We were very disappointed with this show. Although the food was good, it was limited and there was an upcharge for the expanded menu. Our table had poor visibility to the stage and the show was boring and redundant. Better to spend your money on a nice meal elsewhere.

The performers were fantastic we were amazed at their talent and their smiles were heart warming, even through all that 'exercise'. Go on the self tour it is spectacular ...the waterfalls and gods and greens are perfect for picture taking. The meal was huge and we took lots home for lunch the next day...enjoy

This dinner and show was excellent. The food was fantastic as were the employees and the price was well worth it. The show was very entertaining altho maybe a bit loud. I would recommend this dinner show to anyone visiting in the area.

This place is family-friendly and children-friendly. The best part about this location is the entertainment. The entertainment was only one hour long. They gave a short history of the Polynesian culture and gave a short Polynesian dance and fire show as part of their entertainment. The location served various types of chinese foods and chinese meals and desserts at this location. My favorite meal was the fried calamari and the fried chinese rice. Their non-alcoholic pina coladas was delicious in my mouth.

The overall experience was nice. The show was very enjoyable. I did however notice that customers that used a voucher were treated differently than the rest. For example, there seemed to be a specific area for voucher users to be seated not a good view of the show and they were not accommodating. The food was ok. Nothing to brag about. What I absolutely did love was the garden and the show.
Review by: Timsmom5, October 2017
Excellent service and enjoyed dinner and show. Be sure to take the time to walk the gardens.
Review by: John B, August 2017
A rip off. They upsell everything and charge way too much for cocktails. The show was so so...and the food was just that ...food..
Review by: rstroh01, August 2017
Waste of money. They sat us so far in the back we could not see the show. We asked to move and they put us further to the back. Great disappointment.
Review by: cristina c, August 2017
The pre-set menu doesnt have much variety. the drinks are expensive and really not that good. I got a virgin pina colada and regular pina colada. It was with a lot of ice cubes and kind of watery and the regular pina colada was double the price than the virgin which i found crazy

Great experience. Beware of cost upgrades on the menu. Honored the Viator voucher but came with limited menu.
Review by: Frank R, July 2017
Let me start by saying that the rating is low for reasons other than the food, and the show. The food was good, and the show really was pretty good. The problem is that when we got there, they had us waiting around for 45 minutes, and made us feel second rate for having the tickets pre-purchased. And when we were finally seated, they gave us menus, and then took them back and handed us different ones, stating that the tickets we bought only came with the limited menu. After a lot of intense conversation, it seems that the full menu was 6 dollars more per person. Did they ask me to pay the difference? No they did not, they just shoved a contract for the tickets we had in our face. The whole thing became a pain in the butt. I f you read the menu online, and read the reviews, and get there and stuff is different, it's off putting! I really don't know who is at fault, Viator or Mai Kai...... I had a party of 5 that night, and I really don't know if I'll ever go back or even recommend it to anyone!

Review by: shellywarder, March 2017
This was a great experience! We walked through the beautiful gardens while waiting for our table. Our server was great and very attentive. Everyone enjoyed their food. And the show was great! Very talented dancers and very entertaining. I would definitely go back again.

A pleasant night out not too taxing nice location show lasts about an hour the food was surprising good for a show/dinner would have liked and been happy to pay for a better selection of desert ._br/_ very nice gardens to stroll around after dinner the bar could do with better lighting as you can't read the menu its so atmospherically _br/_ illuminated had to use my phone to see what was on offer

This was a great experience!Goodfood and stellar entertainment by a group of enthusiastic young entertainers!
Review by: Memavicky, December 2016
Choice of about fifty exotic drinks,one more interesting than the next.Our food was brought quickly,and between the entree and dessert we strolled in the garden,lit with flaming tiki torches!The music and dancing by the troupe was not to be believed,and the young men juggling the fiery batons were terrific!

The food was good the show was great. We differently will go again.
Review by: Richard K, September 2016
Pros: The food was good, the drinks were good, the show was good and the restaurant was decorated nicely._br/_ Con: Not every table has a good view of the stage. Some of the tables have poles blocking some of your view. We were first put at a poor viewing table. When we asked to change, they moved us to a better one, but it still had a partial blocked view.

Food was excellent. Service was good. Garden was nice, just felt rushed to take pictures. It was a neat experience, something a little different.

Review by: Wilfredo T, July 2016
the staff were wonderful
Review by: Eric M, July 2016
It was ok. I would not do it again. Food was average and the show was average. If you have nothing else to do its a nice place to go have an evening together. They charge you the same to valet your car or park at yourself so basically force you to valet it I didn and #39;t like that at all.

This is a fun place to go to celebrate and relax...great drinks and the food was so good! We had an excellent waitress and really enjoyed our dinner. Gardens are nice to walk around and take pictures._br/_ Laura Jean Hoff, Jacksonville, FL

The food was very delicious! The Polynesian dancers were just as good as those who we saw in Hawaii. The Botanical garden was small, but very nice.
Review by: Jessica F, June 2016
We had a great time!!! The show was absolutely amazing but our group was disappointed in the food. The food was not worth the money.

Review by: Dean B, March 2016
We truly enjoyed out dinner and the show! The food was good and it seemed as if all tables were in good view of the show!
Review by: ROSEMARIE K, March 2016
Absolutely fantastic! We've been to Hawaii six times and have been to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This show was like a mini version of the many islands of Polynesia.
Review by: Timothy J, March 2016
Mai Tia was worst I have ever drank. For 16 in a Polynesian restaurant, it should have tasted like something other than sweet and soured mixer. Food was ok. Performers were excellent.
Review by: Marina S, February 2016
We were not aware that the shows were only three times a day and had to wait for the show until 10pm with small children. Also we were not told that the menu offers quite a great verity instead we got stuck with the very limited menu we paid via viator.

It was great! Better than I expected.

Review by: LOUIS K, January 2016
Dinner show was good, we were seated far to the right of the stage, could not see the stage well. The sound system was poor. Charged for parking. Nice garden out side the dinning area.
Review by: Kathy C, August 2015
Good food, great show and service.
Review by: Pat M, August 2015
the facility was beautiful, the garden was breathtaking. the only complaint I had is that the commentator of the show did not speak clearly enough to understand her very well. other than that fabulous show and meal.
Review by: dana C, August 2015
Just as I remembered back in the 70's - same waiters they tell me too. The show is very good and gives me the urge to go to South Pacific. Food was good too! Recommend going to see -
Review by: lou gibson, August 2015
The atmosphere in the bar area alone was worth the trip - -_br/_
fantastic experience
