Incredible food each and every time I order!
Their food is incredibly tasty, portion sizes are really decent and this quaint little hole in the wall is dynamite!
Aaagh just simply the BEST!!! Their sweet and sour pork and chicken with cashewnuts...word cannot describe. Big portions and really very well prepared dishes. I don't know what sauce they make their noodles in...but oh man it's good!!
Very Aweh place!
First really good egg fried rice. And big portions.
Noodles were legit but I am a sucker for my rice. I also like the fact that this place doesn't excist.
Your food just arrives.
As always the shredded pork, ginger and chilli, as well as the hot and sour soup were a winner! Delivery was quick as always. I thoroughly enjoyed my choices although I did think the chicken cashew was a bit bland and the chicken over cooked. I've had it before where it was soft and super tasty. Hopefully it will be the same as my first experience next time next time!
Hands-down, my favourite Friday takeaway option. Monk's crispy ginger chicken is actually to die for. I've ordered it about 100 times, and it's hitting excellence 90% of the time. The chilli soy cabbage is also kinda mind-blowing. You will not regret filling up here! Five stars for addictive Chinese deliciousness :)
Monk’s delivers, which is great for those nights you just want to stay in and be a couch potato. The food is really good and the egg fried rice is probably the best I’ve had! Dishes require a separate order of noodles/rice, which isn’t necessarily friendly on the pocket. But the food is worth it, especially if you want to treat yourself to a delicious takeaway!
Looking for an authentic Chinese meal? Here's the real deal - hasn't disappointed in over a year - our family's "must-have" takeaway meal on a Friday evening - Pro tip: order online and dont wait for your food!! Yummy
Delicious generous portion size Chinese takeout. Nice fresh ingredients that aren't over cooked.
Call ahead to order and either have it delivered or collect. Waiting time to collect was 30 minutes and to deliver 1 hour 20 minutes.
My go to meal is pork egg fried rice and sweet and sour pork - so soft and good.
I found their chow mein to be oily on more than one occasion though...
Payment options include cash, card or Snap Scan.
Probably one of the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had. Delicious chicken in oyster sauce with mushroom. Yum! So delicious and the portions are large. My colleagues ordered the crispy pork and ginger which they loved. We all ordered egg fried rice as the extra side. Really impressive Chinese food.
Crispy Ginger Pork with rice, yum.
Monks always delivers before the time they've said and the food is always hot and delicious! My favourite Chinese takeaway.
Authentic Chinese Food, generous portions... Definitely come back again.
Such delicious food. If you're not in the mood to cook I would recommend this place any day. I love the crispy pork and beef with egg fried rice. Pictured below is the leftover food that we put on rolls the next day.
So tasty! And the portions are fairly big, definitely worth it. They also deliver independently if you order directly on their website. Very convenient if you don't have access to Mr D or UberEats.
I always try other Chinese places and I always find myself comparing to Monk's. Monk's has the best tasting as well as most convenient, where you can have it delivered by friendly drivers or call in advance and collect where it will be ready in as quick as 15mins on most days and even get dessert!. Now that they have introduced sushi, it is even better!
Great Chinese food and good value too. I'll definitely be exploring their menu in future. Delivery time took a little longer than I'd have expected (49 min), but not a problem because it was worth the wait and I'll just keep this in mind for next time. Hěn hǎo. Xièxiè
I've only ordered delivered take away which is free if you're in the area! The food is absolutely excellent, and is always delivered piping hot and comes in the Chinese takeaway cartons one sees on TV which just makes me happy. May take a bit long at times, but is worth the wait.
Decent food at affordable prices. I quite like the sweet and sour chicken and the chicken or beef with chilli and peanuts. They do have specials during the week. Good option for take-out and they offer free delivery in surrounding areas.
Monks Chinese concept is brilliant. It is by far the most convenient and delicious Chinese Takeaway in Cape Town. Sometimes certain dishes are unavailable but that's what happens when you are popular. Be warned though, their portions are made for 2 people or someone with the munchies.
New favorite place for chinese, they specialise in deliveries but they do have a walk in. The Chow Mein, Egg Fried Rice, Crispy Spicy Pork, Garlic and Ginger Chicken are all great options. While most fast food chinese places are overly salted. Monks is just right, fresh flavours and ingredients perfectly seasoned.
Monks Chinese is only available for takeaway. The food is slightly pricey for Chinese takeaway however, it is incredibly tasty. You can find typical Chinese dishes in the menu. I would recommend the sweet and sour pork with noodles.
