Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Maalaea

Great food. Not tons on each plate but the kitchen is quick so keep the menu and just order more delicious food :)

Fabulous as always. The food was delicious. Large dinner salads were shareable so we could save room for dessert which is not to be missed! Service was impeccable—both our table server, beverage refill Wed, table clearers, and a manager check-in. We came after sunset, so didn’t get the view this time which is spectacular. The outdoor lanai area was quieter than the main room and delightful.

Service was quite good with the exception of food prep time. Server was outstanding. Food was great. Lobster perfectly done. Same with Ahi steak. Everyone was super happy with their meals. Ambiance was beach restaurant normal, with relatively high noise levels. Place was super clean and visually uncluttered. Seating was decently spaced and comfortable. Music from other side of restaurant was muted, muddy, and unidentifiable - and mostly more a part of the background noise than it was contributing to the ambiance. Need a better way to balance that across the whole place. View was of course awesome. Value was ok if you account for usual resort area price inflation.

We’ve eaten here 2x on this trip and have another reservation for tomorrow. Lunch was fantastic - the mango bbq salad was so good! For breakfast the eggs and potatoes were delicious and my husband enjoyed them. I had the açaí bowl and it’s hands down one of the best I have ever had. Definitely ordering it again tomorrow!!! Don’t skip this place! Also, I dined here for dinner years ago on a previous trip and it was phenomenal then, too!!!

I would have come to Monkeypod every day of this vacation if I could have. The food and drinks are all such high quality and the service was amazing! Our favorites were the chicken wings, fish and chips, and the Monkeypod Mai Tai (the virgin Mai Tai was also great). Will definitely return our next time in Maui!
