Tiki's Tokyo brought the Honolulu institution Tiki's Grill and Bar to Japan when it opened at Yoyogi Park BE STAGE in Shibuya on April 25, 2025. It is the first Tiki's location outside Hawaii, a 160-seat room built around Pacific Rim cooking and a tropical cocktail list led by the 1944 Mai Tai. Aloha State Daily reported the launch as the Waikiki favourite's first overseas expansion.

The room
The room reads as a modern Hawaiian dining bar rather than a dim tiki den, with an open, daylight-friendly layout beside Yoyogi Park. The format pairs a full kitchen with a bar, so the cocktails arrive alongside plates rather than on their own. Tokyo Chase frames it as a Waikiki transplant tuned for a Shibuya crowd.
Yoyogi Park BE STAGE, the surrounding complex, sits on the western edge of Shibuya near the park and the NHK grounds. Tiki's holds a 160-seat Always Aloha dining room plus a 78-seat dog-friendly section with its own menu. That setting makes it an easy daytime-into-evening stop rather than a late-night bar.
What to order
The headline pour is the 1944 Mai Tai, the recipe Tiki's built its Honolulu name on, with rum, lime and orgeat. The wider list runs tropical and frozen drinks meant to sit with food rather than stand alone. Non-drinkers and the dog-friendly tables are covered by softer options and a separate menu for dogs.
The kitchen leans Pacific Rim, mixing Hawaiian and Japanese flavours across share plates. The order most in keeping with the room is a Mai Tai with a few plates as the light drops over the park. The pairing of island cocktails with a full meal is the point.
Who it is for
Tiki's Tokyo fits a group after Hawaiian food with tropical cocktails, a daytime drinker who wants an open room by the park, and dog owners looking for a table that welcomes them. Skip it for a hushed Ginza cocktail counter or a serious spirits flight, since this is a large, social dining bar. It rewards a table that comes to eat and drink together rather than chase technique.
Best time to go
An afternoon or early-evening visit catches the open room at its calmest, before the Shibuya dinner trade fills it. The dog-friendly section is the draw for owners, so a daytime seat suits a walk through Yoyogi Park. Weekends run busiest given the novelty of the first overseas Tiki's.
The park-side setting is best in daylight and at dusk, when the room is brightest. A weekday visit is the quieter way in, with more of the floor's attention on the Mai Tai pour. Booking is the safe call on weekends.
The detail worth knowing
The first-outside-Hawaii angle is the detail worth knowing, since Tiki's Grill and Bar had run only in Waikiki before the Shibuya opening. The CBS42 press release dated the launch to April 25, 2025, and Aloha State Daily covered it as the brand's debut in Japan. The 1944 Mai Tai carried over as the signature drink.
For Tokyo, it adds a genuine Hawaiian dining bar to a city better known for precise cocktail counters. The mix of a 160-seat aloha room and a dog-friendly section is unusual for the area. For island cocktails with a full Pacific Rim meal near Yoyogi Park, it is the new name to know.
The bottom line
Tiki's Tokyo is the first overseas branch of Honolulu's Tiki's Grill and Bar, an open Hawaiian dining bar at Yoyogi Park BE STAGE in Shibuya since April 2025. Come for the 1944 Mai Tai and Pacific Rim plates, bring the dog to the dedicated section, and time it for daylight by the park. It is a social dining bar rather than a cocktail counter, and the aloha format is the reason to go.
