Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman - Kaanapali, Maui

Bartender was not friendy to us, the bar mgr was nice. When your on vacation having a meal ut is a buz kill when your waiter/ bartender is grumpy. Vibe kill.

Wait staff was excellent. Food was great, especially potstickers. We were hoping for a nicer table with advance reservations, but the waiter made up for it! We appreciated the special complimentary items for our 50th wedding anniversary.

Everything was really good. The only thing that I didn't like was when I was waiting for my table I couldn't get a drink at the bar. They wouldn't serve me. Monkeypod should think about changing this rule 

By far one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at.

Only had the truffle fries this time. They're hot and crispy with creamy texture inside. Not a ton of truffle (I prefer it very mushroom-y) so I don't think it should put anyone off who isn't sure. Bonus: it was also plenty to share with a friend I made at the bar.
Mai Tai x 3 = ♥️
I will be back

I don’t think the Chef here knows how to deep fry the potatoes,all burn and tast very bad !!
Just basic cooking skills and service people should not serve this dish to the customers well.😊🏝️

Vibe is good. Food is average at best for vegetarians. If you don't drink then not much to eat here. Pizza was okay. Ravioli was decent

Nothing short of amazing. DELICIOUS FOOD. AMAZING service—waiter (Matt) was absolutely great. He was both funny and extremely attentive. And just wonderful everything!

10/10 recommend. Best place in Maui so far

I was able to get a table for 5 after a short 20 minutes wait; seated at 5pm. The waiter was attentive and the food was good. Just an easy meal for the family at Whalers Village.

Sent entree back due to excessive salt. Salad replaced, charged for both. Not smart

Everyone I met kept telling us how much they love this place and I worried if I walked in with too much of a high expectation. I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint and it was the perfect way to enjoy our Christmas honeymoon meal! We love pizza and some greens so we went with the pineapple pork pizza. My husband doesn't eat pork but they were able to put that on the side for us to both enjoy. The salad was great too and so was this dumpling! Service was great as well as the ambience. We got to see the sunset by sitting on the end of the restaurant which is where we wanted to get a bit quieter with music. But if you like live music go to the center part of the restaurant with nice ambience. Reservation is a must. Enjoy your meals. Thanks for the wonderful time! Can't wait to return here!
