    We had a wonderful experience again at the Tonga Room. We love the menu and the service was fantastic!! Our family was celebrating our mom’s 91st birthday. Tonga Room is a great place to celebrate any special occasion.

    First time patron at the Tonga Room, and couldn’t be more disappointed… No swizzle sticks, no backscratcher in the Tropical Itch, $25 sliders (2 no Mac salad), and as the garnish, $15 per person for the “entertainment”, which is a soft rock cover band… 6 days a week 70s-90s cover band not tiki at all. If you want a tiki experience maybe try before 7pm when the band starts. Sold out of mugs too. Had high hopes but totally disappointed.

    Cocktails were good, especially the Zombie. The korean kalbi beef short rib appetizer was disgusting.

    We had a great time at the Fairmont Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar in San Francisco! The tropical theme was spot on—fun, immersive, and full of character. Drinks were strong and well-crafted, food was tasty, and the service was warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a lively, themed experience in the city.

    The Tonga Room was a huge disappointment. The food was not good and severely overpriced — you're paying premium prices for something that tastes like a cafeteria meal. Drinks were just as overpriced and underwhelming. While the service was friendly and the live music was genuinely enjoyable, it's frustrating that the one redeemable part of the night — the music — comes with a cover charge. It just highlights how much you're spending overall for such low value. Between the subpar food, inflated prices, and added fees, I can’t recommend going. Not worth it.

    Extremely overpriced. I haven’t been to Tonga for over five years and prices definitely went up while quality of the drinks didn’t. $25 / cocktail is quite a lot even for SF. They also charge an additional cover fee for live entertainment.
