5 Must-Try Dishes at Monkey 68 Sushi & Bar

When it comes to sushi in Alpharetta, Monkey 68 Sushi & Bar stands out for its perfect balance of tradition and innovation. Our chefs take pride in blending authentic Japanese techniques with bold, creative flavors — and every dish tells a story of craftsmanship and passion.

If you’re visiting us for the first time (or the fifth), these are five signature dishes you absolutely can’t miss.

1. Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice

A Monkey 68 favorite — and for good reason. Each bite combines a golden-brown, perfectly seared block of sushi rice topped with our signature spicy tuna mix, creamy aioli, and a touch of jalapeño for heat. It’s the ideal balance of crunch, spice, and richness, and a crowd-pleaser from the very first bite.

2. Love Me Tender

Our namesake roll captures the spirit of Monkey 68 — playful, bold, and elegant. With Shrimp Tempura, Cucumber inside with Japanese A5 Wagyu on Top seared to a perfect Medium, Green Onions, and Japanese BBQ Sauce. The Love Me Tender Roll layers texture and flavor in every bite. It’s a true reflection of our fusion-inspired sushi style with our attempt at a delicious surf and turf in a sushi roll!

3. Signature Nigiri

A celebration of craftsmanship and purity — our Signature Nigiri highlights the beauty of simplicity, where every detail matters. Each piece begins with hand-formed sushi rice, lightly seasoned and perfectly tempered, topped with premium cuts of fish selected daily by our chefs. From buttery bluefin toro to delicate Hokkaido scallop and pristine salmon belly, every bite is balanced in flavor, texture, and temperature. Finished with subtle brushstrokes of house-blended soy and precise garnishes, our nigiri embodies the essence of Japanese tradition — elevated through the creative spirit of Monkey 68.

4. Angry Ribs

Tender, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs braised slow and glazed in our signature sweet and spicy gochujang sauce — a bold Korean-inspired blend of chili, garlic, and umami richness. Each rib is torched to perfection, creating a caramelized edge that locks in flavor and adds just the right hint of smokiness. The result is a perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth — a dish that’s as fiery in flavor as it is unforgettable.

5. Brussel Sprouts

Crisp-tender Brussels sprouts tossed in a balanced sweet and spicy glaze, delivering a perfect harmony of caramelized sweetness and subtle heat. Finished with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and a touch of fresh herbs, each bite bursts with flavor — a vibrant, savory side that’s both comforting and crave-worthy, perfectly complementing our sushi and entrees.
