    Was a fantastic experience overall. A little on the pricey side, but the service and quality of food is amazing. I would definitely check it out if you’re in Waikiki or have the other location.

    Can’t beat the location, ocean front. Bright and airy room. Servers all friendly. Don’t rush you. Relaxing and delicious breakfast meal. And a very nice touch for special occasions…with a yummy slice of pie! Mahalo Monkeypod! Keep up the good work :)

    Monkeypod Kitchen Waikiki had astonishing ocean views breathe taking. Normally attend the one in Koolina but decided to give this one a shot to celebrate a birthday gathering. No dissapointment. Our waiter was KOBE he was outstanding new the menu inside and out with highly recommended options.

    Great service from Ally. Views and ambience were spectacular. Ocean views aplenty. Food was pretty good. Nothing inventive or spectacular, but solid. They really push their Mai Tais which were very tart with a thick and super sweet foam which reduces the size of the cocktail by a good amount. Not even close to others I’ve had in Waikiki.
