Monkey Lounge

Ken made an excellent lychee martini, which was a highlight of the night. The sangria margarita, however, was very sour. Ken was a bit standoffish and not very friendly, which was a downside. Inside, the space was beautifully decorated, and the outside area was nice as well. The salmon spring rolls were absolutely delicious, but a heads-up they pack in big chunks of onion that can come out and slap you in the chin, burning you. This happened to both my sister and me, so I’d definitely suggest they dice the onion more finely. I wish the customer service was better because we would’ve stood. I wish they had music playing. But it’s was nice

We come to the Lounge very often, especially on karaoke nights. Its always a blast amd the food and service is always top notch. They treat you like family and know you by name. Go and have some fun! Wednesday, firday, Saturday amd Sundays are the usual karaoke nights.

Loved this establishment! Authentic Vietnamese dining in a beautiful upper scale experience. This is a destination location for the Vietnamese community who are warm, polite and inclusive in the evening's fun with dancing and singing through the karaoke kiosk. We were surrounded by beautiful people in designer clothes that set the standard in politeness,fashion and respect. These guys know how to make a night enjoyable!! We felt like we were on vacation. The restaurant is gorgeous inside with a Hollywood movie set feel. We can't wait to go back to this very fun, VERY AFFORDABLE oasis that is well run and has delicious food.

Great place! Vietnamese restaurant with good food and awesome service! The atmosphere was welcoming and warm. The food was very tasty and the drinks were on point. Will have to come back for dinner. Worth the trip!!

I attended a New Year’s event here and was extremely disappointed. The food was poor in quality and painfully slow, especially given the outrageous pricing. The space was overcrowded and uncomfortable, which only amplified the chaos. The overall crowd and atmosphere felt more like a disorganized free-for-all than a curated event or lounge experience. For the price point and the occasion, I expected far better execution and standards. Unfortunately, it was a complete waste of time and money. I would not return or recommend this venue for special events.

We arrived early Saturday night. It wasn’t crowded and they seated us at a prime table under a lit tree. Service was attentive and food was excellent. The steak and the papaya salad were delicious. We wished we had more time to stay for the karaoke!

This review is for a Private Party we had at the Lounge. What a great decision it was to have our cocktail karaoke birthday party for approx 40ppl there! Our party required different items that what are offered on their regular menu, so we worked closely with Lynn to create finger foods and appetizers, some gluten free, that go well with cocktails. Lynn was great to work with, lots of communication, and understood what we were going for. Chef Ron did a great job and everything looked and tasted great. He even came out and did a song :D Bartender and the rest of the staff were very attentive and fast to help me with any requests during the party. The atmosphere is great and we didn't need to do any other decorating except for a birthday banner. They had a karaoke DJ, Van, that was so great to work with and perfectly mixed the sound and kept the music/requests going. We are really pleased and would not hesitate to have another party at the Monkey Lounge!

If you ever want authentic Vietnamese food. This isn't a place. Let me start by saying the parking spaces are plenty. The inside is very modern. They are running a happy hour special from 4:30 to 6pm. 2 appetizers for half off. We ordered nem cuon, tuna cevechi and banh xeo. The tuna cevechi isn't fresh. It's frozen tuna. Needed more acid to the cevechi and maybe some spice. The Banh Xeo we ordered came 40 mins later without the fish sauce. We had to ask the hosts for it. The Banh Xeo is made from American pancake mixed. The shrimps for the Banh Xeo are extra small! We can immediately tell that they didn't use the rice flour to make Banh Xeo. The fish sauce is sweet. The Bo Ne aka Vietnamese breakfast with steak, egg, and patait. The skillet was hot, but the food was warm. The sauce was sweet. My wife had Bun Bo Hue. Let me say it's anywhere closed to being Bun Bo Hue. The broth is sweet. No herb smell to it. When the broth comes out, you should smell the herb in the broth. Nope! My nephew ordered oxtail pho. The broth had no herb smell or tasted. One oxtail, no beef slice, and a couple of beef balls. My sister had wild boar meat. She wanted a small bowl of rice. It took 20 minutes to arrive! We came at 5:30 pm. The two out of three appetizers were supposed to be half off. She didn't take it off. So we had to tell the hostess. I can say the hostess are clueless. The food isn't authentic, and the service is really slow!

This newly opened hidden gem in Randolph, approximately 25 minutes from Boston, has a nice mystical vibe. Once you step into this thoughtfully designed space with comfort in mind, the ambiance and superior service transports you in a relaxing and fun state of mind. They offer half off appetizers DAILY between 4:30 pm - 6:30 (limited to 2 appetizers). They also host special events and live band music. As the clock strikes 8:30 PM on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the place becomes even more lively with karaoke! It was such a great sight seeing people of different ages and cultures come together for the love of music. Cheering and applauding each brave or tipsy performer like that of a fan boy and fan girl. Their food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! They offer Vietnamese dishes you'd normally see in pho restaurants but you will also find authentic Vietnamese plates that you have never seen offered. This place is a MUST VISIT - fun drinks, nice vibe, superior service, amazing food, and friendly diners.

Monkey Lounge is definitely a hidden gem in Randolph. I stumbled across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were the only two people there. The aesthetics were so pretty (as you can see in the video I uploaded). They had a short window of time where it's happy hour where you get half off 2 appetizers (per table). We ordered Braised Pork Belly ($12) this was a 7/10 only because it was alot of fatty meat, Wings/Soy Garlic Flavor ($15) 10/10, french fries with the garlic sauce that it comes with on the side ($9), side of white rice ($2.50), for my drink a Blueberry Mojito ($14) 9/10 just wish it wasn't such a small amount with a Hefty amount of ice but it was good. Lemonade for my kiddo ($6.50 she said it was a 4/10) and for dessert Ube Tiramisu ($10.00) 1/10... We weren't a fan of the Tiramisu but overall everything was good. I definitely plan to return.

Found this place here and was looking for a vibe spot and this was def it. The food was good, the menu wasnt too extensive, but I think you go to this place for the atmosphere & drinks... We ordered lots of things, It was all good, but not like OMG I have to go back for the food. The vibe is great, Karaoke, the decor, the spot could def be the summer chill spot, the drinks were great too. The staff was all super friendly, I would come back.

Beautiful interior decoration, unlike other Vietnamese restaurants. The menu features a fusion of dishes that pair well with alcohol. The dishes are neither hit nor miss. Nice place for a drink and quick snacks, but probably not a place for dinner. - Grease Snails (Oc Mo) with Garlic Butter ($20) - lacks garlic butter taste, but the snails are good. - Clams with Boiled Lemongrass and Basil Broth ($18) - the broth was sweet, but the clams were so small that most of them fell out of their shells.- Soft Shell Crabs with Honey Walnut ($20) - Normally, we would order shrimp with honey walnut at other Asian restaurants, but we gave this a try. No walnuts that day, which is fine with us since the crabs are the main ingredient. The dish had too much mayo, and I didn't even realize pineapple wasn't served with it; instead, there was just some chopped lettuce at the bottom as decoration. - Pho Beef Short Rib ($22) - Broth was clean, not oily, even though it was served with short rib. The short rib was well boiled, the meat was soft, and not much fat. - Pho KIS (Keep It Simple) - Broth is hot, and lots of meat. - House Sizzling Beef - Bo Ne ($20) - Not worth it, just like regular stir-fried beef with onions. NO sizzling when served, it was lukewarm. - Monkey Feast ($40) - Served with rice vermicelli, featuring sugar cane shrimp, grilled pork sausage, grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf, and Vietnamese ham. Beautiful presentation and a nice appetizer to start, but somehow it was served at the end of the meal. Some of the vegetables aren't fresh and are not worth the price.

Beautiful decor. The entrance is a bit weird but don't let that deter you from coming. Our server, Evan was fantastic. He danced for us! Greasy snail- with butter and garlic sauce. super garlicky and delicious, must order! Clam- on the lighter side but the lemongrass and lime leaves flavor is prominent. Also must get. Crispy rice- This reminds me of Chinese claypot rice. Pair this with the greasy snails and oh my god. Pho- it's alright. They serve it on a hot cauldron. Cinnamon forward and one of the better pho I've had. Seafood tower with fresh oyster- Fresh no complaints. Pull pork cheese fries- delicious and pairs well with an ice cold beer Half of their house special chicken- I heard it's always sold out but I was lucky tonight. It was very loud due to karaoke night. But the food is delicious and don't forget to take some selfie on your way to the bathroom.

This restaurant was a hit/miss in several different areas. Atmosphere was good, space is decorated in a fun way and clean (lots of fake plants/ bright colors/ kind of jungle themed). Drinks were the highlight- nicely presented, strong, and well priced. Recommend the lotus flower, lychee martini, sparkling pear martinis. Apps were ok (pan fried dumplings great and shrimp fire crackers lacked flavor but fried well, with great sauce). Entrees hit and miss. The boar in both the stir fried boar and sizzling boar entrees were pretty fatty/ chewy. Flavors of these dishes were tasty though. They ran out of baguettes that were supposed to come with the dishes so they were replaced it with what looked like pork rinds but made out of dragonfruit (which wasnt bad). Pineapple stir fry was well presented served in half a pineapple but the flavor fell flat, no taste other than the meat in the dish and the pineapple. Service was slow and spotty despite us going in when it was pretty empty, not sure if they were short staffed or if thats how it always is but my party was not the only one to mention it. Not all dishes came out at the same time and some members of our party waited a while for their entrees. Not sure what was up with our server (might have been on the newer side) but he didn't know much about the dishes when we had questions, forgot one of our apps which we had to remind him and got at the end of our meal. Overall not the worst spot but have been to better.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Came here for family dinner on a Tuesday night and was super hangry. The table configuration was weird and uncomfortable. All you hear is the Vietnamese music blasting in your ear and I was definitely not feeling the vibe. After the food came, I was starting to enjoy this place. The food was yummy and I would come back. The decor is very cute and tropical. Service was nice and attentive despite it being busy and loud. Owner checked up on us a couple times too. -Mango Salad: Super fresh and veggies were nice and crunchy. Only wished it was spicier. Asked for more nuoc mam on the side. Nuoc mam was super garlicky and flavorful, used it on everything else for the rest of the night. Loved it. -Oc (snails) in coconut milk: nice and thick sauce with lots of coconut and lemongrass flavors. Not much meat in the oc but LOVED the sauce. -Banh Xeo: liked how it was 2 mini ones and had lots of veggies. Yummy and crispy. -Pork Belly Bao buns: pork was a little dry. Not much flavor here. -Oysters: fresh -Bo Ne: had good flavor so the onions were yummy. Loved dipping the bread into the sauce and the coconut sauce from the oc. Wished the meat was a little more charred, but was still tender. -Pork Fried Rice: If you like crispy claypot rice, then this is the rice for you. It was yummy and had dried pork floss on top which elevated it. -Pho w/ short ribs: a pass

Shaking Pork Tail was delicious. The pancakes were also so good. The bartender is great!

It has been a while since I been here but the last time I came here I had good food and drinks and the staff were really friendly.

Food: The Thai tea was pretty good, it was a little bit diluted, but you can still taste the tea pretty well. I got the Vietnamese pancake, which was a good size and you had plenty of garnishes to eat with it and the sauce that comes with it was perfect. The butter garlic escargot provided with a good portion of it and it was delicious but I thought it was rather still bland without the sauce, it could've been the type of butter they were using like it's not salted? Lots of garlic. My friend ordered the coconut shrimp which honestly wasn't really what we had expected bc it was five shrimps on a coconut. I definitely would come back to try the other food options as this resembles my culture. Service: the service was rather slow as we came on a day that it was during somebody's birthday, so we had to constantly ask for their our server for things or when we needed something. It took a while for us to get the food and bill as we were just sitting there waiting for during dinner. Ambiance: It's Vietnamese inspired so you're going to see a lot of celebration and partly like vibe if there's a birthday. Surprisingly we did go and it was during somebody's birthday so it was loud during the whole time. They were doing karaoke which feels like you're at a live music, but it was so loud during the whole time which can be a bit much if you're just trying to have dinner. It's a very beautiful lounge with unique furniture pieces, and it's rather spacious with outdoor patio seating. Location accommodation: There's plenty of parking in the back. They just recently opened this past year and offer a lot karaoke nights and songs to request.

Wow what a unique and magical place! They decorated the entire restaurant impressively with colorful plants and artistic objects. The food is amazing, with a nice combination of Asian fusion bar food and Vietnamese home-style dishes. The service is great, the staff is very friendly. The karaoke atmosphere is also lovely and festive!

A hidden gem! Food and service were great! Beautiful Ambiance as well! 1/2 off appetizers during happy hour! we'll be back for Karaoke!

Great food awesome ambiance lucky to enjoy a live local young band and fantastic service. Bartender was great nice guy Harry. Definitely... I'll BE BACK

Everything was excellent. Friendly staff. Great Ambiance, and everything we ordered was delicious. Shredded pork cheese fries were the standout. And the Pho was excellent as well. Prices are more than reasonable.

As a group of predominantly color, the customer service was extremely unprofessional. The ambiance is specifically for the Asian community only. The food is an overall 7.5 out of 10 on the other hand the drinks were amazing 10/10
