Well since this place was in my backyard
(I worked at the Licorice Pizza a few doors down, As the import buyer for the store)
I did go to it alot thru out the 70s & 80s
So I will put in my 2 cents.

The place did have alot of Bamboo decor, No tiki at all
They did serve classic Polynesian Cocktail's, I would take dates here so we could share a Scorpion bowl
in the 70s, The drinks where better then, but it depended on who was bartending, I liked the cocktails
from an old Asian man, I think was named Sam?

The food was pretty good too, The freeway extension you mentioned did not go past 19th Street
so the center where this was located was not affected by any construction, It was between 17th & 18th Streets on Newport Blvd.
Bottom line this was a classic Chinese Restaurant, But not Tiki.
