Oakhana Night at The Kon-Tiki Featuring New Hits
Made it back to The Kon-Tiki to partake in the Wednesday Ohana night. Always fun to see the Oakland Oahana regulars and the efficient and friendly Kon-Tiki crew. We tried a couple new things. While Mrs. Mai Tai had the legendary Kon-Tiki Burger with fries, I tried the Shrimp Tacos that I’d never seen on the menu before. I was so glad I did because they were totally fabulous, so fresh with pico and jack cheese. I’m not sure if these will stick around but I’d encourage anyone to try them.

Something special. Ike’s signature flavor profiles and cheekily suggestive sandwich names...
