Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Kapolei

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Would recommend to others.

Good food and service but the pricing is outrageous, even for a Four Seasons.

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.

Our go-to place for our date night. Love the Valentine's Menu. We had the surf and turf. Ordered the steak medium but came out well done, we said something and it wasn't a problem for the manager or staff to remake our steak medium. The manager brought it out and asked us to check first if our steak is how we liked it. He was always very accommodating. The manager actually gave us 2 drinks on the house since they messed up my order but they are so professional you could tell they take good care of their customers as well as take good care of their staff. Moanis, I will see you soon! Mahalo Nui!

I’ve eaten at Roy’s across the different locations on the island. Last night’s experience was extraordinary. Our waiter, was a fine gentleman, that made the entire night very meaningful. My in laws flew into town after moving out of state last August. He made them feel special for this homecoming. The night started off with genuine recommendations for cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. He didn’t settle for telling us what was the best sellers but also his personal favorites which we ended up getting and it did not disappoint. Our waiter engaged in getting to know us as a family and we shared that we were pregnant and had just found out it was a boy. Our waiter congratulated us and shared his personal experiences of being a father on how lovely it is to have children. Mind you, my mother in-law and husband were also crying because it is our first child. Our server returned with a dessert to congratulate us on our blessing. He also made sure to fulfill the requests when I booked the reservation; 1) seating outside away from the stage, 2) celebrating my mother in-law’s birthday in which Roy’s are always mindful and bring out a beautiful dessert that said “Happy birthday (heart) Roy’s.” Our waiter was charming and witty greeting my mother in-law who turned 66 years old, a happy 21st. The rest of the wait staff were exceptional too. The manager checked in on us, our waters were topped off, never empty, our leftovers were boxed for us. It was the evening before Valentines Day and their live music delivered satisfaction in playing a variety of love songs. Please forgive me as I forgot the waiter’s name because of my pregnancy brain but he was a local gentleman with a beard and slicked back hair. Thank you for making not just our dinner special but the celebratory life moments special. We will continue going to Roy’s because of their exceptional food and exceptional customer service. - The Little Ohana
