Wonderful experience!!! I will say the kids that were at the restaurant tonight were not well behaved and took away from the atmosphere.

Came here tonight with my family and I was not disappointed! The drinks were amazing and the food was incredible! My niece got the virgin shark and it was so good for a mocktail! The atmosphere is so cool. It really fits the theme of a true tiki bar which I love! Definitely more of an adult atmosphere however they do allow kids until 8pm. There is gratuity of party’s of 4 more but they mention that on the back of the menu AND circle it on the bottom of the receipt so you can’t miss it which I appreciate! We came in around 5:45 and the place was packed so I suggest a reservation.. The only thing I will say is we were sitting next too these 2 women with their 4 kids who were just so loud, running around, and jumping up and down on the chairs which was a little distracting while we were trying to enjoy our time, however, can’t really blame the restaurant for that. Overall this place is great and I would highly suggest it!

Darek was such a phenomenal server. We went on a busy Friday evening and he was so attentive. He took the time to provide us with some great recommendations and the food was wonderful. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Amazing drinks, friendly service, densely detailed theming. Great pizza to boot. As tiki enthusiasts, we’re so lucky to have a place like this in our back yard.

Such a great tiki bar! The owners have created such a rich environment and the drinks are top notch. A Tiki Oasis that is worth the trip even from the loop of Chicago!

Service was great, atmosphere was very decorative and the food was good! I got bbq wings 10/10 I also got the garlic Parmesan wings those were a 6/10. Margarita pizza was 8/10 there was something about the cheese I couldn’t recognize it was good but it just had a weird taste. Only thing I could complain about was the parking lot super tight and no where to park. Their mixed drinks were really good too not super sweet and not bitter either. I would come back, I would suggest a few veggie options or maybe a vegan one

We have visited numerous Tiki bars across the U.S. and Kahala Koa was a genuine surprise! Being a newer venue we weren't sure why to expect but the owners clearly did their research! Great drinks, good food and excellent ambiance! Can't wait to go back! Mahalo!
