Gift Tips
- Try the Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer — it's frequently called out for its flavor and makes a great starter to share.
- Order the Volcano Roll or Funky Monkey roll to sample Rice Monkeys' fusion-style sushi creations.
- If you want a warm, filling option, get the Beef Pho or one of the large rice bowls for takeout or dining in.
- Save time by ordering pickup during peak hours; the small dining room fills quickly but takeout orders are handled efficiently and stay hot.
- Enjoy a casual outdoor meal on the pet-friendly patio during warmer months for people-watching and fresh air.
