Waikiki Wally's, opened by Hayne Suthon in 2002, was a modern Polynesian restaurant with nods to Polynesian pop history. It was connected via a tunnel to Lucky Cheng's, a drag cabaret also owned by Suthon; Waikiki Wally's closed in January 2009 when Lucky Cheng's moved to a new location.

� used to love this place. Nothing to write home about, but the food was always great, the drinks were cheap and strong and every now and then a Polynesian lady did a dance when she was feeling it (I believe she was one of the managers). Sad that it's gone.

I went here several times when I lived in NYC, and then sadly one day it was no longer there! It was sad to see it go at the time, because the food, drinks, service and decor were all good.

i only went here once before it closed and it was pretty rundown by then, but the bartender and customers were friendly and the drinks were cheap and decent.
