8 Monkeys food & drink

We were told by the waitress that we had to put away our 4yo snack box because no outside / byo food is allowed. We’re genuinely shocked as this is the first restaurant we’re ever been to that does not allow a kid to eat their snack while we’re waited for the food to come.

First visit to 8 Monkeys. Was impressed with service and food. Kan Kong was great. Desserts were delicious. Steak was very tasty. We will come back.

Great Staff & Great Food, ........ ... .. .. ..

Thank you for a lovely evening at 8 Monkeys! The food was beautiful with fresh, zesty flavours, and the service was friendly and timely. We will be back!

Always good food at this restaurant. we loved the deep fried whole fish and the butter diced beef with potatoes. thr pork skewers were good too.

Lovely atmosphere/decor, excellent service and great food! Highly recommend this great find!

We love this place - the service is great and the food is always fresh plus the menu options are extensive, to the point we always agonise on what to have because we want to have it all!

Food is great. I think prices have crept up a bit. But great meal.

Very enjoyable experience and great food and service. Thank you v

Food was delicious and fresh Definitely will be back to try desserts

Clean and spacious area out the back for our group of six and so cool on a 39 degree evening. Staff were attentive, BYO option was good, food choices were delicious. We were happily satisfied with so much food and our own wines for $45 head! Thank you for a great night.

My favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne! The food is modern Vietnamese, very fresh with great tastes. The menu is very extensive and they're always adding new dishes. This time I had the chilli chicken bun bowl and peach iced tea (the drink menu is also very extensive!). We also got takeaways dishes. 8 Monkeys is very consistent and never disappoints. Staff are very efficient and kind too :)

Great food, excellent service & value for money. Good eveninh

Excellent food and quick service, I highly recommend this place!

Everything about 8 Monkeys was excellent. The ambiance is bright, fresh and clean. The food a clever combination of traditional and modern Vietnamese. The service was well paced and staff attentive and friendly. Has quickly become a favourite.

Food was nice. Needed a little bit more salt, but that’s coz I like my food a bit saltier and spicier. The Vietnamese pancake dish took a little to come out, but aside from that, everything was great. Staff were super friendly. It’s my third time there.

Great food and service. The venue has 2 areas and is bigger than expected. We had a large group so cash was essential to split the bill. Will definitely come back to try some of the other dishes as the menu is huge.

good Vietnamese food better than the average Vietnamese food in local restaurants a bit more expansive but worth it . generous serves

Great food and great service. Food was tasty and throughly enjoyed. Service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommended.

Great food, will go back to try different menu items

Loved it, my friends really liked it too. We will be back.

The deep fried barramundi with the amazing chilli was tasteless. The fried calamari did not resemble the picture in the menu but was quite tasty. The chicken in hot plate was the tastiest.

Beautiful fresh food. Loved it Can’t wait to go back

We had a booking but got there 15 minutes early. The staff were happy to give us a table. The service was great with good food and deserts. Would be happy to come again.

It was great !!! Nice service amazing food. Nice clean restaurant!!! We love it. We’ll comeback soon definitely !!!

We were amazed at how quick the food came out! We went on a Saturday night- I recommend booking as it was very busy. Bao buns are a must! We got pork chops with rice and beef sizzling plate and they were both delicious

Delicious food, great prices, friendly staff- a little hidden treasure!

Just OK, that's all. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

It was okay, nothing spesh, asked for oysters on the menu they didn't have any.. why was it on the menu then? Food needed more seasoning.. The correct spoon for eating Pho was not provided.. Meh

I love the food at 8 Monkeys. Everything is incredibly delicious.

The best Vietnamese food in Carnegie, delicious pho full of fresh ingredients. Very tasty and well priced. I would visit again

Delicious food and delightful staff great experience. Will be back

We had a great time.Food was yammy and delivered very fast.Very happy with everything.

Always great food, with very prompt service. Need to keep going back to try everything on the menu!

The food was just okay. Expected better, tastier food. The whole fried fish dish was great, but even then, the source had a lot of sugar. As for the atmosphere, I would unscrew or switch off every second lamp/light. Way too bright.

Delicious meal, great variety of food. We really enjoyed the restaurant.

Really high quality pho. Would highly recommend. Perfect t on a cold Melbourne night

Amazing food. Menu was fantastic, took me a while to decide what to order as there were so many options, which all looked delicious. Will definitely go back.

This was a last minute dinner booking and we ended up having to add on more people and the restaurant was more than accommodating. Yummy food which came out quickly and great service, which is ideal for toddlers who needed to eat quickly. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Great food and great service. We’ve been here a few times now, and we’ll be back.

Menu choices were extensive. Food we ordered was tasty and well presented. However, one of our party was a coeliac and there was little to no choice of main courses for her, as pretty much all proteins were marinated in non gluten free sauces. We made the suggestion that perhaps the restaurant should have a gluten free menu.

I hosted my 40th there and the staff went above and beyond accommodating our large group. The food arrived steadfast, the taste was unbelievable, the service top notch! Will be back over and over!

excellent Vietnamese authentic food! Highly recommended. Would certainly do it again.

The food was excellent, will definitely go back for more.

Service was excellent as well.as the food. Will go back.

Food was Lovely. Great dinner location. Kids Loved it. Yay

Extensive menu which made it difficult to decide what to have. Our group of 7 all had a different dish and were all happy with our choices.
