Monkeypod Kitchen - Waikiki

“10/10 experience! Food was amazing. Ordered the garlic truffle fries and Mai Thais to start. For main dishes we ordered the saimin and macadamia nut crusted fish. Everything was absolutely mouth watering. Our server Anthony was very personable and helpful with my questions about the menu. Location was great with a view of the water. Would absolutely return!!”

“Love the ocean breeze, shade, and good food.... gotta go. They're at the back of the hotel and the ocean meets the dining deck. But the most important experience is the DIVA, Jeff, he made it all the more enjoyable. Ahi tacos were amazing... with some garlic fries too boot. Jeff helped my wife find the right cocktail, and while I enjoyed the taste of the mai-tai, it wasn't for her and he nailed it withthe Ube Rey... more of a dessert cocktail. As for me, the manfuego was magnificent, spicy with some tahin on the rim. Lamb sausage pizza was a great lunch choice. Good luck getting Jeff as im certain he's requested à ton. Update: 2nd time in, Brandon rocked it: chill vibes and great attitude.”

“Had a really great dinner at Monkeypod Kitchen. The whole experience felt polished. Service was friendly, relaxed, and attentive, and the atmosphere had a great energy to it. The food was honestly excellent across the board. The fish tacos were fresh and packed with flavour, the seared ahi was perfectly cooked, and even the salads were great. The shrimp skillet was another standout. You can tell there’s real attention to quality and balance in the menu. Dessert absolutely lived up to the hype too. The lime pie was unreal. Cocktails were creative and well-made, and overall everything felt fresh and thoughtful without trying too hard. Definitely an excellent meal in Waikiki. I highly recommend you check them out.”

“The food was so delicious and our server, Kainalu was so kind and was very helpful in deciding which dishes we should get. The shrimp appetizer was so amazing and honest probably the most delicious shrimp I’ve ever had. The poke tacos were also amazing and the fish was so fresh. Many restaurants never get Caesar salad right but our Caesar salad was perfect. If you are contemplating what restaurant to go to, this is the one. Great food and great service.”

“Everything about this place was amazing. If you are in the Waikiki Beach area and know you are going to have to spend a good amount of money no matter where you go to eat you might as well go somewhere that is a great value for the money. This place is not cheap, but you get WAY MORE for your money here than you do anywhere else in the area. We tried the pizza and it's amazing, sea bass special that day was the best, bolgogi pork tacos were phenomenal, you really can't go wrong. We loved it and will be back next time we are in the area!”
