From the moment we arrived, we had so much fun at this wonderful restaurant. The owner, Mr Raja Sagaran - or “Raj” to his regulars, is a charming 65 year old gent from Penang with many a story to tell. The restaurant is open on...two sides, so we enjoyed listening to the rain pelting down. Raj cooked my wife’s king prawns himself- having donned his special apron. We will be back for more fun tomorrow.More
We had a wonderful evening at Brass Monkey. Lots of laughs and good food. The owner is an absolute gem who spoilt us with attention and great humour. We hope to dine with them again before we leave KK.
When I asked the locals if they know where I could get a proper steak, they pointed me in the direction of Brass Monkey and they were right. Now everytime I'm back in KK, that's where I'd head as its now my mot favourite place...to go for a steak. You can't go wrong with Brass Monkey. The owner, Rajah is also now a good friend whom I enjoy a beer of two with, every now and then. A must try when visiting KK!More
Great bar with unique attire, good food and fantastic hospitality. Both the owner and the staff are very friendly and create a relaxed atmosphere. The service and food is excellent and would highly suggest you to visit and enjoy an evening at the brass monkey!
Beautiful place, best food in Kota kinabulu and the cocktails are amazing A must check place when you come
What a fantastic evening we have just had with Raj and his team at Brass Monkey. The service was outstanding and the food matched it. Shame we have only got 1 night left or we would definitely be going back again. If you are looking...for a good meal and great hospitality make sure you go here. Thank you so much for making our family feel so welcome. The Jones family.More
the best restaurant in kk, the tomahawk is very nice and a must if u go !! i celebrated my mum’s birthday here and the shop owner and waiters are very nice !! they suprised us with a cake and a balloons too !!
Very nice restaurant if you enjoy western food dinning. Staffs are friendly and food is tasty. Not a 5 star restaurant but the food is 5 star feel. Good for couples dinner and gatherings.
Ordered the steak and crab spaghettis. The taste was relatively good but not I think they could do better with presentation. The restaurant has a rustic feel however the service is really good. The Manager is confident to walk around speaking to the customers inquiring...on their dining experience.More
The owner and the staffs is friendly and looked they have enough experience about their menu. Their foods was delicious with reasonable prices.
We stumbled on the Brass Monkey 4 hours before opening time. The guy at the entrance stated that they weren't open but inquired what sort of a meal it was that we were after. With no kitchen staff, it was the owner, Raj, who donned...the apron and put a meal together for us. That was the start of a relationship that kept us coming back for more over the next 3 weeks. The knowledgeable and well traveled Raj, together his wonderful friendly staff, make this more than just an eating experience. The menu is varied and there is also a certain flair. Always nice to be surprised, like the Grand Marnier-mango desert that wasn't on the menu! The restaurant does not have scenic views but the decor is lovely and artistic in an unusual way. There are other regular diners that frequent the Brass Monkey too. Just before sunset a quarrel of sparrows come to visit Raj for a feed of broken rice. A South African, a Kiwi and a Scotsman walked into a restaurant..... The rest is history ..... and hopefully we get to visit again soon.More

If you’re in KK this is a must visit! The curried mutton stew was really tasty! Their drinks and customer service is superb.
Their food served is still great and taste good too and will come back for more one of these days with friends.
Food was one of the best I’ve been to. Hard to choose as it’s varied in style as the owner has many influences but the curried mutton stew was out of this world! My partners dish was equally tasty. As it was quiet we g...out chanting to the owner who was a really friendly interesting character. If you’re in Kota Kinabalu this really is a must visitMore
Brass Monkey Cafe & Bar is a highly recommended place to go. It offers cosy ambiance with unique decor, great hospitality rendered by Raja and his team, and awe inspiring gourmet food served. The Grill Mustard Chicken is highly recommended.
