in Oakland with one of my favorite murals. The food was very flavorful and I'd order everything I had again (pork belly Asian tacos, cornmeal chicken fingers and spicy mint tea). The girl who helped me did not seem demonic despite her black monochromatic tattered clothing and Satanic Feminist t-shirt.

We originally went here because we had a brunch coupon and we enjoyed our meal. We decided we wanted to come back for dinner sometime. My spouse ended up having my surprise birthday party here. I had a great time. The staff is very nice and friendly and the food was great too! We will be going back to try their pulled pork sandwich.

Good service from wonderful folks. It's been a minute since I went by but, as I recall, I found it difficult to find something on the menu that seemed appetizing. Nothing bad but nothing appealing to my taste (sorry I can't be more specific.) I also recall having dinner with three friends and the four of us not being able to hear one another because of the echo. The tiles are lovely but they make acoustics incompatible with hearing.

Went for a comedy show and dinner. The food was really good, and the service great. The prices were very reasonable. We were there for a little over 2 hours. We ate first, then watched the show. Great comedians, super funny. The only reason that they didn't get 5 stars was the heat. It was SO HOT!!! Very uncomfortable, and almost ruined the show, as we couldn't wait to get out of there.

Great selection of Asian fusion type dishes at a standard lunch price. I came here with 6 coworkers at lunch on a Friday and they were able to seat us at a spacious and comfortable table in their upstairs area. Service was good, although they brought out 5 dishes at once and then waited about 5 minutes before bringing the last 2 dishes so we were kind of all sitting around waiting which is never good. I ordered the chicken wings with a citrus rub and the Webster St Asada skewer- both were delicious and I didn’t leave anything on my plate! I will want to come back here again with my partner.
