Best Hawaiian Restaurants in Kihei

We had the absolute best time at Monkeypod in Wailea. Our food was delicious. We had the iconic Mai Tai’s, lobster deviled eggs, the Saimin, and Bulgogi Pork Tacos. Everything came quickly and was phenomenal. Our server DJ was personable and gave wonderful recommendations. We will definitely stop by again before we head back home!

Our server, John was super chill and very good. Sunset gorgeous. All the dishes we ordered were delicious but just a note on the clams, a bit under seasoned which was surprising as it’s a Thai curry broth and the risotto, although cooked perfectly, was over salted. Dessert was choc torte and it was devine and they have a very nice wine list. Overall a lovely evening. Mahalo to the staff.

Such a special place. My wife and I had the perfect meal at the perfect table with the perfect servers. I splurged and ordered the Pretty Fly for a Mai Tai, which was exceptional. They brought out all of the ingredients and mixed it right at the table, and it was simply the best Mai Tai I’ve ever had. It’s a bucket list item for sure. Our server was Jeb, and he was just the greatest. He made fantastic recommendations (get the pork shank!), was engaged and friendly throughout the meal, and took some amazing photos of us at sunset with the ocean in the background. Overall, it was a night to never be forgotten. If you are in Maui, and anywhere near the Four Seasons, GO TO SPAGO. The views, the cocktails, the food, the ambiance, the food…it’s all just divine.

We had very high expectations and somehow they managed to exceed them. Been to Maui three times and this has been the best experience I’ve had on the island hands down (culinary or otherwise). People and food are amazing. Can’t wait to be back.

The food was incredible, our waiter was very helpful with recommendations for food and drinks, and super friendly. We were a party of 8 and everything went smoothly and we all had a fantastic time!
