Great food, and great atmosphere. We had a lemongrass encrusted halibut, macadamia nut encrusted halibut and southern seas tacos - all very tasty, but lemongrass encrusted halibut is just superb. Make sure to try the lilikoi pie, it's so yummy!

We had such a great time at Hula’s! The tiki and surf vibe in the place is spot on. The food was amazing – I tried the catch of the day, ono fish (kind of like a tuna steak), and it was seriously delicious. The drinks all sounded super tempting too!

Flavorful food with nice atmosphere. Jerk chicken is good level of spicy and mahi mahi is very fresh. Try order fish of the day and you will not disappointed

I didn’t realize that Tiki food can be on the healthier side . I will definitely stop by and have dinner/drinks again . It’s the perfect place for people because you can be on the loud side or quieter side or in the middle . It can get busy and sometimes the servers are just swamped but still manage to be friendly :) I got the Buddha bowl and it was so good and healthy tasting . The next day I woke up with thicker finger and toenails , no water retention or bloat . We went back and again I got the Buddha bowl but this time it had no Kim chee and more tomatoes instead and too much sauce which I spooned off. It was as if two different people made the same dish . But again it was still great :) ! For drinks I had a Zombie and it was so perfect that I had another one. The second night I had the Painkiller and again perfect .

There is Hula Island Grill, and right next door, there is an intimate little speakeasy. Same restaurant, menu, and drinks, but this one is adult only. Walk through the black velvet curtains and be transformed to another decade. Great music, amazing drinks. Our bartender Megan made mixing cocktails an art. We tried the mai tai flight and pink bikini martini. For food, we had delicious Hawaiian ceviche that was filled with flavor and a nice kick. Loved the sweet potato fries and mac and cheese that was thick and creamy. Definitely on the list of places to visit again. Great food and drinks with a touch of old-time mystery.

We have been to Hula's several times and will definitely be back. The staff are generally very friendly and accommodating. One waitress was particularly thoughtful when she realized we were vegetarians, which we really appreciated. The food is absolutely delicious and there are many vegetarian options. We can particularly recommend the bowls (Buddha and Jungle) and the cakes and pies (Key Lime and Passion Fruit).

Tasty drinks and appetizers at great happy hour prices! The wings were some of the best we have ever had and are one of the happy hour options. I went in planning to only have one drink but ended up with a second one after my first one was so delicious. Really nice friendly employees. Positive vibes. We look forward to our next visit.

We love the happy hour appetizers and drinks. Although the abalone style calamari was not part of the happy hour, we ordered it too and we were not disappointed. It was very tender and the dip was very good. We also had the Hawaiian ceviche that was refreshing and the fall off the bone kona chicken wings. My husband was happy with the double order of his cocktail and so was I with my zombie.

Absolutely amazing! Loved the vibe and decor throughout but our server, Kelly, was terrific. She was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. We went a Saturday to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday. We went early because we’d been driving around all day doing stuff and I was surprised how full it was there at 4pm! (But that’s a good sign!) Kelly was attentive and the food came out pretty quick. She told us about the specials so we got to try Godzilla Tots and ordered the Alaskan salmon special for one of our entrees. Perfect place for a family outing, group of friends, and even a delicious but casual dinner date! We had to take our pie to go and wait a few hours to try it since the portion sizes were so generous (and we all tried each others) so no picture of that, but we did find a license plate with our mom’s name on it!

We had the shimp tacos, wasabi ahi, pulled pork all 10/10.... but the kalbi ribs... 6/10 flavor was there but they were pretty tough and hard to chew and cut. Stay away from that, everything else was great!

The tables were somewhat crowded, being too close to each other. However, the decor was charming. I ordered the Hawaiian soup with fish, shrimp, and coconut milk with lemongrass. I felt that the soup had an Asian twist to it. 😋 The soup was very delicious!! Everything was hot and fresh. My dad is disabled, and I felt that they could better accommodate disabled

Food was Hawaiian/ thai-ish. There's some plates with coconut cream. Visit if you want to witness modern day segregation. Privileged will be sat in the side with the bar, the rest through the door on the left.

Not a tourist trap. so two star . But the food … chef needs basic understanding of food chemistry. Appetizer: abalone style calamari. Vile. Def Cuttle fish, bland , seemed boiled, reheated. Main: same sauce from the cuttle fish app This lime ginger sauce needs salt, some sweetness may be apple juice. It’s monotone with lime and ginger. Coleslaw: tasted astringent due to the amount of mustard and ginger. inedible! Crab curry: so much potential! Had to put a ton of salt. but again needs less ginger, something sweet . It was a torture. You can surely do better.

Oh no. The fish was frozen in a small puck, nowhere near fresh. Only reason I didn't say anything to the waitress was because she was so nice and helpful. Hospitality is amazing, food is truly terr…

Asked for plain black iced tea; got fruity something-waitress clueless. Fries saturated in oil-inedible. My husband's burger dry and overdone; mine basically raw.
