Best Hawaiian Restaurants in Kahului

This place is incredible!! The service was warm and friendly but the food…Ya’ll the food was incredible!! If you don’t start with the ribs…I can’t. I wish I got a picture of them, the presentation was fabulous and the meat fell off the bone! We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Valentine's Day lunch at the Plantation House. We were seated at the open window at a table for two with a commanding view of the links and ocean afar. As if on cue the whales were breeching. I ordered the Catch of the Day, Mahi Mahi with a lobster sauce (40 something$) and my wife had the omelette. We enjoyed two cocktails, I the Majestic Mai Tai and she the Pain in the Coconut. Both drinks were very good and presented with the expected Hawaiian flair. Our server, whose name escapes me at the moment was very pleasant, helpful and guided us perfectly in our menu choices. The rest of our experience was orchestrated by the Tradewinds.

Monkeypod Kitchen was amazing. It surpassed my expectations, we had an amazing dinner. We ordered the seabass special and the ahi steak. Both were phenomenal. Mai tais and espresso martinis were delicious. Strawberry pie was to die for. We would definitely go back again. Also props to our amazing server, Ryan. He was attentive and gave great suggestions!

Absolutely love it there! Ambiance is lovely and menu choices are great! Carolina and Margarita are wonderful hostesses/servers!
