He has always been inspired by the people and products around him and this spirit has lead the movement to look at food in Hawaii in a new light. Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman embraces this passion!

    The staff were absolutely wonderful. They helped us celebrate our wedding anniversary with champagne and cake, and were very attentive when our child was crying. We truly appreciated their kindness and thoughtful service.

    Loved that there was live music, but it wasn’t too loud either- the perfect volume. The food was delicious; we especially loved the bourgeois pizza with truffle oil and lobster. We also loved our Monkeypod mai tais- super strong! We came to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and received a complimentary pie slice of his choice, which was a really sweet touch! We’ll definitely be back next time we are in town.

    The food and atmosphere were great. Our server was wonderful and there was live music. The only downside were the bathrooms- you use the public bathroom outside the restaurant. Long lines and no toilet paper.

    The server seemed annoyed and didn’t seem to know the menu as well as Monkeypod servers we’ve had on previous visits. The pizzas and drinks are amazing…everything else is fine, but overpriced for what you get. Ko Olina location is better on every level except the view.
