"We are not a tiki bar and don't consider ourselves a tiki bar. We are a Polynesian venue," said managing partner Bill Fuller. "Our goal has been to honor and preserve the rich culture and traditions that the Mai-Kai has celebrated over the last 50 years. Every detail is authentic and tells a story that is respectful and appreciative of these traditions."
Working with Cultural Arts & Entertainment Director Teuruhei Buchin, the venue aims to celebrate rather than appropriate Pacific Island traditions. The twice-nightly performances showcase traditional music and dance that tell stories from various island cultures, with performers representing Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
The menu at Mai-Kai showcases Polynesian cuisine, blending longtime classics with new dishes inspired by Southeast Asian flavors. Classic dishes like the Mai-Kai Pupu Platter, with Shanghai chicken, crispy pork and snow crab egg rolls, cheese tangs, and crab Rangoon, return alongside barbecue ribs, Peking duck, and Shanghai chicken.
