Best American Restaurants in Hawaii Kai

Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

Excellent food and service. Any visit to Honolulu should include a meal here. The view is spectacular of the bay/ocean, and you will enjoy the fine dining and lovely atmosphere!

Food was delicious, and loved the ambiance with the live music, dim lighting, and the restaurant being right next to the ocean. Me and my wife went on Valentine’s Day and we were able to get in right at our reservation time. She had the margarita pizza and I had the ribeye with jalapeño mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. The jalapeño mashed potatoes were incredible and so was the rib eye, which was cooked perfectly medium and tasted better than most nice steak houses I’ve been to. I would always recommend monkey pod to people looking for a good place to eat with a nice environment and setting.

I spent a very unforgettable night in my life, because I proposed to my boyfriend in the restaurant. Because it was a surprise for my boyfriend, every employee in the restaurant was secretly preparing for me. Save the flowers for me, play the prepared music for me, and give us cocktails. All this is so beautiful. My English is very poor, but the staff in the restaurant actively communicated with me. Everyone was very friendly to us. We got a lot of blessings, which made the night more meaningful. I love all of you. I will definitely visit you again next time I come to Hawaii.

When in Hawaii we stay at The Kahala so breakfast is a must at Plumeria Beach House. Service was excellent thanks to Brad our server and the food was awesome and delicious as always. Highly recommend the sunrise papaya with the addition of crisp bacon and the Hawaiian style Bennie with taro English muffins and pork short rib,tender and delicious. Keeps us coming back for more.
