Reviews for Laughing Monk Cafe in Wellesley, MA
Did not expect much for any Asian fusion style of food. But this was surprisingly good. We ordered Lo Mein and Crispy roll. So... tasty. Read more
Great for date night. The sushi is fresh and the presentation of all the food makes the experience feel luxurious. On the... pricier side but I definitely think it?s worth it! Read more
Food was great! I had the green curry dish. Small intimate space. Only 5 /6 dining room tables. They only take reservations... for sushi. We got there at 6 pm on a Thursday and didn't have to wait for a table. A little pricey but I would definitely goback. Read more
Fantastic food and great service. The sushi is excellent and the shrimp tempura roll may have been the best I?ve had. The... kitchen menu is also excellent with a surprisingly incredible drunken noodle dish. And the blanketed shrimp are not to bemissed. It?s a little on the pricey side but it?s worth it Read more
Salad is not fresh and the plate is chipped. Crab fired rice only has few pieces crab meat, mostly just egg white, oily and... salty. Tuna nigiri is another disappointment, one of lowest quality of tuna. However, their service is good and professional.Seats are comfortable. Hope they can do better job selecting their food suppliers, serving their food as good as their prices. Read more
We love Laughing Monk! First time at the new location in Wellesley and won?t be our last. Only took drink photos, but trust me,... the food is photo worthy too. Sushi is fantastic, apps all that and our main dishes left us satisfied. Service is fast and staffare kind. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try! Read more
We started with cocktails, which were impressively unique and delicious. We then did just two pieces of the ?Tasting Menu?... (pictured) and those were out of this world, bursting with complex layers of flavor. The atmosphere, while small, was creativelydecorated, like a place you might find in Seaport. My only criticism is that the timing of our order could have been better- wefound ourselves noticing the wait between dishes. But overall, a fantastic experience. I look forward to more. Read more
Gorgeous new little restaurant in downtown Wellesley. Had a sushi roll and a Green Curry at lunch. The space is beautiful, and... at our weekday lunch almost all of the ten or so tables were full. It's new, so still breaking in the food loses a star on acouple details that might not bother other people. First, the sushi is brown rice and seemed wetter than typical. Also, theAlaska roll was a simple presentation but more expensive than average. The curry was a gorgeous shade of green, the vegetablesabsolutely crisp and perfect. The chicken was probably streamed in advance, something often done. Service is friendly andprofessional but don't be on a tight schedule when you visit. Read more
