Nice Tiki themed bar. We were guided to enter through a separate door. (kinda speakeasy-ish) once you enter, you will walk past the bar where you will notice a full Tiki theme. The food was OK, drinks were not bad. I would go for the drinks. Gratuity will be included on your tab.

We loved our experience at this hidden Tiki Bar in Burbank! While it took a bit to get a seat because the restaurant is busy, the waiting area is well decorated and includes a Gilligan’s island pinball machine to pass the time. Inside the entire space is curated with fun décor and low lighting. The Spam can string lights and octopus tentacles hanging off the ceiling were our favorites.
As for food, I was super impressed with everything! We ordered the Pupu Platter for 2, which came with lots of appetizers. The coconut shrimp had a nice thick crust, with a sweet and spicy sauce. The aloha dippers were super soft in the middle, like mashed potatoes, but had a good crisp fry on the outside. They needed more seasoning (garlic and pepper would be delicious), so we dipped them in the remaining shrimp sauce. The battered spam slices reminded me of the light batter in fish and chips, but spam is naturally very salty, so mixing it with the macaroni salad was perfect! It had just the right amount of mayo and sweet pickles. The deviled eggs with miso were fantastic as well, with the toasted sesame seeds adding a hint of nuttiness and seaweed to bring in the salt.
Of all the things on the platter however, these poke nachos were the best and I recommend ordering them just by themselves. They rival some of the best I’ve had in Hawaii! I love how light and crispy the wonton chips are, crumbling easily under the weight of the fish. The Ponzu and spicy mayo is perfectly tangy with an acidic yet sweet taste. Plus the black sesame seeds on time add a toasty nutty flavor that compliments the fish well. I was surprised at how fresh the fish tasted as well - not chewy at all!
Lastly we also ordered the kalua pork tacos, which were insanely juicy. The corn tortillas hold the filling together well despite the amount of liquid dripping out. Also the pineapple was actually ripe and the sauce was tangy, but not too overpowering. Can’t wait to come back!

Fun smaller tiki bar with good food and drinks. This one appears.to be more family friendly in nature, they seem to cater to that part of the market. Not an issue for me but be aware and as a parent keep in mind theres still some art with nudity. Will go again when I can.

This used to be the coolest pirate themed dive in town. Unfortunately the owners decided to turn it into an overpriced cookie cutter tiki bar instead..
Atmosphere if full of drunks. Server was nice and professional. Very dark setting. Hard to read the menu and the tables are way too close together.

The entrance has speakeasy vibes. Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't live up to the ambiance.
The Thai Noodle Salad should be removed from their menu immediately, it was inedible. The fish tacos were decent but needed bigger tortillas. The drinks were average, very alcoholly.
Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items. Others were enjoying themselves.
After leaving here, we got food elsewhere. Not ideal after spending a Benjamin Franklin.

Wow. This place has such a dope vibe. Its part restaurant, part bar, part speak easy. We had the pleasure of hanging out with bar tender Monica and she was awesome. The drinks were strong, the laughs were plentiful, and the food looked amazing. We didn't eat but the people to our right and left had burgers and apps and it all looked and smelled so good. If youre in the area, its definitely worth stopping here and checking out this totally decked out Tiki Bar! Also, tell Monica we said hi!
