The Monkey King

The Monkey King was created out of a desire to pay homage to family traditions & food memories of growing up as Asian Americans in NYC. As a contemporary American restaurant, The Monkey King celebrates & brings Bengali and Chinese flavors to life, giving a nod to the past while looking into the future through a New York City lens. As part of the third culture, our goal is to evoke a sense of nostalgia for our guests, of having eaten something familiar but, at the same time - different.
