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

Dennis Yong

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

Arielle Lysacek

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

Jenny

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

Miris

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.

Gigi Thecoast

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 !

Sandra Cifo

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 :)

Astri K

Ceviche and sweet potato fries were amazing. Mango chicken Caesar salad were yummy too. Large size, so order with care.

Angela Casey

We loved that Hula’s has vegan options ! Tofu Tacos and the Jungle Bowl were phenomenal.

Natalie Noblitt

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.

Francine Gunter

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!

Heather Fox

Incredible vegetarian and GF menu! Open for outside during covid.

Jessica LeAnne

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 !

Christopher Murphy

Great rum drinks , great patio , service, lots of vegetarian options .

Libby Lee-Egan

Jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese is great of course but I really liked the coconut cake . Moist and with just enough sweetness

Great service and delicious food. Saturday happy hour is from 2-6, so grab some tiki drinks for sure.

The jerk pork is good. The sauce isn't as hot as they say it is.

Godzilla tots (w/ grilled onions , nori , sriracha aioli ), poke apps, and lilikoi pie ftw!

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!
