We love this place! Pet (ultra) friendly ! The outdoor patio is amazing and they can have a delicious grilled chicken breast ! And for humans… the best macadamia crust barramundi and luau bbq pork !
I found this place on 4sq as I was passing by Monterey on my way south. The food was amazing. Especially my gfs tuna salad was melting in the mouth. Staff is great, very friendly and very keen to help
The Ahi , Mahi and Ono fresh fish are very good, Bali Hai Bbq ribs were tasty n juicy, kona style chicken wings were excellent. Everything were a clean up, haha
Wanted to try this place out for my birthday!Needless to say there was something for everyone in my family!And everyone was so happy! I had their fish tacos and I was so satisfied! Definitely be back!
Forget about the food, go straight to the Hula’s Pie ???? jk (not really) food is also pretty amazing, I tried the ahi with macadamia & the shrimp tacos , the staff is very nice too! Definitely worth it
Great happy hour , passion fruit margarita , ahi , pie , generous portion of wings (but the least good appetizer we tried). Burger patty is a bit thick but tasty & the bread is very soft and fresh
Ribeye , Thai Chicken Bowl, Hula Burger . Mac Cheese & Cheese started the meal off well . Everyone most pleased - Nikki served us excellently. Too bad we don't live here or we'd be regulars.
Everything was perfection down to the atmosphere and staff . Try the blackened ahi steak sandwich , the bread ... the slaw ... the tuna ! Amazing. Try it with sweet potato fries !
The wings , the island poke , sake , are all amazing!!!! The service was also really good. Nice cozy place that will def. take you back to Hawaii :)
Ceviche and sweet potato fries were amazing. Mango chicken Caesar salad were yummy too. Large size, so order with care.
We loved that Hula’s has vegan options ! Tofu Tacos and the Jungle Bowl were phenomenal.
If you order the kid's mac & cheese , ask them to dump it out on a plate to cool. They serve it in a scalding hot crock it bakes in, which is barely safe for adults. We enjoyed a good meal, though.
The Hawaiian ceviche is ridiculous GREAT! Also, as a Jamaican-American, I am personally consigning the Jamaican jerk is legit and thr right level of burn ya botty hot!
Incredible vegetarian and GF menu! Open for outside during covid.
try the calamari steak sandwich with sweet potato fries & their secret dipping sauce . it is immensely wonderful. if you don't want their fries , try the coleslaw . its surprisingly good, for coleslaw !
Great rum drinks , great patio , service, lots of vegetarian options .
Jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese is great of course but I really liked the coconut cake . Moist and with just enough sweetness
fantastic food and great, friendly staff ! skip the places at the pier and get to this place for your meal.
Great service and delicious food. Saturday happy hour is from 2-6, so grab some tiki drinks for sure.
So tiki-tastic. $6 apps & drinks for happy hour ! Get the painkiller , though the zombie comes in a fun cup.
Delicious cocktail (tiki bar ) and hawaii specialties! Hawaii atmosphere !
The jerk pork is good. The sauce isn't as hot as they say it is.
everything. drinks, service, food on point. wish this place existed in my town .
Godzilla tots (w/ grilled onions , nori , sriracha aioli ), poke apps, and lilikoi pie ftw!
Macadamia nut encrusted fish with mango , papaya salsa is simply the best!
The food was very good and the staff was super friendly . Get the pot brownie for dessert !
You need to order their ceviche , I was extremely surprised! Also, try their double Mai Tai .
The baja-style (fried) fish tacos here are pretty good
Seriously, the best service, best food- in Monterey. Hands down. EVERYTHING on the menu is THE BEST!!!!
Fun atmosphere and delicious food. Appetizers and fruity cocktails , a great way to unwind after work!
Go on a Tuesday when appetizers are $5 all night and try the spicy edamame and the wasabi mashed potatoes . Amazing!
Poke was very good. Cubano pork and Luau pork were under seasoned. Don't be afraid of salt!
The best edamames I have ever had. Vege meals were amazing too. Highly recommended!
The tofu tacos are absolutely delish!!! As well as the pink bikini martini , vodka infused with pineapple and watermelon , ohhhh heaven!!
Jerk sauce was spicy and amazing with super fresh fish ! Delicious Hawaii 5-0 cocktail too.
Jungle bowl and Tiki drinks .... Cute back patio too. Love Hulas to pieces.
Try the macadamia nut crusted fresh catch of the day! Kalbi ribs were tasty too!
Hawaiian ceviche , sweet potato fries , fried plantains , duke's luau pork ...good eats. And a Zombie. Go happy hour !
Great tiki drinks and decent food!
Happy Hour ! Try the Banh Mi Bao Sliders or the Chicken Wings . :)
The ahi tuna steak sandwich was tasty and the sweet potato fries are worth trying.
Dukes pork plate is awesome. Best sweet potato fries ever the secret sauce is amazing.
Drinks are on the sweet side but come in such festive vessels! Try the dr. Funk
Walk a block from the bad food near the aquarium and eat here. Mac n Cheese is great. Drinks awesome.
Solid food, solid service. Fish tacos were good and hula pie dessert was awesome.
Nice place, back patio is cozy . Food is alrighty.
Get there before 6pm for a great happy hour drink and appetizer menu! All $5!
Blackens ahi steak sandwich is great, as is the calamari starter
The owners of this place are awesome and the shrimp ceviche is the perfect mix of spicy and savory.
Ribeye , Thai Chicken Bowl, Hula Burger and Mac and Cheese .
Ask for a buckshot. $5 well whiskey beverage only served here. Delicious. - Aaron DeWitt
Amazing place all around. Take at least a half day to explore with your friends and family. That won't be enough to see all it has to offer. Lot's to do for kids too. - David Bone
Jeff is an ex-pat with a great beer selection on tap including Boddingtons, Smithwicks and Newcastle Brown. Good pub grub. The burgers are really tasty and the steak and mushroom pie is great. - Nigel Fenwick
