To say this food was underwhelming is an understatement. I find it appalling that this restaurant charges an egregious $25+ per meal for food that tastes like defrosted cafeteria food. The service was okay however, and the server did her best to bring out our food in a timely manner. Do not go here!

Walked in here at about 7:30 on a Friday night. No one greeted us to a table. We waited 5 mins and left. Too bad the place looked nice.

weirdest dining experience i've had recently.... first of all they don't have a working phone number and the hours on website are wrong. the place was empty and we didn't even know we were in the right place at first haha. the waitress was not the most polite and didn't check in on us. also they don't have a liquor license so this is not a tiki bar, rather a BYOB establishment. the food was OK, we got the chicken plate with all three sides. mac/potato salad was tasty, but salad didn't come with dressing it was literally just lettuce. overall, very odd dining experience but food was decent.

I don’t normally leave reviews, negative ones at that, but we had such a weird experience... when we got there, the server said it was BOYB, which we thought was a joke, but then he brought us to the liquor store to get some before dinner. Then we were seated for 45 minutes, with an empty restaurant, and we had to waive the server over for him to take our order. The food was fine, but it didn't taste fresh at all... like our spring rolls tasted like the grocery store frozen kind, and the "stir fry veggies" were made from a bag of frozen mixed veggies. It was absolutely overpriced for what we actually got, and I could've made something better at home. They definitely have areas of improvement before they become a restaurant I'd suggest to others.

I only gave 3 stars overall because we were recruited to come in off the sidewalk. They have no alcoholic beverages. And you're seated next to the pool inside the hotel. The meals were small in size for the price we paid. Although they were delicious, they could have been a bit bigger. The service was good as our attendant was very nice and personable. But I think this left me wanting more.

Great food, great service, great ambiance! Ordered the shrimp with spicy garlic and chicken with teriyaki sauce with all sides. Service was super fast, and the staff was extremely nice and made great conversation and recommendations on what to order. Located inside a hotel on their patio with the pool and jacuzzi. Since we had it for dinner, it was dark outside, and there were lights that were hanging on the patio that made the ambiance that much cozier. Great experience and highly recommend this location for some yummy Hawaiin bbq!

We had a weird experience with this location. The restaurant is inside a hotel, we arrived and there were no costumers but all tables were reserved. The waitress couldn't care less about us. She also told us that the restaurant was bring your own beer whatever that means. Also they accepted only cash. We decided to try somewhere else.

This place deserves all the praise possible, great atmosphere, amazing food, and best hosts ever. As all the previous comments say, the fries are amazing. The shrimp was exquisite in the garlic sauce, the chicken was cooked to perfection in the pineapple sauce. Everything was just amazing. I think I'll come back to the island just for them.

Ko Tiki Terrace was recommended by our VRBO host as a place that was excellent and not widely known so we decided to try it.Walking in was really cool. You enter from the Bamboo hotel lobby into the restaurant that is located in the outside middle of the hotel. Felt like a true tiki lounge! There is a pool in the middle that has an underwater purple light so the dimly lit area had some great ambiance. I think evening when it is dark is the perfect time to visit Ko Tiki Terrace.All tables were open so getting seated was not an issue but made us wonder why no one was there. They do not have a current beer/wine/etc license so that may be a factor.That is pretty much the highlights. The menu is different than what I would have expected. You pick a protein and then the sauce and sides. We all had chicken ($16) and then the sides were $8 each! So for a scoop of steamed rice or mac salad or fries, it was $8....50% of the price of our protein. Also, website is incorrect, it shows chicken as $9The food was decent but the portions were unusually small...each dinner was served on a salad plate rather than a normal sized dinner plate. For 4 of us, it was a little over $100 for basically a small salad plate of 1 entree and 1 side and all drinking water.Our server was not rude but she was very disengaged. Basically stood behind the bar area with her AirPods and phone. She told me to get up and walk over to the bar area (where there were no customers) when I wanted the bill. Not really what is expected in a sit down restaurant like this.This place has a lot of potential. Ambiance is awesome but needs some Hawaiian music playing. Maybe modify the menu (and website) so that dinners are inclusive of sides and show total cost up front. Also, have the staff engage more with the guests.Next time we are in Waikiki, we will pop our heads in to see if things have changed...if not, for the money, I would head to Dukes.
