    Randomly chanced upon this place while I was walking from Daikayama T-site. First off, the interior looks great with spacious seating and high ceiling which you rarely find in most restaurants in Tokyo. This place serve multiple cuisines, but mostly south east asian base. I ordered the Thai green curry dish and it turned out to be a disaster! While the taste was ok, I was surprised that it did not have any chicken at all (maybe 2-3 small pieces and that's it?!) The dish was crazy small and I was wondering to myself if this can be considered as a main dish. I also ordered a glass of Kirin which was ok, but it didn't taste as fresh and cold as I would have in other places. My throat felt funny afterwards. An extremely unforgettable experience which I will never come back again.

    Expensive Thai food but awesome atmosphere. Unusually large restaurant space to see in Tokyo. Excellent for groups. 3 floors of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Service was a little slow. They brought us one menu to share for a large group. The restaurant wasn't busy at all but they were a little aggressive at the end of our meal because they didn't like how long we were taking. Drinks were yummy but a little expensive ¥800 for a small non alcoholic smoothie

    Strangely the only place in Japan I’ve seen where the staff “cannot wear masks due to health reasons.” Mostly just surprised. Ambiance is great. Food is hit and miss. Shrimp toast (think crab Rangoon) and green curry are great. Oriental salad and soup dumplings are middle of the road. Pho was not good, very little flavor. Dishes are on smaller side. Think about 1000 yen each

    Food wasn't any better than other Thai restaurants but the atmosphere made up for that. Very spacious interior and the staff was very friendly.

    5 stars for the building, location and service but only 1-2 stars for the food. Let’s begin with what makes Monsoon Cafe a great place for hanging out with friends. We couldn’t help but notice how they went all out with transforming the restaurant for celebrating Halloween. The staff were also attentive to their customers’ needs, which was a challenge considering tables are spread out inside and outside the three storey building. They weren’t wearing mask (“due to health reasons” according to the sign by the restaurant’s entrance) so we could see their faces fully and it was nice to know that both male and female servers were attractive. As for the food, our dogs loved the gapao rice. I just wished they would serve it with more meat and less rice since our dogs didn’t finish up the rice portion. I enjoyed unexpectedly the Thai shrimp toast the most. I also liked the Moscow mule made with their homemade ginger ale. Just based on that drink alone, I think their drink list trumps their food lineup. Here comes my opinion on the main dishes. They were different from those I’ve tried in Jakarta and Bangkok. The pad Thai had an intriguing sour tang. That taste was overpowering you’d think their pad Thai was more of a variation of or inspired by harusame (春雨サラダ). The chicken gapao rice and nasi goreng tasted better but were still light in taste and color. Based solely on coming here once, I hope that they put more effort into giving an authentic Asian food experience as much as they put in work on the restaurant’s interior and exterior design.

    Good food and worth going for the ambience. I would say that the parking is quite a tight fit and a bit dirty. Lunch set is good, but going early is good since the daily set sells out quickly.

    Ambience is good, food alright, services could be better. Some are very friendly but some are not. Very spacious and the interior is outstanding. perfect for catch-ups with friends.

    Went here for dinner with 3 other friends. My food took quite a bit of time to come out (they were all almost finished by the time I got mine), but it was a bit busy, and I got a hot dish whereas most of my friends went with salads or appetizers. The prices are a bit steep so I’d consider it a two-drink-maximum kind of place, but the drinks were very good. I got a Lava Flow - cute presentation, delicious, and refreshing. Overall a nice vibe. It was perfect for a nice dinner with friends without being too fancy.
