Celebrating a couple of birthdays with a stay at Aulani. Wandered across the road as part of last minute dinner plans and couldn’t be happier we did. Food and service were spectacular. The raw plate was the best I have ever had and the cream pies were simply exquisite - when the crust has you raving you are into something good. I would highly recommend. Oh, and the mai tai’s - works of art. Thanks for a great meal and wonderful evening.
We sat at their outside patio to enjoy the breeze and take in the scenery. It was clean and the tables had shade. Our server (I unfortunetly can not remember her name) was incredible. She was friendly, patient, and attentive. Most of what we ordered was at her recommendation and she did not disappoint! Everything from appetizer to dessert was fantastic, fresh, and full of flavor. This was my second visit here and definitely not my last. The pineapple cream pie was the best!
Spectacular food drinks and service. Fish tacos have room for improvement but everything else was out of this world!
The raw plate was excellent
The jalapeño mashed potatoes are a must try
The fish sandwich was really good
The strawberry pie was life changing
Monkeypod Kitchen is such a great spot. It is within walking distance of almost all of the Ko Olina Resorts. They do happy hour from 3-5:30pm and again from 9-11pm. During that time almost all apps are discounted, pizzas are $10, drinks discounted and more. The food is farm to table and is delicious. I would highly recommend the strawberry cream pie for dessert (it's large enough to share!)
This was our third visit to Monkeypod Restaurant in Ko Olina and we have been very pleased everytime. The menu, ambience and service are all excellent. I highly recommend the Macademia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi! Enjoy!
Great place, great food, and wonderful time for my wife and me! Highly recommend it. Only problem is that it is a little pricey, but other than that, great atmosphere, service, and experience.
Our entire party raved about the food. Atmosphere was nice, and wait staff was awesome!!! Big John was playing, and he was phenomenal! Highly recommend!!
Killer Mai Tai, Lobster Deviled Eggs, Potstickers, Noodles, and the best cream pie too! We were truly knocked out to have such a great meal and great service too, and at Happy Hour! Will be back!
Unique food in a great setting, by far the best spot on the leeward side of O’ahu. Ahi steak, potsticker, it all rocks.
Great little place bar staff are awesome. Mai Tais are the bomb!! Super happy hour!! Recommend!! ���
AWSOME Happy hour! The pizzas are so good, and the best Mai Tai I’ve had on the island so far! Not to mention the wait staff was super fun and friendly.

The food was amazing as always but Alissa was the best part of Are meal And the music made it just amazing and then I got engaged so please let Alissa know she will be getting an invite to are wedding
Amazing. One of the highlights of my trip to Oahu. The food here is simply great - order any of the seafood and you can’t go wrong.
The pies are GREAT! Had the coconut one and it was too good. The service is also really high quality. Definitely one the best restaurants in the area.
Great food and fun. Bar is super fun and the menu boasts lots of options for lunch and dinner. This location was close to our hotel and nice for a little change of pace.

The place had a nice vibe, good food, and friendly service.
The food was good, the fish was fresh and delicious. Very tender and smooth. The pizza was nice and cheesy. The steak was buttery smooth, tender, and melts your mouth.
The service was nice, but the interaction felt a bit forced. They were kind and always made sure our drinks were always topped off.
The atmosphere is better for those who are in an upbeat mood or would like to party. Not really a family-oriented restaurant at night. Still, an amazing place to eat at but it will be loud while there at night.
Convenient restaurant if you are staying at Aulani resort. Food is good, nice atmosphere and the service is great. The Broccoli salad is as tasty and different but small, be aware. The smoothie was excellent
Monkeypod Kitchen is a popular spacious restaurant in the Ko Olina resort. They have fantastic happy hour specials which rival other restaurants in the area. I was a bit disappointed with the wings appetizer, all drumsticks 🍗and somewhat burnt/excessively charred. 😕 But our server was attentive, and it is a lovely spot with beautiful views. I would go back but wouldn't order the wings. The pizzas were tasty 😋 and part of the happy hour specials.
We always try to make it in when we visit. The food and live music make for a great pairing.
Tonight was our favorite John Akapo. Love him on the guitar.
The ahi steak was wonderful as well as the lobster and seafood pasta. The pies are always tops (banana cream tonight) and I think my daughter approached Nirvana when she tried the Sage Creamery sorbet (strawberry-guava).
We had a wonderful birthday celebration for our 19 year old granddaughter tonight at MonkeyPod Kitchen. The decor is inviting and relaxing. Our waitstaff, Joey, took good care of us the whole night through. He always had a smile on his face and was very helpful when ordering. Our food came out freshly prepared and locally sourced in what seemed like mere seconds. All the food was appetizing and delicious. Joey took the lead when time to celebrate the birthday girl with lighting the candle on the Matcha Cream Pie. Would definitely go again to this popular restaurant...awesome vibes here.
Food was so delicious. The poke tacos are phenomenal, the mai tai was the best I’ve had, and the live music provided a great ambiance. Service was amazing. Glad I spent my evening here
The food was amazing and the service was very good. My only recommendation, is to get more air movers for the upper level. The sun on the second deck can be brutal. We loved the farm to table food and it was amazingly prepared. The steak special was, hands down, the best I had on the island.

First food and drink experience in Hawaii. We saw a couple talk about how great this restaurant is in a YouTube video and specifically about their Happy Hour. We landed in Oahu (first time for us) and drove straight to Monkeypod Kitchen as it is located right across the street from Disney’s Aulani Resort where we are staying. We each ordered the Mai Tai (2 x $13 happy hour price)as we had not had one before, and we shared a flight of beer ($18 happy hour price) . We chose three beers and let the bartender choose the 4th one. For food, we ordered a Kayla Pork & Pineapple Pizza ($22) and Poke Tacos ($24).
The pizza was good…if you enjoy pork, this had a nicely flavored pork. The pesto sauce was very mild and we did not have jalapenos on the pizza as it usually is served. This was a good pizza although, I would have enjoyed stronger flavors. I would still order this again.
The Poke Tacos were really good.
Our bartender was Chandel and she was pretty awesome. In the beer flight, she chose our 4th one which was called Honolulu Brew Works Kewalo’s Cream Ale which was the best of the four on our beer flight and really really good. In fact we left the restaurant and bought some in cans to take back to our room at the resort to enjoy throughout the week.
