Cheeky Tiki is a cute spot with covered outdoor dining and a fun atmosphere. I ordered the fish tacos with French fries and a piña colada lava drink—everything was delicious. My friend tried the shrimp and rice but wasn’t impressed. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, service, and the view.

It’s not a ceviche, more like a pico de gallo. What the heck they use, a gold fish? Managment needs to be prepared for a random rush at any time, any day.

Food was not very good, beer was cool not cold. Service sucked. Got a burger with pineapple on it and the pineapple was extremely thin and was like jerky (not exaggerating), Wife got tacos wanted 1 fish and 1 shrimp, nope could not accommodate that request.

Very good food, well prepared. Service ok. Drinks memorable as is the view. I like the reggae they play. There are steps everyplace and the floor is uneven but feels sturdy enough.

Drinks were decent. Food not that good. Server also charged another table’s food and beverage to our table and when I had the manager fix it, she removed the items that weren’t ours but didn’t adjust the tip. I came home to see I essentially left a 50% tip because I tipped on food and drinks I didn’t even purchase.

I came in alone, eventually a lady came that asked me if did anyone speak to me. I told preceded to tell her no. She shared that the restaurant is obviously packed and that she was the manager. She ask me what I wanted I gave her my drink and appetizer order. I over heard her speaking to the guest in the area. She apologized to them and Socialize with them but never with me. She comes to me again and brings up about how busy it is and im ticket #3 or whatever. Which I could careless cause I was never impatient or frustrated. So I tell her that I have no problem waiting and again I obviously see that it is busy. She takes my order, I started to noticed those around me that came right before me and right after me getting their foods. Not to mention her interaction with everyone vs interacting with me which I am a paying customer too. I wanted to walk out on the order but I stayed till I got my food. But I will not be back again. I traveled to Kona for a wedding. Again I was never impatient or anything. Just need to provide customer service equally to everyone!

We just got drinks here so we can’t speak to the food, but our drinks were delicious! We sat at the bar rail overlooking the bayfront, where they have small snacks out for the geckos. Our bartender was great as well. We hope to come back here soon.

Kayla was our server and she was great! We ordered 2 salads, a Ceasar salad and i had the Asian chopped salad which turned out to be the best meal I have had since coming to Hawaii. Everything up to this point has been fried or soggy. The Asian chopped was fresh and delicious. Kayla was great to talk to and has a great attitude! Thank you all so much!

Continued... we went back yesterday. This place doesn't let you down! This time we ordered a Raman meal with chicken, very delicious. Also ordered two drinks (pictured) a Mai Tai (original recipe) and a Solo Dolo which is in the mushroom cup that is a hibiscus based drink. My wife loved it! Be warned it is closer to two drinks not one.
Great view of the ocean/ dock. We ended up sitting there for quite some time. Kayla was our server again and again she was awesome. Talked with the owner and discovered all of their fish is purchased off of local local fishermen right off the boat. Very fresh! We will be back.

Great food and even better drinks. A must stop for any tiki lover!

Such a fun place to eat! Fantastic view of the coast, the drinks come in quirky cups and bowls (yes, BOWLS!), and the fish was outstanding. Only downside is the expensive parking (not their fault), and it was super busy for a 3pm lunch on a Wednesday, but I'm wondering if we got there the same time as cruise ship passengers. The poke and corn dog pupus were delicious, and for many of the cocktails you can pick the alcohol strength (such a great concept!). HIGHLY recommend!

Friendly staff, limited menu. This is a tourist spot to watch Ali’i Drive and the sunset, no frills.

Portion sizes are average and pricing is the same as anywhere else on the strip. You’ll enjoy it if you’re visiting. Staff is great though, our server Matt was incredibly friendly and attentive.
