Monkeypod Kitchen

Food and Service were great today! Thank you for taking care of us, Kylie! Loved the live music as well! For food, we ordered the Lobster Deviled Eggs, Cucumber and Avocado Salad, Bulgogi Tacos and Fresh Caught Fish Tacos. For Dessert we ordered the Coconut Crème Pie. All food and cocktails were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back soon!

Could not recommend this place highly enough! We went during Happy Hour - best value for your money. Deals on drinks, apps (half off), and pizza. Enjoyed the wings, Mai Tais, fries, Caesar salad, and mushroom pizza. Go during HH - you'll be so glad!

This place NEVER disappoints! This visit I was craving their always amazing breading pudding. The flavor of bread pudding changes but it is always so good. We also grab a couple mocktails that were super tasty . The hostess again meet us with kindness and lead us to an outside table as the bar was full. It was a nice night so we didn't mind. Love the feel of all the sting lights and music playing in back ground.

Great experience overall. Each item we ordered was flavorful and interesting, and the service was quick despite it being a large footprint. Live music was just starting as we'd finished our dinner around 7pm on a Wednesday, during tourist off-peak season. I can imagine it's really popping during the summer.Don't be fooled by the humble appearance of the jalapeño mashed potatoes; they're astounding. I might not be able to eat other mashed potatoes now.First time having saimin, a Hawaiian version of pho. It was good, with lots of smoked pork flavor. I LOVED the fish & chips, which had a light tempura breading so the focus was on the freshness of the fish. It came with a little ginger-y green slaw that I could've eaten a giant bowl of. Kind of reminded me of a dry kimchi.The restaurant is just feet away from an Island Country Market, where we picked up dessert. It's also next to Black Sheep Creamery, if you want sweets that aren't on their menu.

We had dinner reservations at Mina, but my daughter wanted us to experience THE Mai Tai, when ch was at Monkeypod Kitchen. It was so potent I couldn't get through the whole cocktail, but I gave it a try. Go for it!16

This is the second Monkeypod location I've been to in Hawaii, and it definitely lived up to expectations! The atmosphere is always lively, the drinks are great, and they have a solid Happy Hour. It's a popular spot, so it's always busy, but that just adds to the energy.I've always enjoyed sitting at the bar--the service was fantastic both times we visited. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations.Overall, a great spot for drinks and a fun vibe. Just be prepared for a crowd, especially during peak hours.

Always come here once when we're staying at the lagoons nearby. Happy hour is the only thing we can justify paying for, but it's a decent deal. Pizzas for $14 and half off apps (non seafood).

We've been to Monkeypod in Maui, so we knew what to expect. Monkeypod is consistent with good decent food. It's definitely not a 5 star restaurant, but good overall. What we ordered;Roasted chicken wings - it was happy hour so we got them half price - great solid wings, but probably wouldn't order the normal price wings. Shrimp and mushroom pot stickers- we loved the flavor and dipping sauce, very good!Garlic truffle fries - these are actually some of my favorite fries I've ever had, we loved them!Mixed greens salad with beets and chèvre , so yummy, if you love beets get this!!Fish tacos - excellent Seared ahi steak - awesome, the jalapeños mashed taters and soy sesame sauce are a must to accompany the mild ahi. Fish and chips - quality, my son loved them. Kalua pork and pineapple pizza - everyone loved the pizza, great flavor and the touch of heat with the jalapeño - yes! The staff was friendly and vibe and atmosphere is very cool.

Every time we come to Hawaii we eat here the first night. You can't beat the friendly service, the strong drinks, and the live music. Some standouts-big kahuna burger- small but super filling-bulgogi tacos- fire-mai thai- sip without straw, best mai thai of ur life

Every time we come to visit Hawaii, we always stop by this restaurant. Food is always a decent price for being in a tourist area, quality is outstanding, and the ambiance is always casual and family friendly.Tonight I ordered the chefs special (it was a green curry with ahi tuna and shrimp), and it absolutely blew my mind. One of the best and most flavorful curries I have ever had, and the rice that came on the side of it was packed with flavor as well. The broth was smooth and coconut forward, and paired really well with the peanuts sprinkled throughout. The seafood floating around were cooked perfectly, and the veggies (mushrooms, onions, jalapeños) really balanced out the flavor and provided a great crunch to each bite. Highly recommend getting this. We also ordered the fish tacos and the margarita pizza, and both of those entrees were outstanding as well.While there can be a little bit of a wait, it is definitely worth it. Our servers were super amazing, had great menu insights, and quickly took our orders and brought our food despite the entire restaurant being packed. There was live music playing, which was at the perfect sound level, and very pleasant to listen to.Overall, a great family friendly atmosphere, amazing staff, outstanding food quality and even better flavors. Definitely a must try restaurant if you are in the area.
