    We really enjoyed this place. Had a table with a view of the ocean, and it felt like we were on a cruise. Started with their famous Mai Thai, and it was delicious. My husband had a pizza, which he loved, and I had the fish tacos, which were so fresh. Ended up with the strawberry cream pie at the end, so delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

    Perfect as usual! My go-to spot for great food, boozy drinks, and amazing vibes whenever I am in Waikiki. Live musicians are talented and the views are immaculate. This place is special.

    I felt as though I hadn’t had such excellent service in a while, so this was very refreshing. Our waitress, Allison, made the night perfect! We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 21st birthday, and she even paid for his first beer!! She was very kind, patient, and detailed. Overall, amazing experience!

    The food and ambiance were amazing! With having great views you sometimes wonder if food will be average but everything we had was top quality. The mai tais were the best we have had. We started with the shrimp and cornbread appetizer. We had the bulgogi tacos and gnocchi for dinner. We finished with a slice of the strawberry pie. Every item was great!

    The Mai Tais were absolutely life-changing! They’ve ruined me for any other drink anywhere. Sitting by the ocean was dreamy, plus live music? It was magical. It went during happy hour for four dollars off cocktails and had a $15 pizza. One of our favorite stops!

    We love visiting a Monkey Pod when we see one. This was my first time at the Waikiki location and it was just as great. Service was good everyone was very friendly. My boyfriend who visits often says they always have the best singer playing live music no matter what night it is. We asked about a military discount since we like to keep track of who has them and they gave him 10% off which was really appreciated. You have to try the Mai Tai, it blows all the others out of the water. And i love the macadamia nut mahi, never disappoints here.
