Play Tourist and Enjoy Happy Hour Monkeypod is a nice spot on the west side in Ko Olina when you want to play tourist and enjoy a great happy hour. The Korean pork tacos were our favorite bite. The avocado cucumber salad was surprisingly good and very refreshing. The lobster deviled eggs were a nice treat, and you really can't go wrong with the Parmesan fries. Good food, good drinks, and a Ko Olina setting. Sometimes it's fun to play tourist in your own backyard. Make sure you pay for parking and do it accurately, the fines are steep and they are very strict. read more

We came here during our honeymoon and had such a great experience that we came back for a second visit! The food was delicious, and the Mai Tais were amazing -- definitely a must-try. Our server, Jazz, was fantastic. She was so friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations that made our experience even better. She was genuinely welcoming and made us feel right at home. We had such a great time both visits and would definitely come back again. If you're here, ask for Jazz and definitely try the Mai Tai! read more

Ok Monkeypod! I will always look forward to visiting you! Especially because they got local performers singing beautiful music. They definitely make the ambience a vibe! The food is always so delicious and we leave so happy, full and satisfied. We love the service! The staff there is so friendly and so attentive. Can't wait to go back for the food, the ambiance and our delicious Mai Thais! read more

Came here while staying at Aulani. We weren't too hungry yet and mainly got appetizers and drinks during happy hour. Majority of the appetizers we got were good. - truffle fries..well...their truffle fries and cant really go wrong - taro dumplings (i forgot if thats what we got but they were good but not blown away either) - corn chowder was good - brisket pesto pizza? (Im overdue with the review so forgot what pizza it exactly was) but i remember this was good. It was in the happy hour menu is all i can remember. - wings but unsure about the goat cheese dip. I prefer plain ranch - the kids pasta was good. Well, one kiddo loved it while the other didn't. So it depends on preferences on this one. I will say i did taste it and it was meh... - another kiddo got the shoyu noodles and its plain. So if you got a simple palate plain jane child, they will like this one. For drinks, it depends on taste and preferences. I was bummed on this one. Mainly looking fwd to the drinks and it didn't satisfy my tastebuds. It was too twisted, fusion, modified etc. i prefer a mai tai a plain old fashioned mai tai without the fixings. The orange foam was too strong it overwhelmed the dark rum im used to and prefer. So i decided to try the ube rey instead which was much better but still not as much to my liking/preferences. Went back to Aulani a but bummed and decided to get another at Aulani the next day instead and I will say, i liked it better as it followed the more traditional way of making it. So if you prefer traditional ways, this may not be for you and if planning to drink, simply keep with the simplier generic drinks, wine or beer. If you prefer to try different ways and flavors, then you will love this. Service was great and our server was attentive at all times. Thank you. Ambiance was good but outdoor seating may be a bit of a nuance due to flies swarming around you often. The swinging table fan helps but are still annoying plus the tropical heat also didn't help. read more

Good solid experience with nice food and nice ambiance and decent service. Caesar salad was good and fresh 9/10. Siamin was maybe my favorite dish, smokey the noodles extra al dente and the pork was flavorful 9.5/10. Pesto Gnocchi was pillowy and soft and the pesto sauce was light and flavorful and was one of the few vegetarian options. I would get again 8/10. Side of broccoli was spicy and zesty 9/10. Cocktails were also very nice way to start. It's a tradition to always hit the minkeypod when in hawaii and will continue. Don't forget the pies! Overall, definitely a touristy vibe but pretty good quality overall. read more

Visited Monkeypod across the street from Aulani during our trip. Many people recommended the Mai Tai so I just had to try it out! And yes can confirm, the Mai Tai is heavenly. It's so good and has a yummy whip on top. I also got a lychee drink which was also very yummy! For food, we got the fish and chips! There was also a miscommunication and they brought out a random fish taco, so they gave it to us for free lol The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and had lots of seating. They had both indoor and outdoor seating and a bar. Outside they had live music, which was really nice to have during lunch :) Staff were great and sooo helpful. Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was amazing. I took off a star for pricing. We each got a drink and we shared fish and chips and our bill was $100 with tip. We felt that was a bit steep for sharing a meal and having 1 drink each. My friends who live on the Island said that other locations were way cheaper, so it's a bummer this one was more expensive. I'm assuming it's because it's across from Aulani. We noticed that the menu here was more expensive than eating at Aulani, so next time we'll probably just stay at the resort. Either way, food and experience were great but we probably won't return because of the pricing. read more

We ventured off the Ko Olina property and headed down the street to the monkeypod, which was a nice change of atmosphere which was lively. The service was excellent and the food was good. Definitely a step above typical pub fair That said, I found it to be a bit excessive. The guests are charged for parking while actively patronizing the restaurants and businesses on site even more frustrating. If you don't properly scan and register your parking you will receive a $49 to start out with a ticket as my son unfortunately, learned the hard way. you think if you patronize an establishment they would validate your parking so you don't have to pay. As for the dining experience, monkeypod promotes a local farm to table concept, and the quality of the ingredients seem to support that the food was enjoyable and the Service was outstanding just be prepared for the price tag. Our Bill for seven people was around 500 so while it was good a good meal it certainly wasn't inexpensive. Overall, I recommend the monkey pod for atmosphere service and quality food. Just go in knowing that both parking and dining come in a premium. read more

It all starts with the front desk staff!! Friendly, helpful and cheerful staff. Thank you for taking care of our special dietary requirements and also ensuring we had a great experience. Karina, the server was amazing and very friendly and helpful. She made sure to make us feel welcome and helped us choose the right food. The food was delicious. We ordered a couple appetizers ( garlic and plain fries). They were amazing One of our party of 6 had specific dietary needs. The kitchen staff accommodated that request and ensured a wonderful vegetarian dish. The pizzas are definitely the highlight. The fish dishes are all great Overall a 20/10 experience. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ko Olani!! Food, ambiance, service and overall experience was outstanding Thank you everyone. We hope to be back again !! read more

Location is across of the hotels in Koolina and there is a small paid parking lot that is shared with other small shops. The area and restaurant is catering more to tourists that want american food with a local twist. There was nice live music by a local artist which was very nice but unfortunately there were so many flies all over the place. Thankfully they tried their best by having those portable fly fans on the tables to deter the flies. We started off trying their virgin maitai which was pretty good and not too sweet with their famous pineapple foam on too. Then we got their house made gnocchi which was very soft and complemented well with the spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and pesto sauce. The kalua pork pizza with pineapple was really good and also had the pesto sauce inside that complemented the pork and pineapple well. Finally we got the fresh fish sandwich that tasted pretty decent, nothing amazing. We would've considered the macadamia nut crusted fish instead but didn't really want to spend over $50 on that one entree. read more

If you're in Ko Olina, there aren't many spots to grab dinner outside of the resort restaurants, so Monkeypod ended up being a spot we went to multiple times on our trip. We ate here our first night of the trip and had an amazing time. I wish I remembered our bartenders name but she was amazing and such a good vibe. We first went to monkeypod while in Maui, and I fell in love with their jalapeno mashed potatoes so I knew I had to get an order of that, and it was good as I remembered! Other things we ate that we enjoyed were the cast iron shrimp. Great flavor, the only problem is that it comes with like 4-5 shrimp, and they aren't large shrimp. Wish this dish came with more shrimp. The cheeseburger was good but not great. If you are craving a burger, this one definitely will satisfy that craving though. The catch of the day tacos were surprisingly good. The bulgogi tacos were solid but I'd opt for the fresh fish tacos instead. For dessert we tried their banana cream pie since it was popular. This one I didn't get the hype though, just an average piece of banana cream pie. For drinks, the mai tai is definitely the way to go. That lilikoi foam, so darn good! We definitely threw back a couple of these and enjoyed every sip. Overall, considering there aren't a ton of options in the area, this spot is great if you are looking to satisfy multiple different cravings. The live music at nights really elevates the experience and whoever was singing that day was amazing. Would I go again? definitely! read more

This is a wonderful destination for a memorable family dinner while on vacation. From the moment we arrived, the lively atmosphere and live music created an inviting and relaxed island dining experience. The standout dish of the evening was undoubtedly the lobster deviled eggs -- a creative and indulgent twist on a classic appetizer. The richness of the lobster paired beautifully with the creamy filling, and it completely convinced me that lobster absolutely belongs atop deviled eggs. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the thoughtful and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond in making our table feel welcomed, especially by checking in on our little one and kindly offering complimentary buttery noodles, which was such a warm and appreciated gesture. Between the flavorful cocktails, well-executed dishes, and exceptional hospitality, the entire evening was a delight from start to finish. I would gladly return on my next visit to the island. read more

We got invited to dinner at Monkeypod Kitchen with a big group of friends and their families, and I have to say it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious -- very flavorful and surprisingly quick to come out considering the size of our group. Our server was amazing. She was so friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel welcome and special. She explained all the specials very well, and when a few menu items ran out, she was very apologetic and accommodating. I especially loved the rib eye and all the sides that came with the entrée. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back again. read more

Eh, I think this place is hyped more than it should be. Service was ok... some delays in attentiveness for water refills, etc. The vibe is happening with live music, plenty of options for seating indoors or out. Food wasn't anything spectacular to be real. And prices were as to be expected for the location but truly not worth the meal. One and done, I'm good. Best part of the it all? Watching the train pass by! read more

I've been here 3 times so far this trip all with different people and have tried all sorts of different things. I think it's a great restaurant with great options. I wish there were a few things that were left unspiced (heat wise) but I value Monkeypod for accommodating. I will say don't be intimidated by the crowds we have done both rezzies and standby. The service is quick and the food is always hot. I love the music at night and the vibe it brings. Stop in and try it! It's a great option up in KoOlina! read more

What is delightful location. Many social media post advised us to have at least one meal here as opposed to our resort. We had two during our short visit. I will note that the prices were not significantly or even notably less than the prices at the resort, but it still made for a short walk and great service. If you are driving, there's plenty of parking in the plaza is nice to walk around. In an unrelated incident, someone had fallen and needed to go to the hospital. The staff were all attentive, but also not in the way. I believe that says something good about the vibe. read more

Very limited paid parking at this Koolina location. Some people park at the lagoon parking but you take your chances. The restaurant is open air, casual resort type dining. It was nice to listen to live entertainment throughout the night. It's a great place to take mainland friends or family. Service was good and it is a great place to talk story and relax! We ordered the poke taco, fish and chips, Mac nut crusted opah, fish sandwich and jerk chicken plates. Everyone enjoyed their orders but we were impressed by the jerk chicken dish. The menu had something for everyone including pizza and hamburgers. read more

Staff was super friendly and nice. Was happy to come by and check this place out. It was close to the resort that we were staying at. I know that they are a local chain I believe and there are a couple of locations but definitely didn't disappoint. We had a 14 month old and the minute we got seated, they let us know that they had complementary pasta and cheese coming out for the boy which I really appreciated. Didn't even know that this was a thing I wish that we had this everywhere. Food was delicious and the live music that we came into towards the end was great. Wish that we would showed up a little earlier to hear more of it. read more

What a cool place in Ko Olina. It was just a 20min walk from the last lagoon we were chilling at so we decided to walk there. We relished the burgers and fish and chips. Everything was delicious and grateful to have tried it out. The place is very expensive but they serve good food with local ingredients hence we came here for lunch. We thought it would be special so opted to spend a " fancy" meal here instead of the other choices nearby. We went for the above options since those were on the affordable side. The ambiance was lovely with live music, greenery and good food. Service was relatively fast and bathrooms were clean. However, we did not enjoy the fact that our waitress brought us tiny sips of beer we wanted to try before ordering. It felt really cheap/ stingy for them to do that and they only allowed 2 to try. Also when the burgers came they had put very little portions of mustard and ketchup. We had to kindly ask for more and then she brought us bigger portions. We enjoyed the choco cream pie, the lemon crunch and chocolate ice creams. Delicious all of them. Just left feeling they were a bit stingy with certain things. And when ur paying so much for lunch and we ordered nicely for all, it feels it was not needed to make customers feel that way. read more

Monkeypod Kitchen lived up to the expectations, especially since we were looking for options that were walking distance. The drinks were the highlight. They were strong, while tasting wonderful: - Mai Tai: The tartness of the honey-lilikoi foam (passion fruit) balanced out the sweetness perfectly - After Midnight: The grapefruit really came through, without being bitter/sour or acidic - Bartenders Special: Ube that tasted fresh and not artificial! - Manfuego: Requesting it without the chili pepper was a mistake; get it with the heat or skip it The food was hit-or-miss. The fish tacos were the favorite, which were mahi-mahi. The fish was fresh, and very well seasoned with a great citrus finish. Even the folks at the table who "do not like fish" were surprised by how good it was after a bite. We will likely order more seafood dishes next time. When it came to the service, Daniela was stellar! She ensured that we were taken care of throughout the evening, especially the kids, and her recommendations were spot on. Not to mention her patience; it was not our best showing, haha. There was live music, which we enjoyed while also being able to have conversations. We were at a bar height table, which was plenty big for the 6 of us. We will likely be back, since we were eying the happy hour options and the second floor was intriguing. read more

This is our second Monkeypod location. We went to the Maui location a couple months ago. This experience was far better. We made reservations ahead of time for 6:30pm Monday. We walked across the street from Aulani and browsed the cute shops before checking in around 6:15pm. We were given a buzzer and were told our table will be ready around 6:30pm which it was. We were told to go upstairs and we were seated indoors in a cute booth. Our waitress Olivia was very sweet and was very nice to our 4 year old toddler. I got a cocktail - it's not on their website menu. It was very good. My husband got a beer. Both came out very quickly. Monkey Business Saimin - 13 locally made sun noodles, broccoli, chicken broth- Same last the maui location. Comes with quite a bit of noodles. They are thick and filling. Soup was light. Fresh Caught Fish Tacos - 31 chipotle mole (contains peanuts), salsa fresca, sour cream, cilantro, cabbage, corn tortillas - My husband also got a side of broccoli. It was very spicy for cooked well. Broccoli Salad - 19 house-made romesco (contains nuts), point reyes blue cheese, cranberry - I added chicken. Comes with two slices of flat bread. This was surprisingly good. Would totally get this again and not your routine salad. Chocolate Cream Pie valrhona dark chocolate pastry cream, laie vanilla whipped cream, homemade pie crust - This time we opted for the chocolate cream pie over the strawberry. This was insanely delicious. read more

For those wondering about dinning at Monkeypod Kitchen with over 5,000 Yelp reviews I'm here to tell you this...the food and service is amazing!!! More than the 5 star food, the service my wife and I received from Jennifer was unparalleled to any service I've had in a half decade. Could be one of the best tasting happy hours out there with bomb tasting food. We got hand cut fries, roasted chicken wings, and Kahlúa pork pineapple pizza. Unreal tasty flavors that can't be replicated. Jennifer is an all-star server. She was spot on with every detail and recommendation of our dining experience down to the last plate, which was strawberry cream pie! To die for tasty. Highly recommend Monkeypods happy hour and service from their all star server Jennifer. 5 stars. I'll be back. read more

*3.5* I haven't been here in years and I'm glad we decided to give this place another try. We came on a Saturday during happy hour - all appetizers were half off (excluding anything with seafood in it) and all pizzas were $16 vs ~$24 normal price. I got the kalua pork and pineapple pizza with fresh jalapeños, this was super good and crispy! Definitely my favorite meal of the night. The wings are also delicious here they are baked/grilled and very simple but full of flavor. The corn chowder was tasty although it wasn't very hot they replaced it with a hot bowl for us. In all honestly I cannot recommend this place outside of happy hour because they prices are a bit insane for the value, but keep in mind you are on resort grounds. Happy hour yes, dinner service pass. It can get quite loud in here and it is open air dining, the ambiance is not very intimate and it's more of a bar vibe. read more

Been here while staying at the nearby resort. No more than a five minutes wait because we made the reservation online but without reservation the struggle could be real. We had a pizza, not a pizza in Italian is expecting, but the crust and tomatoes were pretty good. As main course I had the seafood and rice and I had to say the flavor was good, on point. The menu is decently various and offers different options. One perk is some great music while you dine. Little loud if you're too close to the speakers to have a good conversation read more

We stayed at the Hyatt Place and we didn't know there was a closer one to our location, but it didn't matter. The service and food and live music was the best spot for our first evening dinner.

Monkeypod Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

When I'm in Oahu, I usually stay at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Right across the street is Monkeypod Kitchen, which makes it such an easy and perfect spot for a family dinner and fun evening out. Monkeypod is especially well known for their pies, and they are a must to try, but the rest of the food is just as good. It's a fun place to hang out, especially on weekends and weeknights and most evenings when there's a lively crowd and great music with live bands. My favorite dishes are the poke tacos and the burgers, and the pizzas are also really good. I recently tried the fish and chips, and it was excellent . The fish flaked apart perfectly and was lightly battered, just the way I like it. I also love their homemade fries, which have that perfect crisp with slightly browned edges that give them amazing flavor. And don't forget they make their own ketchup, which is absolutely delicious and pairs perfectly with the fries. It's always a great vibe, great food, and a must visit spot when staying in the KoLina area. read more

Returned with friends and enjoyed the fun atmosphere and cocktails. Their mai tai is delicious! The menu hasn't changed much since our last visit. The broccoli is good but a bit soupy. They were out of their delicious gnocchi so we asked if we could have the fish and lobster pasta with the gnocchi sauce. Not sure it came that way and our waitress was a bit elusive. It was okay, not sure if order it again. The kalua pork and pineapple pizza was good and I was surprised to see it covered in jalapenos . It was tasty and not too spicy. It was convenient (and recommended) to make a reservation online and we had a nice table on the 2nd floor overlooking the front entrance. The casual ambiance is lovely. What surprises me the most and I remembered this from last time, their service is just ok. I'm surprised it's not better. The hostesses are bland, not welcoming and almost seem annoyed upon checking in. Our server was nice but a bit elusive and walked away a few times when we were about to ask a question or place an order. So strange! I remember this from our last visit, their staff is not into small talk or approachable. Must not be in their business culture. ‍ read more

Still a solid convenient option in Kapolei, but prices have gone up and there's a bit of shrinkflation. Happy hour is still daily 3:30-5pm. HH pizzas are now $16 and seem smaller than a couple years ago, 50% off non-seafood appetizers. $2 off draft beers. 50% off glass of wines, and $4 off cocktails. The wings appetizer was 8-wings, spicy and not very good. I guess I expected fried wings, but they were just baked. Truffle and kahlua pork pizzas were good, but small. The fish and chips was good but a bit overpriced at $31. Service is always excellent here and I enjoy the live music too. Always worth a visit when we meet up with friends on vacation read more

Nice restaurant and staff! We walked across the street from our hotel. I was able to make a reservation earlier in the day for 6 people later that night. They had 5:45 available only on the website but we went early and they seated us right away. I got the "famous" Mai tai and it was good. Small glass but the foam and fresh pineapple was good. I got the lamb pizza. I didn't care for the lamb very much as it was " spiced" and they left it in huge chinks. Might have been better if it was crumbled more. The goat cheese was good and I also picked off some of the mint because there was a lot of it and still in whole leaf form. Not a huge menu but everyone was able to find something. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. I hey gave us free noodles with parm for our boy who was under three. Very nice of them! He didn't really eat much of it and it was a big portion. I've never seen free kids food that wasn't a "kids eat free on select days" sort of thing. We sat outside and the flies attacked us when we got our food. They brought us a fly fan so it's a problem there for some reason. Overall it was good. Might be better for happy hour. And we somehow missed the live music. read more

Monkeypod Kitchen is just a short walk from Aulani Resort. We made dinner reservations for our large party, and our table was ready once we checked in. We sat inside, but the patio area looked inviting as well. Overall, most of the food was good, and the drinks were great. The atmosphere and vibe were chill and pleasant with live music and open-air windows. The weather was perfect for the evening. We started with some drinks; the Monkeypod Mai Tai was a big hit, and I enjoyed the Virgin Mai Tai. There were some interesting house cocktails, non-alcoholic options, and a big wine list. We ordered some appetizers to share, and I enjoyed the Wings, Taro Ravioli, and Kalua Pork Pizza. My main entree was Pete's Fish & Chips. It was ok. The tempura-style fish had a nice crunch, but the coating was very salty. The hand-cut fries were tasty, though. Some of my family felt the saimin and fish sandwich was delicious as well. Our server and the staff were excellent, attentive, and kind. They checked on us regularly. The prices are on the premium side, but given the location across from the resorts and the quality and portions, it was fair. I'd be back to enjoy the cocktails and try other items on the menu. read more

I always have to stop by here whenever I'm in Ko Olina. I love the food and atmosphere here. The happy hour is worth! Appetizers are half off and pizza is discounted. Happy hour is from 3:30 pm - 5 pm and includes weekends! Recommend making reservations if you can. The first time I came here was during prime dinner time and had to wait 45 minutes. The next time I came, I was seated right away. It depends on the day but it can get busy at times. They do have a keiki (kids) menu. My son got the Monkey Business Saimin which tasted not quite like ramen but similar to it. Keiki under 3 get free noodles and cheese. I got the taro ravioli. It's two of my favorite things-- taro and ravioli so I really enjoyed it. The ravioli is filled with taro and water cress and drizzled with chili garlic oil. It's conveniently located by a few hotels so it's a nice option if you want to try something else than hotel food. Parking is not free. I stayed at Aulani and thought it'd be easier with kids to drive over-- which was a mistake on my part. I parked at the parking lot that was across the street which would have been the same distance from the parking garage from my hotel and in addition, I had to pay for parking. If you're staying at nearby hotels, I recommend walking over. read more
