TikiIniki

Delicious food and service. All four of us had no complaints. Keoni our server was the best! Would definitely eat here again. Want to try their happy hour!

Came for lunch today. Had the fish and chips. Our server was Keoni who welcomed us with a warm heart. You know how you can just meet someone and can tell they are a nice person? Yep, that’s this Keoni. He ended up being our actual waiter too (chipping in and helping out) even though he is a manger. Fish and chips were best I’ve had on the island. Nice big chunks of fish — great batter and not greasy. Food was hot when served and they have good fries. Husband had the Ahi poke wrap (MP was $ 13) and he had a Long Board. Keoni even asked the guys if they wanted to taste any beers on tap — how cool is that? He even offered to split our bills in two for each couple. Best Aloha we’ve had eating on this trip! I always make a point to eat at Tiki Iniki — hope you will too!

Here for Sunday brunch
Waited 5 – 8 mins, bartender never acknowledged us… Kept waiting (place was NOT full)
We were never acknowledged so went to La Petit bakery next door & had a great breakfast & killer coffee
Substantially cheaper… So all worked out for the best

My wife and I stopped here for lunch before heading on a hike on the Na Pali Coast. We were just looking for a casual, quick lunch and it turned out this place was actually pretty good. My wife ordered the veggie wrap and kept saying how much she liked it. I ordered the teriyaki burger and thought it was really good. Service was quick and friendly. Cool tiki theme throughout the restaurant.

What a fun place to go! Stumbled upon this place while shopping in Princeville and I knew I had to see the inside after reading the name. Drinks were good and atmosphere was fun. Bartender I believe is part owner and he was very welcoming and personable. Met some fun local people and will definitely return next time I’m in Kauai!

I waited about 15 min for the waiter to take my drinks order and another 15 to get them. Then food took at meat about 40 min and at 40 min the waiter told me they didn’t have enough meat for my order and asked if I wanted something else (like you couldn’t figure that out earlier) so I wait another 15 min and my food finally comes after I’ve been eating off other people’s plates. Waiter had the prices wrong when I asked her because my bill said otherwise. I don’t believe the prices on the bill matched the menu prices. And on top of it after the long wait over my meal because their lack of preparation they never gave me a discount. I waited so long I almost walked out. Then waiter asked if I wanted to give a 20% tip. Probably not coming back. Decent food though.

Tiki Niki is a fun spot. They have a tasty tropical drink selection as well and it’s a throwback kind of vibe. Blake keeps people behaved.

I give this place 4 stars for the tasty unique food items but would like to give it 1 for extremely slow service. Afterall it is HI and the Hawaiians live by a completely different clock. If you are not on any kind of time constraint, I highly recommend it. The avocado salad is sssooo good that on our 2^nd visit I simply ordered 2 for my entrée. I am disturbed by the review that said their CC was compromised from their visit as we used our CC both times. Will have to watch that closely.

Live music during dinner in accompanying area was amazing treat. Food was good but find it interesting that their ahi is listed as a price but it isn’t actually that price it’s $ 2 more for today. Why not just say market price? Drinks were just ok but in fun tiki containers. Chicken kids teriyaki was too spicy for daughter so she ended up eating my husbands shrimp which were great. The Ahi tuna was great just needs more cream wasabi type sauce or smaller portion :)

Greeted by an intense British chic wearing a green wig, with a cohost who almost appeared intoxicated, we were a bit nervous we’d get caught up in the tiki vibe and throw up in the parking lot afterwards.
Fast forward through a great fresh fish dinner, with some funky smoky cooked veggies (messed up oil?), a feller in the courtyard started playing music like James Taylor and Ed Sheeran. We were soon transported emotionally to a bad high school breakup. Our dessert couldn’t come soon enough. Here we are, first time to Kauai — hoping for at least some native music, or something to fit the motif, but no. Great singer. Don’t get me wrong. Just not the atmosphere for slow dancing and a tear or two.

Sat at the bar. Feels like a tiki bar, even though it’s tucked away in a shopping area. Wasn’t overly thrilled with their cocktails.

Our second night on the island and this is by far the best night dinner drinks and service that we have had! Anyone on here that has a bad review must’ve been having a bad night because the ambience, the food, the live music and the amazing food and drinks are well worth it! A little hidden gem among the shopping mall!

We went here one night while on our honeymoon. It was a nice little place, however, half the things on the menu weren’t available for some reason and the prices were ridiculous. The food was okay and portions were small. I will definitely not be coming back here in future visits to Kauai.

The drinks and ambience are fantastic. The food is just okay. I was underwhelmed by the fish tacos — there was no taste, no spice, just meh.
Go for a couple of cocktails and elsewhere to eat. Sit in the bar too — it’s got the most ambience!
Also…the tiki mugs are available for purchase.

Super cute bar with fun lights, tiki bar stools, music and awesome service! The drinks were strong and delish! Most definitely recommend this place if you’re up north shore and need pau hana!

Starving after kayaking in the rain in Hanalei, we stopped here for lunch. I ordered the fish sandwich, daughter fish and chips with fresh Ono, mom chicken Cesar salad, son teriyaki hamburger and hubby pork sandwich.
My fish was fresh, a huge piece, tangy sauce and killer fries. My moms salad had tons of chicken and homemade dressing, my sons burger was huge and well seasoned and quality beef, and daughters fish and chips was fresh and plentiful.
My mom and I ordered Irish Coffee to warm us up. Served in tiki mugs, they were perfect.
We came back for dinner our last night. Food was yummy, but not as yummy as lunch. Service was super slow, not due to the waitress, but the kitchen.
Great place to stop and the food is quite fresh.

Great place next to Jean Georges restaurant in Saint Regis Princeville. I’m glad we decided to try some local food. Their food is wayyy beter than St Regis. Always go with the local!
Even their maitai is more delicious. Difficult to find a good seat but if u r patient it’s worth waiting. Nice friendly crew as well. One of the servers suggested an app that he is playing with his kids.
Be back for sure

A friend and I were visiting Kauai and staying in Princeville. We wandered into TikiIniki on one of our first nights while looking for somewhere to have dinner. I think we walked into the place around 5:20-ish, but it didn’t open till 5:30pm. That said, we were promptly met, greeted, and given a table… even though they weren’t officially open for dinner yet.
Our waiter for the night was totally on top of everything, prompt to get us water, take our drink orders, take our dinner orders, and checking in on everything at just the right times. Drinks were tasty, and I ordered the sausage flatbread for my dinner —
«Three Cheese Portuguese Sausage Flatbread
House made Ricotta, Goat Cheese, Asiago,
Okinawa Potatoes, Wilted fresh Kale»
The flatbread was just the right amount of food, and tasted delicious.
Very reasonable prices, especially for the Princeville area. We also got to listen to some live music that was being played in a more central portion of an outdoor eating area not far from the TikiIniki outdoor patio/​dining space. Very enjoyable.

If you don’t hum the tune «In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room» from Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, then you’ve lost your inner child and need to come here to find em’!!
I’m surprised by the mixed reviews or people’s expectations of a fine dining full service restaurant at diner rates. I recall the hesitation coming here but I was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted graciously and seated immediately and soaked in the Polynesian charm. With a group of 6, the menu offered enough variety for our appetite and a slew of vintage Hawaiian cocktails. Majority opted for the Iniki Burger the others were Fish Burger and Wraps.
We came mid-​week during lunch which was less crowded. Food order was prompt, staff was courteous and prices were moderately higher than most but for the entertainment value it was worth it. We wanted to come back for Happy Hour & Late Night because that’s when the place I hear comes alive. We hope to make it back one day.

My Sara picked this place because of the name. Are we glad she did. Great tiki restaurant with live music. Great service and really great food. Owner came by and chatted with us several times. She was wearing a blue surfer wig. Hilarious. Maybe the best family dinner spot here.
For dessert get the pineapple upside down cake. It’s the best I’ve ever had.
If you sit inside look for the bunch of coconuts hanging from the ceiling. Johnny Depp carried them in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
