Great Mai Tai's and great Happy Hour specials! Quite busy but properly spaced apart for covid regulations.

Everything from Monkeypod is amazing. I highly recommend the ravioli and fries as starters. The staff is courteous and helpful.

The corn chowder was an amazing app. The fish and chips were delish. The mahi so tasty. The strawberry (cream cheese based) pie was an unexpected highlight. Wait staff was not not on their game the night we visited but no reason not to try this place. Live music during COVID was the food my soul needed.

Monkeypod has the best Mai Thai on the island. I’ve lived here for several years and that is a fact. Come here for the Mai Thai and stay for the pizza. Other entrees are pretty good but can’t go wrong with a quality thin crust pizza.

Mai Tai and dessert were great. Some of my friends really liked their chicken wings but I thought they were ok. Tacos were fine.

We came here twice, both during happy hour while drink and some foods were lower priced. Both drinks and food we're excellent. Best pizza in HI. Fast and friendly service. Live entertainment was a mix. First visit the musician was amazing. Second visit another musician was playing and he was just ok.

Favorite restaurant on Oahu! Love the happy hours, live music and staff is attentive and knowledgeable! Great drink menu and the food was devine. I ate here at least once a week during my 3 month stay in Kolina.

We had the fish tacos and the meat pizza. Both were excellent. And I forget the name of my cocktail but it had coffee rum and cold brew and coconut something and it was delicious! Staff was attentive and accommodating to children. Live singer was super talented. Overall a great experience.

The best time to go to monkey pod kitchen at the koolina resort is during happy hour because all the appetizers are half off I highly recommend this place if you're on a budget and you want to have great food and a great atmosphere. The only downside to it is the loud music that they play and the people that sing don't sing that well

I heard so much about this place and wanted to try it being a local from makaha we love good meal out but l have to say the music is way to loud but the manager took really good care of us and the fish and chips were excellent.l prefer Roy's the food is much better

Another great experience! Food is outstanding. Service is absolutely top notch. Erica was terrific and took great care of us. Great to see Jenna again too!
Looking forward to going back to visit with our friends at Monkeypod. Our favorite spot for great food and our island ohana.

It's a casual, yet upscale atmosphere with top notch food, alcohol, and service. Although I was cheap and only got a burger and fries, it was a delightful meal, and the chocolate pie was to die for. I'd highly recommend for a more upscale feel, yet without truly busting the bank.

This was by far the best meal I've had in my life. The place is super close to Aulani, less than a 5 minute walk. The Ahi Tuna tacos are surreal. The pork tacos are the most delicious tacos I've ever had. The lobster deviled eggs are incredible. Highly recommend it.

Make sure you order a Mai Tai

This is an AWESOME local establishment that we thoroughly enjoyed as we ended our full day, with cocktails & appetizer happy hour We hope everyone stays safe during the storm & we hope to return again in the coming days to enjoy this new local favorite place we were introduced to by our hosting friends while here on vacation
Aloha

One of the best places on the island. The Mai Tai is one of the best I've ever tasted. Just be careful as they'll sneak up on you. Definitely hit uo happy hour for drinks and truffle fries. If you stay for dinner yiu won't be disappointed.

Nice restaurant and cool atmosphere. They have some great happy hour specials, and not just for drinks, their apps are half price, pizza is cheaper and some other selections. Call in ahead of time to beat the wait, especially with large groups. We had 12 in our group and they were very accommodating. Burgers were amazing! And their French Fries are the best we've had in a long time.
