    We love going to Monkeypod! Food is always prepared consistently and the servers are always courteous and helpful with recommendations! We like the pizzas and truffle fries. Mai tais are their signature cocktail but I’m a sweet person so I love their lychee martini. So yum!

    Food was good for most of the party. Very limited allergy friendly options on menu for one guest with milk allergy. Very noisy space at dinner time.

    The Monchong fish “gumbo” was perhaps the best fish entree I’ve had during these two weeks in Ko Olina. It was not a soup at all, but a delightful fillet of fish with rice, corn, zucchini, and even some delicious sweet cornbread snd 3 shrimp! Two of us had it, and we both loved it. The third member of our party had a burger which she also enjoyed thoroughly. Of course, we started with the Ahi tuna tacos, which are obligatory and we ended with strawberry and dreamsickle cream pies. The music was most enjoyable and service by Blaze was outstanding. He is full of information and charm! great evening!
