The initial reviews were positive. This is from the November 3, 1964 Denver Post. The Rocky Mountain News did a big writeup on the Tiki Kai's Chinese New Year feast on February 5, 1965. In 1966, the Tiki Kai opened the Kahuna Supper Club next door with a focus on entertainment. Over the years, the feature acts included Ernie Menehune & his Polynesian Review, the Eurasians, Doug Alii & the Hinanos, Sue Stevens & the Hi-Hats, the Tokyo Playmates, the Ink Spots, Louis Nonay and his Islander Combo, Arnie Derksen & Chise Seuzuki, and Tifili & the Samanos.
