Being a lover of everything tiki definitely got me into this restaurant the first time; but their food is what is going to make me return. Followers hoping this will be a great Mecca of tiki decoration in the ever dwindling times of tiki bars might be slightly disappointed. It was very tiki-esque, but it was missing the over the... more

Pros: Fun theme, killer drinks, the pork pot stickers were out of this world, and we bought a pair of the cool tiki glasses that we had our drinks in. Cons: We had a long wait and it was crowded. Entrees were just okay. Bottom line: If you think you will like this kind of place then you definitely will. more

I always start judging a place by how long the line is to get in, the longer the line the higher my expectations. This place didn't disappoint. When we first got there we had to wait to even get on the wait list. The place was packed and all the staff was running like crazy. Even like that we only... more

Avoid it like the plague. My husband and I gave it three tries (too many). The first two meals went right through me. The last time we tried to have a dinner at Hula's my husband was sick all night with cramping and diarhea. Good atmosphere - don't let it fool you. more

After spending the day looking at sea creatures (aquarium), we were ready to eat. We were looking at something filling but inexpensive...we found our place. My son had the chicken skewers and sweet potato fries, he said it was "Okay..." The only thing he really liked was the grilled pineapple that came with it. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos...he... more

During our many California trips we dined in some of the finest establishments; from Spago in LA, to Moose's in SF, Casanova and Gresing in Carmel. This little colorful cafe is among our favorite. The food was so flavorful and our waiter was so welcoming and nice! We loved it. My husband had the pulled chicken taco; while (I am... more

Visited the grill with my family and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The food was excellent, and a pleasant change during a lengthy US trip. I found staff very helpful and accomodating - there is no childrens menu but we ordered two mains and shared them out to our three kids. This is located just off the main toursit area, not... more

OK, so here we go. Its a total local scene with great food! The pulled pork is my favorite! I would suggest dipping your sweet potato fries in it's sauce. The Ahi wantons are great for an app and the lite eater, but if your a man like my you'll indulge in a fat steak and you wont be disappointed.... more
