Can we say delicious? Yes we can. You’ll pay too dollar though. It’s a bit on the pricy side. 3 rolls for $71.
The only gripe I have is the same as many others….
I stopped by for a to-go order for myself and they automatically charged me an 18% gratuity.
I’m charged an extra $10 bucks for not eating there. Not cool! Not cool at all!

Ok…the food. We loved the sushi, the flavors were bright and fresh and the temperature was perfect, it was a whole experience in my mouth. I’m particularly fond of a temperature gradient when it comes to sushi, so one of the rolls we had was a tempura style roll, it was warm and perfectly crispy on the outside but the innards and fish were still very cold…it was awesome, I love that!! This might seem a weird compliment but the Miso soup was also way above your standard sushi joint miso soup, it was much more rich and hearty…I’m actually still thinking about it. Will definitely come back on our next trip!

Nice atmosphere, would be great for a date! The rolls are yummy, less sauce than most sushi restaurants, a bit more traditional in that sense but unique with some of their options. Rolls have a cleaner, healthier feel, plus tasty!

I’ve only had good meals here. I highly recommend the sake toro, and for a more budget option the rice bowls are a great value and quality.
Beautiful wood interior and in the summer you can pick lavender nearby.

The first time we went here we left because the server was rude and took her almost 40 minutes to get to us even though there was almost no one around. We have since eaten here twice because some friends convinced us to try it one more time. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good server sometimes you don’t. But I will say the food is amazing. Not just for being in Truckee. But the sushi taste surprisingly fresh. So I would recommend coming here as long as you know what to expect and your not pressed for time.

We were a party of 8, and we did get seated right away when we walked it, amazingly enough. It was busy inside and outside. Half our party was the dumplings/noodle dish etc vs the other half were sushi diehards.
Many reviews were all over the place, but we had a great waitperson. She knew exactly what each person ordered even when we forgot! A very extensive menu overall. The sushi was very good. The other dishes were delicious as well. The sushi took longer to come out, but it was worth the wait. They have quite the sake list, which I haven't seen on the East coast in many places. By the glass, carafe or by the bottle. Both the sakes we tried were served cold. If you want hot sake, ask the server about choices.
Definitely would go again!

Great sushi. Great service. Great music. Lively atmosphere. Cute little outdoor plaza seating area nearby under the trees for when you’re waiting or after you’re done. I come here every now and then from out of town. Usually a little noisy but as long as that doesn’t bother you it’s fantastic.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Drunken Monkey Restaurant in Truckee, California. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of energy in the restaurant as it was quite busy. The staff was incredibly attentive and efficient, and the food came out hot and full of flavor. While it may not be the cheapest option in town, it is definitely worth visiting. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the experience, and I highly recommend the Drunken Monkey Restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Truckee.

We had Savannah as our server and she was amazing!! She offered things not listed on the menu and was very attentive enough she had many tables. We had the spicy tuna roll and dreamy monkey roll, spicy edamame, calamari, seaweed salad & green tea ice cream. Our favorite was the dreamy monkey roll, the fried calamari & ice cream! Sushi was very fresh too. Thank you so much Savannah, we will be back!

Drunken Monkey was amazing! The presentation of the food was unbelievable, so many colors! I had the Ramen, delicious. We also ordered edamame with garlic spices on it for the table and it was a major hit. The service was a little slow, but the overall experience made it completely worth it. Inside and outside seating. Will be visiting again!
