Amazing food at reasonable price! Very accommodating. We don't really drink so we went here for the food but we did try their pina colada and it was delicious!

Service, was ok. Not great just ok. The drinks were good and the tiki glasses made them fun. This place is very loud. Between the music and the talking, you have to raise your voice quite a bit to have a conversation. Tight quarters here. Arrive early if you want to sit with a group and there is limited seating. The food was meh at best. It was difficult to determine what we were eating and with several non meat eating friends in our group this made dining tricky. We tried many dishes and I would definitely give it a pass on its food. Having had Filipino food on various occasions, this wasn't a delicious place for food. Even my Filipino friend said that their food was unpleasant and had declined since their last visit. If you're going for Tiki drinks, sure. For food, I'd fine another place to eat before coming for drinks

Came for happy hour and loved it! The happy hour burgers were so unique and a great deal at $12. The lumpia were nice and crispy, and the mango salad with shrimp paste had the perfect about of funkiness to it. The drinks are also appropriately strong and super yummy. Would definitely be back!

Dropped by for the first time after being in the area. A friend and I had heard good things, so we came in to share the Kahiko Punch. The drink was really good and was a great size to share. It was a very cute aesthetic inside and I loved the outdoor seating (it was just too windy to enjoy) so we opted to sit at the bar. However, the bartender was extremely dry so the attitude did not match the ambiance. I'm undecided as to if I'd return.

Ordered on Uber Eats and I cannot believe how tiny the portions were. This is beyond unacceptable. To spend 60 on the fish bicol express which they were not specific on just appetizer portions is just misleading and bad business. Never ordering or even going to it at this point.

Enjoyed the ambiance inside and on the patio! Nice, fun spot for a date or hangout with friends. Tiki drinks were creative and strong, and Filipino food was a good value during happy hour! Staff were friendly and attentive, and had great recommendations. Don't miss the burger, garlic fries, and spring rolls. Favorite drink was the Happy Buddha - who knew bourbon and guava would be such a great combination!

We went here for Happy Hour (4pm - 7pm) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We ordered the Yumami burger, Pinoy fries, Lumpiang Shanghai, Mumbo wings, BBQ pork skewers, and crispy chicken skin plus 4 N/A beverages. Everything was served hot and fresh and was well-seasoned.The main things I did not like were:- Mandatory 20% service fee on all tickets- The music was very loud and it was dark- $19 for 2 hours of parkingParking: $12 for 1 hour; $19 for 2 hoursWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible at all

I had dinner here for the first time on Friday, 02-23-24. It was near where I stayed for the weekend. I didn't get there til about 10 pm after a long day of traveling & being a tourist, but there the place was still quite busy. Very diverse crowd. I can't remember my server's name, but she gave great service. She made sure I didn't have any questions about the menu. They had an extensive drinks menu, but she was just as thrilled with my non-alcoholic selection. I ordered the chicken skins, lumpiang shanghai, & maybe piña colada; it was coconut creme & pineapple juice & so delicious. Though I was starving when I arrived, I barely had room to eat everything; very good portion sizes. I'd had lumpia before, but I was impressed by the chicken skins. The server tried to talk me into trying the ube cheesecake, but I was too full would definitely return & try it next time I'm in the area.

My kids introduced my husband and I to Filipino cuisine through dining in at Tiki on 18th. We enjoyed sitting in their heated patio. Some of my favorites were Camaron Rebosado, BBQ Pork Skewers, Lumpiang Shanghai, Ginisang Isda, and Pinais Na Bacaleo, all of which were full of different flavors. Save room for their Ube Cheesecake! It tasted like a cheesecake with a natural purple yam flavor.

When they say the best pina colada, they mean the best pina colada.

I really like the food at Tiki on 18th, but it is a bit disappointing that almost of the entrees have soy as someone with a soy allergy. Server did say that everything was premade, so unfortunately not much could be done. Regardless, the Pinais na Bacalao was really flavorful and refreshing. My boyfriend got the spicy chicken sisig and loved the spice profile. He said it was juicy and soft.I'd definitely love to come back here to explore some soy-free options. The servers are also really nice. As regards to the atmosphere and eating outside, it is a great experience, but there should be more done regarding people smoking close to the venue as I was able to smell someone smoking pot as I was eating and it was making me feel a bit sick when I was eating.I hope to be back.
