My office orders from here regularly. Golden Monkey is consistently amazing. Every time. Their Bai Sach Mon(crispy chicken and rice) is so good!! The pickled vegetables are the best I have ever had. Even their jerky is just so delicious. Very friendly staff. Consistently 10/10!

We are a family of three with a wheelchair. We ordered the lort cha (stir-fried noodles), lok lak (shaken beef), and chicken wings (with delicious sauces) and we loved each of our dishes. It’s located in a great location and a plenty of parking. We noticed that the there were more online and pickup orders than dining in, but man was the restaurant popping with customers. It was very exciting to see. Inside the restaurant is very quaint, with about 3 tables, and there are more tables outside on the patio. There is a ramp for wheelchairs to get into the restaurant, but not the most wheelchair accessible. I think the seating and front table area could be reconfigured to be more efficient and spacious. However, customer service was top notch. Very kind owners. Food came out pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend this place!

Food and service were excellent, parking was a bit tough, there were only 3 parking spots available at the time and all were taken.

We were happy to see that a local business was busy and parked on one of the side streets and walked over expecting to see a full restaurant but only surprised to see only 1 table. Seems the employees were using the parking lot instead.

Not a big deal but took us a bit to find parking. Wondered how many other customers wanted to stop by but went elsewhere due to lack of parking.

Grew up in the Lynn area and was sad to see a lot of the Cambodian community assimilate and establishments disappear, Great to see a Cambodian restaurant thriving again in Lynn.

I’ve had numerous dishes from The Golden Monkey Cafe and they never disappoint! Nowadays, there are fewer Cambodian restaurants in the area, so I make it a point to enjoy a delicious meal from here when I can. Every dish from here is a HIT! From the first bite, you can tell that this family owned spot puts their love and soul into every single dish.

Their “Mekathang” AKA flat rice noodles are a family favorite. The sauce is savory with a rich consistency that coats every noodle. I usually get the beef and seafood option which comes with tender pieces of beef and juicy pieces of shrimp. The vegetables that come with the dish are always fresh and crisp, especially the baby corn. Their “Bai Sach Mon” AKA crispy chicken & rice is a go to comfort meal too. The chicken comes out fresh and crispy with a delicious sweet chili sauce on the side. Make sure you try their “Bai Cha” AKA fried rice!! It’s so comforting and filling. If you’re looking to try a more traditional homestyle dish, I recommend the “Cha Kreung” which is a lemongrass paste stir fry. You can choose either beef or chicken, both of which come packed with flavor that make this dish superrr comforting. They make this dish just like my yeay (grandma) does and it takes me back home. If you’re looking for quick finger food, their Slap Mon AKA Chicken Wings and their “Kdam Roum” AKA Crab Rangoon Rolls are fresh and crispy every single time. Their “Hot Nu Mon” sauce for their wings is my absolute favorite, it’s a spicy, citrusy, and slightly salty sauce that takes the wings to a whole new level. Be warned, this sauce is addicting! Their crab rangoons are packed full, they never skimp out, and they have a slight sweetness that makes them some of the best I ever had in my life.

In addition to the food being delicious, their prices are really affordable which I understand must be difficult to maintain in our economy right now. On top of that, the restaurant is run by a family team with a husband and wife duo at the forefront of operations. They also make it a priority to be engaged with the community by giving back and serving food at local events. How could you not want to support?

Their service is always amazing and super friendly. If you ever stop by while one of the owners, Peter, is at the register, you can tell right away that he cares for each and every customer that walks through the door. The rest of the staff never hesitate to help walk a customer through the menu if they’re unfamiliar with dishes so don’t be afraid to ask questions. Space is limited but if you do choose to dine-in, the staff are very attentive and kind as well. I really can’t recommend this spot enough! The prices are fair, portions are huge, service is friendly, and the food is delicious!!

The food was delivered fresh! It’s my first time trying Golden Monkey Cafe and the food is already knocking the ball out of the park. The proportions are pretty big! It’s worth the price it’s at. The taste of the pad thai and fish sauce reminds me of home cooked food from grandmas house so it’s perfect to my liking. Sorry for the terrible lighting in the pics :// I love how big and stuffed the spring rolls were omg!!! 10/10 rolls for sure, sets the standard for how they’re supposed to be made in restaurants haha. But overall, you can tell that the food was made with love! I’ll be recommending this restaurant to friends and family woot woot!

I absolutely love this place. Everything we tried was amazing. The egg rolls and the wings are my favorite, and I would definitely get the ramen again, but I can’t wait to go back and try more things. If you’re in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.
