Had a awesome evening here. A vibrant and colourful place with a great menu and cheeky cocktails. We shared a few dishes, fire cracker chicken, prawn curry and duck salad. All were bang-on authentic dishes and the service was pretty good for a busy place. We loved being able to watch the chefs at work too.
Will definitely be going back.

I like to get here when in Wellington, it’s the best restaurant for fun and casual dining. It has a young easy-going vibe, there’s a great cocktail list, a diverse range of South East Asian dishes and service is really efficient.

Ok sold on this place they have never disappointed with their service or the food which is excellent. If you want a dining experience that will savour for a long long time and have you travelling all the way to Wellington to experience please please go here. My partner and I are devoted customers and we come from Whakatane. He has the yellow curry and I have the fish and prawns dish beautiful.

Have been here a couple of times for both late lunch and also dinner. Dishes were averagely sized and the decor was amazing. Lots of details have been pinned into and trully reflects the South East Asian concept. Menu offers a fairly extensive option and the waitresses are friendly. A little pricey compared to other Asian restaurants but I am happy to pay the price. Fire Cracker chicken is a must try dish!

We came here on new years eve for a casual and didn’t expect to be seated right away as it was jam packed, as it should be. We were told that there could be an hour wait, “Sure”, and why not. It’s buzzing and lively just as I remembered it. Had cocktails and prawn crackers at the bar and it’s so nice to see cocktails being garnished properly. However it was a mission to find somewhere to lean or sit around the bar.
Eventually we got a table and a waitress came over right away to greet us and to go over the menu. Very helpful and friendly she was. We ordered a glass of pinot gris, a Thai beer (Chang beer) and Krishna Pakhora to start. Our drinks were served promptly by this (really) charming waiter. Entree arrived not long after that and very tasty it was. On a down note, we had to wait quite a bit for the rest of our order to be taken but eventually we got there.
My partner who’s not a big eater had Malai chicken with onion and garlic naan while I ordered Singapore noodles (extra hot). We felt a bit lost in translation with the naan bread as it supposed to be garlic and caramelized onion but the way it came out was rather plain with a small dash of chilli sauce. The waitress checked and confirmed that it was but still. By the way be careful when you request extra hot because it’s fiery hot, even for me. Beautiful flavour though.
For a finale we went for a pineapple cake with tropical fruit syrup and coconut gelato. Divine! We also had some cocktails to finish off our dinner.
Overall the staff are very attentive, friendly, professional yet personal and helpful. High quality food whether it’s for sharing or not and suitable for all taste buds. I can understand why Monsoon Poon is so popular. Will be back for sure.
