About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Charming
Kid-friendly

This tiki-themed pub overlooking the North Shore Lagoon swimming pool offers a menu like no other in Bothell. With cuisine and decor inspired by the South Seas, Caribbean and South America, Nui Nui is a restaurant, bar and island escape rolled into one. The bar houses more than 80 rums as well as a colorful cocktail menu to showcase them. Grab a seat on a bench made from a teak tree trunk pulled from a river in Bali, oil drum furniture from Indonesia or perch at a bar made of Balinese monkey pod tree.

We've visited The Anderson School for the whiskey bar (The Shed) & the theater. Nui Nui was our first dining experience there. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Great food (my Polynesian Ban Mi was delicious, porky & uncious). Eclectic decor added to the ambiance. I suggest you try it sometime. The Brothers have done it again 😃

The atmosphere was incredible if you like the Tiki theme. I got the Loco Moco and the spam and pineapple sliders, both were delicious! For drinks we ordered the Mermaid Spit and the Pain Killer, both were very heavy handed with the alcohol, which is great for most people. The pool was very warm and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Lagaoon and Nui Nui!!

The atmosphere was great if you like tiki bars. So eclectic and interesting. The food was so-so as was the price. The service from our waiter was great. The specialty drinks were good too.

Always a good time at Nui Nui! The drinks were amazing, and staff checked on us repeatedly. They accommodated 6 of us easily and split our check quite easily which was great.

super awesome staff. A quiet night though. Food was good but the salad could have been crisper and fresher. I would recommend this place. It kind of overlooks the salt water pool, which is a whole other cool thing, but you can't really see it when you sit down. The bar is very tikki and super nice. Its comfy all the way around.

Please review the menu prior to arriving. The food was good but not suited for children if you are family dining. Overlooking the swimming pool was interesting. I prefer the other restaurant on site.
