Tuna poke, avocado, crispy shallots - 2 J's comment > not bad; tuna and avocado fresh; loved the nori chips - really crisp and doesn't melt under moisture; shallots not very crispy though |

FYI, Kanaka is affiliated with and share kitchen space w Blacktail Florist. Kanaka is below street level, and Blacktail Florist is above. After having found the entrance on Water Street to Blacktail Florist previously, it was much easier locating Kanaka. If you haven't been to either before, it is literally 'hidden in plain sight'.
Other than the decor, I'm not exactly convinced the food is 'tiki' as advertised (I imagined something more Polynesian / Hawaiian as tiki's origins are Polynesian), but then again, tiki bars aren't known for food, but for their drinks.
