Monkeypod Kitchen - Waikiki

Tobias Smulders a month ago

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.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. The hostesses were incredibly kind and attentive. Although we had a reservation, we did have a short wait since I requested a table by the ocean, but it was absolutely worth it. Once seated, Maca took excellent care of us and made the experience even more enjoyable with thoughtful, friendly service. The food was delicious across the board. The mushroom pizza was a standout and quickly became a favorite, and the macadamia nut–crusted fish was perfectly cooked and flavorful. For dessert, we tried both the strawberry cream pie and the banana cream pie. They were rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. A beautiful setting, great service, and consistently excellent food. We’ll definitely be back.

10/10 experience! Food was amazing. Ordered the garlic truffle fries and Mai Thais to start. For main dishes we ordered the saimin and macadamia nut crusted fish. Everything was absolutely mouth watering. Our server Anthony was very personable and helpful with my questions about the menu. Location was great with a view of the water. Would absolutely return!!

Everything about this place was amazing. If you are in the Waikiki Beach area and know you are going to have to spend a good amount of money no matter where you go to eat you might as well go somewhere that is a great value for the money. This place is not cheap, but you get WAY MORE for your money here than you do anywhere else in the area. We tried the pizza and it's amazing, sea bass special that day was the best, bolgogi pork tacos were phenomenal, you really can't go wrong. We loved it and will be back next time we are in the area!

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.
