Tiki Bars near Santa Monica, CA

“Favorite dishes: Lomo Saltado-juicy well marinated beef, perfectly blistered tomatoes and onions, easily one of the best I've had in LA Waygu Crunchers-ideal happy hour bite, reminiscent of Nobu. Well priced and packed with flavor Spanish Octopus -tender and citrusy, it's hard to execute the perfect char without overcooking the octopus and it becoming rubbery. This was our tables favorite dish, it was hard to not order 3 more. It was that good Favorite cocktails: Happy hour Paloma- strong, well made cocktail with real grapefruit juice instead of soda Spicy margarita- this one is no joke, jalapeño infused and super fresh tasting Smoke show- a mezcal lovers dream Service: Reza, the owner, greeted us with impeccable hospitality when he stopped by the table to introduce himself. From the get go, he made our party feel right at home. Our server Kayla was super well versed when it came to menu recommendations and our busser was on top of his game keeping our table clear and our waters full. Ambiance: beautiful space, resort type vibes with a great playlist. We sat in the back patio/lounge area on a cold, windy evening and the heaters kept us nice and toasty. Overall highly recommend whether you're looking for the perfect low key date night spot or an after work happy hour, this place has the vibes on lock!“

“We popped into this gem to have a spot of lunch. We instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. We ordered the Teriyaki Burger (which was SO DELICIOUS!) and the Fried Chicken sandwich (perfectly juicy and tender with delicious dressing), and Hawaiian Fries. We had the frozen Maui Wowis, which were refreshing and sweet! If you’re looking for a cool place to eat delicious food, LOOK NO FURTHER. Here it is!“

“Fun classic and tasty with the perfect ambiance and level of server attention. If you want the flavor of the islands while thirsting for a perfectly balanced drink, this is your place. So beautifully and traditionally designed - it's clearly an island in and of itself in NoHo Arts District.“

“This review is very overdue and while I thought I had published it I found it in my drafts. Drove by the place a few weeks ago and it looked permanently closed :( Best Teppan / Sushi spot in LA! I don't even know where to start. I called to make a reservation for 20 on Mother's Day for my brother's birthday and of course Mother's Day. General manager Smith Dok helped me out and was very professional and friendly! Once we got there, we were greeted by staff and seated promptly. Food was awesome, chefs were amazing and friendly. Service was A1 all over!! Smith(manager) came over and introduced himself and made sure everything was good. On our way out he made sure to ask how everything went and rest assure we had an amazing night at this establishment. Going to miss this spot if it's permanently closed. I know they have other locations but I loved this one.“
