Awesome service and food! Thanks to Chef Jay! Best service overall and great atmosphere! Jay and his crew exceeded our expectations. Will return for more food, service, and entertainment :) Great job!

The door staff was excellent. That will be the last positive thing I have to say about my dinner. The waiter was not attentive (obviously there to up sell for larger tips) and did not communicate about the delays in the kitchen. I Judge my experience from what I see. What I saw was other tables with a clearly better waiter get food before me and my waiter dodging me and not communicating the status of my meal. My Appetizer was a 30 minute wait...my dinner... another 30 minutes. After the long waits, both my appetizer and meal were bland and not season. After I informed the manager, I was offered her business card so that next time I would receive preferred treatment. Shouldn't I get that as a paying customer everytime? I declined her offer as I have no desire to ever return to Tiki's and informed her that I would be writing negative reviews about my experience. There was a time when I referred all my Uber and Lyft customers to this place. After my last experience, I will direct them to other establishments as they deserve a better meal than what Tiki's has to offer.

First time here and experience was through the roof we tried the coconut shrimp for a starter which was beyond delicious and for my main course i had their soy salmon which was out of this world and how can i forget the view of the sea as you sit on the outside patio while enjoying a refreshing drink!!! So Good me and the wife went 3 times in a row.

Very bad customer service.. waited over an hour for my Togo order that was only a salad.. and when I got it they didn t have a bag I could carry it back to my hotel in, so the manager or who ever he was gave me a torn used dirty bag...

Food was good, our waiter was great. My issue was with the host that took our name to seat us. There is open seating outside or regular seating inside. He never stated there is a different menu for outdoor seating (limited to more casual bar type food). Luckily we were able to get a table inside with a full menu after we found this out. Also, there are a LOT of tables outside. It turns into people milling around and sniping tables as people pay their check. It's very unorganized and makes for an uncomfortable seating arrangement.

I used the bar.

I used the bar.
There is a live band performance and it is very lively.
The beach is also nearby and it is a pleasant place.
All the clerk responds well and answers questions well.
Delicious quesadillas and Kona beer at the end of the day were awesome!
The cheeseburger also had solid meat and was delicious.
I also want to go eat other menus!

I would give 5 stars but the construction below was able to be heard on the balcony. Service was fantastic Tom and Shavan were great. I picked a beverage that had dairy in it without my knowledge and they replaced it no problem happy to do so. ( I am lactose free)

The Calamari Stack appetizer was insanely tasty and good. We wolfed it down. Mai Tais were very good. We ordered the risotto and Opa (fresh catch). Great service, food, and the views were spectacular.

Good

Was ok ...not the best food for the prices...many privileged people with bumps on their forehead from walking around with their noses up in the air...great fireworks show if you can see through the umbrellas the servers refuse to close

What a disappointment ordered drinks and an entree received drinks and waited 45 minutes just to find out she forgot to place the order for the entrees happy hour NOT. Ordered the mai tai 1944 its supposed to come with the take home glass which I had to practically beg for it. Day before service was wonderful today not even close.

Stayed for a week and tried to find a bar that compared and I couldn't. Marcos is one of the best bartenders I have had the pleasure of meeting. The fish was amazing and very meaty (almost like chicken). I was at the bar nightly and will do so on any future travels.

Could not get a seat in restaurant but got seated in bar and grill found that it was a different menu. I was really hankering for the Surf and Turf and waitress Jillian went out of her way for us. Great service with a smile would definitely recommend.

Always a go-to place when I visit. Great atmosphere, excellent service and beautiful views of the ocean. They have live music at certain times, so be sure to check because it adds a wonderfully relaxing ambiance. I have had most of the pupus that they offer and have never came upon one that I didn't enjoy. Personal favorites would be the lettuce wraps and the potstickers. My go-to drink is definitely the 1944 Mai Tai, it is made strong and delicious. Prices are pretty comparable to anywhere else in Waikiki. Overall I would highly recommend that you check this place out.

We had a good experience twice here. We got a group of 20 in only a few hours beforehand. The server that we had was EXCELLENT. She handled our big group with ease, and was extremely personable. We went back the next day for happy hour and had a very similar experience as well. Check them out! Great happy hour specials for that area, and good food.

Nice view. Menu is on a tablet, but it's rather cheesy. Don't order mozzarella salad, it's 3 little stacks of cheese and tomatoes. Steak was fatty. Thai salad was really good! Food was decent, but expected better from the hotel/restaurant.

Where to start. It took over an hour for our food to come out. It wasn t even busy. I ordered the surf and turf. Hard pass people. The entire dish came out cold and looked like it had been sitting for 20 mins. My fillet was more like a sirloin and was undercooked. It was tough to cut and stringy. The lobster was dried out and cold. My steak was charred on the exterior or blue on the inside. I ordered it medium. I couldn t get the waiter to come back so after waiting an hour for food, I just ate it. Terrible food, terrible service, simply terrible. Don t walk, run.

We had a wonderful family dinner here. Our servers were on top of everything, and dish after dish did not disappoint. Some of our personal favourites were the crab & boursin cheese luau dip (we all fought over this one!), and the watermelon and feta salad (this was shocking since I don't normally enjoy watermelon, but combined with the mint, basil, arugula, feta, and dark balsamic it was delicious - and the chili harissa was amazing, and a perfect pairing to contrast and brighten the watermelon). The Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were also gobbled up - we loved the wasabi in it to spice up the potatoes. In regards to drinks, we loved the 1944 Mai Tai (the flavour was amazing), and the mango daiquiri that came in a souvenir coconut was fun to drink out of and we were excited to bring it home. We would love to visit here again and try more dishes on the menu, especially more seafood!

Prices are about right for Waikiki, but the service from Sonya was fantastic and the food was well worth the cost.
Our group of 15 was well taken care of and all had a great time. Highly recommend this place for dinner.
Only complaint is the atmosphere. It's nestled among hotels and there is plenty of thru traffic that sort of took away from the relaxed vibe.
Highly recommend the "roll your own" lettuce wraps. Enough food for a whole meal, even though it's listed as an appetizer.

Best Mother's Day Brunch we've ever been to. Food was great, the ramen bar was a great idea for the kids. Prime Rib and Crab we're great. Only issue we had was being seated late. Our reservation time was at 8am.

Good spot to grab a drink and some food. Bar tender was very friendly and the food was excellent. Very accommodating with modifications to the drinks. The rum and coke could use some help but all the other drinks we had were excellent. If your looking for a table you might want to make a reservation before hand or sit at the bar like we did. Cheers and have a drink for me.

During my stay in Honolulu, I visited this restaurant twice. The menu is cleverly presented on an electronic tablet and menu items are listed, when the item is touched, a photo of the selected item is displayed along with a more detailed description. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Portions are of medium size, but for the price paid, I would have expected larger portions. There's a large selection of beer and cocktails, which can vary in price from reasonable to outrageous, so check carefully before you order one of their specialty cocktails.

The Five-0 Lava Flow was the best drink I have ever had on the island! The food was spectacular and worth every penny! There is also a photographer who will take framed photos (you can choose from) with each costing 10 dollars.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with this place. Love the burgers, fries are on the thick side, but still pretty good. Check in on Yelp and you get a specific free app which is a $13 value. Great ocean views!
