Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar offers a "fun tiki atmosphere" with "excellent music" and a unique band on a boat experience. While the drinks and service are praised as "top notch," the food is often described as "pedestrian" and expensive. Visit for the "memorable" ambiance and entertainment, rather than the dining.

    This is a fun kind of experience, mostly for an older crowd. We ordered the pupu sampler (appetizer), the beef main dish and one of the salads. The food was great and my mom (aged 77) loved it and the band. If you come after 7 pm they play music here. Overall one of the highlights of our trip!

    Great drinks! Overpriced food. Cover charge for the band is a rip off if you are having dinner.

    The experience was okay. The band and atmosphere was great but the food and drinks were mediocre. Drink were too sweet and food was way to expensive for the quality. Felt like a rainforest cafe vibe. The only saving grace was the band which was great. There were many added fees including the reservation fee$50 per person in advance(deducted from the final bill) plus a fee for the band $15 per person. Not worth it and don't plan on going back.

    Service and ambiance was good however the food is very mediocre, especially for the high price tag. Glad I checked it out but probably won't be back for a while due to how expensive it is.

    Yes, the iconic SF Tonga Room…..come here for the ambience, not the food & drinks. Poor quality food. Overpriced and simply not good. Terribly disappointed.

    Honestly thought the drinks would be stronger, since they name off 3-6 different alcohols in each one. I think they put an eye drop of each alcohol in the drinks. The food, waaay overpriced for the portion you receive. Band was very good though. Will we be back? I don’t think so.
