Had a great time at Tikis. Gavin wasn't even our server but he was great to have around at the bar. He was funny, entertaining and all around made our time here at Tikis very memorable. We will be back again! Duke was good too. read more

Amazing service and great drinks. Gavin made sure that we had everything we needed and made recommendations based on what we told him we liked. The best service we have had in Waikiki. read more

Tiki's was a perfect place to enjoy dinner listening to live music and watching the sun set into the sea. The atmosphere was relaxing and romantic. Tiki's is open air up on the second floor and across from the beach. The food was excellent. Our server, Maka, and the chef went out of their way to ensure my meal was safely free from food allergens. And, it was delicious! We were so impressed we went back to Tiki's a few nights later! read more

We arrived around 2 p.m. with a group of about 20 people celebrating a wedding. The bartenders asked us to order from a particular section of the bar, which was perfectly reasonable. Unfortunately, we were immediately greeted rudely, and that should have been an indication of what was to come. From the beginning, the bartender was shouting instructions about how we had to order, where we could congregate, and that we couldn't keep a tab open and had to pay for each round individually. We followed every rule and stayed for several hours, eating, drinking, and enjoying the celebration. What made the experience so uncomfortable was how management and staff treated us throughout the afternoon. They repeatedly gathered together, pointed toward our group, argued among themselves, and watched us with crossed arms, visibly frustrated by our presence. It created a constant feeling that we were doing something wrong simply by being there. I genuinely don't know why. Yes, we were 20 people celebrating a wedding, so we were laughing, dancing, and having fun. But we're adults, mostly in our early 40s, with kids present. We were kind and respectful, and other patrons were even joining in our celebration. Our group probably spent around $1,000 at the bar, yet we were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than paying customers. Around 6 p.m., management told us they were switching to dinner service and asked us to move to a table with a server, emphasizing that an automatic 18% gratuity would be added. No problem. We agreed and moved. Once seated, it became apparent that our server did not want our table. She openly argued with management, right in front of us, about being assigned to our group. Her frustration seemed to carry over into the service. She made snarky comments and would disappear for long periods. I've worked as a server, so I understand that waiting on 20 people isn't easy. Managing drinks and orders for a large group while handling other tables is a lot of work. I completely understand that. What I don't understand is making customers feel guilty or unwelcome because serving them requires extra effort. Around 7 p.m., management approached me and said everyone needed to remain seated or we would have to close our tab and leave. Some of us had been standing around our table talking. We were near the bar, where plenty of people were standing, but once again, we complied. I spoke with everyone and got the entire group seated. Even after that, it felt as though management was waiting for a reason to ask us to leave. Shortly afterward, our server said she would no longer serve us. Management told me she "felt uncomfortable" and that when this happens, they end bar service for the group. I asked what specifically our group had done to make her uncomfortable, and they couldn't give me a concrete answer. Given that she had openly argued about taking our table before she even began serving us, it was difficult not to feel that this was where things had been heading all along. That was the theme of the entire experience: we were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome from the moment we arrived. We ordered where they told us to order. We congregated where they told us to congregate. We paid the way they told us to pay. We moved when they asked us to move. We accepted the automatic gratuity. When they told us everyone needed to sit down, we got everyone seated. And after complying with all of it, they stopped serving us anyway. Were we loud, dancing, laughing, and having a good time? Absolutely. We were celebrating a wedding. But we weren't drunk, rude, threatening, or disorderly. There's a big difference between a lively group celebrating and a group causing problems. If you want a nice view and a decent meal, this may be the place for you. But if you're coming with a larger group hoping to celebrate and enjoy yourselves at the bar, I would choose somewhere else. No customer should spend hours feeling as though the staff resent them simply for being there. read more

This restaurant is cute. It felt roomy and comfortable. It is on the second floor and has a nice view of the Waikiki Beach. The food was average and regular American food. The service was great and we felt welcomed! The price was a little higher than average but it next to the beach so it's understandable! Overall, a nice restaurant to visit if you haven't decided what to eat! read more

After browsing yelp for my birthday dinner, I stumbled on Tiki's and their Guava Ribs caught my eye. This is located on the second floor with stunning ocean views. The atmosphere is vacation-like and special with this beautiful restaurant. The staff here were friendly and our server was awesome. I loved the vibes and enjoy catching the sunset with delicious bites. For appetizers, we opted for the katsu calamari. This was bomb, good flavor inside out and crunch. My Painkiller drink was boozy goodness and super fun aesthetic. My main course, the guava ribs were juicy and tender! Scenic dinner views and outstanding food from Tiki's! read more

Great service. We had a table but not all of us were there... so we went the bar then switch to table. Had some happy hour drinks... good but sweet. Had the brussel sprouts, arancini, chicken like empanadas... tasty. Then at the table had the smoked Marlin dip... friends had other food. They added another table so we could all sit together. read more

Coming into this review, I really began to wonder what to expect for Tiki's. I never visited there before, and being that this was a first-time visit, I was blown away in terms of expectations. From the decor to the view atop the restaurant, it screamed "Hawaii" through and through. So for lunch, I decided to order their Kalua Pork Sandwich. For $17, it was a fair price for what you got in terms of the amount of food. The Pork was very succulent and juicy, and the presentation with the taro bun really made it look like I was eating in a Hawaiian restaurant. The fries were not bad at all. The shape really looked interesting from first look. Overall, I have to say, it was really good. I definitely will consider coming back here for the sandwich again, if I had to. Would I recommend Tiki's? Yes...if you are looking to get a good view from atop and enjoy some good food there. 10/10 Love the atmosphere. read more

Aloha :) Really enjoyed Tikis! Started with some coco mojitos, which are delicious and really big. They are super expensive at $24 each, but include a really nice souvenir glass. Souvenir shopping done I really enjoyed the Smoked Marlin dip with Taro and Sweet potato chips. I had the seared tuna app with a side of sticky rice for my main course and was full. Our server was very friendly attentive and even brought out a complementary chicken empanada that was super tasty. On this Friday evening, they had live music. That combined with the great view of the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean made it a wonderful evening to top off a great day. Mahalo read more

Food was great, and service we received was also very friendly. Their menu offers some unique choices, and I really liked everything we tried there! This place is always busy, but they manage to get food to you pretty quickly on the to-go orders. The location offers beautiful views of the ocean while eating, and live music. They are a bit pricey, which is understandable in the heart of such a tourist location as Waikiki. Overall, great food and great experience here! read more

I came here in November 2025 with a good friend to celebrate my birthday, and honestly...this was a moment. From the start, the staff was lovely and welcoming. We had great conversations throughout the night, and although I don't remember our server's name, she was absolutely amazing and really made the experience feel special. I ordered the vegan primavera and it was delicious. The portion was huge (no complaints there), and I had leftovers that were just as good later. Always a win. My friend said her coconut shrimp was very tasty, and her piña colada did what it needed to do. I kept it simple with a gin and tonic. Cant go wrong there. The view, my goodness....just watching the sunset on the beach while enjoying a good meal and live entertainment plus company is life!!! Overall, this is easily one of the best spots we've been to and totally up there with Duke's. Planning on returning in November 2026!!!! read more

Sean our waiter was one of the loveliest person I had ever met in my life. He gave such wonderful food recommendations and was literally a one man army taking care of everyone. He told is to try the special parmesan crusted fish and it was absolutely amazing. The swordfish was flakey and perfectly cooked. The arancini appetizer was quite delicious as well. We came before the hectic time during dinner so we were seated rather quickly. I do recommend patience here because it does seem to be short staffed here yet large crowds. But the view is phenomenal and again, I cannot emphasize enough: ask for Sean. read more

All the servers are very down to Earth and cool people. Spent a football Sunday talking fantasy with multiple bartenders, all while overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It's a beautiful location with great drinks, good prices at happy hour especially (2-5pm, as well as after 10pm). Lots of novelty drinks as well! read more

Loved everything about this restaurant. The ambiance is just fantastic and you can't compete with the sunset view. Had the tuna stack and watermelon salad and both were divine.

Great location overlooks Waikiki beach. Decor and lighting has nice vibes. They had a live performer who sang really good and had a great sense of humor. Our server was on top of everything and super friendly. The food was delicious!! The truffle garlic edamame is a must if you come here! The flavor is amazing!! I didn't let any sauce go to waste! Never had edamame like this before and now I don't want it any other way! I got the Macadamia Nut Crusted Fish (fresh catch of the day) was soo fresh and delicious the macadamia nut crust was perfectly crisp the fish cooked just right. Paired well with the lemon cauliflower risotto. I absolutely loved this dish! I ate it all! My husband got the Truffle Yaki Salmon, great flavor! Super tender and moist. Twenty layer haupia crepe cake is also a must! Super light creamy dessert, even after finishing my whole plate I had room for this dessert. The whole scenery, and vibe was perfect! The food is incredible and I highly recommend this place! Also, you get to go home with your drink cups! read more

Overall amazing birthday dinner!! First time in Hawaii, and we were looking for a fun Hawaii vibe for my 38th birthday dinner. My husband searched up on yelp and saw best place to view a sunset. The live band was the icing on the cake. As we got there we were greeted and sat very quickly. We had reservations and sat in the patio near the live band. Beautiful ocean view right behind us! What really made this birthday dinner perfect was our waitress Julia! She was absolutely AMAZING! Oh so sweet and dealt with all our questions with so much patience! We were lucky enough to get a complimentary dish from the chef! I will say my macadamia crusted fish was a bit dry but I'm in Hawaii! There was no way I was going to complain! All in all we had a beautiful time!! Thank you so much Julia and the band was 10/10! We will definitely visit again. Aloha read more

I was staying at the hotel across the street when my group decided to go have drinks and appetizers, we ventured out to Tikis. We didn't have reservations we found out that there was a big line so we decided to go to the bar and you can order from the bar and then have a seat at a table. The drinks were a bit pricier than are at our hotel. Average price was $24 for a drink while we did order some drinks. They were not very strong, very weak more fruity than alcohol.. Atmosphere was fun, but we decided to go back to our hotel which was around $14 for a mai tai. read more

First time at Tikis Grill & Bar, and it definitely won't be our last! From the hostess to the employee picking things up around the restaurant, every single person we encountered was genuinely friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to Maka, our waiter! He was attentive, proactive, and seemed to anticipate our every need before we even asked. The food was outstanding. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, the prime rib was perfectly cooked, and the wings were packed with flavor. And the drinks? Absolutely heavenly! My Coconut Mojito was refreshing, unique, and one of the best cocktails I've had. Even better, I got to take home a cool Tikis souvenir glass! The atmosphere is fantastic--comfortable seating, a fun island vibe, and a beautiful ocean view that makes the whole experience even more memorable. The only downside? There isn't a Tikis Grill & Bar anywhere near where I live! If there were, I'd be a regular. Highly recommended! read more

My wife had the Thai Chicken Salad, which was a massive pile of food with bursts of fresh flavors from all the veggies. Definitely recommended! read more

If I could rate a 4.5 l would. The restaurant is located further down the beach toward Diamond Head and the Zoo. It's a quick walk from central Waikiki. The restaurant is on the third floor of a hotel right across the street from the beach. It's a great location. Even at lunch they had live music. Fun atmosphere for sure! The staff was friendly and efficient. Our server took the time to chat with us - you can tell he really enjoyed learning a little about the people at his tables. And now for the food and drink. I started with a mocktail - the Li Hing Mui Pineapple Colada. It was perfect for a warm day looking at the water. We had the Island Watermelon Salad - it was refreshing and very tasty. I had the Kalua Pig Quesadilla. I hit the jackpot! The tortilla was made with Ube and the homemade Kalua pig with jack cheese all made it amazing. Corn and tomato salsa, sour cream and guacamole rounded it out. Sounds like a five star review so far, right? It would have been, but my husband's sandwich, the smoked marlin melt missed the mark. He ended up eating some of my quesadilla (which he loved). I do have to say, his sandwich came with fries I have never seen before! They were curly steak fries. Yes, big thick curls of yumminess (if you like steak fries). We will definitely be back when we travel to Waikiki. read more
