Virginia's Premier Tiki Bar & Thai Restaurant
Why Tiki? Why Thai?
But first, what is Tiki?
The easy answer….Tiki is the best way to summarize Polynesian culture with one word. The modern day tiki culture celebrates Polynesian traditions through exotically decorated bars and restaurants that aim to transport you into a tropical oasis.

We went the first time to Tiki Thai Restaurant. We had a reservation which was a good idea. The lace was packed for a Sunday evening. We seated right away. The server was very attentive. We had Healthy rolls as a shared appetizer which was really good. I order Kung Pao with chicken. It had the right touch of spiciness. Hubby ordered Cashew Chicken which was right at the point.
Overall we had a great experience. Only 4 stars because of the noise level

Very disappointing experience, especially after calling ahead to confirm dinner service.
On Saturday, we called at 10:30 PM and told the woman who answered that we expected to arrive at 10:42 PM. Although the restaurant is open until 2 AM, we specifically wanted to confirm that we could still order from the dinner menu. She assured us that as long as we arrived before 11 PM, we could. I even asked again to make sure, and she confirmed.
We were traveling from NYC to Virginia and went straight to the restaurant, arriving at 10:44 PM—16 minutes before the cutoff we had been given. However, the woman at the entrance told us dinner service was no longer available and that we could only sit at the bar and order from the bar menu.
When we explained the phone conversation, she said we had been given misinformation and suggested we had probably spoken to her manager. We asked to speak with the manager, but the manager who came out was a man, so that still did not explain who had assured us over the phone. He also declined to offer the dinner menu, and we left.
The issue is the clear assurance we received just minutes before arriving, followed by no effort to honor it. Had we been given accurate information, we would have made other plans.
I hope the owner addresses the communication between staff members. For anyone planning a late dinner here, be aware: in our experience, even calling ahead, confirming twice, and arriving before the stated cutoff did not guarantee dinner service.

We called for our party’s reservation and they made us one through Resy.
This is a really cute spot in Nova with awesome decor! Ahead of halloween, the restaurant decked out in festivities.
Food wise, great flavoring. Our favorites were crab dip, pad thai, drunken noodle and waygu fried rice. The fried rice was cooked in a stone pot so it was like eating delicious burnt rice. Super good!
Drink wise they are made well and decorated in the cutest cups. We wish the shark cup was offered year round!
Am was our waitress and she was attentive and super nice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Thai Dining Experience with Great Food & Ambience 🇹🇭✨
It was my first visit to this Thai restaurant, and I came here with my office colleagues. Since I had traveled from a different state to meet my friends and colleagues, they insisted that Tiki Thai was one restaurant I absolutely had to try. I’m glad I listened! 😊
🌸 Beautiful Ambience & Instagram-Worthy Entrance
The restaurant has such a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights is the adorable phone booth decorated with gorgeous pink flowers, giving it a lovely Thai-inspired touch. 🌸📸 It’s definitely a perfect photo spot, especially for girls who love clicking aesthetic pictures!
They also have outdoor seating if you enjoy dining outside, but we preferred the cozy indoor seating. They also have a bar, making it a nice place to relax with friends or colleagues.
🍽️ Delicious Food
We ordered:
🥢 Spring Rolls
🦐 Shrimp Rolls
🥢 Fried Tofu
🍜 Drunken Noodles
🥥 Thai Curry
🍍 Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
🥕 Vegetable Fried Rice
My absolute favorites were:
❤️ Drunken Noodles
❤️ Shrimp Rolls
❤️ Fried Tofu
❤️ Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
Everything was flavorful, but the Drunken Noodles easily stole the show! The Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice had the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
I also absolutely loved their tangy peanut chutney—it paired so well with the appetizers and added an extra burst of flavor. 😋
The Thai Curry tasted a little sweet initially, but after a few bites, the authentic spice gradually kicked in, making it enjoyable.
🚗 Parking
There is plenty of parking available, but during busy weekends it can fill up quickly. If that happens, there’s a nearby garage parking lot that’s convenient to use.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Overall, this was a wonderful first experience at Tiki Thai. From the beautiful ambience and friendly atmosphere to the delicious Thai food, it was a memorable visit. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or colleagues, this is definitely a place worth trying.

I ordered the beef Pad Thai with rolls combo set and it was incredible! You can really tell the food is made with fresh ingredients. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly.
To top it off, I had a drink that was not only really tasty but also nicely strong! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

After a long day trip we reached here tired and hungry. Quite enjoyed our dinner here. The tomyam soup was just about ok - not the best. But the massaman and yellow curries were good. So was the drunken noodles. We enjoyed the mongo sticky rice too. The restaurant had a good atmosphere and service was good

Great vibe with the tropical 🌴 decoration and nice music, space is a bit tight for bigger party (we had around 10), but great for like 2, 4 people groups. Food was good - overall a bit too sweet for my group, but good portion and some creativity with naming. Overall we enjoyed the meal there quite a bit. There is a parking lot on the other side of street and free for first few hours
