Individual television screens in wooden cases were positioned at each table.

Tiki Port is a Chinese/Polynesian restaurant, it opened in 1977. The decor includes painted murals and beautiful Orchids of Hawaii style swag lamps, but the theming is more Chinese than Polynesian. It serves traditional Chinese/Polynesian favorites, including a flaming pu-pu platter.

Tiki Port has a slightly-more-Polynesian sister restaurant in Medford, Tiki Island.

Opened in 2002 (even though later signage says they were "established in 2004").

Tiki sports bar in Kirkland, just down the street from Mambo. It was a hodge-podge of Polynesian tiki & Margaritaville tiki, with some mod-Shag thrown in. Had karaoke nights, loud music, and TVs. Drinks were available in tiki mugs for regular customers.

Opened in 1964.

The red-and-tan interior boasted some Witco décor, Tiki masks, faux-tapa designs on paper, lots of bamboo, and hanging floats and lanterns. A 1964 Denver Post review praised the food and the “suffering things” (you can guess which cocktail the reviewer was hesitant to name). Ernie Menehune provided entertainment—when he wasn’t busy is Las Vegas. Ernie still played gigs in Arizona well into his 80’s.

Two waitresses (Elizabeth Madrid and Judith Finchum, both 23) were arrested on January 19, 1966, for waiting tables in lingerie, a gimmick that had been used in the Tiki Kai in Albuquerque for some time. Madrid was fined $100; owner Harry Jew said that business had doubled in the single week that the two girls had been working there. A former waitress named Pat tells us: “(in 1966) Harry was the owner, Gordon the manager, Lou the maître D, Linda the hostess, Mike the bartender, Speedy the backup bartender, Tommy Jung the chef. I left Tiki Kai when I married Tommy.”

In December 1969, the Tiki Kai became the China Town Restaurant. In 1971, the Denver-based Vegas show-band the Glass Menagerie purchased the building and renamed it the Islander. The Islander lasted until 1975, and then it became Herb Wong's New China restaurant (which still served Polynesian drinks in their Kahuna Cocktail Lounge) until being demolished in 1992.

Today this location is the SafeSplash Swim School.

There was another Tiki Kai Supper Club in Albuquerque.

*NOTE: The Islander at this location is not to be confused with the Tommy Wong's Island (circa. 1977 -1983) which was about 11 minutes South of this location. That Tommy Wong's location now appears (as of 2025) to be a parking lot adjacent a kosher deli.
