I waited for about 20 minutes when I went to lunch, but it was a nice restaurant with a view of the sea. The service was very pleasant and the chocolate banana shake, cheeseburger and sandwiches were all very good. The potatoes served were also changed and it was delicious, and it was a shop with a feeling of sticking to dishes. I want to go to breakfast this time.

Gillian was amazing! Brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and we had the greatest talks, on a whim told our server that we were celebrating her birthday and all of the wait staff brought a piece of cake out with a personal message on it and sang happy birthday! Such a fun place. Guava ribs were yummy. Today it was raining but it would be a great patio for sunsets.

Great atmosphere and what about the decor and views of Waikiki Beach . Excellent inputs and friendly service. By cons is still very expensive . Tartar is really delicious by against the ribs were disappointing. I recommend this restaurant

Last night we had the best time at dinner that I think I've ever had! Our
server Alex was amazing and full of personality. She was
attentive, entertaining and knowledgeable. Our view of the ocean was perfect. She is a huge asset to your
restaurant and deserves much kudos. We will definitely be back soon! Make sure you ask to sit at her tables. You will not be disappointed. She made the evening very enjoyable.
Great live music. The cobbler Alex recommended was outstanding

Good Mai Tais and beer. The place overlooks Waikiki Beach and has a great vibe to it. The also have live music which has been great every time I've been. Definitely a must do in Honolulu.

Came to Waikiki for my honeymoon and had such a blast at the Aston. The best part of it was the great service from Amby and Ben at the Tiki Bar and Grill, they made us feel welcomed and the food and drinks were great. Definitely will come back to Tiki! Drinks are great and the service was just as good!

Ocean view is great, service is quick and friendly.

Menu is great as well, covers many types of dishes. Fish, burger, sliders, pork, enchilada, poke bowl, soup, pasta, etc.

Ingredients are good quality. Much better than Lulu s.

One warning though, Mai Tai s are very strong.

They said it would take 25-30 minutes to get us a table and it ended up being an hour. The food also took a long time to get out of the kitchen. The waiters were very polite and nice about everything. The worst part about it was the food being so over priced. The portions were extremely small.Don't understand how or why this place has so many good reviews and high ratings. I actually recommend the place right underneath tikis. It's very good.

Good food Just hard to find. If driving, you're going to have to drop the car off with the valets. It's in lower Waikiki so walking is doable. The food is great. It's a little pricey. Ask for the 'other' menu. Good place to watch the sun set.

Great food but I thought the ambiance was a little tired and touristy. Prices were a bit high for the casual atmosphere but I enjoyed it. Not an upscale place but has upscale pricing. Food was really good!

Food was very tasty but cold service was good and friendly.Some person claiming to work there taking photos and trying to charge $50 bucks per photo is a bit steep and offensive, thinks tourist are stupid with bottomless pockets.

Food was very good. Waited a long time for some one to take order. We were told to sit at any table. Menus on table. Service walked passed us for 45 min before our order was taken. Hostess was called and she offered us potstickers as a sorry. Beautiful view of Waikiki Beach. Attached to Aston Hotel.

Food is great, but Chase is what brought us here. She met us at a different location, invited us for the NYE party, and we ve been here at least once a day, every day of our vacation! Thanks to Chase, Ambee, and the entire NYE bartenders and staff, we were able to bring in 2020 in the best way possible!

Made a reservation online, we was seated really fast then forgotten for 25 minutes. Then a waiter came over gave us our menus, then 10 more minutes go by a waitress gives us water. Then 15 minutes later we got up and left. Walked down a few blocks and got food. The only reason we was going to try tiki grill is cause it was in our hotel. Worst mistake ever.

Love this place!! Very friendly staff!! Very romantic & cozy!! You can dine outside by the ocean or dine inside. Or you can sit on the bar side outside by the ocean where they play live music. Food is excellent!! Prices are very reasonable compared to some of the other places. Best part for my husband & I was this restaurant is located at the hotel we stayed at on the same floor as the pool. So if we wanted to order food & drinks & eat it while we relaxed by the pool we were able to do so or if we wanted to get dressed up & eat out without walking far we were able to eat inside the restaurant & if we were looking enough we were able to eat on the balcony area. Which is halfway inside & halfway outside over looking the ocean which was very romantic. They even took our pictures one night while we were getting to know a couple we met on the beach.

Great place if you are a coeliac. They looked after us and made sure there was no cross contamination. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Portion sizes were just right and the food was delicious.

Amazing "Bar" staff..poetry in motion. They could teach other bars how to "do it well"!! They make their customers feel special and want to come back. We will definitely be back!! Special mention to Rick, Eric and Trent.

Happy hour specials and live music! Food is excellent and in my opinion the best calamari steak on island. Bartenders and servers are always friendly and helpful. It's just a great place with an amazing view of the ocean and beach. Love it :)

Lunch was good. View is good. Dont tell the waitress you are going to just have dessert and drinks though, you won't see her again for over half an hour until she drops the tab off. Service needs to be on a much higher level than what this place has. Drinks are around 10 bucks which is normal for the area, but half of the menu is only available in expensive souvenir mugs. Dont come if you are looking for a nice bar to have a few drinks.

My friend Jayme had her Graduation celebration at tikis with a wonderful pupu buffet. Lincoln was a great server and awesome host. Food was delicious!!! If you ever have an event at tikis, I recommend the coconut shrimp, lemongrass chicken satay, beef gyoza, caprese crositini, Thai spring rolls and BBQ ribs. Wonderful atmosphere beautiful sunset!!!Watch out for freeloaders thinking it's part of the happy hour free for all. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with great food and drinks this is the place....don't forget to ask for Lincoln...

The drinks were FANTASTIC! I loved the high quality glassware with the fun designs that they let you keep with your drink order. (Side note: I'm totally bummed that I accidentally left the glassware in my
Uber) If I had come here solely for drinks, this would easily be 5 stars. Unfortunately, I had a much less pleasant experience with my server and the food.

Service is very slow here. My friend and I waited over 25 minutes just for our server to come take our order. Once our order was placed, it was around 45 minutes for the food to come out.

We ordered:
*Beef gyoza: this was CAKED in oil. When I bit into it, oil just gushed out of the wonton shell and that's all I could taste.
*Grilled Hawaiian catch: this was supposed to come with a side of potato lumpia, but my dish came with some mashed root (perhaps purple potatoes?). When I asked my server about it, she replied "yeah, we're out of the lumpia". Perhaps this should have been relayed to me so I could have picked another side. The fish itself was pretty bland as well.
*Nori wrapped ahi tuna: way too heavy on the wasabi- it overpowered everything. The bed of rice underneath the ahi was also very cold, like it had just come out of the refrigerator.

Without asking if we wanted any dessert or more drinks, our server brought the check out to the table. I showed her the yelp check in for the complimentary beef gyoza and my friend asked "we have this, are we allowed to use it?" The server just replied "ummm... let me check". I have never had an issue with any establishment accepting a yelp check in offer. She comes back and says that because she had already printed the check, there was no way for her to modify it, and they wouldn't accept the yelp check in offer. Service sucked, as well as the food. I would only come here for drinks.

Very good food (especially seafood, duh!) in a very friendly, informal, yet sophisticated atmosphere.
The place is upscale without showing off, in a subdued attitude that makes one feel very comfortable and at home.
Seafood was superb, the view (sunset on the ocean) the perfect counterpoint to an excellent dinner.

Seriously the best experience we have had on the island thus far. The wait staff and bartenders are so friendly and attentive. The happy hour is reasonably priced and the food is delicious. We will certainly be back.

Food was fairly average, not worth the amount they charge.
Location is great, with good views.
The staff are condescending and when asked if we can sit near the water they direct us to a table far from it even though there are several empty tables with good views.

Disappointing after reading other reviews

First time here due to gift cards from a friend. Food was excellent and atmosphere was pretty calm due to it being New Years Day in Waikiki. Casual, friendly place to enjoy a meal and overlook the oceanfront.

We went here twice while we were visiting hawaii and it was the best food we had on the island! All 4 of us had different meals two different times and everything was amazing. Service was great, presentation was great and you can't beat the location right on Waikiki Beach!

Great place to relax and unwind. The waitress and manager were very friendly and attentive. We mentioned that we got married in the Coconut Club and the food was catered from Tiki's. The manager told us that they no longer cater to the Club and the hotel now uses the room as a mini bar and continental breakfast area for the guest. That's so sad. It's a wonderful venue for a wedding, grad party or birthday party. But not to worry, you can also book an area at the Tiki Grill & Bar with just as spectacular view, wonderful staff and great food.

After a long day a traveling this is where we went to dinner we got something would like to eat the service was amazing and the food was very very good we will be there again in our extended stay

Terrible Service...it took 1.5 hrs to get the food and it was a Monday night. It was also terrible food! I got the Macadamia Crusted fish and it was cold and not good. Thankfully the server was nice enough to remove from bill. Even my husbands quesadilla was soggy and gross. I would not recommend at all as it s overpriced and not worth the wait!

Amazing place!! I went to Tikis on my last night in Honolulu and as soon as we got there me and my boyfriend were so happy with absolutely everything. The hostess was so nice and polite and the view from the outside tables is amazing!! The food and the people working there are very polite and they are always taking care of you! Can t recommend it enough
Extra tip: get the watermelon Chi chi, SO GOOD
