This is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Santa Monica. I haven't had a dish I haven't liked - and my wife and I have been there several times, and go with the recommended tactic of ordering a few appetizers to share and then one entree (portions are of regular size, not the super-American-huge size so many diners are accustomed to). The service is great - attentive, friendly and accomodating - and the wine recommendations always complement the food perfectly! Santa Monica has a lot of restaurants with great Asian cuisine, but Monsoon is the best of the best! If you're looking for a romantic evening, try an upstairs table for privcy!
Pros: Amazing food, friendly service, good atmosphere
