Tiki Bars near Venice, CA

“All around great restaurant“

“I was taking my young one to go out and experience new experiences, new foods and atmosphere, and Tiki Kai went beyond my expectations. When Hermosa Beach became a little rougher and dirtier than I remember in all my years coming here, Tiki Kai was a fantastic rediscovery. This place will hopefully lead to the renaissance of the area.

I've traveled abroad and been to many great restaurants on both sides of the Pacific, and Tiki Kai really gets the point. Drinks: tasty and strong with subtle flavors (the lycee martini my favorite). Food: well balanced portions for place that promotes itself as a bar, filling but not fattening, and the seafood and ribs that we enjoyed were phenomenal. I am spoiling my young one by taking to places like this that set the bar really high, and then he has to go to other places and not have the same great experience.

Best of all was our server Khulani (my apologies for not getting your name spelled correctly!). This is the standard of service and class that she provided was a surprise, and she went out of her way to make sure that we were really welcomed at the Tiki Kai. Such a radiant positive attitude and quick attention to service. The tiki bar was bright and colorful and full of positive energy, and she embodied the ambiance in her cheerful demeanor. And she genuinely meant it.

We will come back with a larger party, and I plan to have my big celebrations here.“
