| - Low rhythmic rumbling? Chanting? Dim red lighting? No, you're not in some kind of cult, you're in the Shameful Tiki Room! Interestingly named as there's nothing shameful about enjoying one too many tropical cocktails and belting out "Volcanoooooooo bowwwwwwl" every time they played this over their speakers.
While this place is tons of fun, I think I can only give it 3.5 stars. We went as a group of 8 for dinner/drinks and I gotta say, it was not a comfortable time. We were all squished on stools around a barrel in the corner, which acted as our table. It's very hard to eat on the barrel so we just held our dishes in our hands most of the time, family potluck style.
The food was actually pretty good. Except the pad thai. That was awful. Maybe it's because I asked for it to not have Sriracha, but I didn't expect all the flavour to come from that one condiment. It had weird scrambled egg bits in it and not enough ingredients/spices to make it anywhere near delicious. Maybe if they added some peanut sauce? The sliders with sweet potato fries were bomb though so I suggest ordering those instead.
Service was friendly, but there were some mistakes here and there (putting in an extra order of something, bringing the wrong item even though they confirmed it with us beforehand). However, the server explained that she was new and I'm usually ok with stuff like this if they're polite, so no harm done.
Highlight of the night: the mystery bowl that we got in a volcano bowl because they ran out of the original bowl. They did the gong thing and said "MYSTERY BoooWWLL" and also the whole volcano bowl shebang with the chanting, and the fog, and the fire in the bowl. Very cool and very delicious. But, with 4 people, it finished in literally 5 minutes.
