I had made a reservation way in advance and then what followed didn’t feel right and actually never experienced this from a business. The situation was resolved and I was happy to finally get to be in the Royal Hawaiian . A place I used to walk by when I grew up in Laguna Beach as a kid.
Parking was easy , hostess very nice . We took photos in the shell , looked around it was fun. And then there was no music at all. The table we sat at was dark as in no ambiance . I asked if it was possible to turn the lamps on , which they did.
The food I thought was good. I had no bloating or tummy issues . I did think that the Pu Pu platter was too salty but everyone else seemed to enjoy it .
6 of us then sat at the bar . Jose the greatest bartender made Tiki drinks for us that were perfect !

We just had drinks so my food stars are really just a comment on the excellent quality of the drinks. I had the Smoke and Roses and the Dragon’s Milk. Both were some of the best tiki cocktails I’ve had. RH relies more on flavor and presentation than ABV and sugar. Great complex flavors that tell a story. Amazing decor and music. And our server was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful highly-themed establishment with beautifully crafted cocktails and a broad range of delicious food offerings–both for full meals or small bites. My salmon was flavorful and perfectly cooked with a lovely crisp on the outside, but still flaky and moist on the inside.

Mixed feelings! I loved this place, the decor is on point, quite adorable! The service was good, no complaints. The food however was hit and miss. Our appetizers were delicious veggie egg rolls and coconut shrimp. The coconut cake was nice dense and delicious. One of the mocktails was decent, the Pina colada however I prefer blended, they just poured pineapple juice and some coconut juice into some ice and didn’t even stir. The main dishes were also not great. The chicken was just not very good we had a taste and it did not have a good flavor. The macaroni salad had way too much mustard for my personal taste. This is a great place to maybe hang out at the bar grab some appetizers but not really full on dinner. Overall experience was enjoyable but main entrees just didn’t hit the spot.

we got the spam masubi, chicken dumplings, and hulu hulu chicken with macaroni salad and garlic rice. the spam masubi was the best food item we had, but it wasn’t anything special. the dumplings were fine also but not something i’d order again, the chicken was dry and lacked flavor, the sides were unremarkable. the best part of our meal was the pina colada, that’s why it got a 3 and not a 2. probably won’t come back but i will say our service was amazing!!

1st time here. Really nice atmosphere- tiki bar. Food was fantastic. Bartenders were also the servers. They knew it was my birthday so they sang happy birthday and was going to give me a free desert but I was to full. I got there at happy hour. ordered the Spring veg rolls- they were delicious took some home along with the main entree which was Pineapple Curry Rice. It had a type of pork/shrimp, peas, and scallions cut into a pineapple. Very tasty. Would go back when Im back in Laguna Beach, CA.

Excellent happy hour deals. $10 for some great Tiki drinks. No skimping on quality or fun presentation. The customer service has been excellent, especially in the last few months. The mixologists are definitely tiki aficionados! Food was great as well.

Would be 5/5 stars if the drinks were not $19. Would have been 4/5 without the weirdly predatory photo experince.
After tax and tip included its ~22 a drink. I would not recommend visiting off happy hour – when the prices are more reasonable. Only the Mai Thai is on the happy hour for drinks tho. The happy hour food was good, but with 3 drinks total, 2 appetizers, and 1 meal off happy hour we still spent over $110.
Further, they asked us to take a picture at the front which was cute then brought it in frames to our table and pushed it really hard on us. $20 for a per photo in a cheap frame… then they asked for a tip on the checkout of the photo starting at 20%! It felt gross and ruined the whole vibe of the place.
Great esthetic and the drinks tasted great, but the price and photo experience were a big turn off. If you are a tiki bar person like me, worth a single visit but be warned on cost

Overall a good experience. Food and drinks were delicious. Prices are on the high side. Beware…you have to be SEATED in the bar area to get Happy Hour prices – no kids! However, we were not aware of that and we came for dinner with kids. They were willing to accommodate us. Even with happy hour prices we still paid about $60 a head with tip. It’s a pretty cool Polynesian themed Tiki Bar, but I think the prices they charge are a bit high for this place – especially for dishes with a few pieces of shrimp or a filet of mahi-mahi or chicken. I’d say it’s good for happy hour specials, but overpriced for anything beyond that.

While there are only two vegan items listed on the menu, the chef Nora went out of her way to make us fried rice without meat or egg. she even brought us a side of perfectly marinated tofu with it. Our waiter Jairo was amazing and told us the story of how they came up with the “flamin’ willy” shot… i wish we lived closer so we could come more often.
