Great atmosphere, all workers hustling showing great work ethic and pride of their job. Many youngsters working serving... waitressing hosting. All we're happy smiling and very courteous. My sister and I were seated outside great open invitingwelcome comfortable atmosphere. The food was absolutely off the chart. Each dish perfectly delicious to the last bite. Amazingthing happened while existing the restaurant every single hostes and waitress said "Thank you with big smile of gratitude!" Ihave never experienced service like this in my life. Read more

Food 4.5, Ambiance 5, Service 5; Always come for lilikoi pie whenever in Monterey. Pupus are tasty but are small. But the... entrees didn?t disappoint. The fish stew was perfect for the cool evening sitting outside on the patio. The serving was huge andif I went diving would be a welcome meal after a cool dip. It was also tasty and full of goodies. The Buddha bowl was fresh andplentiful. Love the vibe. Our server was very personable and attentive. 4 people $150 Read more
Multiple seating areas, friendly servers, small bar by the front door. The Hawaii 5-0 drink I ordered was smooth, I couldn't... taste the alcohol. Jamaican Johnny cakes were the highlight of my meal. I ordered from full page vegetarian menu, where itemscan be modified for vegan preferences. My spicy tofu tacos with rice and beans were ok. The Jamaican Johnny cakes weredelicious, bring banana nut bread vibes with mashed plantains inside. This restaurant is pet friendly. There's a good size backpatio with a bar area that you cannot see from the street! There are a few locations, but Hula's is not an official, chainrestaurant. Read more
One of my favorite restaurants! Love the drinks and the Dukes Luau Pork Plate and the french fries! This time my favorite drink... was the Hurricane. We sat inside, next time we'll wait for outside seating. It was very crowded and VERY hot. Still my favorite!Ate outside this time and it was much better! Pele's punch was the winning drink this time! Read more
Definitely coming back after the quick and excellent service and meal. I highly recommend their happy hour and Godzilla tots.... Definitely fully of flavor. One thing I greatly appreciate is that when they say spicy they mean it! It was just right notoverwhelmingly spicy . ???? the ambience is super friendly and laid back. Definitely a place to kick back and enjoy a familymeal or chill with a large group of friends. Read more
Second time I have been here. The food is always fresh, delicious and served with a smile. The last time I came here I... discovered a new favorite beer...this time was no different. Another amazing Hazy IPA! Check out my pics for the details. If youare in Monterey, don't go to the tourist trap places that will mostly disappoint...go to Hula where everything is always onpoint!! I should coin that phrase!! Cheers!! Read more
A hidden gem just off the main beaten path of Cannery Row. Friendly, helpful staff that provided just the perfect amount of... attention. They went the extra mile to double check on our menu questions. This place caters to vegans and gluten-free, withseparate menus for each. Good variety of beers, ciders, wines (including pineapple wine!) and cocktails. For cocktails, you canorder a single or double serving. Good was delicious and came out relatively quickly. I?d recommend sitting in the back patio.Chill, fun, almost island-like vibes. Both shaded and unshaded tables available. Read more
