    Kawloom Tiki is all about the atmosphere, and that's what makes it worth the visit. The beachside location on Revere Beach creates a fun, laid-back vibe that's good for relaxing with friends or enjoying a summer evening. Between the tropical décor, ocean views, and lively setting, it's easy to just chill and spend time soaking in the ambience. The staff was also very kind and welcoming throughout our visit. Service was friendly, but given just how insanely busy they were it was a bit on the slower side at first. As for the food, it was decent but nothing particularly memorable. Everything was prepared well enough, but there wasn't an anything that really stood out or made me eager to come back specifically for the menu. I highly doubt anything is made fresh or cooked to order but that's also not something you would expect from Kowloon Tiki. A true Northshore person knows! Overall, if you're looking for a fun spot to enjoy the beach atmosphere, have a few drinks, and spend time with good company, Kawloom Tiki is a decent choice. Just come for the vibe first and the food second, and you'll likely have a good time.

    this was such a let down & i hope they improve ASAP. it's very cute inside, but the food was awful. we ordered quite a few things, and they all had absolutely no flavor. we had to get the salt grinder from the bartender to make things edible. i got an order of chicken fingers with a side of the saugus sauce- that sauce didn't come out for about 45 minutes. by then, everything was cold and we were ready to go. the manager came up 2x to apologize for the delay, which was very nice- but still... it's your most popular sauce so what are we waiting 45 minutes? this food is the same thing they've been doing at Kowloon for YEARS, HOW is it so bad?? the bartenders were very friendly and did a great job though. i know they just opened, but they need to do better.. the food was absolutely gross. and WAY overpriced.

    Fried rice. Again looked so much more red in natural lighting

The staff at every location are friendly (shocking...I know) but these Back Bay servers don't mess around. They get you in fed and out all without ever feeling rushed. Definitely recommend the NH egg scramble - so good, but you really can't go wrong on the menu.

    TL;DR: Smelled like dirty water, sat us at a dirty table, food was not impressive, drinks were…read morewatered down with odd flavors, honestly don't know why there were so many people in there. Won't go back. Wish I had pictures, sorry. I wasn't thinking about a review. After a 15/20 minute wait, in an effort to seat us quickly, they sat us at a table that was wet, with water, and sticky from what was presumably the last table's syrup. There were 2 open, used, nips of syrup on the table that they hadn't seen or bothering to pick up. The ambiance/decor was very confusing, a lot of colors and patterns. It wasn't quirky (I've been to quirky done well), it was bordering on scatterbrained? I joked that the place was meant to be visually confusing so that you wouldn't see the lack of cleanliness. We asked for napkins to wipe our table and we were given napkins to clean it ourselves. I mean sure it was what we had asked for but when I asked in the past, someone came over with a rag and cleaner and cleaned it for us so I was a little underwhelmed with that one. Also, the table was visibly not ready because my partner noticed some hesitation in the guy before he sat us and instead of saying, "wait let me get someone to clean it for you" he sat us anyway. The entire placed smelled like a mix of dirty water and wet dog. In all fairness we should've gotten up and walked out but the restaurant was packed, so we were assuming the food must be good and we were hungry. The first two appetizer plates were got were dirty and my boyfriend's silverware. We asked for new ones. The second two were also not exactly clean but not as bad as the first. We opted to eat our appetizer from the plate it came on. We ordered the Some Like it Tot. It was cool, nothing to write home about. Expected it to be more crunchy (they are tater tots after all). I ordered the mimosa flight. Only one of the drinks had any semblance of alcohol in it. They were... oddly not good? Like not bad, but not great. The flavors on the menu sounded like they should've been great together but what served me was disappointing. I got the cookie monster pancakes. Maybe 2 stars. Very mid and uninspired. Unimpressed. The pancakes were middle of the road. Not great not bed. Best thing about this place were the nips of maple syrup. My boyfriend ordered the Monster breakfast. Also mid. The home fries were not well seasoned. Will not be returning. I'm assuming they need to pay their staff better or hire ones who care or can cook. Our server was kind though.

Let's talk about what we ordered: The goat pâté had a perfectly flaky crust, and the meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The mac and cheese was creamy, rich, and packed with flavor.The oxtail pasta was cooked to perfection and bursting with bold, savory flavor.The Haitian style griot with pikliz tasted like somebody's auntie or mama made it. That's how you know it's GOOD! Chef Valentine, thank you for sharing your gift and your kindness with us. It was such a pleasure chatting with you and learning more about your journey and everything you're building. You're incredibly talented, and it shows in every plate. And can we give a shout out to our waiter, Xavier? TOP TIER! He knew the menu inside and out, handled all of my little isms and skisms without missing a beat, and was attentive from beginning to end. The hospitality was unmatched. The entire @wink_and_nod experience was beautiful. The speakeasy is chic, the atmosphere is a vibe, the bathrooms were spotless, and the service was exceptional. Chef Valentine is currently the resident chef, and I'm hoping they keep him there for a long time because he's definitely worth the visit. Y'all, JUST GO! Tell them Leah sent you! And don't forget to follow his business page @blkcateatery. #LeahApproved
