10/10 happy hour experience (2-5pm) and I don’t say this lightly. Mai tais were to die for and the shareable food was great. Plenty of parking and tables, not excessively noisy. If in doubt definitely give it a chance

Happy Hour is 2pm - 5pm, and you’ll not want to pass up on the 50% off, and their Mai Tais are the bomb! Grace was our server today and aside from friendly conversation, she offered great suggestions which were all on point! They validate your parking, so come out and enjoy their food, service, and vibes!

FOOD 3.5 An eclectic mix of pastas, pizzas, and Asian fusion dishes. We ordered bulgogi sliders, French fries, fettucine with tomato and basil, margherita pizza and ice cream sandwiches. All fairly decent with no issues. SERVICE 4.5 Server was very attentive and accommodating. Other staff were also very attentive and warm. ATMOSPHERE 4 Typical noisy brewpub atmosphere with plenty of service staff. OVERALL 4 I would go back for sure. Make sure you register your license plate to receive parking validation.

We came to Moku for happy hour, with a reservation, on a Friday evening around 5pm had an amazing experience. Service From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service. Our server Christian was outstanding. He was super friendly, personable, and totally on it from start to finish. Although we lingered well after happy hour, we never felt rushed to leave and felt that we were genuinely cared for with superb hospitality the entire time. Vibe The live music added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Like its sister restaurant Monkeypod, Moku has a fun and relaxed vibe that’s full of good energy. Food The happy hour prices are some of the best around. 1/2 off appetizers and all pizzas are $12 from 2 to 5:30 PM We ordered a few dishes to share, including my go-to fave the Kalua pork pizza, Szechuan stir-fry green beans, roasted squash raviolis and a margarita pizza. Everything was outstanding. I appreciate the consistency and the quality of food at Moku as I always know what to expect when dining there. We also got the pork potstickers and they were onolicious- by far my favorite dish that we ordered. If you like spicy this is definitely a must-try! I also appreciate that Moku serves non-alcoholic beer for those of us that don’t drink alcohol but still want to enjoy the happy hour vibe. Mahalo Nui Moku! We’ll definitely be back! We spent about $110 for 4 people- including all food and a round of drinks.

I ordered the house made ginger beer for my drink and roasted vegetables as my meal, plus I added chicken to it. Ginger beer was ok. They said they add cayenne pepper to it, which was exciting to me. I tasted all of the ingredients in the drink, but the ginger taste was very minimal. The roasted vegetables were SCRUMPTIOUS! I added chicken and that was delicious as well. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Not overly salty, which I loved. Nice size portions. The leftovers the next day we're even better. I highly recommend that dish. I've been salivating and talking about it for a week now. I can hardly wait to go back and order it again. My friends ordered the smash burger and fries and the fish tacos. They all said their dish was seasoned well and had great flavor. My friends also highly recommended the monkeypod mai tai. The server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was crowded and loud with everyone chatting, but still worth it. We parked in the garage around the corner. The restaurant validated and we had to pay about $6 to park. There was a small stage in the back of the restaurant where they have live music. I will most definitely return.

From the moment we walked into Moku Kitchen we knew we were in for something special. The vibe struck a perfect balance between relaxed and refined — soft lighting, warm wood tones, and just enough island flair to make it feel like a mini vacation without going full tiki. The buzz of happy diners filled the space, inside and outside. Within minutes, we were greeted by the absolute gem of the evening: our server, Noah. Noah was everything you want in a server — friendly without being pushy, sharp with recommendations, and always right there when you needed something. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his passion for the food and drink was contagious. We kicked things off with the legendary Monkey Pod Mai Tai, and wow — this drink deserves its reputation. Unlike your run-of-the-mill overly sweet versions, this one was balanced, vibrant, and had that beautiful honey-lilikoi foam on top that made each sip feel like a little tropical celebration. Appetizers set the tone for what would be a flavor-packed evening. The dumplings were perfectly seared and filled with tender, seasoned meat — with a dipping sauce that had a subtle kick. Then came the poke tacos, which honestly stole the show. The fresh, buttery ahi tuna was wrapped in crisp wonton shells, with creamy avocado and just the right amount of heat. Crunchy, cool, savory, spicy — every bite hit a different note. We couldn’t resist trying the pizza, and it didn’t disappoint. The crust was wood-fired perfection — crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside — and the toppings were fresh, creative, and well-balanced. Whether you're a traditionalist or like things a little wild, there’s a pie here for you. From start to finish, Moku Kitchen delivered on all fronts: food, drinks, atmosphere, and service.
