This is the full current menu for the Waikiki location inside the Outrigger Reef — pupus, hand-tossed pizzas, makai mains, the Keiki menu, cream pies, breakfast and both the daytime and evening cocktail menus, with every price we could verify.
Prices come from the restaurant's Waikiki menu (compiled September 2026) and are cross-checked against a second copy of the same menu. Prices change, so treat these as your planning numbers and confirm on the day.

Finding It: Location, Hours & Reservations
Monkeypod Kitchen Waikiki sits on the water at the back of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, 2169 Kālia Road, Unit 111, Honolulu, HI 96815. Walk through the hotel lobby toward the ocean and you'll hit the restaurant. The phone number is (808) 900-4226, and it's open 7 AM to 11 PM daily.
Reservations are accepted (the restaurant runs a real-time reservation calendar), and here's a useful note from the restaurant itself: ocean-view table requests are honored based on availability, but all dining room tables have a Waikiki ocean view — so you're not gambling on the room.
Parking: the restaurant's listing notes complimentary 2-hour valet parking from 7 AM to 3 PM with a $50 minimum purchase at Monkeypod Kitchen. Outside those hours you're on standard Waikiki valet rates, so this is a genuine midday perk.
Happy Hour: Daily 3:30–5 PM
Yes, there is a daily happy hour from 3:30 to 5:00 PM, available every day except select holidays. The deals: appetizers are half off (with the exception of the poke tacos, lobster deviled eggs, cast iron shrimp and shrimp potstickers), pizzas are $15 (with the exception of the Bourgeois), $4 off all handcrafted culinary cocktails, $2 off draft beers and $3 off wines by the glass.
That makes the $18 signature Mai Tai $14 and a $23 pizza $15 during the window — the cheapest way to eat here. This is also the only Waikiki beachfront spot we track with a half-off pupus deal daily.
What Monkeypod Kitchen Is Known For
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman is a chef-driven farm-to-table restaurant led by award-winning chef Peter Merriman, one of the founders of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. The Waikiki location is the only Monkeypod that serves breakfast, and it sits directly on the water inside the Outrigger Reef.
The signature item is the Monkeypod Mai Tai ($18) — Kula organic silver and dark rums, lime, house-made macadamia nut orgeat, Bols orange curaçao, finished with the signature honey-lilikoi foam. Other anchors: hand-tossed pizzas (Hamakua Wild Mushroom & Truffle Oil, $23; Kalua Pork & Pineapple, $23), macadamia nut crusted fresh fish ($49), scratch-made cream pies ($14) and a 36-craft-beer-on-tap program from the restaurant's opening announcement. Live music plays daily.
Menu Pro Tips
1. Happy hour math is the whole game
3:30–5 PM daily: half-off appetizers, $15 pizzas, $4 off cocktails. A $23 pizza + $18 mai tai becomes $29 instead of $41.
2. Ask about market prices on the day
The menu flags some items as 'market value' — the happy-hour deal excludes poke tacos, lobster deviled eggs, cast iron shrimp and shrimp potstickers entirely.
3. Breakfast only exists at this location
Waikiki is the only Monkeypod Kitchen serving breakfast. The Mai Tai Flapjacks ($24) and The Cure saimin ($22) don't appear at the other locations.
4. Keiki menu is the budget backdoor
Keiki Pancake ($11) and Keiki Classic ($11) are full breakfast plates — great if you just want the room and the view cheaply.

Nate's Take — Coming After Our Visit
We're holding the personal picks for now. Tasting notes and fresh photos land after our next in-person visit — the current menu, prices, hours and happy hour above are all documented and verified, but the dishes we actually loved (and the ones we'd skip) are still to come.
Until then: our full review of the room, the service and the mac nut fish from our June 2026 visit is already live — read Monkeypod Kitchen Waikiki review for the experience side, and use this page for the numbers.
The move: go 3:30–5 PM, sit at the bar, order a half-off appetizer and a $15 pizza with a $14 happy-hour mai tai.
