    The restaurant is very cute and has a casual vibe. We were seated near the live music while the musician was on a break. When he resumed the music was uncomfortably loud. The food was the big disappointment. Fish in the fish tacos did not taste fresh. How can fish tacos in Hawaii not be fresh???The fish sandwich was about the same. Portions were very small for the price. The fish and chips were good and the bulgogi tacos were excellent. Overall our family was very disappointed.

    Food was good but service was rushed. Appetizers and food were brought out at the same time. One of the servers dropped ketchup on my son when he delivered our food. Another server dropped a glass nearby that shattered on another guest.

    Our party of seven dined at Monkeypod and it was absolutely fabulous. The place itself is beautiful and the service was outstanding. Our server was truly fantastic. We are locals and we will definitely be returning again and again. Also worth noting that they have an excellent Happy Hour.

    Good food. Good service. Though they were busy, wait staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. I had the pork bulgolgi tacos which were delicious. Partner had lamb chops which were also well prepared. As always, though, the pieces of banana cream and coconut cream pies were the stars of the show!!!
