Tiki Bar, Solomons

Thank you.

And in all fairness, that used to be a bar waaaaayyyyy back in the day. It was Castaways (aka Blastaways) when I moved here in 1990.

Wasn't it also a Chinese restaurant?

But, no, that was not the Tiki. You can still see the Tiki sign in the background on the other structure.

China Harbor went in after Castaways, I believe. It moved to the shopping center by 7-11 quite a few years ago.

Good riddance to the Tiki Bar! All it turned into lately was a pathetic shack populated by 40 and 50 year old power drinking children! That place used to be fun back in the day.

R.I.P Tiki Bar :yay:

Yep, that's it. I ate there once, before they moved. I got their whole fried fish with head still attached. It was really good.

Not anymore. We went last year and we were petty unimpressed. Maybe if I had shouted HASHI it could have been better?

LOL. Maybe.

I never went after that first time. I don't know why, because the food and service was good. This was like late '90's or early 2-00's. Maybe they were still new and cared.

Maybe Yvonne was still running it. I'm not sure she is still involved.

Unless it's like the place some friends brought me to in Saint Louis that catered to Japanese business men or the place in LA my cousin brought me to that was so Japanese you needed a translator to order, will likely not try it.

I have spent time in Tokyo, Misawa, and Osaka and ate an awful lot of sushi. Most sushi restaurants here in the US with a real sushi chef (not an all you can eat chinese buffet that makes sushi) are close enough. About the biggest difference is that they use real wasabi in Japan instead of dyed horseradish paste and they have more esoteric options (unless you really like sea urchin or whale or bluefin tuna fat [yes just the fat]).
