    Mahi tacos

    Went on Good Friday with the whole family (Winston the dog too) as this season has been so hectic for us all. Choose Tiki star because my wife and sister love Asian food and tiki drinks and vibes. This place just about every box imaginable, happy hour drinks(and strong)++ great open style seating+ unbelievably delicious food++ wonderful service+++. Our only negative was there was no food on happy hour and the Mac and cheese bowl was really light on meat but that wouldn't detour us from coming back due to it was possibly the best Mac and cheese any of us had ever had and all of the other food was just amazing. Can't say enough great things about this place as it was an amazing vibe hanging out in the sun wind and truly feeling like we weren't in Arizona for a few hours. To the entire team thank you for a great family night out we look forward to going back

    Loco Moco Fries
    Sam M.

    I really wanted to love Tiki Star. Such a fun and unique concept. They serve up Polynesian themed dishes and drinks in a Tiki themed environment - what's not to love? I went with some friends for lunch on a Friday. We got there shortly after they opened and were the first ones there. The inside of the restaurant is really cute. Theming and decor are on point. Our server was great as well. Friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food is where we struggled. Not a single dish was without flaw. Looking at the menu ahead of time there were many options that caught my eye, but the group ended up getting the following: Loco Moco Fries, Kalua Pork Nachos, Katsu Sando, Spam Cubano, and Pork Belly Banh Mi. Loco Moco Fries: fun take on a classic dish. Fries were nice and crispy, but a tad over-salted. Between the fries and gravy the dish was very salty. Pork Kalua Nachos: yummy, but the chip to toppings ratio was off. Could have benefited from more pork and more sauce. Katsu Sando: very good. The pork was super crispy! The Mac Salad on the side was disappointing though. It was definitely missing something. Spam Cubano: another good bite, although I wasn't a huge fan of the marinade on the pickles. Would get them on the side next time. Pork Belly Banh Mi: tough to eat because of the bread choice. Flavors didn't mesh well either. Despite an okay first impression, the group all agreed we would return at some point. There were a lot of other menu options which looked enticing and the service was great. Not giving up on you yet Tiki Star!

    My bestfriend and I decided to try this place out as the pictures on Yelp were very inviting. When we got there we weren't sure where the entrance is or if they were open only cause the windows were so dark so it was hard to tell if they were open or closed. Eventually we found the entrance when we saw the little hidden chalkboard signage by the pole. Since it was a Friday night I figured it might be busy but to my surprise it was fairly empty. I immediately thought, well business must be slow but hey atleast no wait list to be seated. Service was good; we were greeted right away by the waitress and she was informative about the menu. She was great with providing suggestions and checked up on us to see if there was anything else we needed. The food arrived quick. The food was alright. My bestfriend ordered the Loco Moco Fries and I ordered the Spam Fried Rice as I was craving Fried rice that night. So, the highlight of the dish in the Loco Moco Fries is the gravy. I did like the fries as it was not soggy. The Spam Fried Rice was too salty, it was alright. We had to finish it though cause it was pretty pricey for the dish; I didn't want it to be a waste. For the drinks I had the Halo Halo and my bestfriend had the Bangarang. The drinks I thought was overpriced as well. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it either. It was alright. The presentation on the drinks are colorful and nicely put together. Overall, the service was great! The food and drink is okay.

    This is a new hawaiian restaurant in Peoria at Park West. My boyfriend loves hawaiian food so we thought we'd try it out! Our server was phenomenal and personable! We got a few dishes, our favorite was definitely the ahi tacos, which came with an amazing tangy and spicy salsa! The loco moco fries were just alright, a little too salty for me, and too simple of a dish for me to really love. The pork mac and cheese was delicious and creamy but not too rich since the sauce cuts it nicely. The menu is pretty pricy for the complexity of the dishes I would say, but I would still come here again, only for takeout.

    What we ordered: Zombie cocktail Longboard lager Entrees: Huli huli ribs Garlic noodles with shrimp Aloha plate (Kalua pork, rice pickled veggies and macaroni salad) Gotta say the decor is spot on with the theme I loved the interior and the service is fast and attentive, but let's get to the food ribs some parts were dry and some parts fell right off the bone , the pineapple glaze a banger on it tho tasted great and the slaw went great with it as well a lime based type I believe , then the garlic noodles dayummmmmm were those salty asf like dude was afraid he didn't put enough on or something so he put a whole bottle of salt in oh my, but the shrimp included in it were thick and paired well, the aloha platter meat was dry , rice tasted fine atleast and macaroni salad alright . I feel this might be a drink and appetizer type place instead cause the entrees hard pass but the appetizer def would have that again , plus the prices are way to steep me and my partner just talked how we got way less but paid 2 times more then at the place we went the day prior

    The dirty bird.

    This place was fun! Definitely felt the tiki/Hawaiian vibes. I went on a Thursday evening around 6 and sat at the bar. It wasn't very busy, no wait for seating. Our bartender, (John?) was super cool and knowledgeable about the drinks. I had the dirty bird which was fun and tasted great. To eat, I ordered the Kalua pork nachos which were fine, but I think I would try something different next time. My friend ordered the garlic noodles and shrimp which tasted incredible (highly recommend).

    The drinks were good. Unfortunately we didn't try any of their food. When we visited, They were out of pulled pork which is in like 40% of the menu items. We'll return to try more cocktails and sample their food.

    Bangarang

    What a fun new addition to the shopping center! Love the vibe, totally gives off vacation vibes. The drinks are so fun and delicious here! My favorite was the halo halo, soooo delicious! I also tried the bangarang and it was tasty but the halo halo stole my heart lol The food was great too! My friend got the Kailua pork sliders and man was the pork flavorful and tender. I got the Hawaiian burger. It was huge! Loved everything about it and pineapple on burgers is such a great idea. Their guava bbq sauce is truly amazing!! I wasn't a fan of the Mac salad I got for the side, it was super dry and overly packed with carrots, for my liking, I will try a different side next time. The waitress helping us was so friendly and fun! Definitely will be coming back.

    Potstickers
    Janelle F.

    I've been wanting to try this place forever and we finally were in the area this weekend so we stopped in. I was so surprised to see it nearly completely empty, but it was around 4 on Sunday. Definitely a weird time for dinner etc. we were greeted right away and waters brought to us while we decided what we'd order. We'd eaten earlier so we opted for some type of appetizer and finally settled on the potstickers. They recently updated their menu a bit we were told so if you're looking at it online it doesn't seem to show the new one. The sauce for the stickers was a type of hot sauce and it along with the potstickers were amazing! I'd definitely like to come back and try out more full meals. The food here is described as a mix of Polynesian and Asian cuisines. It's a scratch kitchen. I really love the concept. For the drinks they serve only cans/bottled beers here as well as mixed drinks. The mixed drinks are what seems to bring people in. I wasn't sure what to get so I told the bartender what I liked and he recommended the Halo Halo I believe is what it was called. I typically don't care for ube, but he assured me he'd make it to my liking. He was so correct. It was delicious. I'd definitely order it again. The vibe is cool. Decor is great. The place is quite small though. It does have a small patio area as well, but on a busy night at park-west I could see it hard to get in. I was off put by the restrooms at first because there was no sink inside the bathroom and questioned where a cool would wash their hands, but realized quickly it was right outside of both bathrooms for a more sanitary option. Great idea. A few other bars we go to also do this. All in all I'd come back. This place has nice potential!

    We got here and it was dead. The place was decent size with both indoor and outdoor seating. We got the pull porked nachos, bulgogi cheese steak, and Katsu pork sando was delicious . The server is great too!

    Sentinel Island. A little funky, nice cinnamon flavor.
    Nichole B.

    What a fun addition to Park West! The atmosphere is very fun and festive with all the tiki decor, and the entire front wall is a glass door that can be opened up to the patio when the weather is cooler. Are the drinks pricey? Yes, but worth it! You get what you pay for, and all of the drinks are made with high quality liquor. My favorite was the Bananarang but the classic Mai tai is very good and very strong. The moco loco fries were stupid good, I was obsessed with their beef gravy. They were 14 bucks or so, but the serving was enormous. The bartenders are super friendly and helpful as well. If you aren't familiar with the ingredients in a drink, just tell them what flavors you typically like and they will make great recommendations for you.

    A cute tiki bar/restaurant with a neat decor for that perfect island feel (but wish they'd play island music too!) Pretty big menus for both the food and the drinks - and yes, they do have the pretty drinks you'd expect from a tiki bar! Service was friendly and relatively fast. There are indoors and outdoors tables - plenty of availability on a Saturday afternoon. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely go back!

    The drinks my husband and I had.
    Dana H.

    My husband and I came here after dinner on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm. It wasn't busy at all and the service was great! Since we already ate we only had a drink. He ordered the Sentinel Island and I ordered the Dirty Bird. The Dirty Bird has Mezcal in it and even though I love Mezcal the Sentinel Island was my favorite! It was so tasty and delicious! It was like a Whiskey Lemonade. We will definitely make our way back to this spot. I could imagine if this place has a DJ on the weekends, karaoke one night during the week, or a trivia night....it'll be even more of a fun spot!

    Gotta say I was mighty impressed here. Made my way to this place last night for din - was seated…read morepromptly and water appeared before I knew it. Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area!

    Been to this place three or four times, last night ordered fajitas and when we got home there were…read morezero tortillas. that was pretty lame. this place starts out with ok ingredients, they try too hard. the fajita steak last night was tough, and again zero tortillas. flavors ok, there are many many hundreds of better Mexican restaurants in Phoenix. and while I otherwise really like Fox Concepts restaurants, this one is a bit of a fail that I predict will not survive.

    Food: 4-stars - The only reason for the -1 star is because they do not have any chicken options and…read moretheir guac is liquidy with zero flavor. Their pickled red onions are also flavorless. Otherwise the carne asada, lengua and tripa tacos were all delicious and generously portioned! They have grilled jalapeños, and a self-serve garnish bar with 4 different types of salsas, pickled red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, diced onions and chopped cilantro, lime, and their liquidy guac. We came back already for their crunchy tripas and will continue to visit for our taco/burrito fixes. Service: 5-stars - Open kitchen behind the service counter allows you to see how they cook their meats over the charcoal grill. Our order came out pretty quick. 10-15 mins max. It's a fast casual spot so open seating, no host/waiters but there are workers that clean the dining area. Ambiance: 4-stars - Nothing special but clean and open dining areas. Multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure along with an outdoor patio area for outdoor dining. Overall 4-stars - I will say, after ordering for takeout last week, the best experience is to dine-in. The tripas were not as crunchy when taking home to eat. However, if you like your tripas crunchy like I do, dine-in and eat fresh is the best. Tacarbon satisfied our taco craving but they also offer cheese crisps, burritos and plates that include tortillas and beans. Pretty good overall, but definitely still room for improvements - especially for the premium price point. Definitely recommend to check out if you haven't already. It's probably going to be our new go-to spot for Mexican food.
