    I was torn between choosing Tiki on 18th vs. another spot for dinner, and I'm slightly disappointed that I went with Tiki. Though the vibes of the restaurant and surrounding area were fun, the actual service, drinks, and food were lackluster. Drinks: - Pandan Painkiller (4/5): Good pandan flavor but a bit too sweet, was disappointed it didn't come in a tiki glass - Espresso Martini (1/5): Tasted watered down and off Food: - Calamares (5/5): Great crunch & flavor- was a hit at our table - Buko Shrimp (3/5): Flavor and texture could have been more prominent but I always enjoy coconut shrimp - Spicy Pork Sisig (3/5): Usually my favorite Filipino food, this dish lacked the usual crunch and depth of flavor - Salmon Curry (4/5): Overall tasty - Garlic Rice (3/5): Thought this would be sinangag (fried rice) but it was mostly steamed white rice with the suggestion of garlic flavor This might be a good spot to go when everyone's already warmed up for the night after dinner, but wouldn't be the place to be for the main event. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 3/5 - Service: 3/5

    Decided to try Tiki on 18th. Host is outside and he'll lead you to the dining area. It's a lit vibe. Service was ok but felt a bit off with the waitress. A different waiter almost brought our food to the wrong table. Probably one of the worst espresso martinis I've ever had. Had a friend try a sip and she agreed. Pandan Painkiller was a better cocktail but a bit too sweet. Food was not memorable either. Only enjoyed the buko shrimp and calamari. Salmon curry was ok. Not crazy about the mumbo wings; flavor could be more savory. Garlic rice did not have any taste and rice was hard to chew. Spicy pork sisig was not my type of dish (worth trying once). Automatic 20% tip regardless of party size. I probably wouldn't dine here again if I'm ever in the DC area.

    Really good tiki bar. We got two drinks. I got one with coconut in it. I'm always afraid that tiki drinks are going to be too sweet, but it was just faint and delicious. That drink was called Trade Winds, and the staff was really friendly. We'd for sure come back.

    First, we really appreciate the restaurant for being so accommodating. We had a last minute add-on and there were no issues with seating everyone. FOOD IS SOOOOO DELICIOUS! The veggie pancit was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavors. Chicken sisig was savory, sizzling, and irresistibly bold -- a Filipino comfort food classic with serious personality. Each bite was a perfect balance -- smoky, salty, tangy, and spicy! COCKTAILS - creative and quality! Can't wait to come back to try them all. The restaurant has a cool yet hip vibe. Dark with great music, not too intimate but also good for families. Bonus - very clean bathrooms!

    We tried this place on the Restaurant Week for $40, and I personally think that the food is delicious and a good portion. The main course is a decent serving and can fill two ppl. I really love the dessert options. The turones and sweet saba were both really yummy and hits the spot. This is one of the Filipino restaurants that reminds me of what home cooked meal tastes like. The barista/owner? is also very nice and accommodating. The place is cozy and decorations are very artistic.

    Continuing our tradition of decompressing at tiki bars, we saw that several recommended tiki bars in DC have closed in the past few years and headed to Tiki on 18th. All of the drinks on the menu (classic and bar-specific tiki drinks) looked like a good time and we enjoyed the ones we ordered. The vibe was chill on a Thursday night, the service was a bit slow (maybe because it was towards the end of their open hours), and the venue had a live DJ playing vintage and nautical mixes.

    I visited Tiki on18th about a year ago while in Adams Morgan, Washington D.C., and it's been living rent-free in my head ever since. Being in California, I can't just pop over there again, but honestly, it's so good that it's worth the shout-out even a year later. They have this fun Tiki bar vibe that's totally Instagram-worthy. We're talking cocktails served in mini bathtubs and coconut milk cans. And trust me, the drinks don't just look good, they hit that perfect spot where the table gets louder and happier with every round. On the food side, they do these incredible Filipino dishes that still have me drooling when I think about them. Their pancit canton was perfectly balanced, salty, citrusy, with just the right crunch of veggies. Their lumpiang shanghai was crispy perfection, and the spicy chicken sisig, omg, I can still taste that crispy, citrusy goodness topped with an egg. It's the kind of dish you crave long after you leave. My favorite thing was their bagoong fried rice, it is rice with shrimp paste and topped with crispy pork belly and a mango salsa, it was the perfect mix of flavors and I really wish I could have some right now! They've got some menu staples and some rotating dishes, so there's always a reason to go back and try something new. And for my kids they had burgers and my daughter still says it's the best burger she's ever had. That's saying a lot! Their ube cheesecake is a dream. It's not too sweet, has this perfectly smooth texture and a crust that's just the right amount of crumbly. The halo-halo is the ultimate refreshing treat on a hot day. Basically, whether you're there for a girls' night, guys' night, or a family dinner, you're going to have an amazing time. And I have to shout out Jojo, the owner, who's incredibly welcoming and really makes you feel at home. I only wish we had one of these in California! If you're in D.C., do yourself a favor and go. You won't be disappointed.

    Still loving this place so much! The Christmas/holiday menu rocks as always. Great drinks, reasonable prices. The hot cocoa with rum and the "snickerdoodle" were both great. The "milk and cookies" was also enjoyable! We had great service and so much fun. The place is now Tiki throughout and no more sports bar. The downstairs is fully renovated with a chill vibe.

    This is a chill little spot that we decided to go to after a drag brunch. The weather was nice and their patio looked great. There were several tables and had happy hour on a weekend. Although the place was empty we really didn't see our server too many times, it wasn't totally big of a deal until we wanted to order more drinks and then we're waiting for said drinks. When we finally got them, mine was actually the wrong drink. To avoid the hassle i just kept it since it tasted fine. Overall it was a chill spot i would go back to for a good patio spot.

    We just happened to come up on this place the night of the commanders playoff game and glad me made it before it got real busy. We walked in and it was packed with the commanders fans all bundled up in their gear. We just lucked up on a 3-chair table top and sat down. We all got another round of drinks and ordered more food. One friends ordered a burger and fries, the other some wings, and my greedy always hungry self ordered the sizzling chopped up chicken thighs and a side or garlic rice! OMG Batman! It was the business you hear me! Came out like sizzling fajitas on the player and the picture shows. I goggled it up like it was my last meal. So wish I would have took one to go...but it was getting late and the fans were piling in so after we finished our meals we dipped. Cute little DC bar with door major great food options!

    COOLEST DRINKS EVER!!!! Checked out Tiki on 18th with my cousin and we had a blast! They have a pretty cool cocktail hour and ever cooler glasses that your drinks come in. Somewhere between the bar and my table I met JoJo, the owner, and he said we had to check out the newly renovated basement. And that's exactly what we did. It was a pretty cool tropical vibe with a huge bar wall filled with liquor. I took about 100 photos. The space is beautiful, the food was delicious and the drinks were great, I especially loved that they had mocktails so I could enjoy as well. Our wait staff was super sweet, everyone had a great night. Can't wait to go back! Cocktail Hour: Mon - Fri 5pm - 7pm Sat 3pm - 6pm All Day Sunday Here's what we ate: Spam Sliders Pork lumpia Drinks: Nitro Rum Barrel Hurricane Pina Colada Bubbly Bath One Love DC There's a parking garage literally behind the restaurant you don't have to walk far at all.

    Great service. Good vibe. Strong cocktails. It's not an "authentic" Filipino restaurant, but it's wonderful as Filipino fusion restaurant/bar/gastropub.

    Grabbed another restaurant week deal here. My first time going here. They have outside street seating and an upper and lower level inside seating. It's somewhat of a small restaurant, but, has ample seating. The service was spot on, no issues. As far as the meal. The temperature was spot on, freshly prepared. The size of the portions were really good for the price, the flavor of the dishes needs to be kicked up a little, kinda missing that wow factor. The Beef Pares had very tender chunks of meat, I think it would have been a little with stir-fry garlic rice, but still good. The Pansit had some amazing crispy pieces pork in it, the appetizers were good, the Maruya needed some honey drizzle on it and you couldn't taste the bananas. Overall it was a good experience and I would go back again. Try it out.

    We tried to come here but after trying to find parking for 30 min we gave up. Any hints on where to park around here?

    Yes there is a parking garage down the alley next to our building. It’s open

    After a certain time is there an age restriction?

    It is a bar (that serves food)- I would assume there is an age restriction/ but call first

The dish seriously lacked flavor, and the egg wasn't properly broken up or incorporated into the noodles. Instead, there were basically two large chunks of egg in the dish. I also specifically asked for extra sauce and was willing to pay for it, but they very clearly did not add any extra sauce. I ended up throwing it away after only a few bites. I will say the rocket shrimp rolls were very good, and the sauce that came with them was also really good. They were easily the best part of the meal. That said, Pad See Ew is a pretty standard Thai dish and something most Thai restaurants easily nail, so I was surprised by how disappointing this was. Overall, definitely not a good experience and not somewhere I'd order from again.

They were crispy on the outside, but the inside was close to hollow, so you don't get the experience that you expect with a traditional beignet.
