Monsoon isn't that good of a restaurant. It's owned by a group out of Wisconsin called Mo's Restaurants. The bar is a pretty cool place to hang out after work and grab a drink. The decor is modern asian. A bit like a scaled down streamlined version of PF Chang. We sat at the busy bar area rather than the quiet dining area.
They have a small happy hour with hot wings. These things are hottttt and pretty tasty. We also tried the $6 fried wontons that came thin and with dipping sauce. If we ignored that they call these things wontons, they were quite enjoyable. We also tried the Szechuan chicken. Not so tasty and not so Szechuan in flavor. Very much lacking in taste. Their menu isn't extensive, and the lack of tastiness in the food we did have showed us why. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind hanging out at the bar after work with some friends.

Let me begin by saying that the service was great! But the food was some of the WORST I have ever had! The crab rogoons, or whatever they were called, were recommended by the waiter but were tasteless, and there were like two bites of them! And the sauce they came with was supposed to be, I am guessing here, like a sweet peach or something, but it was awful!!! Completely tasteless!!!!!! And then there was the spicy tuna roll, also recommended by the waiter...AWFUL! Tasted like canned tuna mixed with red pepper and a little mayonnaise with yellow and green food coloring thrown in...THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!! The glass of merlot I had was decent, and, at $6 a glass, reasonably priced...so if you want to stop in for a drink...I say go for it! The service is good, but the food sucks!!!!!!SORRY!

Service was good. Food was awful. Drinks were great and priced reasonably. Any great comments posted about this resturant were most likely posted by friends/family of the mgmt. Pathetic.
