Inside the stunning Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort, you’ll find Tiki Taka, another exciting restaurant from renowned chef and restaurateur Richard Blais. With its vibrant atmosphere, innovative dishes, and expertly crafted cocktails, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in bold flavors and a fun dining experience.


Elevated Cocktails & Unique Drinks

The drinks at Tiki Taka are truly next level, offering a mix of theatrical presentation and refined balance. You’ll find everything from sake flights and smoked Old Fashioneds to table-side sangrias transformed into sorbets, citrus smoke bubbles, and clarified cocktails. The creativity behind each drink makes the bar program one of the most exciting in town.


Tapas-Style Dining with Bold Flavors

The menu is designed around small plates, perfect for sharing and experiencing a variety of flavors. Some of my favorite bites included:

  • Crispy Rice – A satisfying crunch with fresh and vibrant toppings.
  • Spot Prawns – Delicately prepared and bursting with natural sweetness.
  • Okonomiyaki – A savory Japanese pancake that’s packed with umami.
  • Pork Belly – Served with a unique fish and apple caramel sauce that takes it to another level.
  • Sushi – Fresh, beautifully plated, and expertly crafted. I highly recommend the Tiki Taka Roll and Double Crunch Roll for a perfect combination of flavors and textures.


A Sweet Finish

No meal is complete without dessert, and Tiki Taka’s Kakigori is the perfect way to end the night. This shaved ice dessert is topped with mango sauce, sugared cream, and ube ice cream, making it as refreshing as it is indulgent.
