    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!

    I think Monkeypod was on EVERY “must eat” blog we looked at for Oahu food and it did not disappoint. The fish & chips + fish sandwich were moist and delicious The Mai tais were strong and sweet The chocolate pie was outstanding And our server made my bday dinner a little extra special so 10/10 for service. Monkeypod definitely lives up to the hype

    Fun lively atmosphere! Staff super nice. Great live music! The drinks were great but the food was just okay. Would return for happy hour and cocktails but not sure we’d rush back to eat.
