If you are a real Tikiphile, DON'T BOTHER
I was in the area, and stopped in at about 5 pm, for a Happy Hour cocktail.
Bartender only made NEON Rum punch Mai Tais , could not make a Traditional '44 Mai Tai , and had NO IDEA what Orgeat was.
This is a '70's Hawaiian Beach bar taken over by a Sushi restaurant, but NOT a TIKI Bar

I got to visit this place last spring...and I was pleasantly delighted and surprised. Wow! This place is cool.

Primarily a restaurant and sushi bar, there is a cocktail bar in the back serving up tiki goodness. As I write this, it is 12:48 am and I am wiped out. I need to get to bed. If you'd like to know more about Ohana's and see photos (and take a gander at other Seattle tiki locations), you can check out my blog. The link is below:

I will say that i enjoyed Ohana's and, if I am ever in the area again with the time to do so, i would gladly return and tiki (and sushi) it up again.

CHEERS!

Came for lunch. Food was great, drink was okay. Reggae didn’t ruin the vibe. Servers were nice and attentive. Tiki-wise, lots of fun but nothing to bowl you over. If I lived here, I’d be back often.

I have a hard time classifying this place as a “good” tiki bar. All the drinks were similar and most of them were based off the exact same rum. The waitress even admitted they use Hawaiian Punch in their drinks. Of the 5 of us ordering alcoholic drinks, none of us were impressed with what we were brought.

The decor wasn’t terrible... It’s bordering on the kitschy Party City stuff, complete with a “Tiki Bar” sign, though.

We did all enjoy our dinner selections, so they have decent food.

It was down a few blocks at Navy Strength that we found excellent tiki drinks. If you’re in Seattle and in need of tiki, go there instead of ‘Ohana. (They’re 21 and over only, so you can’t take your kids.)

I am sure that the food is lovely and there seems to be quite a selection of Sushi...but that is all.

This is a Sushi restaurant that is attempting to capitalize off the resurgence and growing popularity of Tiki Culture. There only seemed to be three "Tiki"drinks and those were sensationalized mai tai's.

Being a 2 minute walk from the Lava Lounge you can hit 2 spots in quick succession for a quick drink at each. The Sushi bar element takes away but it's a great place. I didn't get to sit at the bar which might have detracted. Didn't eat food. Blue Hawaiian was alright!

There are a few tiki options, but the drinks were not so hot. This is artificial bar syrup mix sort of stuff. I would stick with the Blue Hawaiian only.

The food, on the other hand, is good stuff.

So what's the catch? This place is in an increasingly trendy bar district... which means that it's looking to draw in 20-somethings who want a beer and some loud music.

Visit only if you are REALLY in need of tiki.

went there on a recent trip to Seattle lots of bamboo and rattan food looked good didnt eat though. The drink selection is ok at best tropical martinis are not tiki drinks in my opinion there was many of those to choose from an frozen drinks and a handful of "classic" tiki drinks. No where i would make a trip out of going to but if your in seattle in Belltown and need a tiki fix it will hold you over.

We made a stop at 'Ohana while spending a couple days in Seattle, and while I wouldn't go out of my way to check it out, it's a nice enough place to get a drink if you're in the area. It's kind of a combination of a tiki bar and a beach bar (some unfortunate Margaritaville vibes from life preservers, etc. hanging from the ceiling) - not very high on pure tikiness, but tastefully decorated (bamboo booths, a large island scene painted on one wall) with a nice-looking but too-small (in my opinion) thatched bar.

Relatively small drink selection (with a few frozen drinks, which my tiki-visiting companion appreciated); drinks were expensive and just ok. The service was friendly, however, and we did have a dynamite Bananas Foster for dessert.

I would have liked to check out the scene on a less busy night ... we were there on a Friday, and everything was bright and noisy, with a DJ and quite a few people dancing. I think (as with my 'home' tiki bar) this may be a place that's better visited on a weeknight or right after work, if you want to avoid the party atmosphere.

Still, it's a good-looking place and worth a stop if you're in Belltown.

The owner is bona-fide Hawaiian, and "it shows!" There are notable decore items on display that make for cool items of interest once you know their significance. Like the shiny teapot that was his grandmother's, displayed next to an electric green tiki. Or the portait of his grandparents over the lava lamp, or the wall-sized blowup of his grandfathers prize marlin catch that dominates one wall. What's the deal, you ask? OHANA is Hawaiian for "family." It all ties together...it may be the adorable 4 year-old daughter of the manager who brings you the menu. She's polite and experienced at service.

You can drink excellent drinks in cozy, decorated booths, or you can sit under the palm thatched bar and watch the TV in the corner hanging in fish net.
