    $35 unlimited drinks night!
    Diana S.

    So we went into Tiki Pete's this weekend to pregame a disco event downtown and it was a great call! The drinks were strong and delicious and the vibe was right. The service was friendly but we did have to get up a few times to ask for more or then check but there was a big fighting match on so they deserve some slack. One thing though that did keep us uncomfortable most of the visit was how humid hot it was towards the back of the restaurant where we were sitting. Felt sticky so next time we'll try to get a table by the door. Also don't go in thinking you can have some dinner they are in between cooks so no food was being served and we came in knowing exactly what dishes we wanted to try! Disappointed but labor shortages are affecting businesses everywhere. Thankfully Taco Bell cantina is next door for some food! Great spot!

    I'm with the Dj...lol! Happy 50th Gene!!!!

    I've been here before for dinner and drinks before but Saturday was a special occasion as a friend was turning 50. The theme of the party was reggae night which was awesome in it of itself. Tiki Pete's is Da Kine during the day. They serve delicious large portion hawaiian food. When you are missing out on some island feels this place is the place to go. Their prices are decent and have a great variety of options. Appetizers from musubi to sliders, etc. Their entree's are a protein, rice, cabbage and macaroni salad. You won't leave hungry that is for sure. The icing on the cake though is their Mai Tai's. Served in a hollowed out pineapple. OH-MY-GAWD!!!!!!!!! With the music blaring...great company and one of these in your hand..you are surely to be transported away from the hustle and bustle of every day life to the tropical islands of Hawaii. They are conveniently next door to a parking garage so parking is plentiful. The Fairmont is in walking distance. Go...now!

    Kanehoe POG!  (passionfruit orange guava... and vodka)

    Formerly Da Kine, now with a much greater emphasis on Tiki drinks! They still have their famous poke, and I don't imagine that has changed, so this is mostly going to be about the booze, of which there is a lot of and is extremely good. I got: -Chai Mule: just like a Moscow Mule but with a bit of spice, like cinnamon and maybe cardamom. It's interesting and definitely delicious. Served in a faux-copper mug though :( -Kanehoe POG: for "Passionfruit-Orange-Guava" not "Pineapple" as I have thought my entire life. Tastes exactly what it sounds like, but definitely has some alcohol in it. Like all Tiki drinks, this thing is *dangerous* -Rum Barrel (limit 2!): Exactly what it sounds like -- hefty pours of 4 different types of rum, juice, ice, and some mystery syrup (make sure to stir!) make for a strong m'f-ing drink. It goes down *ridiculously* smooth, but you can definitely tell that, by volume, it's about 50% alcohol. Buyer beware, unless you're an alcoholic like me, in which case, bottom's up! Note: maybe it was just because of how much I had drank at this point, but the Tiki Grog (also 4 kinds of rum) tastes *very* similar to the Barrel (albeit a little more refreshing, little less boozy), and is less intimidatingly-large, so if you're not up for drinking a ton of booze, opt for the Tiki Grog instead. It's great! My friend got their fish tacos which looked amazingly good, and I saw a plate of poke that I *almost* ordered, had I not eaten literally 15 minutes beforehand. The bartenders are extremely friendly and will answer all your dumb questions like "what's in this drink?" and "did this place used to be Da Kine?" even though "Da Kine" is still plastered all over their walls and their uniforms. Overall, this is a great bar, and given my love for Tiki drinks, I will definitely be back! --- sweet: former Da Kine, with awesome Poke, now with awesome Tiki Drinks! bitter: pass on their shots -- opt for the Tiki Drinks all the way.

    Great atmosphere! Heard about this place through a friend from the Bay Area. She had invited me to an event she was participating in as part of a singing group and would be performing with the band. I couldn't make it then because of UYSB in Reno. That was on May 19 this year so I bookmarked the place hoping to make it here one day. Well, we made it there tonight. It was around 7:45p when we arrived... the place was crowded, almost jam-packed, and I wasn't sure if we were going to get a table inside. We were led in the back area at a high table, you know the kind where you just have drinks or apps. We wanted a full dinner but there was no room anywhere else so we took what was available. We proceeded to order... The menu looked interesting with a wide selection of island favorites. We placed an order of Spam Musubi (2 pcs), Da Kine Fried Rice, Coconut Shrimp and hubby had the Kalua Loco Moco. Our meals started to arrive in quick time. Surprisingly, our small round table was able to fit all the food we ordered. Our server wasn't too observant about our water glasses needing refills. Had to ask. The Spam Musubi was Ono! They didn't skimp on that sweet sauce. Yum! Daughter and hubby seemed to have enjoyed their meals. I was disappointed with the fried rice, though. It was plentiful but tasteless. It needed something... salt? soy sauce? We didn't have any of these condiments on our table... actually, as small as these items were there was literally no space on our table. The atmosphere was lively, the scene was adorned with all Hawaiian theme. Hubby even thought that it was overkill... not sure if there's such a thing as too Hawaiian?. Anyway, it was a bar scene, there was no live band performing that evening since all the flat screens were showing the UFC 227 fight on PPV. There was even a flat screen facing Market Street... I guess this is for the patio seating but there were no table seating set up outside. Hmm... the restaurant validated our parking garage ticket and the $5 parking fee was free. This restaurant is located in downtown San Jose. Review #1096

    Was super confused when I passed by this place and quickly realized that this was Da Kine. Not sure if it's a new name or they go by 2 different names now but here's my review: I came during happy hour and ordered some poke and a few drinks. The prices of the drinks were pretty decent for happy hour. The poke was average- not much flavor at all and tastes anything but authentic. But still is a nice complement to the drinks. I also got the pulled pork nachos and was very pleasantly surprised! They were delicious and had a lot of meat on it. The drinks- we got a Pina Colada and some special drink and they were both so tasty! So good that it's dangerous how fast you can chug these. This is definitely my new happy hour spot! Love the vibes here! Surprised it was so empty when we came in.

Just two and a half weeks before the event, I received a text message from the owner saying he had accidentally double booked my date and was asking if I could move the event to another day. I was completely shocked and devastated. I have family traveling from Mexico and Los Angeles, and I've already paid for the caterer, DJ, decorator, cake, and photographer. When you plan an event like this almost a year in advance, it's not something you can just change last minute. He offered to refund my money or try to find another venue, but how could I trust him again after such a huge mistake? I had no choice but to start over and look for another place, which means paying extra fees, delivery charges, and the inconvenience of relocating everything to Gilroy. Because of this, my daughter will no longer have her church ceremony, and that breaks my heart. This experience has been stressful, costly, and deeply disappointing.
