Outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone—we were told there would be about a 5-minute wait, but ended up being seated in closer to 2 minutes. When we asked to sit outside, the host stand was extremely accommodating, which we really appreciated.
Our server, Nick, was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations based on our personal preferences. Every drink suggestion was spot-on, and the food recommendations were equally impressive. He also made it very clear that if a drink wasn’t to our liking, he would happily replace it—an extra touch of consideration that stood out. We are still in shock about how balanced the drinks were without one ingredient being overpowering.
Was not able to get the bartender’s name, the waitress running drinks, or the waiter running food, but they all were phenomenal!
Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging at restaurants, but Nick was especially helpful and patient, making the experience enjoyable for everyone at the table.
The food itself was fantastic: generous portion sizes, very flavorful, and clearly well thought out. Everything felt fresh, balanced, and executed with care.
Monkeypod delivered excellent service, great hospitality, and consistently delicious food. This is absolutely a place we would return to and confidently recommend to anyone visiting Maui.

When they claim to have the best mai tai on the island, they mean it. Happy hour draws in a very large crowd but the line moves quickly, so put your name on the list and walk around the plaza. The food there is great. I would recommend the chicken wings to share. The servers are all very friendly and quick.

Loved our meal here! There was a bit of a wait for our reservation but it went by quickly. The atmosphere is a bit loud and the lightening needs to change (it’s overhead and makes you look awful). However our server was soo sweet and the food was outstanding. The special of monchong fish with cauliflower puree was amazing. The shrimp with cornbread also amazing, though portion size a bit small. The banana pie was way too sweet, I wish there was some chocolate or something to break through the sweetness, and the portion was a bit big for the two of us.

Everyone says, “Go to Monkeypod Kitchen,” and that’s some good advice. We enjoyed a lovely meal during our vacation on Maui. We didn’t have a reservation and the wait wasn’t too long. There is not much to do at this little shopping plaza, so planning ahead would be better! I had the noodle soup dish, it was excellent. Hearty, spicy, memorable. If this spot were local I would run over weekly for that dish alone. Energetic staff. Open kitchen, lots of energy. Excellent mocktails! I loved everything about Monkeypod.

The atmosphere is perfectly vibrant at this restaurant! We heard the Mai Tai was the best…I totally agree, but they had a special cocktail called the “Cold Fashioned” which is my new favorite cocktail. We had Macadamia Nut Encrusted Mahi Mahi and it was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor profile. The real WOW for us was the Lobster Deviled Eggs. Squeeze a little lime on them…trust me! We also tried, at the strong recommendation of another tourist we met, the Jalapeño Mashed Potatoes. They were good, different, which I appreciate, not spicy. So, I don’t know that the potatoes deserved as strong of a recommendation as we got, but they are worth a try! Anyway, we had good service, and food and drinks were served in a timely fashion. We would definitely recommend the restaurant, but be sure you get a reservation WELL in advance. Everybody loves the place, and for good reason.

This was our first time dining here, and it was amazing. The food was delicious, and my husband said the Monkeypod Mai Tai was the best he’s ever had. I enjoyed the virgin Mai Tai, served in the coolest tiki glass, and it was just as delicious. We sat on the patio and had excellent service from our server, Nick. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and gave great recommendations. We will definitely be back on our next vacation and highly recommend this restaurant.

We dined here on our honeymoon and we loved the experience! The ambiance of the restaurant was really fun and it was cool to see all the various cocktails and things on the menu. We got truffle fries and some type of ravioli to start… loved the fries but would not recommend the ravioli. It was a weird texture and overpoweringly cheesy. The drinks and margaritas pizza were great, too!
We came for happy hour and our waiter was great! We did feel a little forgotten about at the end of our meal, but it was starting to pick up a ton by that time as it transitioned to dinner time.

The Mai Tai (both alcohol and NA) were amazing!! The food was good but quite under-seasoned. The Organic Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish was good but I don’t think I would pay that price to eat it again. The Seared Ahi Steak was perfectly cooked but didn’t have much flavor without the sauce. The service was STELLAR!

Good food and good service. The menu has a nice variety • Our server made good recommendations. The chicken wings are a MUST try. We had the wings, cucumber avocado salad, black truffle fries, fish tacos, jerk chicken and fish sandwich . Each of the dishes were delicious. The food arrived quickly and is freshly prepared. I wasn’t able to try their famous pizzas because they were not serving that day. They clearly mentioned that when I made the reservation, appreciate the notice.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious locally themed dishes and a staff that is efficient, friendly, and attentive.
The restaurant is comfortably decorated in a modern tropical theme. Tables and booths are available and are spaced so that you’re not on top of other visitors. A large bar offers comfortable counter service. Tables are also available on an outside patio.
We have never needed to make reservations. However, during busier times of the year and for large groups it would probably be smart to make arrangements.
A free parking lot is available adjacent to the restaurant.
