The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very welcoming and attentive. I've never encountered a friendlier waitress. I had the Pad Thai add beef and it was delicious. I could eat it every day. My cousins had the drunken noodles and crab fried rice. We also had the veggie gyozas and fried Crab Rangoon. I wish the crab rangoon was crispier, but it was still good. MPM is a very cute space. I love the design of tiki bars and I think it's the best place for a first date or girls day out. I will be returning to check out their happy hour and specialty cocktails. read more

We were in the area for our anniversary and found this tiki bar (we LOVE tiki bars lol), so of course we had to stop in. At first, I wasn't completely sold after looking at the menu as I didn't immediately see anything I wanted to eat as most tiki bars we have been to are more on the dive bar side so regular bar foods. So, the plan was to grab a couple drinks and find dinner somewhere else nearby. I am so glad my fiancé talked me into staying because this place absolutely knocked me off my feet. -I highly recommend the Nuclear Hawaiian and the Hello Kitty!!!! When we mentioned we weren't sure about the food, the bartenders jumped right in with recommendations and suggested the calamari and crab rangoon and they were spot on! When the food arrived, everything was perfectly cooked. The calamari was tender with a great texture, and the crab rangoon was crisp with amazing flavor. I went from I am not hungry to I could eat multiple plates of the same thing. We ended up staying for hours watching college football and mingling with some of the regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and we genuinely had such fun conversation with people around us. We even heard from several folks that this place really comes alive during karaoke nights. At one point an older heavyset lady who we later found out was one of the cooks came out to chat with people. She was checking in to make sure everyone liked their food and catching up with the regulars like family. it really showed how much the staff cares about the people that walk through the door. MPM Tiki Bar feels like a true local gem with great drinks, delicious food, and a staff that makes you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here multiple times a week. if your anywhere near this restaurant, dont skip this spot trust me! read more

The service was good but it seemed like we may have gone on a busier night; therefore, there were only two servers so it took a while to get served/refills. When the server did stop by, he was very attentive and kind. The food was not what we expected. We found this place on social media as one of our favorite influencers in the area had recently shared a video review here. We ordered almost everything they ordered, but we were disappointed with the short ribs (on top of mashed potatoes) and the green curry. The crab rangoons, Brussels sprouts, and larb burger were the best things we had. Overall, if you are looking for more Thai based food, I would not recommend. read more

Great service and our meals were delicious. We sat outside , waiter took our order, meals came out fast and he came back a few times to refill our water. read more

Food is A tier in here, crab rangoons are the best I've ever had and usually I get the wings here and on occasion some drunken noodles. It's a good time, this may be the only place around here other than Mona's lounge that has a DJ on the weekend. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Short Pump (4.5). The food is consistently good, the bar selection is excellent (although no dark beers on draft, which is my husband's go-to) and good vibes. This time we ordered beers, pad see ew with beef, pad Thai with chicken, and fried tofu. I wish we has more because I was craving leftovers and there were some but I felt like it was the right things to let my child have them. Why must I be so selfless lol. Our app came out after the entrees, but not a big deal. Server was friendly. read more

First place I ate at for my virginia trip and it was a great choice. the food here was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, the ambiance was perfect. I got the drunken noodles at a level 3 spice. I tend to think that food is never spicy enough (go figure), but level 3 hit the spot. overall i would 100% come back here again. read more

This spot is a vibe! I love the ambiance here and I feel like I'm transported to some Asian country honestly. The service here was amazing. They do get pretty busy so reserve online before you head there. They also have a great happy hour from 3-6:30! Let's talk food! Their drinks are superior. Aesthetic, delicious and super strong. I loved the effort they put into presentation cause I love a cute drink! The food, we ordered the crab Rangoon for the appetizer. The Rangoon were filled with straight cream cheese with little to no crab. So that was disappointing and a waste of $14. I got their pad sew ew, it wasn't my favorite and I've definitely had better at hole in the wall Thai restaurants. My partner got the beef bulgogi bowl. He described that as "okay." The portions were decent. I'd be willing to try other dishes cause I've heard such great things. read more

A little girls dinner on a school night with with two of my sidekicks for an evening @mpmtikibar. The space is so inviting and the staff is amazing! We decided to give their Monday $10 burger special (Larb Burger 4/5 and Tiki Burger 3.4/5) served with piping hot fries (5/5) a try but we also found some pretty refreshingly delicious drinks (shout out to the bartender, lol...the pain killer and mango mojito both 5/5), Crab Rangoon were huge with plenty of filling (4.1/5) and the Korean sauced wings (4.6/5) and Honey BBQ (4.1/5)crispy but still juicy and massive wings! If in SP give them a try! Gotta make it back for HH! read more

I got a reservation for Friday night at 7:30 for my wife and me, which was great. To our surprise, they had a cool two-seater raised booth, which gave it the appearance of a step up from a standard table, even if it wasn't . For whatever the reason, I just wasn't in the mood for any of the dishes they had to offer, so I ordered the buffalo wings. They were ok, and the fries were pretty basic. My wife had the caesar salad with grilled chicken and she said it was good. We order chicken fried rice "to go" for our son and his feedback was , it was ok. I pass this place often and wanted to try it out because it always seems like the place to be. perhaps, I'll get be it another shot because I must be missing something. read more

So I took out my wife and daughter for mother's Day around 1:30pm and we sat out on the patio. We ordered drinks and Crab Rangoon. The appetizer was very good and it was crispy and the drinks were cold. The service was great. Our server was so personable and funny. He cracked us up. He reminded me of Chang from The Hangover movie, he was awesome. We had some ride kids driving around with horribly loud music which disturbed us but kids will be kids. All in all it was great read more

Did not live up. I have heard this place is really hit or miss, and it was a total miss for us. It was so poor we left for dinner elsewhere. The drinks were overall good. the ambience was okay, but felt dirty. The food was sooo lack luster. The fries were soggy and tasted like old oil. We didn't even finish the crab rangoons, which is saying something. They were expensive for what they were and how many you got. The calamari was a good portion but lacked in seasoning all together. Our server was nice, but the experience was not. read more

Stopped by here on a whim for a late night dinner. Most of the food seemed to be Thai or Chinese style. Luckily everything I ordered was surprisingly good. Standouts for me were the chicken curry roti, crab fried rice, and also the crab rangoon. This place seems to get really crowded and loud though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I wouldn't come here if you're looking for a quiet date night. Overall though I would definitely come back as the food alone was really good. read more

I've driven by this spot a few times, so I was excited to finally try it a few weekends my first impression was that the ambiance was great-- the restaurant was full of people at around 6 PM on a Friday night, and the decoration was fun and eye catching. I found the service to be great and responsive as well, our waitress was consistent on checking in with us, yet also very accommodating when we were feeling a little indecisive. The food itself was passable, but it doesn't help that there are a lot of quality Thai restaurants in the area with similar offerings and better serving sizes/execution. For instance, I can speak to the stir fried/vegetable dishes; I ordered the basil eggplant (pictured), and there was a disappointing lack of the dish's namesake. I also tried the happy hour calamari which was quite delicious. I give a 3/5 stars because I am not sure if I would return specifically for the food; however, the restaurant itself and happy our offerings are definitely worth checking out at least once. read more

Loved this place. The ambience was excellent, the Christmas decor was pretty. Food was fresh and hot. Would have gotten 5 stars but my lettuce wraps couldn't tell if my chicken was cooked in a burnt pan but nothing else had that flavor. That tasted burnt not smokey. But everything else was wonderful. read more

I got the Fried Calamari ($11, typically $14) during happy hour, Drunken Noodles with Duck($20) and a Thai tea($5). Thai Tea was great! It had the right balance of sweetness. The Fried Calamari was great for an appetizer for two during happy hour. The batter was great not overly battery, but still had perfect friedness to it. The drunken noodle had a small kick to it at a level 2 spice. The noodles were seasoned perfectly and were super savory. The duck was a bit average, the skin could've been cooked a bit more crispier and the meat itself felt like it could've tasted much better. Staff was a little slow during the happy hour, but it wasn't bad. Overall it was a good experience, the food is good but on a slightly on the pricier side for Thai food. Food(50%): 7.9 Staff/service(25%): 6.5 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 7.1/10 read more

We've been here a number of times for drinks and it's always a great experience. It's got a fun vibe with a tiki bar in the front of the restaurant, enclosed booths, and karaoke in the back room some nights. It's a little loud but not too loud you can't hear your conversation. Everything comes out very quickly and is so delicious! Every single thing we ordered was cooked perfectly and had an amazing flavor. The staff are so friendly and the owner is very present. We were told a 25 minute wait and it was maybe ten tops. The prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. Everything is so good you could even just get a few appetizers and be happy. Definitely one of our regular places. read more

Great experience all around. Food is the quality you'd expect from this group. Great cocktail menu. Staff is engaged. Service is surprisingly fast for a place/crowd this size. Only knock would be volume. Place is incredibly loud. read more

This is a fun place to go for great cocktails. Not only are the drinks unique, they offer a wide variety whether you enjoy a classic old fashioned or something more on the wild side like a French Candy (Hennessy, yogurt, oat milk, blueberries, and aromatic bitters). Our group tried several different drinks during happy hour and even stuck for dinner! I loved the salmon poke bowl! I typically order the green curry fried rice but decided to try something new. It was fresh, flavorful, and very filling. We also tried some of the traditional Thai cuisine and the were pleased with our choices. PS: They have karaoke after 10PM on Friday's and Saturday's read more

Tried out this place with some friends recently. Very cute-tiki bar theme. Waitress was a little interesting- came to the table to take my order 3 times before my friends arrived after I said I was waiting for friends. We ordered the larb lettuce wraps, green curry, fried tofu, and ginger fish. The fish was my absolute favorite. Enjoyed every dish we ordered and found the food to be fairly authentic Thai. I did feel the drinks were slightly overpriced and didn't love the mule that I ordered. Probably shouldn't order a mule at a tiki bar though. Definitely will be go back! read more

I tried this restaurant at lunch time on a Sunday. It was pretty empty but loved the design and patio option outside. I originally went to the old location directly off broad street but the restaurant moved so now it is across from Dave and Buster's. I tried the crab Rangoon and pad see ew. Both had a nice flavor and the spice level was perfect for the pad see ew. Overall, I had a great experience and I look forward to trying the drinks in the future! read more

I barely post reviews of the places I go to but this one had to be reviewed. I placed an order for delivery through DoorDash and not only did I receive the wrong item, but the food I got was MOLDY--completely inedible and a serious health risk! When I called the store, they told me to bring the food in so they could "verify" the issue. After going through the hassle of returning the item in person, they then refused to take responsibility and told me to contact DoorDash instead. To make matters worse, DoorDash offered no resolution--no refund, no credit, nothing. Apparently, both the restaurant and DoorDash believe it's acceptable to serve spoiled food and leave the customer to deal with it. This is beyond poor service; it's negligence. If you care about food safety and customer service, avoid this place and be cautious when ordering through DoorDash. I wouldn't trust either of them with my money--or my health. read more

Absolutely love this place. First, the staff is amazing. They'll make you feel like family; especially when you're a regular. Next, coming from someone who adores wings, they have the best wings in Richmond. They're super crispy, not too breaded, and they have great sauces to choose from. The crispy chicken sandwich is incredible too. Don't sleep on it just because it's a Thai restaurant! They also have some pretty delicious burgers. For the Thai food, it's all delicious, but some of the standouts are the drunken noodles, the poke bowls, the pad Thai, roti curry, and crab rangoons. But honestly, it's all delicious! Another thing that sets them apart from other Thai places in the short pump area is the tiki table installations. Super cute and intimate seats in their own little tiki huts. The perfect spot for date night:) As a last note, if you love mezcal, try the Archibald! If the little guy is around he might make an appearance at your table read more

I enjoyed the food at MPM Tiki Bar. The customer service was amazing. We were greeted quickly, and the hostess sat me and one other party guest that arrived with me very fast. Though at points there was a hangup with a few of our appetizers. Our waitress made sure to keep us informed of the status of our main meal and additional apps that we ordered along with quickly gaining and bringing back refills of various drinks. I did try and enjoy the Singha Thai lager, which was amazing, crisp, slightly sweet, and not too heavy. My food came out as requested without the eggs and tomatoes that I am highly allergic to. The pineapple fried rice with the chicken, which was my main dish, was good; the rice was cooked well, and I enjoyed eating the food from the pineapple. Things that I also enjoyed were the Korean-sauced chicken wings; the beef bulgogi was a little salty for me but was great. The spring rolls were good along with the pork belly. The next time I'm here, I need to try the dumplings. The environment and ambiance were good, along with a good selection of music that played throughout the night. There is a small stage in the back that looks like it's for a live band can perform.There is parking in the parking garage. All in all I plan to come back. read more

We had a large table in the back for my wife's birthday and seated all 8 of us very comfortably. Waiter was great in recommending dishes and all of it was good.

Excellent, strong cocktails. The menu is versatile, with a ton of flavorful options. The calamari is plump, with light crispy breading. . The lamb chops are tender and juicy, but would be better served with fried rice versus the mashed potatoes that left something to be desired. They tasted instant and lacked flavor. The wings were crispy and the soy sauce coating was sweet and finger-licking. The salmon tacos were bursting with flavor and the fish was cooked to perfection. read more
