Kon Tiki Restaurant & Lounge

The food is outstanding..we got the sampler platter for an app the ribs fell off the bone and the coconut shrimp were For mains we ordered one of their Steak Terriyaki and the Chicken Katsu and waffle. Everything was amazing..our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we were enjoying the meal and drinks and was always on top of it when we needed anything. The Scorpion drink for 2 was for me, myself and I and we all enjoyed it 🤣

What fun! The luau platter was a hit. I really needed nothing more. The 3 sauces were all good. Serves 2. The Mau Nui chicken was good, veggies way uncooked. Need to fix that. Virgin Pina Colada very good. Service was ok. No one else was there so we shouldn't have had to wait for check etc etc. Atmosphere is so fun. I can't wait to bring guests and maybe come back for happy hour specials. So if not in a hurry this is really a fun place. I'd give 6 stars for atmosphere.

Really cool Tiki bar, one of the best! Great drinks, atmosphere, and nice bartender. We came during happy hour and had coconut shrimp and spring rolls. Both tasted great, but the spring rolls were a little mushy inside. The decor was perfect. I thought the merch was pretty expensive, so we didn't buy anything, but a mug would have been cool!

This place is so good recommend highly. Love the drinks menu they have a freshness taste to their mixed drinks not heavy with syrup. Food portions are worth the prices. Flavors to their BBQ ribs is so good with hint of sweetness. The meat just falls off the bone. Below is picture of Scorpion favored blue for 2 and their Hawaiian nachos. The nachos are a must to try. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back 👍

Our server was very friendly and didn't mind answering questions. Service was fast and accurate. Both the food and drinks were tasty and nicely sized. The restaurant is decorated in a fun kitschy way, a little darker then most places but the decor adds to the experience.

We loved the venue. It's very clean, dark, Polynesian theme was very cozy.
Food was served promptly. The fry was wonderful. Not greasy is always a plus!

We didn't care for the filling in the crab puffs but others will think it great. Personally we felt it was a little runny and the flavor more cream than we are used to.

The pain killer cocktail was amazing! Definitely a try when you go.

Tropical cocktails, oh my! Good snack food to go with the cocktails. Great, friendly service. Reasonable prices. Indoor or outdoor seating.

A wonderful place to eat and have some really good drinks.
All of the staff are professionals about there work if I could give 12 stars I would they deserve it.

The front door is a portal into another universe. I had no idea I would be crossing the pacific and ending up in Kon Tiki. What a fun environment. The vibes here are exquisite. The drinks are super fun… I recommend the Lava Lava, Hawaii five-0, the water, they put cherries in the coke, kontiki special, tortuga, and so much more. The Hawaii Five-oh transported my cousin into sunscreen (banana boat). When my acquaintance bit into the calamari, it took them to Avalon, NJ on the Princeton patio on a pleasant, light summer night.

So yeah come here it’s super fun. I recommend the drinks more than the food but it’s still super fun!!

Service was great, the food was amazing, and the drinks are awesome. The setup they have in there is really neat. Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be going more often. Wish we tried this place sooner.

The Hawaiian atmosphere made for a fun, first visit on 2/10/2024. Started with calamari & artichoke dip, that was delicious 😋. The wings, hamburgers 🍔 and salads 🥗 were also delicious 😋. My family will definitely be going back.

Really really love this place. The ambience is so fun and warm. The food and drinks are great. Their scorpion bowls are perfect for groups. The mixed drinks are straight forward and delicious. The crab puffs were a bit different to say the least but that is the worst thing I have to say about this place. The wiki wiki steak surprised me to no end in a great way. I never would have imagined such a combination. This place has the bestts ketchup I've ever had in my life. Such an odd thing I know but people need to know the quality, ambience, and creativity here is phenomenal down to every detail. I'd like to add their tacos are delicious and they have deals every Tuesday. Additionally, I tried their Bulgogi recently. I am ruined because I lived in Korea for a year but it was an alright version of it. They need to leave the ornamental flower and random side veggies out of it though.

Update 2023: this place is Incredible. The bar, the kitchen, the PRICING and especially THE WAIT STAFF. ONE waitress for a full dining room. Food came stupid early in a good way and drinks are impeccable. Waitress was amazing and not stressed. She's really good at checking on you. The food is even more unbelievable in quality than it was and it was amazing before. Pricing is insane in the best way. Way underpriced meals. Kon tiki has always been incredible but I was astounded today.
****** Stars if I could.

Great find! 60s Hawai’ian-style restaurant, fun decor and atmosphere, good food and service. Delicious burger; the fries were tasty and fresh, steak&lettuce cup was yummy too. Lots of tempting choices on the menu.

This is one of the last, true, authentic Tiki bars that has been in business since the 1960s. You can find all of the classic cocktails there and they're made the right way. The food is good, but the pupus are probably the best way to enjoy a variety. The Tiki decor is pretty well done with a giant thatch roof bar and several mois. If you're a tiki fan, this place is must-see. I highly recommend you come even if you're not into it, because you will be soon.

I was there on a busy Friday night, with my BNI networking group. Our server was fantastic! He remembered everybody's order and made sure we all got taken care of under happy hour. He was outstanding and patient and just crushed it!

Good cocktails and good food!
I had Pain killer - tasty, creamy, yummy, and Tortuga - strong AF!!
My hubby had Mai Thai - very classical, and Jungle Juice - they serve it in a pineapple.
Drinks were great 👍
Husband's bulgogi steak was good, and my Ahi Poke was just EXCELLENT!

Everything was awesome. The service was Great... the food was delish... and the drink was just BOMB...want the Hawai experience need 2 come here

What better place for a Blue Hawaii and their great artichoke spinach dip served in a small cast iron skillet for St. Patrick's Day. The bartender knew his artistic mixology skills. Very few in there at 4 pm and jam packed when we left at 6 pm. The food is as good as the drinks. What a perfect place for any early drink. The old school Grasshopper looked like layers of fluffy creaminess goodness.

On a Friday evening it was very busy. Standing room only. There were 5 of us, but they were still able to seat us fairly quickly. I had a half rack of ribs. Ordering ribs can be a gamble, because you never know how the sauce will be. The rib sauce at KonTiki was probably the best sauce I've ever had. I'm definitely getting that again. My sisters got the sampler plate. It's actually listed as a 2 person appetizer. But it's a good size meal for one person. Also very good. One odd thing. The group in the private room toward the back closed the curtains after their meal to take some group pictures. The bartender noticed and stormed over to the room saying loudly, Why are these shut?, as she whipped the curtains open. Seemed a little rude and unnecessary. The group carried on with their photos seemingly unscathed. Other than that, the visit to KonTiki was very enjoyable. Of course we'll be back again.

Long standing, very cool lounge. Amazing selection of cocktails and mixed drinks, service is always spot on, and the expanded/revamped menu is a pleasant surprise. Happy hour is perfect.

We've now been there a few times over the past year. Food and drinks are always consistent, as well as the service. We'll be back soon!
