    Tiki chicken salad with papaya dressing. Mac salad.
    Gabrielle V.

    The cutest restaurant I have even been to. Seriously, their decor is next level. The service also gets ten stars. The server was so nice and helpful despite it being super busy. Since it was our first trip, they gave us samples of each of the meats to help us order better. Yes everything comes on compostable paper plates- honestly it probably saves them some valuable real estate in the kitchen. They staff were super efficient- I watched the chefs through the window while waiting for a table and it was honestly impressive. Everything we had was delicious- the mac salad was the only thing I wouldn't get again and thats personal preference - I have no doubt theirs is more authentic than what I prefer. I am already itching to go back to try more.

    If you're looking for a tiki bar in Tacoma that serves up some tasty Hawaiian food, then head over to Da Tiki Hut on 6th Ave near Stevens St. When you enter the front door and they take you back to the bar area, it definitely gives "speakeasy" and island vibes at the same time. Recommendation: Try the combo plate, which includes 3 meats (Tiki Chicken, Korean Chicken, Kalua Pork), white rice and choice of Mac or Green salad. So good!

    A Hawaiian restaurant order-in-front when you first step in, revealing a nice indoor dining area behind a hidden-like door with a tiki bar ambience. We dined in so that we could try out the tiki bar along with some food. You only need to order at the front if you are doing takeout. When we first seated, they gave us a small tasting of 3 meats for the plates - tiki chicken, Korean chicken, and kalua pork. The chicken was a bit dry but the kalua pork is good, so we opted to get a different dish instead of our planned combo plate lunch. We tried Ben's Special Loco Moco which has a hamburger patty and kalua pork, with 3 fried eggs, served with rice and mac salad. We also got a spicy musubi which is a spam musubi with house spicy sauce. They deliver these in paper plates and disposable utensils which is not the most environmentally friendly, but food did come out fast. The loco moco is decent, up to par, but the rice is a bit mushy and overcooked. The kalua pork is pretty flavorful, but had a bit too much fat overall. Additionally, because of egg shortage, they charged $3 more than the menu price so temporarily, I would not recommend ordering the loco moco dishes. The spam musubi is decent too, cut in half and it was a large musubi for $4. We also ordered some drinks which were fairly strong: Okolemaluana Mai Tai that tastes a little more fruit forward than the standard Mai Tai, Test Pilot that is more spirit forward, and Sea Foam Swell that is less strong and more sweet, topped with whipped cream, which is my favorite drink here of the 3. For dessert, we got the ube mochi brownie which is light and flavorful. For $2.75, this was an excellent price Overall, food is decent but forgettable, but I recommend the drinks here as they are very strong and for a below average price for the area.

    Unfortunately some very dry takeout I picked up for my wife's birthday dinner. I'm not sure what's happened with this place ‍

    Picked up what we were hoping was an amazing dinner for the wifey's birthday but what we got was overly dry and very disappointing I guess over time some places just fall off

    Tried this place after my Niece saw a TikTok review. When we arrived we were surprised to see it was a place we'd driven by a million times but never even noticed it. Because it was our first time there the waitress brought out a small sample of each meat they offered for everyone at the table and it was the perfect gesture as all of us need up ordering their large combo. The decor theme was so cute and interesting. With the background music it really felt like you were on a mini vacation. Service was great, food was perfectly flavored and this place is truly a hidden gem.

    Arrived at 1230 and was Meet with a smile. Seated immediately and got a sample of the meat. Cool ambiance with a tiki vibe. Food was awesome, I had the combo plate and all threeeats were delicious. One small plate, combo plate, and a tiki soda was about$50. This will be new lunch spot in Tacoma. Only one vegetarian opt Kid friendly

    Four small pieces of pork belly for what I paid I expects more.

    Food was good but the portions were very small. I ordered the pork belly plate and got 4 small strips of pork belly.

    Da Tiki Hut is a Tacoma staple on 6th Ave. I've heard that it's fantastic, so beyond pleased we gave it a try for lunch today! The ambiance once you get past the front and into the dining area, blew us away! It's such a cool place- truly "tiki-vibes". The service was fantastic and started with a small sampler for each of us with all their meats- kahlua pork, teriyaki chicken, and more. After sampling that, I opted for the mochiko chicken plate, fried chicken bites with a spicy mayo, came with rice and your choice of macaroni salad or a green salad. I love Hawaiian macaroni salad- and I chose that, was delicious. My husband had the spicy poke plate, he said it was one of the best dishes he has had. We couldn't fit in dessert- but the pineapple upside down cake or dole whip sounded amazing! Highly recommend Da Tiki Hut!

    I looked this place up and didn't see the picture. We went to check out the tiki bar and was a little confused when we walked in . There is a counter that you order food but didn't see anything else. Thought we were at the wrong place. I asked for the tiki bar and was then escorted through a door into a great little restaurant and led to the tiki bar in the back. Yay!!! It was dimly lit ... like you'd expect and had a great bar tender who made us delicious tiki drinks. They had several to choose from and he talked with us while we enjoyed our tiki drinks. They offer really good b-bque and we were offered samples of each choice when we sat down. I wished we had the time to eat but we were meeting family at another location. I would go back for that b/bque!!! It was a great find in an unexpected location. Can't wait to go back.

    Ok, I'm going to have to bump this place up to five stars now. I was here years ago and there wasn't much of an atmosphere going on. But now there is just dollops of atmosphere now since Da Tiki Hut went through some remodels it is completely different and unrecognizable from before. The food is as good as I remember it as we tried several different kinds of meats which were delicious. I got Kahlua Pork which was wonderful but the Korean Chicken and the Tiki Chicken were fantastic also. I got a small plate of the Kahlua Pork with rice and macaroni salad. I got the pineapple upside down cake again and Steve got a great mochi cake. Cocktails are here and I got the Classic Mai Tai which was good but really strong! Steve got the Saturn cocktail which was good, not as strong as mine but I liked the garnish decoration looking like the planet. I'd love to come back here again and hopefully not so many years would pass before tge return trip. *Update* We got two kinds of Misubi and it was great! Definitely recommend!

    Can Da Tiki Hut accommodate at party of eight?

    I think they can. The bar area is tiny and 3 booths maybe 6 at a table . You could split up. There is a handful of bar seats and then booths in the dining area as well. Maybe 2 booths back to back.

    Is Da Tiki Hut finally open again after the remodel from the fire?

    Yes it is!!! Woohoo! Come on down

There are several great tiki bars in Tacoma, with one (Devil's Reef) literally a block away from McMenamin's. But where Devil's Reef leans into the shipwreck aesthetic, Old Hangout reflects more of a tropical cabana. The water feature and fire pit are excellent touches, adding kinetic energy to the bar. Plenty of mood lighting, neon paint, and secluded little booths make this a fantastic date spot. Plus, being able to take your drinks and wander the rest of the building is a neat perk. Their drink presentation is delightful, and they offer more than just the standard tiki fare. After trying several different drinks, I've landed on the Mermaid Spit as my favorite. The sugar on the rim and bright blue color make it a fun treat. The Hawai'i Five-O burger is my favorite dish, with the appetizer sampler a close second. I'd pass on the Banh Mi sandwiches - they're bland, not filled well, and I actually chipped my tooth on one. Occasionally, the bar will flash and a thunderclap will echo through the room. I wish all the bars in McMenamin's were as intricately themed as Old Hangout because I'd spend a lot more time here. As it is, you'll still be spending plenty of money.

To the layman it may seem like just a dark "pirate" or "tiki bar", but the focus is really more centered around Lovecraftian and cosmic horror - not something you see you often but very much appreciated among those who are familiar. The menu is accessed by QR codes on the table. They have an *extremely* long list of cocktails, all named appropriately with the theming, but somewhat lacking in variety. Most of the cocktails are some combination of rum, spices, lime/lemon, and maybe something else fruity or sweet. My wife had a Ships from Far Shores while I enjoyed an Astro Orbiter.

They also have standard as well as unique takes on tiki drinks. We were surprised to find so many options with vodka and tequila which isn't common in a more traditional tiki bar We had the: - "Kiki Premier Mai Tai" which wasn't as rum forward as we would have thought, especially given how many rums it had in it; but overall it was a classic style Mai Tai and tasty with quality rums - "One Eyed Willy" which has a fun presentation in a chest with smoking dry ice. This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot. The taste was very unexpected, in a good way, and is a drink I would get again Overall the drinks were about a 4/5 but with the charming atmosphere and whimsical presentation it's a 5 star experience that is just fun

It's not terrible but for the price it's not really worth it, even at happy hour prices. Examples: meat is super dried out and flavorless, deviled eggs are $4 for one USDA medium (or maybe small?) egg. I think the only reason to go here would be for the convenience (proximity to the convention center, etc) or the cocktails if you like that type of drink. Or maybe for a work happy hour if the boss is paying! Staff were friendly and service worked like a well-oiled machine. Pretty small space overall, seating for maybe 20 parties plus a bar (unless there's a back room somewhere that I didn't see). There's a outdoor bar/counter; not sure if it's available during the warmer months or if it's now a relic of early COVID outdoor dining. They do take reservations. This is an automatic 20% service charge place, which is fine as they're very clear and upfront about it. The awkward part is the credit card reader then also asks you to add a 2%, 4%, or 6% tip and it's set up such that the user interface makes it more difficult to add 0 tip than to add an additional tip. Besides which, the wait person is staring at you (and the screen) the whole time. From a monetary perspective, I don't mind tipping an extra ~5% on top of the service fee, as I would have tipped around 25% regardless, but I hate coercive UX/UI design choices like this on principle because it's skeezy. I hope the 20% is at least going to the staff and not leaving them to tip out off of people's 2% tips because that would be rough....!

The Cajun tots we received were cold and hardly any Cajun spice on them. I thought they mistakenly gave us the plain tots. No cutlery was offered with our sandwiches. We asked for a condiment but didn't get it until we were nearly done eating. It was a bummer as I was showing this place to a friend. I had talked it up and was left disappointed.
