This place is always a fun experience for the kids. I'm not really a frequent customer here. I've been maybe three times in a year. I don't expect much fanfare. It's basic Hawaiian food and drinks. Got the Loco Moco with the Mac Salad. The hamburger patty was a bit too salty. The patty itself was tender though. Mac Salad was good. Had a lot of egg yolk mixed in. Pineapple fried rice was good. Kids killed their portions pretty quick. Biggest hit was the fish and chips. The fish was super fresh and tender. The batter was really crispy. Definitely will get this again. I would say the cocktails were a bit too light. Need a little more booze to really enjoy it. We sat in the booth. It was long but narrow. The table filled pretty quick with all the dishes so it was a bit of a struggle to make space and be comfortable. Don't forget to check out the fish tank and take a cute picture at the shell bench. read more

Went to Royal Hawaiian for a friend's birthday (party of 6) and it was really good! To start, everyone at the table loved the alcoholic beverages that they ordered, there were no complaints there! I got a mocktail and it was really good too! So drinks were amazing! Food-wise, this place is great as well. We got the Pupu Platter, which was really good! The bloomin' onion was great, along with the lumpia and chicken that came on the platter. We also got the spam musubi which was pretty good, just a tad overpriced for what it is. I think appetizer-wise, just stick with the platter and you'll be happy. All the entrees were well received by our party as well. I ordered the chicken which was great, but also heard great things about the short ribs, the shrimp pasta, and the katsu sandwich. What I really enjoyed about this place was the ambiance! The place is decked out in amazing tiki bar decor and it is very immersive. Overall I recommend this place! read more

Fun tiki bar vibes with live music and awesome cocktails! Today was my fiancé's last day in Laguna so we decided to go to Royal Hawaiian! When she first moved to Laguna this was one of the first places she went so it was fitting. First off the decor is spot on, they didn't miss a single inch of the place. There was a live band playing some great music. We each got a specialty cocktail in a souvenir glass. I got the Royal Hawaiian which had 2 types of rum, a light and a dark, with some citrusy notes. It was pretty good, decently strong. She got the Dragon's Milk which was soooo good. If you like piña coladas you'll like this drink, it's not the same it's much more coconut flavor and complex but very sweet. For dinner I got the top sirloin culotte with garlic butter veggies and pineapple slaw. It was cooked a perfect medium rare but could've used more seasoning. The sides were perfect. She got the Huli Huli chicken and the same sides. The chicken was cooked nicely and still pretty juicy. It had a good flavor from the citrus lemongrass marinade. I'll have to go back and try some other dishes sometime. The service was great, always someone coming by to fill our waters and take away finished plates. Our server was so nice and helpful choosing some cocktails from their extensive menu. Thanks for a great night Royal Hawaiian! read more

So the first time I came to the Royal Hawaiian I had an amazing time, as noted is my last review, this time, I have to say we really didn't have that same great time. This time we were with our kids so we had to sit at a table, and this was a VASTLY different experience from the bar. There was only one server handling the entire restoring as far as people actually seated at tables. First off there wasn't enough menus and they kept having to be passed table to table which was quite annoying for the way we like to sip and eat. Next we got mostly ignored the entire time, there wasn't even many people in the restaurant and it took about 50 minutes to get our first drink. The food was good, same as last time really, but the drinks were also not the same at all, I'm not sure what was going on but everything was much more mild on the rum, and the flavors were not the same. The final part came in the form of us leaving, as we left we walked by a christmas specials menu... That wasn't even offered to us the entire time we were there and we would have loved to try it out. :/ I can see myself coming back for the bar only, but im not sure I will come back with the family and the intention of sitting at a table. It's a shame, this is something that has to be fixed, there is not only history in the place, but it is TRULY gorgeous inside. read more

The Service here is amazing! Omar was great the entire night. I appreciate the entire staff for taking care of our large party for my friends birthday. I would come back for service and drinks alone. The food was okay. I ordered the garlic shrimp noodles, good portion decent flavor. You have the option to add chicken for an extra 6$. Some of the girls opted for that and really enjoyed it. All of the drinks we ordered that I was able to try were really good. The restaurant itself was very cute and perfectly themed. read more

The Royal Hawaiian is one of the oldest tiki bars in California, originally established in 1947. It is located in Laguna Beach right on Pacific Coast Highway near Cliff Drive. Parking is generally pretty hard to find in this area. However, if you are coming south on PCH, right before you get to the building, there is a driveway and small valet parking lot on the right. The first two hours is free if you present a receipt from the restaurant after your visit. After that, it is $10 per hour. The valet personnel were professional and took good care of my car. They do have patio seating out front, but obviously you want to be inside. They have a restaurant style dining area, but I would recommend sitting in the bar area which is more lively and has a lot to look at. We sat at the bar instead of at one of the tables or booths in the bar area. This allowed us to enjoy chatting with the staff. We even met a couple sitting next to us who has been coming here for 35 years. Rather than having a full dinner, we just decided to have a few rounds of drinks with some appetizers. I started out with the Banana Smuggler cocktail (pineapple & dark rums, banana du bresil, maderia reduction, $18). It had a nice banana flavor that was somewhere between light and medium, and it was a little boozy. She started out with the trademark Royal Hawaiian cocktail (gold rum, Jamaican black pot still, acid-adjusted pineapple, $18). It had a nice pineapple flavor, and was boozy. We ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer ($21.95). It came with six small to medium sized shrimp that were fried well and had a nice coconut flavor. This appetizer is way overpriced. We also ordered the steamed chicken dumplings appetizer ($15.95). It came with six medium sized dumplings that were not over-steamed or soggy, and had nice flavor. This appetizer was more reasonably priced. My second cocktail was the Triple Happiness (mezcal, blanco tequila, cherry heering, pineapple honey, fire bitters, $18). This drink came in a very cool skull cup with a flaming orange slice on top. The smokiness of the mezcal was at a good medium level, there was a light cherry flavor, and there was also a hint of heat from the fire bitters. Her second cocktail was the Chief Lapu Lapu (light & dark rums, passion fruit, orange, $18). This was a little on the sweeter side, and you could definitely taste the passion fruit. This one was very boozy. We were still a little hungry, so we ordered the Fish & Chips entrée ($25.95) to share. The two pieces of fish were fried well, and were a pretty generous size. The fries were also fresh and had a good crisp. We barely finished it all. The place has a great vibe, and there is a lot of great décor to look at. There was a DJ set up at the end of the bar playing great island music that helped set the mood. The drinks had a great presentation and we enjoyed them all. They were all somewhat on the strong and boozy side, but in a good way. The food was good, but next time we would probably eat somewhere else and then come here for a few drinks and maybe an appetizer. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and provided great service. If you go to their website, they are currently advertising a deal where if you pay your bill using the InKind rewards app, you'll get $30 off your purchase of $90 or more. I used it and it does work. We had a great time and will definitely return. read more

My family took me here for my birthday . It's a very laid back tropical vibes place that's well known for their drinks! Location is on a busy street so parking can be kind of tricky. You'll probably have to do either valet or park on the street . Service is friendly super friendly and attentive. Food to be honest was ok nothing really stood out but the drinks were on point . The price point was kind of high but you're paying for the vibes. Overall had a good time check them out yall! read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Classic tiki bar/restaurant with great drinks and good food. The hubby and I stopped in early on a Thursday evening for dinner and drinks. There was plenty of seating available but we opted to sit at the bar. This place is a Laguna Beach institution, and I think it underwent a renovation about 20 years ago. The place is huge, with a classic tiki look that's not too cheesy. Classy tiki, if you will. The hubby had the Mai Tai, which he enjoyed, and I got the Dragon's milk, which was really delicious. It was creamy with a unique flavor with the pandan and lots of fresh basil. Also not too sweet--possibly my fave tiki drink yet. While the menu was predictably meat centric, there were a few veg options: - Vegan tofu tikka masala with rice (unusual offering at a tiki bar, but welcome. Big chunks of tofu in a tomato-ginger sauce with Indian spices--we really enjoyed it) - French fries (the crinkly kind, frozen, presumably, but good) - Veg egg rolls (good, well-fried, but nothing spectacular) I saw the shrimp garlic noodles on the menu and wondered if they'd make it with tofu? Maybe I'll ask next time. Service was efficient but not overly friendly. We did strike up a nice conversation with another couple at the bar, though, which is why we like sitting at the bar sometimes. Anyhoo, a solid visit; would stop by again. read more

This is the best place in Laguna Beach by far. From the drinks, food, cool tiki ambiance, great Happy Hour and wonderful people who work here. Omar and Victoria are two of the greatest bartenders. They are both knowledgeable about the drink menu and can you a fantastic drink with or without alcohol. They are both always so accommodating and are always on top of their game and their drinks will brighten up your day and night. They are simply the best not only for making the most spectacular drinks, but because their personalities really shine. Liam the bar-back is also so kind and is such a hard worker making sure that everything is being done from clearing dishes, getting ice and even refilling your water. We don't sit at a table, however if you do Becca is a fantastic server. She's kind, warm, knows the menu and won't steer you in the wrong direction. Norma is another server who's also very kind and will have you laughing. Joe the manager does a lot wonderful job at making sure his customers are well taken care of and even figures out how to make room people looking to sit at the bar. My mom used to be a regular many years ago when the restaurant was in its original state. Several years later we both come into The Royal Hawaiian and now it's our home away from home. The few names I've named have almost come our second chosen family. I would give this place 100 stars if I could. I highly recommend this place and I guarantee you will leave more happy with a smile on your face. read more

Found this place on Instagram from oc_foodie and it was even better in person. Food was fire, highly recommend the Pupu Platter and the lava cake. The live music kept the place lively and really matched the vibe. And the service was excellent with multiple people stopping by to check in to ensure we were taken care of. Highly recommend you check it out especially if you're like me and it's been too long since your last trip to the islands. read more

Arrived late to the Royal Hawaiian, and honestly... it was kind of a bummer. The drinks are solid with no complaints there. Strong, well-made, and exactly what you want when you sit down hoping the night is about to turn around. This tiki needs something to add some life in there. Unfortunately, the vibe didn't quite show up. The place felt pretty empty and low-energy, which was surprising given the location and name. That said, there was one saving grace: a really talented guy singing in the bar. Great voice, good song choices, and basically carrying the entire atmosphere on his back. If you're looking for a lively late-night scene, this probably isn't it but it could be. Might be better earlier in the evening, or on a busier night. Good drinks, good music from one very good performer... just missing the life to match the setting. The amazing decor is a perfect combination for an amazing tiki bar that just needs people to make it the spot to be. I will be back ! read more

If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further than the Royal Hawaiian. Visited on a Thursday night and the restaurant was fairly empty. Both our host and server were upbeat and friendly. The restaurant is decked out in themed decor perfect for all the photo ops. To start I ordered the Spam Musubi. This was my first time ever having spam, and I'm glad I tried it. It wasn't anything to run home about but it was tasty. For the main I tried the Curry Pineapple Fried rice and the Machiko Chicken Bowl. The Curry Fried rice was a little salty and ended up trading entrees with my husband. He ended up asking for a side of teriyaki sauce and the creamy sauce on the chicken bowl which he says made the fried rice amazing! The Chicken bowl was delicious - the chicken crispy which paired nicely with the rice and slaw. Overall I would love to visit again and try some other menu items! read more

Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach was the perfect Christmas Eve stop for drinks and a bite with my girl. The place is spacious, the decor is on point, and it has that fun tiki vibe without feeling crowded. Service was great from the jump too. We grabbed seats at the bar and felt taken care of the whole time. We went for their seasonal holiday drinks and both were a hit. I ordered the Melted Snowman and she got the Christmas Blues. Really good flavor on both and not overly sweet like some holiday cocktails can be. For food we shared a few things. We started with the lumpia and it was a solid appetizer. Crispy, tasty, and a good starter while we sipped our drinks. For mains we split the shrimp garlic noodles and the fried fish sandwich. The noodles are a must, easily my favorite thing we ate. The fish sandwich was good too, kind of like an elevated Filet-O-Fish in the best way. I'd honestly recommend both. The only thing that wasn't my favorite was their take on the Hawaiian mac salad. It leaned more starchy and grainy than what I'm used to, so it just didn't hit for me. Everything else was on point though. Overall if you're into tiki bars and you're in Laguna this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Good drinks, good food, great service, and a chill vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. read more

Not so good! We went there yesterday (Thursday night) because we've like the food and energy in the past. However this time around, it wasn't half as busy as it seems to be on the weekends which means from where we sat- it felt kinda empty. Moreover, not only felt empty, but there was seemingly ONE waiter on staff that was running around so much that there were long durations of times between when she checked on us. Not only did it just felt static in there, but it felt like a struggle to even get checked on. But WORST of all, was the FOOD. The Mahi Mahi we ordered was likely microwaved as it was incredibly chewy. And the fried rice we ordered tasted like the grill itself. My husband said it tasted flat out old as if it had been sitting out all day. "Dry rice," he renamed it. This is sad because we have liked the fried rice in the past. We had reservations 8 PM. It is literally not our fault that everywhere in Laguna Beach closes down around this time. We are just living our lives! Hence the kitchen was apparently close to closing down after we arrived. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR DISGUSTING AND EXPENSIVE FOOD. LUCKILY, our waiter was busy but good and was gracious enough to understand our complaint and comp at least the fish. But if you so choose to dine here, they've got honestly some really good mocktails. Aside from the waiter and the mocktails, it was a disappointment and disgrace that the chef was so comfortable serving such old food. read more

A Laguna Beach icon that is impossible not to love. Always such a fun night out and an excellent way to enjoy a weekend with family or friends. The ambiance is always on point and so well decorated with all the fun tiki and Hawaiian decor. Our favorites are the curry pineapple fried rice which is sooo flavorful and the poke nachos - so fresh and has the perfect amount of fish to crispy wontons. Drinks are all delicious and in true tiki bar fashion, very strong. Service is always amazing and friendly. The lava cake dessert however was horrible for the price. Just so dry and stale. Would never get that one again. read more

We decided last minute to add Royal Hawaiian to our tiki bar tour, and we're so glad we did! The moment we walked in, the bartenders greeted us with so much excitement over our tiki attire. It happened to be Tiki Thursday, which meant a small discount on drinks if you're all decked out--so that was an unexpected win for us! We grabbed seats at the bar and had the most amazing bartender. We chatted about our tiki adventures, and he even gave us recommendations for new places to visit. For drinks, we started with the Lapu Lapu and the Royal Hawaiian. Both were absolutely fantastic--beautifully garnished and perfectly balanced. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the coconut shrimp, and both were delicious. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked spectacular, and I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Since Royal Hawaiian is also a full restaurant, we definitely hope to bring our kids someday. The décor is incredible--so much to look at! We took our time walking around to admire all the traditional tiki elements. They even have a case filled with skulls and other creepy treasures that fills with smoke--make sure to ask them to turn it on. And the booths with the jade tiles are especially beautiful. Royal Hawaiian has absolutely earned a spot on our list of favorite tiki bars in LA, and we cannot wait to return. read more

Don't come unless you're pushing 40 because I guess if you're in your 20s they're going to assume you're degenerates that don't know how to act at a restaurant?? We came because the drinks looked cool on yelp but my god why is the staff so rude?? It started at the host stand when they wouldn't even bother to look at us until we asked for a table for 6. They went nonverbal then were like "uhm ok I guess but that's 30 minutes." We were very down to wait since that's what we wanted... a table... they seemed super annoyed we even existed?? We went to check the bar because there were some seats. The bartenders didn't even want to look at us. Our friend decided to just ask the hostesses to put us on the wait. In the meantime, we wanted to order drinks. The bartender had some attitude asking for our IDS. We obviously had them on us because we weren't 16. Here's the thing, I get you can be annoyed at a younger crowd. But give us break. This was our first time here and you're telling me EVERYONE wanted to treat us like shit? No one in our group was under 25. But also just don't be rude?? Weird. When we sat at the bar our friend was trying to get our table situated. My boyfriend ordered his friend a drink in the meantime. The bartender goes "is your buddy just wandering around? This isn't a dive bar?" Like ok? Why is your attitude so weird... we know this isn't a dive bar... if we wanted to go to one we'd know where to go you weirdo... the bartender was the worst vibes. We sat there to close out because we didn't want to inconvenience him. It felt like we were being held hostage by his horrendous vibes. Shoutout Omar. You suck! When we finally sat down, Liam took care of us shoutout Liam you saved our night lmfao. He was actually chill and a much better vibe than the ENTIRE establishment. Want to run a good restaurant? Dont hire rude workers. Learn to work under pressure. If you're busy, learn customer service. I was a server for 3 years I wasn't a prick when I was busy... don't make your customers feel like an inconvenience when they're coming to spend money... at yalls grown age, why are you volunteering to make people feel uncomfortable. Grow a pair. Thanks for ruining my first time here. Here's a place I'll never come back :) read more

Such a fun and yummy night! We loved the pupu platter, which was the sampler of several of the delicious appetizers. So worth it! This alone with some drinks at the bar would make an amazing happy hour. We were here for dinner so we got the ahi with Mac salad and veggies, and the shrimp skewers with rice and fries. Both of the dishes were fresh and delicious. I would definitely add the gravy to the fries next time. The shrimp skewers were so garlicky which we loved. We ended the meal with the lava cake, which had yummy macadamia nuts. Live music on weekends is such a nice touch and service was attentive and prompt. Can't wait to come back and try them for happy hour too! read more

Saw this place while rolling on PCH, so we came back the next day. Atmosphere is tiki style very inviting and staff is super nice. My wife and I split the short ribs and the Huli Huli chicken and both were pretty good. I love me some chicken. The Mac salad was really good and the rice was good. What do you say about white rice? We also had the Lumpia as the appetizer and I must say it was light on the filling for what it costs. It should really be 6 rolls instead of 3. The drinks were good but not great. Overall it was a good dinner but very expensive. Service and staff, awesome. It's worth trying if you want that tiki vibe. read more

The food was good and so was the vibe... but def pricey. Service was great. Good music.

I came to a marketplace event here a few weeks ago. I love the decor and the staff was on top of things despite the fact we packed the place to the gills. I enjoyed the lumpia and the pineapple rice. They also have amazing teriyaki sauce. Loved the drinks and am a big fan of the flaming Willie. My only issue was that a vodka soda cost almost 13 bucks. read more

The food here is fantastic. Although the restaurant is Hawaiian, there are a lot of other influences as well, most notably Filipino. I ordered the chicken inasal which was very tender, cooked all the way, and had very authentic flavor. The ribs were also very good. Drinks are strong and the selection is vast. Service was on the slower side but it was a weekend reservation. The vibe is dark and tropical - perfect for a date night with soothing sounds and great food! Parking is free for 2 hours at the lot next door. Overall, 8/10 will come back! read more

Great choice if you are looking for fun, vintage and kitschy Hawaiian vibes. The restaurant is a Laguna Beach Landmark built in 1947 and was reopened and refurbished about 5 years ago.

What a difference. Bartender was either really new, tipsy, or both. I would estimate it took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. Upon arrival, these were not the classic tiki drinks we experienced in the past. One and done. No desire to go back as we no longer trust the crew behind the bar. That's OK. We have an alternate elsewhere. read more

Really nice Hawaiian restaurant with a cozy, boutique-style inside. The vibe feels welcoming and relaxing, perfect for happy hour. The happy hour menu prices range around $10-$15. Food: Broke Da Mouth Onion (Awesome Blossom): Fried perfectly! The sauce has a nice balance of sweetness and onion flavor, not too greasy, just right. Spam Musubi: One of my favorites! The rice has great flavor, and the sauce on top adds a sweet touch. Definitely recommend. Coconut Shrimp: My top pick! Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the coconut flavor really stands out. Delicious. Drinks: Banana Smuggler: Sweet and tasty. Depends if you prefer sweet or not, there are other options too. Overall, great food, fun drinks, and a chill Hawaiian vibe. Perfect spot for happy hour or a casual night out. read more

Love, Love, Love it!! Sat at the gorgeous bar and was taken such great care of. The vibe is Classic Hawaiian gorgeousness with a lively and fun atmosphere. Not cheesy Tiki, the real deal. The Lapu Lapu was out of this world, delicious and packed a punch if you know what I mean. Ordered the Poke Nachos that were absolutely scrumptious and could not believe how generous the portion was! The coconut shrimp was excellent delicious as well. I was already in heaven and then the coconut cake came, I was like "are you kidding me, this is the best cake I've ever had". So happy. Can't remember the last time a restaurant made me giddy. The live music was great and the staff warm and welcoming. You must go. A true gem. I will be back again and again. read more

Tiki vibes, tropical drinks, and a touch of old-school Laguna charm. Royal Hawaiian is a must if you're looking for a fun night out with beach-town flair. The food is island-inspired with a modern twist. The Luau Ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the coconut shrimp had the perfect crisp. Portions are generous, so come hungry or plan to share. Their Lapu Lapu cocktail is dangerously good. It is strong, sweet, and served in a tiki glass that makes you feel like you're on vacation. The ambiance is laid-back but lively, with surfboards on the walls and dim lighting that makes it feel like a little hidden oasis. Service was friendly, though it got a little slow when the place filled up but the staff was warm and welcoming throughout. Great for date night, group dinners, or just a drink at the bar if you're feeling the island spirit. Just know it can get loud when it's packed coz this place knows how to party. read more

But I ordered some coconut rum to it and everything was tasting great.

Went last night for a pre show cocktail and dinner. The drinks are still spot on delicious. But the food was a total letdown. We got the fish and chips and Huli huli chicken. The fish and chips had absolutely no crisp, batter was horrible and soggy. The chicken was dry and seemed re warmed. The kitchen has definitely gone downhill. I know there has been management/ownership change? Would go back for a drink, but they need to improve the food quality read more
