The food was great, the show was fantastic and the theming was spot on! This was a really cool spot in an unsuspecting place. I can’t wait to go again!

I was recently invited to The Tiki Terrace for a friend’s birthday and, unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. The food was very mediocre – I had the salmon plate, and my partner ordered a pork dish. Neither was particularly tasty or memorable. The only highlight of the meal was the coconut dessert, which was quite enjoyable.

As for the show, was decent. We felt rushed to get out as soon as the show ended ! I was hoping for a more enjoyable evening, but this fell short.

Everything about this place is great. Truly a hidden gem in literal sense.

Atmosphere is truly a tropical Hawaiian island. Hostess & staff was very friendly and welcoming explaining the menu. Food was on the point. Especially appetizer and coconut chicken entree. Pasta was spicy but flavourful. Burger was a bit too salty for my taste. Mai Tai is a must try drink.

The show was incredible. Lot of energy, grace and audience engagement. They make sure the entire place is involved and experiencing a mini Luau sampler night.

Overall a great place for families / friends events or celebrations. Early reservation recommended.

Vegetarian options: Veg egg roll, pasta

Kid-friendliness: Very kids friendly, and they specifically engage children in the show.

My wife and I went here for our combined birthday weekend and it was above and beyond our expectations!! Our server Nancy was wonderful in every way. When they say you are ohana, they really do mean you are like family. Great show, great food, great atmosphere. I would recommend The Tiki Terrace to everyone! Mahalo!!!

First time visiting and everything was fantastic! Our server, Nancy was prompt and very accommodating to our two small kids. The drinks were tasty and strong, food was delicious and huge serving sizes, and the show was a lot of fun. Would come again for a special occasion!

Great food and great show. I didn't have high expectations for the food considering it was a place with a live show but i was pleasantly surprised to find they had some of the best Hawaiian food I've ever had. The show was a lot of fun as well. A great place to celebrate a birthday or to take a date. Vegan options are very limited so keep that in mind if it's a requirement.

This experience was priceless! I have lived in the area for many many years frequently shopping Jewel across the street and other shops in the strip but just have never had the opportunity, finances or time to visit this gem, thankfully my lovely daughter took me for my birthday, and it was absolutely amazing. Loved the atmosphere the food. The people the experience and the show will definitely recommend this to everyone. See you again soon!!! (Very soon) ???

My wife took me and my two boys (3&6) to Tiki Terrace over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. We had such a great time and I would recommend this experience to anyone! I got the bbq pork and my wife got the coconut chicken. Both dishes tasted amazing and the portions were very generous. They have a great selection of classic Tiki drinks. We ordered a Painkiller and a Zombie and they were both excellent; perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is spot on! The majority of the decorations were hand crafted by the original owners. The entertainment was wonderful. You could tell that all of the dancers loved what they were doing. There were a lot of people there celebrating an anniversary or birthday. If you tell them you are there to celebrate a birthday, be prepared to get on stage. My kids and I learned how to do a Haka, which was a blast. Anyway, this is absolutely a hidden gem. It looks like just another strip mall restaurant from the outside but you have to give it a try. I'll be back for sure!

Kid-friendliness: My kids were entertained during the whole show. They loved watching the dances!
