The Monkey Chews Kitchen Review Summary

The food wasn't bad but I wouldn't say that prices are reasonable at this place.

I've used it several times for lunch.
The omelet rice here is really delicious. The sauce changes with the seasons, so you'll never get bored. (See the store's Instagram for details)

However, it's limited to 10 meals, so it depends on your luck whether you can eat it or not. If you line up at 11:15 on a Saturday, there will probably be about 12 people in front of you.
However, the daily specials are also delicious, so be sure to try them.
Both are 1200 yen and include salad, main dish, and drink. (Add 100 yen if you change the drink to alcohol)

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because even if I got there early and lined up before the store opened, people who came later would merge with people in front and cut in.
I feel depressed when I see people lining up for the limited 10 meals and just walking in.
Still, it's delicious, so I'm going to line up.
There are counter seats, so it's also recommended for solo lunches!

Came in on Friday around 6pm.
Perhaps the timing was perfect, as it was extremely empty and there was always only one other group on the second floor.
I didn't look into the restaurant's reputation, but I went there because I was drawn to the fact that you can eat Mont Saint Michel's omelet.

【order】
·drink
・Appetizer 1000 yen
・Ratatouille 700 yen
・Ayu confit with roe served with pumpkin hummus 1,800 yen
・Omelet (with veal stew? I vaguely remember) 3000 yen
(I vaguely remember including the price)

The fruit drink has mint and tastes like a mojito. It's not too sweet and has a refreshing fruit flavor that makes you want to drink it regardless of the season.

All of the appetizers are delicious, with fresh, French-style combinations of fruit. Although simple, the combination of smoked butter and bread (free refills) is impressive. I ordered a second helping of focaccia.

Ratatouille doesn't have a strong garlic taste, and has a mild, herbal aroma that makes it easy to eat.

At first, I thought the sweetfish confit would have a strong ethnic flavor, but it was just a flavor, and the crispy, fluffy texture was good. It went perfectly with the sweet flavor of the pumpkin hummus, and when I ate it with other menu items, it reset my palate and felt good.

The omelet was fluffy and tasted as expected. The stewed beef was so melty that it melted in your mouth and disappeared as soon as you put it in your mouth along with the omelet. I thought it was a bit pricey at 3000 yen, but if you order a la carte, it was just right for 3 people to share.

3560 yen per person including drink.
Anyway, whatever we ate was delicious, and all the three of us could say was It's delicious....

It was unbelievable!
I will definitely visit again.

[Store introduction]
This restaurant is famous for its omelet rice made with a fluffy soufflé omelet that has an irresistible fluffy texture ✨ Lunch time is limited in quantity, so it will end as soon as it is sold out. Since the opening hours are short, it can be difficult to eat there. It's so popular that there's a line even before it opens! However, once you try this delicious omelet rice, you'll be lining up to eat it! You will be impressed by the special French sauce and the fluffy baking technique! !

For lunch, only the daily menu and omelet rice are served. Dinner is a la carte only. The interior of the store is divided into the first and second floors, and the interior is casual and stylish. It's not crowded so it's easy to go eat alone! Please note that payment is only in cash.

Please enjoy authentic French omelet rice! !

Mont Saint Michel omelet rice:
I've been interested in omelet rice ever since I started living in Kamata. The timing wasn't quite right, but I was finally able to eat it! ! All of our customers ordered this omelet rice, which shows how popular it is. The special mushroom cream sauce and soufflé omelet went perfectly together, and it was an omelet rice you couldn't taste anywhere else😳It was one of the best omelet rice in Tokyo! ! What's more, 1200 yen, which includes omelet rice, salad, and a drink, is a great value for money! ! The omelet rice is bigger than you imagined, so you'll be full lol🤣
The only disappointing thing was that it was crowded, but I had to wait over 30 minutes for my order to be served. At that time, I was left alone without being asked. I was disappointed in the service since the omelette rice was definitely delicious😅If I have time, I would like to go eat there again.

I wanted to eat it, so I went to La Mer Poulard.
Go to this restaurant with a trained chef.

If you go 20 minutes before opening, you'll be the first one.
The line quickly filled up in less than 5 minutes.

And the long-awaited omelet rice.
As expected, it feels fluffy.
The rice and sauce go great together.
The sauce uses spinach.

The large portion was completely eaten.
It's definitely a repeat.

There were about 15 people including me.
When I left the store, I saw a sign that said lunch was sold out.
It was out.
