About This Place

Located in the heart of Walnut Creek, Tiki Tom's vibrantly brings Hawaiian and fusion flavors to life within an intimate, tiki-inspired setting. This unique restaurant and tiki bar exquisitely combines the tropical spirit of the islands with innovative culinary craftsmanship, creating a dining experience that’s both adventurous and comforting.

Step inside and you’re immediately transported to an exotic escape. While the space is cozy and intentionally dim-lit to enhance its authentic tiki vibe, it buzzes with energy and warmth. The colorful decor and lively atmosphere perfectly complement the dynamic menu, making it a favorite spot for birthdays, celebrations, or casual nights out. As one delighted guest shared, “The room comes alive with the volcano,” a testament to the immersive and playful ambiance.

Tiki Tom’s menu is a delicious fusion of classic Hawaiian staples and inventive twists designed to intrigue every palate. Signature dishes like the Chicken Katsu and Kalua Pork & Rice Plate burst with vibrant island spices, while the Smashed Burger Hawaiian offers a juicy, tropical-infused take on an American favorite. Don't miss the Tiki Bar Nachos, a savory fusion appetizer loaded with bold flavors, or the delicate yet satisfying Green Coconut Curry Entree. For those wanting a lighter option, the crisp Lettuce & Brussels Sprouts Appetizer provides a refreshing start.

Complementing the flavorful cuisine is an exceptional cocktail menu that is nothing short of innovative. From timeless favorites like the Original Mai Tai and Blue Hawaiian to intriguing newer creations such as the Tamarind Margarita and Hawaiian Rain, each drink is expertly crafted and beautifully presented. The playful Bar Is Lava and communal Fish Bowl cocktails invite shared enjoyment, while the distinctive Tiki Horchata and Caribbean Hummer blend tropical sweetness with exotic spices. Guests have praised the drinks as “great” and “innovative,” perfectly striking the balance between traditional tiki flair and modern cocktail art.

Dessert at Tiki Tom’s continues the island feast with indulgent treats like the decadent Bananas Foster Bread Pudding and the tempting Dole Whip with Rum Float. These sweets capture the essence of tropical comfort food, finishing your meal on a high note.

Attentive and friendly staff elevate the experience further, making every meal feel special and personalized. As one visitor recounted, the team’s warmth and attentiveness stood out — from prompt seating to knowledgeable recommendations, their service complements the food and ambiance perfectly.

Tiki Tom’s is more than just a restaurant; it's a lively, flavorful journey to island paradise nestled in the Bay Area. Whether you’re gathering for a festive birthday bash, a romantic night out, or simply craving expertly mixed cocktails and vibrant Hawaiian-inspired dishes, this charming tiki bar and restaurant promises an unforgettable escape full of flavor, fun, and aloha spirit.

    Small and a bit dark inside, but the vibe is great. Staff are really nice. We went twice. Once for my birthday, and their celebration style is super fun. The food is full of flavor and everything we tried was delicious.

    In all honesty, this review is from a visit from a few months ago, but I feel like it still stands. I stopped by here with my friend on a Saturday was seated within ~5 minutes. The Horst and wait staff were super friendly, attentive, and helpful! I don't remember what drinks or dishes I ordered (shrimp rice bowl, poke appetizer?), but both were delicious and well seasoned! The drinks were on the stronger side, but so good! I remember that even with all this, the price was still reasonable. Overall, I had a great time here and loved the food and drinks! I would definitely come back for a happy hour or drink. Service: 5/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

    Great tiki build in Walnut Creek. When we went they had a Christmas overlay but the details around the bar are amazing. Truly a sign of a great tiki bar when you can't see everything on your first visit. Unique drinks and some staples as well. Great place to hang out!
