Their barbecued ribs are surprisingly special and fall-off-the-bone-tender. My husband really enjoyed the fish tacos. We both had grilled chicken on our second visit.

We found the service to be very efficient and friendly despite the place being super crowded and busy both visits. The milkshakes are a bit spendy with the 'daily special' running $18!

Ruby our server takes our order, and sends it in. Time goes by and Ruby comes by looking at worried that we might get mad with her. She tells us that "wifi went down so our order didn't print in the kitchen, and she will it through the kitchen". Things happen. Our food comes out and it was good. While we were eating something else happened so I went to talk with another staff member, who took care of this issue. This turned out to be case of if it will go wrong it will. The manager was told about all that happened and stopped by visit. He took care of things, and asked that we give them a try again. We did, and here what happened. We had just lunch near by and wanted to have one of the various milkshakes. So we stopped in a few days later. The was fairly busy, and hostess sat us at a table in front of the counter. The server came over to take our order in asking us what would like to eat? My wife tells her, that didn't want anything to eat since we just had lunch, and only wanted milkshakes. The servers face soured a little hearing this. She walks behind the counter, turns to lean against the counter with her back to us talking with the young man who makes the shakes. She brings the milkshakes over and they were good. Our server never smiled the whole time in dealing with us. She dropped of the check and walked away. We paid cash, and left. You know that place where you always have a bad experience. Unfortunately Cool Cat Cafe is one of those for us.

The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was great, and it was an easy spot to sit down, eat, and enjoy some time together.

I've been to the Monkeypod kitchen in Ko'Olina, Oahu, and I have nothing but positives to say about that location. When my father wanted to take the family to this particular location on Maui I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we were severely let down. When we sat down, main server asked me probably 3-4 times if I wanted anything other than water, and finally I caved and got a maI tai. After I finished it, he asked me another 3-4 times if I wanted another one, despite me telling him I was good after the first one. I appreciate attentive service, but the guy was incessant and trying to upsell us. As far as dinner goes, Food started to trickle out slowly over the next 5-10 minutes, and it was clear that the kitchen wasn't organized. I ordered the bulgogi tacos, one of my favorites at the other location. Unfortunately, they were lukewarm. The worst part was, they completely forgot about my father, who only ordered fries, and when he received them, they were lukewarm, limp and soggy. After my father asked for the tab, he noticed there wasn't a mandatory tip included for the wait staff, but there was actually a separate 4% tip for the kitchen. Since when is this a thing? How about you pay your kitchen a livable wage and quit putting it on the customers? So my father refused the pre-selected 20% tip and tried to put in a "custom" tip of 16% of the bill, which when added to the 4% would have been a total of 20% - in my opinion pretty generous, considering the lackluster service. Here's where it got bad. The server was practically breathing down his neck while he entered his tip, and when he was handed the payment gizmo because it wouldn't take the tip amount, loudly exclaimed "That's not enough!" and then threw it down on the table and stormed off. How demeaning and embarrassing! Is this how you treat customers here? I helped my mortified father figure out how to make the machine accept his tip (despite my suggestion that we drop the amount down to a penny) and we left without another word. Monkeypod, shame on you for: - embarrassing my father, who is a very generous man, - employing wait staff that openly demeans their customers, - serving us mediocre, lukewarm food, - and demanding an extra 4% for the kitchen that didn't take any pride in what they made. What a shame.

The tortillas are packed with fish; you can easily make two tacos out of one. Absolutely a must‑try. Poke Nachos The Poke Nachos were great. We ordered the spicy poke with a mayo base.
