Monkeypod Kitchen - Waikiki

Had lunch here and ordered the roasted chicken wings, Cheeseburger and noodles. The chicken wings were delicious. The Cheeseburger was fine but we got charged extra for fries, even though we didnt ask for it and it wasnt mention on the menu anything about fries, so that was really odd. Noodles was good too. For our last night in hawaii, we thought we would end it with some good food. Understandable that it was busy for dinner. We did have to wait a bit before our server came back to get our order. We ordered the chicken wings again and this time tried the pizza and lobster pasta. The chicken wings came out and it wasnt hot, it was lukewarm, so it didnt taste as good as the first time. The reason for my rating is the pizza. The pizza came out and it was the most depressing pizza ive seen in my life. The toppings was just in the center, lots of crust and just not generous at all. This was also odd as we were seated at the bar stools in front of the pizza station and I could see they were making the pizzas with no issues on sparing toppings. The pasta was OK but not worth the expensive price. I probably wouldn't recommend going for dinner.

Monkeypod Kitchen was one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. The Mai Tai was easily one of the best we’ve had—perfectly balanced and definitely worth trying. The chicken wings were flavorful and cooked perfectly, the corn chowder was rich and comforting, the pizza was fresh with a great crispy crust, and we finished with the banana cream pie, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. What truly sets this place apart is the beautiful ocean view. Enjoying great food and drinks while overlooking the water made for a relaxing and memorable dining experience. If you’re visiting Oahu, Monkeypod Kitchen is a must-visit. Great food, amazing drinks, excellent service, delicious desserts, and stunning ocean views—I’d happily come back again!

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.

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.
