Reviews for Lakanuki in Mammoth Lakes, CA
Stopped in here for an afternoon cocktail. Drinks were great and staff were super welcoming. Damn near made us feel like locals!... We're definitely coming back on our next trip into the hills. Read more
Came for dinner. Ordered found a place to sit. Two large groups came in after us got their food before us. There reasoning was... the computer malfunctions caused it. Finally got our food didn?t offer anything in return for our long wait. We had to ask couldwe maybe get a round of drinks. The waitress was rude and allowed it. Poor service overall. Bartender was doing shots with thelocals. Waitress also eating and on her phone while supposedly working. Read more
Absolutely delicious!!! I got the Lepo Rice with chicken and a fresh drink to boot. I would eat here all the time if I lived... closer! Nice atmosphere and the food came out quickly and well done for the rest of my family too. Read more
We really enjoyed this place! Great vibes, friendly and helpful staff, great drinks and food. We would come again the next time... we visit the area. Be warned that the royal mai tai is super strong!!! How it works here, is you order at the bar, the staffmakes your drinks right away, and they give you a number to take to whatever table you want to sit at for them to bring yourfood to. You can keep a tab open for more drinks and stuff if you like. I ordered the chicken tenders which is advertised as 3strips but I got 5 1/2 strips, so they were very generous. It?s also advertised as coming with bbq sauce, but I got ranchinstead. That?s totally fine by me, I love both, but if you have a preference maybe request your preferred sauce when ordering.The garlic fries are delicious and very garlicky! And the staff was super kind. One of the workers saw me taking pictures of adecorative deep sea diver helmet, and he invited me to come closer and turned it toward me so I could get a better picture,which was super sweet and thoughtful. Thank you! My only very nit-picky complaint is that their drinks (many of which are tikidrinks, or tiki inspired) could benefit from using pebble ice rather than ice cubes. Many tiki drink recipes account for how thepebble ice melting affects the flavor/taste. Read more
This place used to be decent. USED TO. Now you can tell it's a hangout joint for the staff and not an actual place of... employment. How do I know this? From the multiple times I saw them sitting on the bar (yes on), in the back talking, and justbeing on their phones. Meanwhile we waited for our food for way longer than expected for a non busy day. No updates. No checkins. No service. People left and their dirty tables just sat there while the people working just chilled. Customers notice thesethings and if they keep the open front dirty I wonder what the heck the kitchen looks like! Not to mention they even take theliberty to edit your order without telling you. I got a spring mix salad and when it finally came out it was all iceberglettuce, not a heads up that they maybe ran out of anything, they just decided to serve a sad excuse for a salad anyway. Theonly silver lining is they they refunded us for it. They also got my mother's order wrong and forgot the grilled pineapple whichtook even longer to come out. My theory is that they know a lot of people coming are tourists so they don't care to make animpression or give good service since they know we're only here for a short time. Read more
An overpriced bar with decorative/garnished drinks but no substance to it and non complimentary food which also is overpriced... even for lake mammoth. 2 star only for service. Read more
We went here on a Saturday night while the DJ was bumping the music. The crowd was lively and there was plenty of dancing. Like... any club bar, getting a drink will take some time. I was disappointed to see the bartenders having bad attitudes and scoffingat guests as they put in drink orders. I get that its busy serving, but you are getting a tip for a reason, earn it.

Crowded, didn't like the odds of you. I went for dinner right before they opened their club. In the middle of our dinner, one of... the security came and told us we needed to move in a minute as they were getting the dance floor ready for the night. No please,no apology for inconvenience, no offer to even help us get any table. Decent place to get drinks at night, but would notrecommend getting food here. Read more
