Creator's Key Takeaways

we are here in Ko Olina yes yes and we are staying at the Disney Aulani but we're going to highlight some eating places

the happy hour at monkeypod is totally worth it even the food looked really good if you're not here for the happy hour right so I'd probably give it a try

this omelette is amazing I can see why this place is so popular it gets four stars on you there's always a line

the only place that we missed which we um didn't try was the Tropic poke so we were all poke it out so we didn't try that place
