Theo RadioSeptember 6, 2016I 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 YongJune 14, 2018The 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
GusMay 15, 2022We 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!
MirisJune 22, 2016Ribeye, 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.
Arielle LysacekSeptember 22, 2019Wanted 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!
Wen ÁvilaApril 20, 2019Forget 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
JennyMay 15, 2021Great 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
Gigi ThecoastNovember 24, 2017Everything 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!
Natalie NoblittJuly 4, 2014If 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 GunterAugust 19, 2017The 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!
Sandra CifoJuly 19, 2019The 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 :)
Angela CaseySeptember 5, 2021We loved that Hula’s has vegan options! Tofu Tacos and the Jungle Bowl were phenomenal.
Astri KDecember 19, 2014Ceviche and sweet potato fries were amazing. Mango chicken Caesar salad were yummy too. Large size, so order with care.
Jessica LeAnneNovember 8, 2011try 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!- Theo RadioSeptember 24, 2016fantastic food and great, friendly staff! skip the places at the pier and get to this place for your meal.
Libby Lee-EganFebruary 15, 2015Jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese is great of course but I really liked the coconut cake. Moist and with just enough sweetness- Derek FlanzraichSeptember 25, 2015So tiki-tastic. $6 apps & drinks for happy hour! Get the painkiller, though the zombie comes in a fun cup.
Mikahla VicinoMarch 18, 2017Great service and delicious food. Saturday happy hour is from 2-6, so grab some tiki drinks for sure.
Amélie BeerensDecember 16, 2014Delicious cocktail (tiki bar) and hawaii specialties! Hawaii atmosphere !
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!
Christopher MurphyNovember 13, 2022Great rum drinks, great patio, service, lots of vegetarian options.
Karina DrosenosAugust 13, 2018You need to order their ceviche, I was extremely surprised! Also, try their double Mai Tai.
Matt BernsteinDecember 27, 2014The food was very good and the staff was super friendly. Get the pot brownie for dessert!
The tofu tacos are absolutely delish!!! As well as the pink bikini martini, vodka infused with pineapple and watermelon, ohhhh heaven!!
Angelica DongalloOctober 13, 2018Godzilla tots (w/ grilled onions, nori, sriracha aioli), poke apps, and lilikoi pie ftw!

SpyTeal21August 22, 2015Dukes pork plate is awesome. Best sweet potato fries ever the secret sauce is amazing.
Hawaiian ceviche, sweet potato fries, fried plantains, duke's luau pork...good eats. And a Zombie. Go happy hour!
Ian CApril 27, 2014Poke was very good. Cubano pork and Luau pork were under seasoned. Don't be afraid of salt!
Nabeel HyattAugust 19, 2012Walk a block from the bad food near the aquarium and eat here. Mac n Cheese is great. Drinks awesome.
lanamaniacMarch 17, 2013The Hawaii fish soup is tasty but is actually quite spicy so sensitive bellies beware! The plantains are yummy tho.

Michael CaputoAugust 3, 2015The ahi tuna steak sandwich was tasty and the sweet potato fries are worth trying.

Sandy EOctober 26, 2015Various fresh fish served how you like. Sat. night was busy crowded noisy. Not enough seating for group of 12; they ran out of small tables to make one long table; had to cram together. Food is decent
