The Tonga Room MADE OUR WHOLE TRIP to San Francisco! The Thai Basil chicken was to die for and the live music set the mood perfectly for a night of dancing and fun! Our waiter was amazing, attentive, and tended to us as if we were the only table he was serving, even though that was definitely not the case! Tonga Room will be a new staple every time we visit San Francisco!

We celebrated my daughter’s 29th birthday! It was the first time for my adult children to go there. They enjoyed it so much! The entertainment was so GOOD!!! Service was top notch! We enjoyed our drinks and all our food!! Many people were singing and dancing! At the end of the entertainment, the whole audience chanted one more song one more song!We all said let us come back again! I had my 21st birthday there so many years ago. I enjoyed the Tonga room all over again. Highly recommend to celebrate!

Drinks were good, but pricey. Service was so so. Food was awful. Hurricane tenderloin was just spicy, no other taste to it. Seafood coconut tasted ok but the calamari was super chewy. Veggie duo said it had mushrooms, but there were 0 mushrooms. All the veggies were undercooked and no taste to them. Kalua pork was just awful, it came in a bowl of grease. The macaroni salad was terrible, no idea why they would serve it like that, it was so sour. We complained and all the manager did was take half off on our entrees that we did not eat. $730 was spent, I have no problem spending money on food, the other night we spent $350 at waterbar for 2 and $650 at Sundance for 4, just ridiculous how the manager handled it. Being in the restaurant industry myself, I was looking forward to this experience and heard the food was bad before going in, but still wanted to check it out. And you guys sure did live up to that word, even our waiter said he wouldn’t eat the food there after we paid the bill. You guys have to do better, it was so disappointing

I don't see why you need reservations, Saturday night and the place was half full. My advice before booking, PLEASE, take a look at the menu because the prices are just too high for what they offer. The food and service don’t match the cost, and I’d rather spend my money somewhere that provides better value. It’s simply not worth it when you leave feeling like you overpaid for a mediocre experience. They charge 15$ PER PERSON for entertainment if you are not staying in the hotel. My bill for 2 people was around $170. Save your money!

The Tonga Room has incredible ambience, music, and drinks, but it could be so much better if they improved the food a bit. My husband ordered the Kahlua Pork dinner, and it was just mushy and tasted processed. The mac salad was bland and unremarkable. My vegetable skewers were okay, but overpriced at 30 something for just vegetables and rice. I realize the prices are higher due to this being the "Tonga Room," but the food should then be on par with the price and uniqueness and this historical venue.

We travelled from the Uk and had my wife’s birthday here. I had rebooked a table after it being recommended by local colleagues. It was an absolutely amazing and memorable experience. My wife, family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little nervous it wouldn’t live up to expectations but the staff, servers, music and food were second to none. Tasty food and drinks alongside such a superb band in the unique surrounding. A truly exceptional experience and we all loved it. They made my wife’s birthday on to remember in such a unique setting.
