Excellent Fusion Food & Retro Tiki Vibes
We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back. Here are the highlights of our visit:
Exceptional Service: Our waiter was incredibly attentive and provided excellent menu recommendations that hit the mark.
Unique Atmosphere: The space has a great retro ambiance, though it is tucked away. We needed a bit of help finding the tiki bar section, but it was well worth the discovery.
Standout Menu: We enjoyed a diverse spread including a brisket bowl, hibachi steak tips, a sushi roll, and a Hurricane. The portions were very generous—we were completely full and still had plenty of leftovers to take home.
Memorable Drinks: Island Marg & Hurricane, it was just as impressive as the rest of our order.

Cool little place inside Tiger Lily. Great drinks. Great service, especially from Myles. Very knowledgeable about tiki drinks and culture. Also, he went way above and beyond to return my credit card, which I left behind. He remembered where we mentioned we were going for dinner, ran down the street and personally returned my card. Can't thank him enough for doing that. Definitely earned some return customers!

Impressive Tiki bar with knowledgeable and fun staff who are willing to go the extra mile for those who are genuinely interested in tiki cocktails! Relax, have fun, and be dazzled by the drinks these bartenders can make with a super well stocked bar.
Grab a few mugs on the way out as well!

When I went it was alittle slow but it was definitely great. Spicy Tuna Rolls where the best. Hands down. Tiki drinks and cups were on the money and as expected. Love the design of the bar, small and intimate.

I had very high hopes seeing the photos online. Atmosphere was way too bright, very small selection of tiki drinks that were not authentic, drinks were fair at best, sushi ok but nothing great.
Definitely do not recommend as there are far been options.

Great place and lovely bartenders but unsure why they have a DJ blaring horrible music. It was very hard to hear what the other person sitting across from me was saying and the place wasn’t even half full. Hang the DJ

Will is the best! He made a delicious dirty martini with the perfect amount of olives.

Mai Tiki is actually a hidden hole in the wall inside/behind the sushi place Tiger Lily. It's got a good tiki look, but they don't have tiki-style food (they just use the menu from the sushi place, which is rather expensive and not tiki at all).
When we were there, they told us they would soon be discontinuing their tiki drink menu also, which, to me, eliminates any reason to go to Mai Tiki at all.
We'll be going to Eastern Palace Club instead, next time, which is a much more authentic experience.

Jimmy & Christian were absolutely phenomenal bartenders and hosts! My coworker decided to stop in after a long shift and although the food took longer than anticipated (due to late opening because of private function- not Mai Tai’s fault) they were exceptional with going above and beyond to make up for the longer wait. We enjoyed the flavorful and strong cocktails while enjoying the atmosphere and music! We will surely be back!!

Wow! What can I say. Christian and Sarah provided a great experience for my husband and I. We’re new to the area and grabbed drinks after dinner. Sarah and Christian both recommended drinks based on what we were eating that would go well together. Sarah even helped craft a custom drink based on the vibe I’m feeling. They also provided great conversation and recommendations for other places in the neighborhood since we just moved in. We will definitely be back, especially if Christian and Sarah are working because of the experience they provided. Amazing!!!

Will you come in? It’s aesthetically pleasing very nice decor. The cups are cute. You feel a nice vibe, but the bartenders did not make you welcome no hi, hello, or welcome . They did not speak to us until it was 20 minutes in just sitting. Then they yelled at us from across the bar before coming to our table to take our order. Then it was to much of an inconvenience to bring our drinks to the table so we grab them our selves. We were so turned off by the service we left after one drink. For context it was not busy at all we were the only party there that hadn’t been served and it was only 3 groups of 2 or 3 people. Save your coin go somewhere nicer
