Tiki Tatsu-Ya: Experience the Best Tiki Bar and Ramen in Austin

We were visiting from HTX, and this is the Best tiki bar I’ve been to from checking in to service to walking out, we had a great first experience. The drinks were yummy, they do have a couple of items they can make non-alcoholic, and the food was delicious. We got the kalua pork lettuce wraps, salmon miso poke 10/10, and the crab lagoon.

I'm here for work and brought a group of my colleagues to Tiki Tatsu-ya for the evening. I've heard about Tiki Tatsu-ya for a number of years, but it really exceeded my expectations. The decor was dense, carefully thought out, and immersive. The drinks were not just delicious, but had small and fascinating riffs on traditional tiki classics (the addition of miso to the orgeat in their S.O.S. was a great example). But the hospitality of the staff was the best part--everyone we interacted with was warm, enthusiastic, and really made us happy to be there. This place deserves its reputation as one of the best tiki bars in the world.

This place is incredible! We popped in for a few drinks and honestly what a ride! When certain drinks are ordered, there’s a whole theatrical experience with lights and music. The bartenders are clearly loving what they do, and their energy makes the whole place come alive. The atmosphere is fantastic, fun, vibrant, and full of good vibes. The drinks are unbelievable and crafted to perfection. Perfect spot for couples, groups, or anyone looking for a lively and memorable night out!

This bar is so cool!! I never knew this existed. The bar is so awesome. Their drinks are extravagant! The staff is really great. I highly recommend reservations, but sometimes you can get away with walking in and bar seating.

We had the pleasure of going to this lovely bar after the delicious ramen we had next door and it did not disappoint. As soon as you walk in, you're taken to another world of island bliss. It is a little dark in there because it's a cave like atmosphere. The drinks are over the top and it's an entire experience. The drinks were delicious and the service was great. They have a couple of items on the food menu but I would focus on the drinks more than the food.

I recently visited Austin for a week with my girlfriend. We spent an evening upstairs sitting at the bar in the relaxed beach vibe dining room. It was truly the greatest bar we went to all week and one of the funnest nights we had. This place is the epitome of tiki culture through and through. The drinks were amazing, the bartenders were charismatic, extremely skilled, and just a joy to talk to. Just sitting in this atmosphere and observing the night unfold around you is an experience in itself and makes a trip well worth it. We bought a slurping bastard tiki mug as one of our only souvenirs from our entire trip. I highly recommend this bar, especially if you have any interest in tiki. We did not order much food because we ate previously, but the menu was extremely fun, we wished we had more room to eat so we could try some of the cool things they had. You guys are doing great things, you represent the best of tiki culture.

We stopped here before our dinner reservation at Odd Duck. The drinks were delicious and strong. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very kind and attentive. The drinks are not cheap; but will not leave you wondering if there is alcohol in them like many places do. The atmosphere is unbelievable- it really is like Disney for adults. Make sure to make a reservation and know that you enter around the back of the building. So much fun and worth the stop if you are looking for a fun date night!

This is just the Amazon Rainforest for adults…and I loved it. Not only is the vibe and theatrics fun, the food and drinks are also really good. Plenty of parking. Come as a couple or with friends. And get one of the platters.
