    ハッピーアワーで利用しました。メニューに日本語メニューが表示されるQRコードが載っていて不安なくオーダーができました。またオーダーから料理の提供までが早くて嬉しかったです。ピザはHamakua Wild Mushroom & Truffle OilとKalua Pork & Pineapple を食べましたが両方美味しかったです。他のテーブルで見かけたRoasted Chicken Wingsが美味しそうだったので次は食べたいと思います。

    Only 4 stars due to the drinks-White Walkers that we have had in the past but at their Maui Monkeypod. We were really looking forward to them but these ones lacked in coconut and lemongrass and seemed more acidic as a result. Everything else was spot on. Service was good. Views are amazing. Music was good but could be a tad loud depending on where you are seated. We enjoyed the cast iron shrimp with cornbread, two salads and 2 pizzas (mushroom/truffle and the Lamb sausage. Still highly recommend.
