It was a busy day leading into a busy night and so there was not much cooking going on at the camp. After a quick "Where do you want to eat?" and a few "What are you in the mood for's?" The oracle that is yelp was consulted and this bookmark was found. It was agreed and the GF and I were out the door.
Upon arrival...I thought due it being the witching hour that we might be in for a bit of a wait. Not so! I was pleasantly surprised to find Tiki's not so busy on a cold and rainy night.
Walking in...the paint scheme and theme made me smile. Then things got a bit awkward. The gentleman being the counter simply greeted us and that was about it. There was a lot of options on the menu. I began to feel a sense of information overload while trying to make a decision. Struggling to find that perfect meal, I was left to suffer in silence. No customary assistance and no further friendliness. Dang it!
I soldiered on and placed my bets on the "Bento" ($9.75). It came with BBQ Beef, BBQ Chicken, Fish Fillet, and Chicken Katsu. The combo plates also come with two scoops of rice and a scoop of Mac salad. I also ordered a side of Kimchi for good measure.
The food was prepared quick enough. It quality is similar to other Hawaiian establishments I have visited. Alas, there was no follow-up by anyone about the experience.
Tiki's the food is A-OK. Tiki's the business/customer relationship was left wanting.
