Food: Palatable food with ordinance-size portions

Monster Thai's cuisine sits in a realm of ordinariness, serving dishes that won't throw your taste buds into spasms of pleasure or horror. A crowd favorite seems to be the hefty Beef Pad See Ew, with its Pork Panang Curry and the intriguingly tasting Tom Kha Soup not too far behind. The fresh ingredients and value for money leave little for complaints, but don't expect a culinary expedition.

  • Great Value

    Great value and quality for the price; frequent positive mentions.

  • Okay Taste

    Some reviews indicate decent taste, not bad or good, just average.

Vibe: Daunting atmosphere kills the buzz

The vibe at Monster Thai is about as inviting as a dive bar at closing time. The ambiance is uncomfortably cramped and dark, with an unwelcome orchestra of loud music creating distractions, rendering the place unsuitable for romantic dates. The disheartening absence of booze, combined with its takeaway place feel, rounds off a disappointing ambiance that can sour even the tastiest of dishes.

  • Dates

    Too small, loud, cramped; uncomfortable for dates, lacks privacy.

Perks: Indifferent perks sullied by inadequate space

On the service front, Monster Thai nails it in terms of friendly staff and quick service. Diet conscious patrons will appreciate the ample vegetarian options. However, the cramped seating sends group diners packing and the parking nightmare does little to attract customers. Outdoor seating is a tiny space crammed with tables far too close for comfort.

  • Great for Diets

    Offers healthy, flavorful food with a variety of vegetarian options.

  • Hard To Hear

    Hard to hear/understand server due to loud background noise when calling.
