All three sushi rolls we had were absolutely fabulous! Service was quick and very friendly. It's a cute little spot. I was surprised by the small seating area, only 4 tables, but it wasn't an issue during our visit.

The food was amazing.The service was great they served us and ask us what we wanted to eat.Overall it was a great place to eat and great side of pho and I would recommend.

Very good Asian fusion restaurant. Who would have thought that pho and sushi go hand in hand. Well they do. Service is quick and friendly. I love the ambiance. A definitive find.

Very good sushi in a casual restaurant in downtown Durango. We like to go at lunchtime and sit outside, when weather allows. The quality of the sushi is really excellent. We often get nigiri but also like the rolls. Some of our favorites are salmon-avocado, hamachi love and crispy tuna. The menu describes the crispy tuna as spicy but we didn't find it particularly so. The seaweed salad is also very good, plenty big enough for two to share. Service is always friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable. If you think you might not be able to get good sushi in a small mountain town, think again. We like Rice Monkeys as much as what we get in Austin!

Small unassuming place but has indoor and outdoor seating on main street Durango. Greeted upon entering sat inside tables are hard to get into the bench side but was comfortable. The appetizer came out quick. Pho came out when we were very close to finishing the edamame. Pho was absolutely delicious and filling. Service was good but not over bearing.

We really like the food at rice monkey. The rice vermicelli bowls are particularly good (fried pork is the best one in our experience). Sushi is also pretty solid. Biggest complaint is cost. It's pricey. We had 2 sushi rolls and 1 vermicelli bowl to split for 2 of us and spent $62 on lunch. Food is good, service is good, prices are a bit inflated.

Clean atmosphere, friendly staff, great service, we ordered a Korean barbecue bowl and it was fresh, tasty, and super delicious! Veggie roll included. Flavor was awesome. Pork was done perfectly. Flavors melted together, amazingly.

This place is tiny and there is additional sitting outside. The food was amazing. The presentation was like that of a fancier restaurant and the taste combination was amazing. I was blown away by the taste combo of the Tiradito. The service was pretty quick considering how busy they are. I highly recommend Rice Monkey, just be prepared that you might have to wait.

August 26, 2023. Saturday. 2:30 PM. Every time my wife and I have visited Durango, Rice Monkeys has been closed. The reviews and the signage piqued our interest but walking by on weekends, the place was shuttered down. Hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 11 AM - 3 PM lunch and dinner 5 PM - 8:30 PM. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays. However, on this Saturday, it was open. The rain poured down, and they were about to close in 30 minutes. However, the sushi chef let me order a to-go, Funky Monkey roll ($18). This place had a cozy and tight sitting room, and I stood in the middle, waiting out of the rain. Funky monkey roll featured shrimp, tempura flakes, avocado, spicy aioli, cream cheese, topped with yellowfin tuna, and sirimi crab. Sorry, no picture of this roll. They placed sweet soy sauce in a dish on the side. Inside the to-go bag were two sets of chopsticks, napkins, wasabi, a healthy amount of fresh ginger and the aforementioned soy sauce. Service from the waitress and sushi chef was great, because they could have shut down orders. A group of three arrived after me and he took care of them too. He finished my order in about 7 minutes. We ate the roll in the parking lot of Ska Brewing. We could tell it had fresh ingredients and he added lots of avocado. I liked the roll without the sweet soy sauce, as it was cloyingly sweet. Wish we had sampled other rolls, but maybe next time.

Fantastic little spot for high quality rolls. Looking for a spot with some high quality rolls with tons of flavor? This is a great spot to check out. I ordered the lickity-split and I wish I could have ordered more. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and again very flavorful. My only regret was coming with family members who claim they like sushi but definitely only meant the like california rolls. They ordered a california roll and a shrimp tempura roll. We came on a Wednesday around 1:00 PM after a soak at the Durango Hot Springs (also highly recommend). We were sat immediately inside where there are only about three tables but there are more outside. I think those outdoor seats are a little higher demand because the weather was perfect.
