Opened in February 2019.

Huli Huli is a casual atmosphere tiki oasis in the northern Columbus suburbs.

Specializing in small plate, Pacific-inspired food, the cocktail menu is an extensive mix of cocktails ranging from early period classics to modern finds, peppered with house originals.

This location also features one of the original two Moai which were originally sculpted by Columbus artist and stonemason Philip E. Kientz to grace the legendary Kahiki restaurant. Huli Huli acquired the Kahiki Moai from John “Tiki Skip” Holt in 2023, and in April of 2024 conducted a fundraiser that generated $13,000 — enough to make the restoration a reality. Huli Huli’s contractor, designer Rick Huffman, worked painstakingly over the course of a year to make certain every detail was meticulously rebuilt to be as close a match as possible to the original. The Moai was rebuilt from the original rebar so it could proudly stand once more as guardian of Central Ohio’s tiki legacy.

A second Huli Huli opened on May 20th, 2026 in downtown Columbus on Mound Street.
