    Wonderful dinner on the deck. Inside is a bit too noisy for us, but others were enjoying it. The Saimen (Noodle house) and Mahi Tacos were wonderful. Mai Tais and Pain killer drinks were wonderful. Thank you for another nice dinner!

    Delicious potstickers and fries watched while we were enjoying their delicious mai-tai... always a treat with pineapple slice and lilikoi foam! Yumm! I had the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi .. cooked to perfection! Served with pineapple salsa and rice! Husband had a delightful hamburger, and we shared tuna tacos with the children! Of course kids had to order ice cream and their wonderful coconut cream pie! Monkeypod always delivers!

    We went here for lunch and wish we could stay longer to come back! Lovely outdoor dining, wonderful service (thanks Jess!) and very tasty food. The only vegan dish on the menu is tortilla soup but Jess suggested they can switch out the fish for mushrooms for tacos and they were delicious. Hubby got the mai tai and fish and chips and pretty much devoured them along with coconut cream pie. French press coffee was the best we’ve had on our trip so far. Highly recommend!
