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

About the restaurant

2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.

Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking.

Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.

Lovely space and attentive service food looked better than it tasted. The chive biscuit was very heavy not flavorful. Arugula shrimp salad looked beautiful but wasn’t flavorful need more seasoning
