✨ Experiencing my first Kamayan feast at Tiki on 18th (@tikion18dc) was pure joy—a vibrant 15-Course spread of Filipino dishes served on banana leaves, meant to be shared and savored together. No utensils, just connection and incredible food. 🍤🍚 📍Washington, DC📍 . Thank you, @nomtastickim for the invite, and Tiki for having us! 🥰 . #Kamayan #FilipinoFood #dceats #Letstikibaby #tikion18th #boodlefight #filipinofood

Came here for tiki vinyl night and it was outstanding across the board! I loved the burger… that is seriously one of the most delicious I’ve had in DC. Impressed by tiki drink classics (the Mai Tai was tops) but also love they put their own spin on things with other tropical flavors. This spot shouldn’t live in the shadow of tiki bars past in DC, it’s just such a good spot and makes me wish it were my neighborhood bar, not just because of the drinks food and music but also the hospitality. Everyone was friendly attentive and warm, never felt rushed.

The drinks are always great. Between the three of us we enjoyed Mai Tais, Tiki Punches, Zombies, and a Mastodon. Always balanced, always great. The food was also next-level. I had Vegan Pansit and I'd honestly eat that everyday. Savory, comforting, and a great complement to the drinks. I come to Tiki on 18th every time I visit DC, wherever I book my hotel. It's either a short walk or an easy Metro ride away.

Went here for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner and unfortunately the experience was really disappointing from start to finish. We had noted ahead of time that it was a special occasion, but it was never acknowledged once during the evening. We were seated upstairs in the dining area and were the first table there. A few more reservation tables gradually came in throughout the night, but it never became particularly busy upstairs. Most of the energy and crowd seemed to be downstairs at the bar. Because of that, the inattentive service was even more noticeable. The restaurant also automatically adds a 20% service charge to the bill, which honestly made the lack of effort more frustrating. Our server, Irma, never introduced herself, barely spoke to us, and acted bothered anytime she came to the table. Even simple interactions felt awkward. The menu itself was also confusing and clearly printed incorrectly, with food and drink sections mixed together. When I asked about it, we were basically told we just had to work through it because the menus were printed wrong. The food was average at best. The chicken sliders were dry and lacked flavor, while the chicken sisig was okay but nothing memorable. What stood out most was how absent the service was throughout the meal. We were never offered water refills, never checked on after receiving our food, and the menus were left sitting on our table the entire time. At one point our server silently dropped drink napkins on the table and walked away without explanation, which honestly summed up the strange experience pretty well. After finishing our meals, we sat waiting for quite a while just trying to pay and leave because nobody came back to check on us. Adams Morgan has so many great dining options, so unfortunately this one just did not live up to expectations, especially for a special occasion dinner.

I always come here I love it, portions of the salmon seem to have gotten smaller but other than that, 10/10 experience. Love it here!

Despite the main dining room being closed (without notice to us) they honored our reservation in the bar. The place was packed and the service did their best to stay attentive to our table. The drinks were serviced quickly, but food service was slow. The appetizers were tasty - probably the best coconut shrimp I’ve had and the lumpia was flavorful. Sadly, the pork sissia cast iron skillet it is served on was superheated and burned the food to the point it lost all flavor. Hopefully a future experience will be better.

There is a reason this place has been around for so long. The food is amazing and the service goes above and beyond. I would bring back a group of friends to try out all of their tiki drinks.

My daughter chose to celebrate her 19th birthday here. I loved the drinks, food was decent, the vibes were energizing, and my daughter's group could choose from plenty of local clubs after having dinner here.
