Tiki Hawaiian Barbeque

So, one might be wondering «WTF! Why there is a Hawaiian restaurant in the middle of SLC, Utah?» Well, a lot of Hawaiian/​Samoan/​pacific islander folks have moved up here from the south pacific and recruitment of BYU in Oahu.
And.when you’re from the islands you gotta have some local goodness from home, especially if you’re surrounded by nothing but miles and miles of land and no pacific ocean!
I came by here wholly on accident while driving through en route to Wyoming and I was in tears to find such a gem after driving through miles of highway fast food. Katsu and mac salad? Heck yeah! Soooo ono! Gotta get more bruddah!
If I ever happen to drive by again on a roadtrip through SLC, it’s a definite have-​to-​stop-​and-​get-​grinds restaurant!
Yah, so ono! :)

Tiki Hawaiian BBQ is the best I have had since Hawaii. There are a lot of chain choices out there these days, but this restaurant is so much better than all of them. Tiki is run by a Husband Wife team and often times you will see other members of the family there, supporting this place is truly buying local.
I have had tried almost everything on the menu here and you will find that it everything offers the true taste of the islands, it will carry you away to your memories of the islands and that juicy plate lunch under a coconut palm. The Kalbi Ribs are Tender and juicy, the Pulled Pork is perfect and not too salty like so many others and the Spam Masubi is awesome and this is one of the few places where you can actually get it.
The décor here is basic and simple with sponge painted walls and pictures and posters of the islands. The beverages are serve yourself and the service is quick enough to get you back to work in 30 minutes or an hour if you you go during lunch. You can call ahead to order and pick it up for take-​away as well.
For a special tropical Tongan treat try the Otai and for desert don’t forget the Guava Cake or the Haupia.
