Monkey King At the Brewery

Tasty and affordable! I'd recommend getting the fried wings and adding on the garlic noodles to make it a full meal. You have the choice of bone-in or boneless wings.They have a large assortment of wing flavors. I played it safe and ordered the salt and pepper wings (with fries) and added on the garlic noodles. The salt and pepper wings were similar to what you would get at a chinese takeout spot so even though it's tasty, I'd recommend trying something new. The person at the counter recommended THIS and THAT. The Hanoi flavored wings also look unique. Next time I'll probably switch it up and also try adding on the tator tots or opting for fried rice.Service was prompt despite fairly busy on a Friday night and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. I'll be back!

Ordered takeout and was extremely disappointed. I ordered wings - lemon pepper flavored and added a side of fries and a side of ranch. Wings were crispy but it was extremely salty. It tasted like it was drenched in salt. The fries were limp and undercooked. These fries probably were sitting out for awhile. The ranch was additional cost and it was the most watered down ranch I ever tasted. I could have bought a bottle or ranch at Safeway and it would have been better. Ambiance inside is clean and had an ice cream/gelato area. Service is quick. Upon arrival my order was ready.

Eh. The food wasn't impressive but the atmosphere is clutch. I haven't been to the OG location in years. Last I remember the chicken and fries were delicious. Going off of memory, the food doesn't taste the same.The place wasn't too full. You order at the register then grab your seat. I received my order almost immediately. It was piping hot. The presentation is nice. Lots of garlic and some jalapeños. Unfortunately, it had no flavor. In my opinion of course. I would still recommend this place though. It's a nice chill place to hang out, chit chat and watch the game whilst plenty affordable food options Side note: They also sell gelato

Years later and I'm still coming back to get This and That Wings and Garlic Noodles! I love that I can sit next door at Alameda Brewing and Monkey King will bring my wings over as I drink a cold beer. You can even bring your dog to Alameda Brewing, which makes it all the better! If you ever find yourself at Monkey King at the Brewery, you can't go wrong with This and That Wings or Garlic Noodles!

Good spot for snack food that pairs nicely with beer or other social drinks. I have had their salt and pepper chicken wings before and remembered it was packed with flavor and the skin was fried to a nice crispy texture. So today, decided to try the general tso flavor and it also did not disappoint. Added the garlic noodles (they use udon noodles) this time and their lemonade. I asked for half hibiscus and half pineapple flavor and it was a good mix for the refreshing drink.

Second visit, the food is always good. The customer service is terrible, and the ambiance in the brewery side is chill. I went for specific dishes, which included the Crab Fried Rice which is one of my favorites. I also came for the Thai Iced Tea and they said they ran out. On a Saturday? You would think they would plan better for a weekend rush, but as I said, the customer service is not the best. At all. Ordered the Hanoi chicken wings, they were really good. Fried to perfection with lots of flavor. The Garlic Noodles with Fried Chicken bites was very good. The noodles were thick, Yakisoba noodles instead of the thin noodles, but still very delicious. Also ordered the Gumbo, which is NOT the traditional Gumbo you would get at a Creole restaurant. This was tomato based, with a sweet flavor and a kick to it. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4.5-5. Definitely do not have to try it again. Food is good, service is bad, what can you do? Get the food to go and call it a day.

First time and I loved my wings real bad! I got the lemon pepper and they were everything I was hoping for! Price and the service was good. The place was big and cold as hell! But I forgot how cold it was once my wings arrived! This place would definitely take lots of my money if I lived closer because these wings were the truth! I'd want to try all flavors! That's a fact!! The beef fried rice and green onion rice was delicious too!

Love this place!! We use to go to the other location all the time but it's always so busy! Lemon pepper wings were so good! Crispy and tasty. Dry fried ribs and fries were 8/10 I wish the ribs had more meat. It was fatty and lots of big bone pieces. It's no my usual dry fried rib pieces that I'm use too. I wish the fries had more flavor or salt. We also got jambalaya fried rice, all for less than $40! I'll be back for the wings! They have so many flavor options. Staff is really nice. They also sell gelato! Service is really quick. We went for lunch on a weekend. We will be back soon!

This place is so good and affordable! The portions are reasonable too.Definitely get the garlic noodle - they used udon noodles and the flavor was awesome.I got the salt and pepper chicken wings and it came with free fries. The wings were nicely fried, savory, and delicious.I got the tater tots too and everything I bought cost like $22 only. Highly recommend you come here and try the food out!

I'm truly disappointed with how bad the service has become at what used to be one of my favorite spots.We placed our food order at 6:33 PM. The wings came out at 6:55 PM, but the garlic noodles didn't arrive until 7:45 PM--and they were cold. No one came back to refill our waters or check if we needed anything.I also ordered a cocktail at 6:40 PM, which took forever to arrive and tasted horrible--way too sweet. My lemon drop was even missing the sugar rim! I ended up sending it back and asking for a refund (honestly, I should've done that with the food too).There were only two employees trying to serve about 10-12 tables. Plates were brought out one at a time, with no clear system, leaving guests frustrated. It's clear they were overwhelmed, but the bartender/server was especially unprofessional--no smiles, no welcome, and a generally rude demeanor that made the experience worse.What's sad is this place used to be a comfort spot for my family and friends. We've never left a review before because, at the very least, the food was hot. But this time, we left extremely disappointed.One of my friends even resorted to ordering wings through DoorDash pickup, hoping they'd be warm when she got them. That's how bad it was.Service like this makes it hard to want to come back.
