Lakanuki - Mammoth Lakes (CA)

5 /5 Octavio Solis: Its one of the only places that has a good dj. The other places seem to cater to older 50+ crowd. They will let you bring pizza from downstairs if their kitchen is closed..

4 /5 ZESTY ZESTY: Among Mammoth Village restaurants this place is a real find. Its got great atmosphere, the food is really fantastic and well priced. Not crowded on a Wednesday night but Im certain that during ski season or on weekends is packed to the gills. They had $9 Mai Tais which were equivalent to Maui quality. The chicken wings were fresh, spicy, moist and flavorful. But special shout-out to the mahi-mahi tacos, they were a really amazing with fresh papaya slaw and only a dollar extra for the very good French fries. Nelson the bartender took our order he was amazing, pleasant, courteous and took very good care of us. Next time in Mammoth Ill definitely be returning.

4 /5 Tom S: Fun atmosphere as a tiki bar in the mountains, good mai tai though made with fruit juices. Drinks were all very tasty. Tasty apps! Good service.

5 /5 JEFFREY OLSON: Didnt eat but drinks on point. Strawberry banana hammock was very tasty

3 /5 Caezar Ancayan: This tiki bar has an incredible ambiance—tropical, fun, and full of character. The décor, lighting, and overall vibe make it a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a laid-back night out. That said, the food was hit-or-miss. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken, and it was unfortunately underwhelming. The chicken tasted prepackaged, lacking freshness and texture. The curry itself had a nice level of spice, but the rice was overcooked and the pita on the side felt unnecessary—it didn’t really complement the dish and seemed like an odd addition. Surprisingly, the chicken nachos were the star of the meal. Flavorful, well-balanced, and definitely something I’d order again—in fact, I wish I’d had a plate to myself. A friend ordered the loco moco, and while they said the gravy was tasty, the rice again wasn’t cooked properly, which seemed to be a recurring issue. The drinks, however, were excellent. I had the Banana Sling and Piña Colada, and both were well-crafted—not overly sweet, with the right balance of flavor and alcohol. Easily one of the highlights of the visit. A few notes on service style: it’s self-seating, and you place your order at the cash register, which is fine, but not always clearly communicated. Also, if you want water, you need to specifically ask for a carafe, as it’s not automatically offered. All in all, this tiki bar is worth a visit for the atmosphere and drinks, and the nachos are definitely a win. With a little more attention to the food quality and service flow, it could be a top-tier spot.
