This first Hula's Modern Tiki opened on Central Avenue in Phoenix in late 2009 and was re-located to uptown Phoenix in 2018. It came from the same minds behind the hit Hula's restaurants in Monterey and Santa Cruz. The concept with the Central location (and later iterations of the "Modern Tiki" concept) was a bit different -- while the Monterey and Santa Cruz locations have more of a surf-meets-tiki feel, the aesthetic here was a mix of midcentury modern and tiki.

The dominant feature of the space was a massive, hexagonal window that looked straight out of a '70s sci-fi film set (the building actually dated to 1965). The interiors were all sleek, but executed with a variety of organic materials to bring a sort of barely-primitive feel. The indoor area featured a large bar, and there was outdoor dining.

There was at least one large Tiki tOny tiki. Tiki mugs, especially from Munktiki, filled cases around the restaurant. Volcano bowl drinks were available, and drinks were served in glassware with the Hula's tiki logo. Like the other Hula's locations, it won rave reviews for its food.

The Central Avenue location is now currently home to a new restaurant called Persepshen as of October 2019.

In addition to the uptown Phoenix location since 2018, two other Hula's Modern locations have opened in Arizona: a Scottsdale location opened in early 2014 and a third location opened in High Street in 2020.

Tiki No is a bar in the San Fernando Valley; it had initial soft openings in October 2010 and opened a few weeks later in early November. The "No" in the name is a reference to it being in North Hollywood.

The interior is by Bamboo Ben. The building is at a corner, with lit tiki torches. The interior has several large, but cozy, upholstered booths with thatched roofs, and the walls are lined with lots of bamboo. The bar has several large tiki carvings. There is a small outdoor smoking patio, which is not heavily themed.

A small menu of tropical drinks are available, a mix of classics and their own creations, including some served in tiki mugs.

This location was opened March 21, 1981.

Tiki Tiki Shinjuku was an elaborate Polynesian-themed restaurant right in the bustling center of Shinjuku in Tokyo. There were multiple dining rooms, a large counter, and floor shows. Drinks were served in tiki mugs and available in exclusive Tiki Tiki mugs.

Some decor was provided by Oceanic Arts.

Appears to have closed September 6th, 2021, according to their Instagram account.

There is a sister location, Tiki Tiki Yokohama.

Tahiti Joe's opened in 2007 as the on-site restaurant for the Tahiti Village Resort & Spa. This restaurant was more heavily tiki than the surrounding resort, with some large, modern carvings, and more traditional carved wall pieces. It closed in May 2014.

Tahiti Village is a resort south of the Las Vegas Strip (near the airport). It opened in 2007.

This large resort has timeshared and hotel rooms, and originally had the Tahiti Joe's tiki-themed restaurant on-site (closed in 2014).

The Village's current (as of 2021) bar is 17° South Booze and Bites, which is only lightly tropically themed, but does offer a cocktail menu.

Cocktails are also available at their poolside bar, The Sand Box.

There were some large tikis that spit water in the resort's pool and lazy river area - but from recent reports, these may have been removed.

Every Sunday is a Mermaid show at the Main Pool from 11 am - 12 pm.

The resort offers a shuttle to the Strip.

The Banana Hut started out in 2004 as a simple fair-food shack selling banana fritters and ice cream. In 2009, owners Ken and Fatima Evans expanded into a full restaurant in downtown Eureka.

In 2011, they were able to purchase the remains of the interior of Chicago's Kona Kai, and planned to expand to add a tiki bar and banquet room.

The restaurant had plenty of thatch and a scattering of smaller tiki masks on the walls, with a bright and airy modern surf feel. The food was Hawaiian cuisine with all the plate lunch favorites, and tropical cocktails were available.

Closed in August 2020.

Opened in 1973.

This old school restaurant was also known by the names "Harbor House" (a previous name) and "Pete's Harbor" (the name of the harbor where the restaurant resides). The entry was flanked by two large, old wooden tikis that were a bit rotted and termite ridden, but were still gorgeous. The entry was covered by thatch, and the building had a nautical feel. The tiki apparently ended by the time you were inside, though.

The restaurant closed for good at the end of 2012, the property fated for redevelopment.

Lanai Hawaiian Food was a restaurant in the Auxiliadora neighborhood of Porto Alegre. It was opened by Sarah Wojahn in June 2010, and closed in January 2015. The space was sleek and modern, yet still warm thanks to careful lighting and a smattering of bamboo trim. Two large, pale, Hawaiian tikis overlooked the dining room. The food was upscale, modern Hawaiian.

Don the Beachcomber is located within the Royal Kona Resort, where it opened in 2005.

This location is not to be confused with the historic, long-gone Don the Beachcomber restaurants run by Donn Beach or his partner Sunny Sund, but rather was opened by someone who picked up the rights to the name here in the Hawaiian Islands. Mainland rights to the Don the Beachcomber name are currently held by the newer Don the Beachcomber chain (including Madeira Beach and others run by 23 Restaurant Services after they acquired the brand from Delia Snyder).

The bar and restaurant are open-air, overlooking the ocean, but sheltered by a large, round roof. The restaurant in particular is full of fantastic '70s-chic Tiki loveliness, thanks to architect George "Pete" Wimberly.

A vibraphonist can sometimes be found playing in the bar as the sun sets over the ocean.

Food is on the more upscale end of Kailua-Kona dining.

A very short-lived, modern reincarnation of the Don the Beachcomber chain, located on the grounds of the Royal Lahaina Resort. The space is mostly gutted, and is now used as an entry area for the resort's evening luau.

Opened in the mid 2000's (at least as early as 2006) and closed in 2007.

This bar and restaurant overlooking the ocean opened in downtown Lahaina in 2008. The decor was light on tiki, but they did offer a custom tiki mug for sale in the traditional three-face bucket style.

Mai Tai Lounge closed in 2013, and the location became Koa's Seaside Grill, which then became Koa 156º, and then closed as well. As of 2022 this site appears to be hosting a Del Sol sunglasses and clothing store.

Beach Bumz is a small store within a shopping center in Kihei, selling tourist items, including plenty of tiki mugs and other items of interest to the modern tikiphile. In the same shopping center as South Shore Tiki Lounge.
