What a wonderful surprise! We stopped in here for lunch and everything we ordered was delicious! The Pho broth is honestly one of the best we’ve ever had! The fried pork roll vermicelli bowl was really pleasant and the bang bang shrimp was incredible! The service was excellent and everyone was really friendly and helpful. I highly suggest giving Rice Monkeys a try!

We were specifically looking for bang bang shrimp, which led us here, and we are so happy it did. The bang bang shrimp is fantastic! I highly recommend it. We’ve now been back a few different times and have never been disappointed. The sushi is top-notch. Try the funky monkey! The summer rolls are great, the Vietnamese coffee is delicious. Literally, everything we’ve tried is perfect, not to mention the amazing service. It’s definitely worth the 2 hour drive for us, and we will continuously return.

Hands down some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! The salmon was excellent & the crispy tuna roll was incredible. Do not skip either item! I also ordered the chicken vermicelli bowl and it was crisp and tasty. Was surprised to find this caliber of seafood in Durango, but I am happy I did! The service & atmosphere was warm, welcoming and friendly – I’ll definitely be back!

The gluten-free options are plentiful and phenomenal. I got the fried pork rolls as an appetizer and could not have been happier. Such an incredible amount of crunch and flavor. The sesame beef teriyaki bowl was also a real winner.

I say this confidently, this is most definitely the best sushi i have ever had in my life. My sushi order, the Lava roll, was deep fried but had an amazing light crisp to it. I enjoyed every single piece on that plate. My mom ordered the Saigon Noodle bowl, and it was also delightful. I am so happy we got to this place as it opened, because it is a small space with not a lot of seating. If you plan to go here, get there as it opens or a couple minutes after! These guys do know what they are doing with this place though, keep it up!

Was very neat and great atmosphere. Every workers took care of us efficiently. The man making the sushi rolls took our order and had it out very quickly. Everyone was very respectful, polite, and was there to serve. They also gave me cheaters for my chopsticks. The food was awesome and very well presented.

Exceptional Sushi chefs here. A welcome haven from the Durango snow storm! Piping hot Miso Soup starter hit the spot. Highly recommend specialty roll Funky Monkey. Wonderful taste blends. Treat yourself to the Bang Bang Shrimp. Super yum!

I had a fantastic sautéed sesame beef rice bowl which I picked up to go. The beef was delicious and it was chock-full of perfectly cooked veggies as well. While I absolutely loved my dish, quite frankly, I regretted not sitting in and ordering as the dishes with sushi rolls going by me were plump and gorgeous. I will definitely sit in and enjoy sushi next time I visit.
