Wrapping up the year of the Ox and welcoming the year of the Tiger tomorrow!! On this Lunar New Year Eve day, we gave thanks to Heaven and Earth, Kitchen’s God, and Monkey King (Buddhist) for guiding us through another hard year for the restaurant industry. Tho it’s hard, we’re giving thanks that our doors are open, lights are on, 40+ staff are employed, family and staff are healthy, and our family of customers are well. Today, we also pray that they will protect us for the coming year. Pray that GOD help us work in harmony, family and staff stay healthy, and our family of customers will go home safely after dining at our establishments. We pray for so long one staff famously said all her sins are cleansed just watching the process. Aside from the religious aspect, we want to thank YOU for supporting this small family business for the past 10 years and allowing us to grow and expand and test the water while doing what we passionately love..cooking for the most diverse and amazing customers in the world!! We want to wish you all a healthy, prosperous, and adventurous YEAR OF THE TIGER! #恭喜发财 literally means I HOPE YOU GET RICH!! Year of the Tiger personalities are really similar to the king of the jungle, attention seekers, brave, and are natural born leaders. Famous tiger people Stevie Wonder

Following the lead of the music industry, we will be closed tomorrow Tuesday, June 2, in support of and .

The world has an immeasurable debt to the African American community. From my daughters obsession with hip-hop dance and her love for her African American hip hop teachers.-to our African American mailman neighbor-to the very young African American cardiologist that grieved along with my family at the hospital -to the beautiful African American judge that dismissed my speeding ticket in Oakland. Diversity and Creativity from music to food and everything in between would not exist were it not for their contributions. The entire staff at Monkey King are observing Blackout Tuesday to stand with our African American brothers and sisters fighting against and .

Monkey King Pub will be closed today and tomorrow due to City of Alameda putting a 8 PM curfew in place. Monkey King Brewery will be open 12-8. We are heartbroken by the senseless death of and so many others like Mr. Floyd. As one of the many thousands of Chinese-Vietnamese families that escaped and settle in the inner city , we know and feel the same pain as many of our family of customers feel. Protest is the only way to demand change as the protest movement did during . But, please don’t loot businesses as most businesses are barely hanging on due to covid-19. Looting them will be the final nail to the coffin. Many of our neighbors are hoping to get back to work soon. This is our home, our community, and our future. Looting will take away the most important message of this protest—Is for justice and change and improvement!!

We’re just good at cooking food, nothing political with this post.

Please stay safe!!
