I have been to the Mai Kai just once during the Hukilau 2003 event and I am a veteran of the long gone Kahiki and I can tell you that the Mai Kai wins hands down. The Kahiki used to have a walk through garden area like the Mai Kai but it was torn down many many years ago to expand the parking lot. The Mai Kai's walk through garden was just spectacular. Waterfalls, tropical plants and a huge tiki count. The 2 things that I really did enjoy at the Kahiki was the fish tank rooms, where the tables actually had fish that swam by your table, and the bathrooms. Nothing can touch the Kahiki's bathrooms where water ran from the tikis mouth into a large clam shell bowl. Other than that, the Mai Kai is the best Polynesian Restaurant left on this grand of scale, so lets take care of it and enjoy it.
