Hello Monkey — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

Honestly experienced the coldest service of my life. Ordered a som tam and beef tartar as a snack before heading out for a movie. Food was amazing but the guy who served us was completely disinterested with our order. Didn’t bother checking on us if we wanted anything more or not even to ask if the food was ok. Reason I’m saying this is because we clearly saw him serving others who ordered more dishes and drinks in a friendlier manner. We just felt very discriminated. This will surely be our last visit there. My husband is a chef from a. Well known 2 Michelin star in Sweden and he very wells knows the difference between good service and “serving just to get over it” kinda service attitude. The cherry on the cake was when we wanted to pay the bill and looked in his direction many times to get his attention and yet he ignored us and served the others. We waited some time but clearly he was “too” busy to notice us. We walked in to the bar area to catch attention and he said “my colleague will help you” but his colleague was completely unaware that we were there to pay the bill. There was no word of thank you or any sort of gesture which made us feel welcome as we were exiting...

Excellent food, we visited for the first time and we were very happy with having selected this restaurant.

We went for their «Monkey Dim Sum», which was a very pleasant surprise: All the included dishes were delicious, and they were served in generous portions.

As this location seems a popular place among the locals, it took us a bit of time to get a table, however, it was a Friday night and between 8 and 9 PM. So, to avoid possible long waiting times, try to reserve in advance—instead of just showing up as we did; nevertheless, we only waited about 15 minutes and we end up getting a table on the terrace, as it was not a cold night. Our waiter was very attentive and polite, it is a shame I do not recall his name.

Price-wise, I believe the dishes are properly priced, at least the Dim Sum. Although it may seem expensive for some but, if you have been to Sweden, one could end up paying way more for less quality food almost at any corner.

A very good...

The food was very nice. They try a bit too hard to be fancy. We had the menu for two and I would say the starter is a bit small. And for the price it misses a dessert. Unfortunately, they were understaffed so each of the two courses took more than an hour. Which can happen but sashimi is just raw fish and should not take that long. The service was nice and tried to compensate in a "buddy" manner. Offered a complementary drink which was nice. However, he also thought it is okay to have some shots with the pretty girls on another table and hang out while several tables got a bit impatient waiting for food. In general a no go (drinking while working) but even more if you want to be a bit higher class which they represent with prices beyond 500kr per person for the menu. The interior and toilet also give more of a bar vibe than a posh restaurant. For a price around 350kr I would come back. But that is...
