Huki Lau was a restaurant in Metairie's "Fat City" area with Chinese food and Polynesian decor, including a 16' high waterfall.

It operated till November 1974, when Lorraine Lee and new partner Roy Walker rebranded the place as the Huki Lau Supper Club, with food prepared and brought in from the Imperial Palace, a Chinese restaurant in Metairie that Lee and Walker (who later married) also owned.

The club and restaurant were destroyed by fire in January 1977, and then-Jefferson Parish Fire Chief James O’Neill told the Times-Picayune that burglary and arson were suspected.

YKH Consulting, LLC is now in this location.

This short-lived restaurant opened in October 2008 and closed just a year later. There is no connection between this restaurant and Beverly Hills' famous The Luau, created by Steve Crane in the 1950s although the Steve Crane signature tiki was represented in a framed painting and a small carved version was prominent in the front of the restaurant.

Bamboo Ben was hired to do the decor, particularly the pufferfish lights, but they restrained him from going all-out.

Rather than the nod to historic Polynesian Pop that the name choice might suggest, this upscale restaurant was sleek and more Asian than Polynesian in design (with carved Gyan Mudra Yogic Buddha's Hands all over the restaurant and as their logo).

However, the drink menu had some classic tiki drinks, and was developed with input from Beachbum Berry.

The Clipper Room and Porthole Lounge was part of the Cadillac Sands Resort. In its first incarnation, this was the Aku Aku. The restaurant made the switch to a new name and more nautical theme in the 1970s, but the resort recently underwent a major renovation, and their new dining concept (announced circa 2021) is "The Sultan's Table".

The Aku Aku bar and restaurant offered "Poolside Dining" at the Cadillac Sands Resort (built in 1961). Tiki designs on the menu appear to have been lifted from a menu from the Tahitian Lanai in Waikiki -- it's unlikely there's any connection beyond an inspiration.

Aku Aku is gone, but the Cadillac Sands remains, now known as the Lake Cadillac Resort. The space retained at least some of its theming in its later incarnation as the Clipper Room and Porthole Lounge but the resort recently underwent a major renovation, and their new dining concept (announced circa 2021) is "The Sultan's Table".

Formerly the Okoboji Inn.

Tiki Torch Restaurant and Bar was short-lived: it opened in the summer of 2008, and was gone by January of the next year. It served burgers and tropical cocktails. Scooter riders got happy hour prices all the time.

This site was home to Providence Tavern (later just "Providence") from 2019 - 2024.

Kona opened in 2007 in the space that had been Sam's Seafood for decades. Much of the decor was retained and refreshed, with improvements being made most notably in the quality of the food offering and some softened lighting. They adapted the exterior Sam's swordfish sign by changing the lettering.

Kona had several dining rooms with slightly different decor. The "Hidden Village" back rooms were available for special events, and had the most elaborate Polynesian theming, with huts, a fountain, and a bar. The dining room at the front had painted murals and a fountain.

In 2009, Kona closed and reopened under new ownership as Don the Beachcomber (no connection to the historic chain). Don's closed in 2018.

Shipwreck Tavern is a nautically-themed restaurant that opened in the fall of 2006. In summer 2007, they added a "Tiki Bar and Cafe" that includes an outdoor seating area with tiki poles and masks. Shipwreck Tavern is owned and operated by the same outfit that owns the pirate-themed Bayville Adventure Park next door, and also the Jekyll & Hyde Club in New York City.

Tiki Lounge and Bar was a tiki bar in the Melbourne area. It was created in 2006 by David Backler and Dianne Heywood-Smith, as part of their dance studio. There was a focus on fresh, quality ingredients and traditional tiki cocktails, directed by barman Kevin Clark, a.k.a. "Cocktail Kev." As the bar was connected to a dance studio, tango dance lessons were on offer, and the bar hosted an eclectic array of entertainment.

Closed as of August 2016.

Restaurant in a small town in New York state, next to a driving range.

The Beachcomber was a restaurant on the historic Malibu Pier. The restaurant itself was not tiki but rather was designed to look like a 1930s restaurant. However the restaurant's bar, the Malibu Pier Club, had a special nook with a round table that seated about ten available for special reservations. This nook was called the Tonga Lei Room, and it was decked out as a tribute to the Tonga Lei restaurant, which was located across the street.

The bar and restaurant opened in 2008, and for the Tonga Lei Room the owners enlisted the assistance of Bamboo Ben, Tiki Farm and Tiki-Ray to help deck the place out. The Beachcomber closed in 2012.

This Trader Vic's is in the Regency Palace Hotel, near the Sports City area of Amman. It opened in late 2007.

This new-style Trader Vic's opened in late 2007 in the Planet Hollywood Casino (formerly the Aladdin), right across from the Bellagio fountains. The space sprawled over two floors and 11,000 square feet, leading to a much more plain and dull interior than is expected at a Trader Vic's. The management there tried to appeal to the young club crowd by catering more to the ultra-lounge, vodka-bottle aesthetic than an actual old-school crafted-drink lounge.

After struggling for two years, this Trader Vic's location closed in late 2009. The location is now a Cabo Wabo Cantina.
