Tiki On 18th

This place was amazing! Service was outstanding. Victor was our waiter and he did a great job! Food came fast and was very good. We ordered a couple of drinks and all of them were good!! You will see some reviews saying this is bar food or it's expensive. They are wrong. You definitely get what pay for. Tip is 20% and is already included. This place is a must if you are in DC!

We had a great experience here. Fantastic service. Bartender and wait staff were excellent. Drinks were tasty and so was the food. The drinks menu is interesting and has lots of information on it, a mix of newer and classic tiki cocktails plus it changes seasonally. Food is Filipino and has some unique takes plus you can order from the sports bar downstairs. The decor is modern and tropical.

This restaurant is all hype but unfortunately it fell very short. They have a really nice out door tiki set up/vibe but the food was a great disappointment. Let me start off. We made a reservation online for a Saturday evening which required me to put my card info down. Parking in this area was almost non existent. We ended up parking three blocks away, We were served water to drink which we constantly had to ask to be refilled.. we also ordered the Lava flow Hawaii drink and the Zombie, Trader Vic, Jules Bergeron Jr. drink. Both were delicious and strong. They were served in tiki cups. To eat we ordered the Crunch time, Shrimp Bazookas, Java bowl with pork belly and a side of garlic bokchoy, Ginataang Kalabasa with pork, and Spicy Sisig. The Shrimp Bazookas were like a shrimp lumpia and they were pretty good. They were served with a strong ponzu like sauce. The Crunch time, or chicken skins were okay. Nothing special honestly. The Java bowl with pork belly had very soft, mushy and over cooked flavorless rice. The grilled pork in it was also bland and have very little sauce drizzled over it. The side of garlic bokchoy had no garlic and was just steamed.. The Ginataang Kalabasa with pork also lacked a lot of flavor, the rice was dried out as if it had been sitting, it didn’t have enough sauce and the pork was also dried out as if it had been sitting as well. The Spicy Sisig lacked flavor and spice. The pork in it left a taste in your mouth that meat does when it isn’t cleaned properly. It was served with a side of rice that was also dried out, not warm in the center and was sticking to the bowl it was in.. an indication that it was microwaved. Needless to say we did not enjoy our food.. The guy waiting on us checked after we got our food and asked how everything was then noticed we had hardly touched anything on our plates.. we said “it’s alright..” it was clear the food wasn’t good and we pointed out the bokchoy missing garlic and he offered to take it off our check. We then asked for a side of spicy vinegar thinking maybe it would help.. that spicy vinegar was never brought to us. He checked on us a total of three times the whole night and disappeared after that.. when we asked for a check we had to go up to the host and she came to our table with a tablet, didn’t show us the break down of the cost so we don’t know if we still paid for the bokchoy or not and did not give us a receipt.. a total of $140 .. food cost + 10% taxes + 20% mandatory serve charge.. the mark up was insane for food we did not even eat. And our waiter disappeared after we basically told him it was not good!? In terms of the bland food.. Filipino food is served with strong flavors so you eat more rice with it to balance each bite. This is historically due to poverty, rice is more affordable than anything else.. I feel that this restaurant really took down the flavor levels to appeal to their costumers in this area. But representation matters and this restaurant really fell short representing Filipino culture and taste..

Side walk seating and tiki bar drinks. How could that not be fun. With friends or on a date. Price.point is $$$. Service was.good and the kitchen has some nice choices. This will be a gem to keep in Adam's Morgan.

Let me start with the pro's: The food is really good. The staff super friendly and they check in with you every 10-15min to see if you need anything. They play nice music and have multiple menu's depending on what type of food you're craving. Cons: The outside part looks nice but the seats are uncomfortable and the tables aren't big enough to eat with more then 2 people. Overall a great experience but I recommend sitting inside even if the weather is nice

Incredible Tiki cocktails with superb electic Filipino food options mixed in from the adjoined sports pub. In short, all the cocktails are good but just depends on what you fancy. My favorites are the El Diablo Reposado Tequila, Lime, Creme de Cassis, Hibiscus, Ginger Beer and the Rum Dinner Kasama Filipino Rum, Lyon Rum, Banana, Pineapple, Lime, Blackberry, Grenadine The Spicy Sisig with grilled pig ears, crispy pork belly, chicken liver aioli, soy seasoning, and labuyo peppers is a must try, the flavor is epic and I can't stop thinking about it.

Saw this place online while looking for a place to have small bites. Went on a busy Saturday night and we were lucky enough to get a table for 6 without a reservation and without waiting. So I definitely recommend making a reservation. The service was okay, the food took a while to get again, they were very busy. Food and drinks were okay - they had options for dessert too but they had already ran out at around 8 pm.

This was a nice vibe for a happy hour. The food was subpar but the drinks, music and service were great. I would go again!

Came for a frozen drink but I was really surprised by the food, it was delicious. The pina colada was pretty good too although small. Overall good experience! Would deff try again on an evening. Make sure you have a reservation for rooftop seating.

Tiki and Filipino mix with awesome drinks. Ube waffle with chicken. Oh and you can buy the special glass!
