Description

Be lulled into a happy mood by the serenading ukulele player and the refreshing, faintly apple-cinnamony mai tais, just like everyone else in the place. If you're looking for the term to classify your fellow revelers-normal, everyday folks who dress up like tourists in their off-time and converge upon places like Don's for the pure escapism it brings-they're called tikiphiles, members of a not-so-hidden subculture who long to relive their tropical vacations past. As for the food, salads such as the Kona Chop are solid, as are appetizers such as the ahi poke tacos. The entrées can be hit-or-miss, but the Chilean sea bass is a good bet.

  • 2010 | Best Restaurant During an Invasion

    You never know when terrorists, Commies or zombies will make their way down PCH from Long Beach, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared to defend your way of life. Oh, you'll shoot them with your cherished firearms Well, what happens when you run out of ammo, smarty-pants You'd better hope you're in the re-creation of Don Beach's tiki paradise when it happens; you can pry his prized collection of South Seas daggers from the walls, do a Maori war cry and...

  • 2009 | Best Restaurant Décor

    This joint on Pacific Coast Highway is famous for its swordfish-shaped neon sign and entryway that resembles that of a South Pacific longhouse. It was once Sam's Seafood, and then it changed ownership and became Kona. Now, it's changed its name again. But the interior décor has remained constant, looking like something off a Bob Hope movie set in Honolulu circa 1959--pure Polynesian schmaltz down to the bamboo siding on the wall and the tiki mask hovering above the aptly...

    I missed the grand opening, but finally made it here last Sunday. I HIGHLY recommend the Missionary's Downfall and the Ahi Poke tacos- ESPECIALLY DURING HAPPY HOUR when appetizers and cocktails in the bar are are 50% OFF ( which is 4-7 DAILY) BE PATIENT though, good mixology TAKES TIME and believe me- it's WORTH it! :)
