   First time dining at KTT. I had been there before but only for a Tiki Marketplace. Agree with many of the other positive reviews. Great service, food, and potent drinks. The rum float is no joke. We had early reservations, and this helped with the noise level as it wasn't crowded. Would love to go back and get a table out in the main bar area as the two guitarists were wonderful!!!! I could have listened to them all night. The restaurant was very gracious and was able to accommodate my request to be seated in a particular booth. Thank you again Kahuna Tiki Tu. 🥰🙏🍹

   The experience at Kahuna Tiki 2 was great. The ambiance was exquisite with all the tiki decorations. We all enjoyed it a lot. We highly recommend the Sushi. The drinks are made in excellent form, with heavy booze and a lot of fruit flavor. The birthday girl wanted a Dole Whip Freeze drink, but the machine was not working, so she had to order a different drink. Before our dinner was over, the bartender asked our birthday girl who was over 40 if she still would like the Tiki Dole Whip drink, she stated please, and the bartender said he got the machine to work and made her birthday perfect. Great job!

   The vibes and the music were fun and the waitress was attentive. We ordered the the fresh oysters but she said they didn’t have any and the shipment hasn’t come in for two weeks. That’s fine it happens. We asked what she recommended and she said a sushi pizza…it tasted as weird as it sounds. We ordered some cocktails, they didn’t really taste like anything just rum. They have a laundry list of ingredients but don’t taste like much. They also had to come back and tell us that the blender broke and they couldn’t make blended cocktails. A tiki bar with only one blender?….okay. We then had to wait 30 minutes for one roll. There was nobody there not sure if they forgot but we waited a while. Overall the food is fine, the alcohol is okay, the ambiance is fun and the waitresses are attentive. Just left a bad first impression.

   In addition to a big sushi menu and another menu of Polynesian style food, they had Jill Martini & The Shrunken Heads entertaining us. The tiki decor was great too.

   Great place, from ambiance to service to food. Definitely a variety to choose from.

   Great experience! Food and service and drinks were delicious! We came on the early side for a Saturday night so the place was pretty quiet.

   Overall, great Tiki décor! Service was 10/10! No giant screen TVs with sports, so that was good. Food was good, drinks were good. Will be back! Love the place...

    We’ve been to the Magnolia location several times but this was our first time at this newer location. All the drinks were great, the scallop skewer was amazing, the sushi and sushi rolls were creative and tasty - and with great presentation. The service was friendly and quick and the decor is so fun. My one note/suggestion would be to play more on-theme background music. When we were there it was just popular classic rock satellite radio, which in itself is not “bad” - but some fun mid-century exotica like Les Baxter and Martin Denny would really cap off the whole experience and enhance the immersive feel that’s already being carried by the decor and menu. They were also very good at accommodating our toddler and prepared an off-menu big bowl of really good fresh cut fruit for him that he devoured.
