Dining at Monsoon was an experience I won’t forget anytime soon. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance — upscale but unpretentious, cozy yet elegant. We started with the Dumpling, gyoza,octo and which was bursting with flavor and beautifully plated. For the main course, I had duck curry and Padthai chicken — and WOW. The balance of textures and flavors was masterful. Every bite felt intentional and memorable. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail: The pacing of the meal was perfect The staff was extremely knowledgeable about ingredients and pairings Even the background music was on point! Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a consistently excellent meal, Monsoon delivers. It's clear that the chef and team here are passionate about what they do — and it shows. I’ll be recommending this place to...

The Chicken Penang Curry should have been called the Carrot and Bamboo Shoot Attempted Curry. Its flavours were all wrong; the Galangal was missing and if there was 30 grams of chicken I would be surprised. Our 5.45 booking resulted in our food coming out at 6.45. The one star is really for the soft shell crab, which although mediocre was just edible. I would recommend not bothering with this overpriced eatery with its aloof waitresses, and finding somewhere else for dinner. $78 wasted........
