The Mad Monkfish

The Mad Monkfish Welcome to The Mad Monkfish's home on Facebook. Great food like jazz is spontaneous and joyful. We love to jam on Asian culinary themes.

Nothing warms the palate like an explosion of flavor or the heart like a burst of song! We are passionate about ethnic flavors & jazz, and that’s why we’ve branded our unique take on sushi & Asian specialties: Thelonious Monkfish. Our menu reflects both our respect for gustatory tradition and our sense of play and innovation. Our fish is so fresh it blows its own horn! The interior features reclai

med old-growth oak, old barn board, plush brown leather chairs, waterfall slate mosaics, sconces reminiscent of puffer fish and a section with tatami mats for traditional Japanese seating.

“From the excellent service to the fantastic flavors, this eclectic Asian eatery got it right. And all at an affordable price. Whether you’re a longtime sushi lover, or brand new to the dish altogether, Thelonious Monkfish can open your eyes and ears to a new dining experience.” --Weekly Dig
