I have tried the below mentioned:-- chicken fried rice- Schezwan chicken fried rice- chicken chilly gravy- kung pao chicken gravy- chicken in black pepper sauce- crispy chicken spinach- chicken hakka noodles- chicken schezwan noodles- chicken hot and sour soup- chicken sweet corn soup.The taste and quantity both are amazing and you can avail 20% discount if you order from the monk mobile application.

Instagram: @makram.radwan, A little cozy Asian restaurant offering several Asian cuisines. I unexpectedly enjoyed the food as it was very delicious!!! The tom yum soup with shrimps was so good and the seafood salad was made in a nice fusion style and I loved it.

They have good quality and taste Chinese food, however the price is expensive for daily dining. Air conditioner is always problem never make you comfortable for dinning. For drinking water bottle they are charging 7 Dhs which is very high, they shall charge for food not for drinking water which is essential along with food. Counter guy is very confident about higher rate of drinking water charges.

Their noodles and fried rice is amazing and so are their curries. Although the chicken lollipops are one of the worst Ive had till now. They have parking right outside the restaurant and the interior is decent. So overall its a good place to have food from just dont order the chicken lollipops.

We were in the mood for some Chinese dishes so went to The Monk. Me and a friend were craving for some Pecking Duck and we are looking for a good one.So here’s what we ordered and their rating:Pad Thai: 5⭐️ unlike any other Pad Thai in Dubai this is not too sour.Tempura Prawns: 5 ⭐️ we love the breading plus the freshness of the Prawn.Pecking Duck: 5⭐️ this is fab guys! Make sure to order this whenever you visit any of their Branches.Mixed Steam Dim-sum: 5⭐️ they serve this with Chicken, Prawn & Vegetable dim-sum.Seafood with Mushroom & Bamboo Shoots: 5⭐️ the sauce is the key! Yummm!Anjan, the restaurant supervisor was a star! He is very accommodating, over all they have a great team! Congratulations on that guys!We highly recommend this place to all you Chinese food lovers out there! They have 3 branches near you.See you again, soon The Monk Team!Your Foodie Friends,G & M eat ❤️

Their delivery guy Saeed is our Super Hero!! He saw my daughter and I running through our neighbourhood desperately searching for our dog that had just ran away. Shortly after, he rode to find us and led us to where our dog had been rescued. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being so kind and helpful!! 🙏💚🥳

Different taste and enjoyed well. Chinese style foods with lots of souses..... Especially more quantities is there, so first timers wanna order few items only. If needed can order more later. Fast serving. Hand Wash area wanna go through kitchen it’s not feel good.If service guy help to select the dishes mean it will be more better.

Used to be great, one of the best Chinese restaurants in fact. Covid must have affected it. Do not order Thai green chicken curry, its chocken bones in super salty coconut milk gravy. Very disappointed, no more ordering in. This and dumplings were aed 85, so not worth it!((

🤩⭐This is one of my top destinations in Dubai when it comes with Indo Chinese food. I am a fan of their dumplings and peking duck. I was also happy, they have a wide selection of food from their menu that I want to explore and taste the next time I visit. 😍😘Their food is authentic and the taste is exceptional. Forever a fan of Chinese Oriental Cuisine.Their place is not that big. But, It is spacious and have a nice seating. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an ancient chinese era.👍👍 Interesting and beautiful. I also have to thank the staff who helped and assist me with my orders. Two thumbs up. 👍👍

Visited the restaurant for late lunch/early dinner and ordered crispy peking duck,stir fried tenderloin with basil,chicken wooly,pan choy vegetable and mongolian pot noodle.The food was great, however i missed to try their crispy chicken spinach, which means i’ll be coming back to try more of their food on the menu.The food was served quicker than expected by their friendly and accomodating staff.You can never go wrong with Indochinese cuisine most especially in a good restaurant like The Monk Silicon Oasis branch.

Hungry for some delish Chinese? Craving for some not so spicy but not bland either dish ? And have a few bucks to spare , then this is the perfect place. The food tastes really good and worth every penny. The portion sizes are sufficient to excess side of the spectrum, so dont worry about it not filling your tummy !. And not to forget the restaurant has a rich ambiance with red and crayola wood color combination.

Regular customer of The Monk for past 6 years now and they never fail to satisfy my hunger everytime I visit. Definitely recommend the crispy chicken spinach as your starter. My personal favourite main course is Roast Lamb Black Pepper with fried rice, hits the spot every time.

Review №33

Excellent food joint in midst of the academic city. Good choices in the menu. Charges are little at a higher side. Around AED 75 to 90 per person. But worth the money you pay.Parking easily available, The building has parking space, but require to pay 4 AED per hour even on Fridays, No parking validation available at the restaurant.

Review №35

Food: 4/5This place has a wide range of Chinese food selection for both veg and non veg foodies. The Monks signature dish would be the crispy spinach chicken and the crispy spinach veg which is a must try. Their fried rice and Hakka noodles are also good. The kung pao chicken here is also quite delicious. The Mongolian chicken was really disappointing as it tasted just like a boneless fried chicken. The Mongolian pot noodle has too much sauce gravy on it which really just hides the taste of the noodles.Ambience: 4/5The Monk has a decent seating area. The ambience here is pretty good. Parking here is very convenient which is right outside the restaurant.Staff: 5/5Great customer service by the staff. Overall very friendly staff.Overall The Monk is a great place to have Chinese food from. Will definitely keep going here.

Food is tasty interiors is really good, but the staffs behavior is really pathetic .Message to the owner : if you don’t change the staff in reception and the waiters ( Amit Singh ) you will be forced to close the restaurant soon. Be aware and have a look closely. Body language is disgusting.

If you are a soup person try their Tom Yum or Monk Soup. Their crispy spinach chicken is not to be missed. Shezwan rice and noodles are good. The Pad Thai can be better. Do use your Emirates NBD card to pay and get a discount! 😊

This used to be my regular hangout place while I was doing my MBA in Academic city. Recently, I got a chance to visit their again and the food there hasn’t changed a bit. I’ve literally tried all the things from the menu and its hard to list my favourite. Still, crispy corn with chestnut is my fav in starters and a must try !

Review №73

I am real stickler for Chinese food. I generally dont like Chinese restaurants in Dubai - unless you are willing to pay luxury prices for Royal China.But you know what, The Monk is a real gem. They are not purely Chinese - but you can forgive them for that because the Red Thai Curry is brilliant! Actually, to be honest, most of their dishes are of good quality and dont hurt the wallet either.You must try the Chicken Woolly. I could have it everyday.The ambiance is great too. Perfect place for an office lunch. But dont bring to big of a crowd - it is pretty small.

Too slow, you may die of starvation before you are served. They have average Chinese food, but why do they use basmati rice? They have good Thai fried rice. Also the chicken and fried greens is nice.

Review №77

You need to specify in multiple languages what you want. The staff are utterly ridiculous in their behaviour and have no knowledge about their menu . Starters and main course are bought at the same time and your table is cluttered . They have no understanding of how a restaurant is to be managed.

We love the food in this place its just finger licking. Service is ok not that greatWe had one of our guest came late so we had requested for some order to be made later and told to bring kids food. They got a dish early and when asked they said all food is ready already . When the quest arrived they warmed the food and got and one of the staff commented what now we need to warm the food and bring. Staff was busy with take away orders and on phone chatting being a weekday. Would suggest karama branch over silicon oasis branch.

The food was lukewarm and ok at best. The orange chicken didn’t even taste like normal orange chicken and the Thai cocunut curry was so bad I had a bad upset stomach the next day. It was dark and noisy, crowded and dirty. It is not very authentic as a Chinese restaurant, but still the tempura was good. Just improve the orange chicken and main dishes
