Dragon Seed Luau Hut brought authentic Polynesian escapism to Jackson Heights in the 1960s, transforming a corner of Queens into a tropical paradise complete with bamboo decor and exotic cocktails. Located on 37th Avenue in the heart of one of New York's most diverse neighborhoods, this tiki establishment became a beloved local institution during the height of America's tiki bar craze. The restaurant served both traditional Polynesian fare and Chinese-American dishes, reflecting the multicultural spirit of Jackson Heights while offering diners a chance to forget the urban jungle outside. For decades, Dragon Seed stood as a testament to the era when every neighborhood seemed to have its own slice of the South Pacific, complete with carved tikis and the gentle glow of bamboo torches. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
