Went there on a weekend afternoon. Not very busy, atmosphere is a little off. Food comes out very fast, and that's because it's not very good. My duck pad Thai had a large bone in it that I did not discover until I tried to bite into it. Service was spoty at
My husband & I decided to give the new location a shot after having a ‘meh’ experience over a year ago, before they moved, & omg what an improvement. It was a rainy day @ lunchtime & the place was empty except for us. The food & service were truly exceptional.. we had the Thai ceviche, Crab Rangoon, Tiki burger, & Green Curry fried rice with salmon - it was hard to decide, but the bartender, TJ, was great! Easy to talk to, funny, great menu recommendations, & really knowledgeable about the cocktails (which we’ll absolutely be back for, since this place’ll be our new go-to). While I def recommend this place for lunch, we learned they’ve got live music on Weds nights & other nightlife fun for adults on the weekends. Kitchen staff came out & chatted with us - really friendly. So glad we gave it a second chance & are stoked to have it in the neighborhood!Vegetarian options: You can sub tofu or veggies for any animal protein.Dietary restrictions: GF optionsKid-friendliness: No kid menu but kid-friendly options (noodle/rice dishes, quesadillas, etc.)

Happy hour ends at 6:30 not 7.Free parking around the corner.Manager lied and said food wasn’t on happy hour but in the menu there is. Then when I asked my server she showed me. SmhCalamari was good with the chili sauce and the chicken lettuce wraps were super spicy for one who don’t eat spicy.Salmon tacos were good by my companion and the drinks were delicious and with right amount of alcohol. Birthday shot is great and tastes like tiramisu cake. Must try!Saturday karaoke doesn’t start until 10pm. No chargeThe tiki booths are only for those with 2 people no more than 4 depending on size.Waitress was awesome and food didn’t take long. To come this far idk if I would return unless I’m the area. Not really something worth it.

I love this place, great atmosphere and the service was absolutely phenomenal. Petra was amazing, please check this place out. Drinks and food were good and I’m usually pretty picky. Great chefs in the kitchen. Definitely will be back.
We had a really good time here. The atmosphere was beautiful. They put their whole p*ssy into our drinks and meals. The food was so delicious and the drinks were strong. Loved
Boyfriend and I would come here almost every weekend for karaoke night at the old location. We LOVED it and always had a great time. Not so much of a fan of the new location. Super cramped and hard to get around people, no dance floor for karaoke nights, the bathroom was atrocious, cobwebs all over the ceiling and a leaking toilet causing it to smell.They must use the same breading for all of their food, I ordered the Brussel sprouts and it reeked of the smell of fish and also tasted like it. Same with the chicken wings and other food that came out.This place is just not what it used to be. Time to find a new place for our weekend nights.

MPM Tiki Bar is so vibrant and fun.We were greeted right when we walked in and seated right away. We were given 2 food menus and two drinks menus....seems like a small detail, most restaurants only give you one drink menu and expect the table to order drinks 30 seconds after you sit down ( a personal pet peeve)Well staffed, and everyone was smiling and moving with a sense of urgency - something you sadly do not see everywhere today Our drinks came super fast. Unfortunately, our appetizer and dinner arrived together (-.5 star, I would normally take a full star away for poor kitchen timing, but our server was very attentive, refilling water, etc.)A few other notes:*VERY loud, making it hard to have a conversation *Fun cocktail menu. Very tiki barish!*Lots of interesting little table areas*Good portion sizes*Fresh food, cooked well*Large bar area*Multiple TVs*Live music on Wednesday *Outside patio seating*Parking can be tough, as it is busy in the areaWhat we ate:Steamed Dumplings Pad Thai with TofuPad See Yu with Pork My rating rationale +.5 Service+1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality+1 Presentation+.5 Atmosphere/vibe+1 Value

The drunken noodles with chicken are my girlfriend's go-to with a spice level 3. I decided to try the ginger snapper, which I got ordered fried - that was delicious as well! The ginger and vegetables were so fresh and flavorful. Both very filling meals.We also went for the Wasabi shots, which were phenomenal. I am not really a fan of Wasabi, but having it frozen before indulging in the shot helped to smooth it down. 10/10 would recommend.If you are in the area and appreciate Asian food, this is the place to visit! Very pleasant atmosphere as well! Large bar with multiple tvs and decorative tiki decor.

So we LOVE MPM. we followed lists of their restaurants and couldn’t wait for them to open in the old haligans in WBV. We went on a Wednesday night as a couple. They have live music. He’s s nice singer, great guy! However, please be aware that he plays late 70s rock and a few other songs. I requested Joan Jett, Alabama and Guns N’ Roses and he couldn’t play anything from those bands. It was fun but we we’re definitely the youngest in the crowd. Go on a Friday or Saturday and it’ll be wayyy more like a party!!
