    Nice Restaurant. It was pretty busy. Most Restaurants are closed Mondays. Very smart to be open on a Monday. I am sure they do great business. Aaron did a nice Job and I give him 5 Stars. The Pork Sliders where okay. For my taste the Pork was to salty. The Samurai Beef Sticks where okay as well. However the Beef had no taste at all only the dipping sauce made it enjoyable. They have a nice selection of Beer, Wine and Cocktails. Not a bad place for Happy Hour. It was a beautiful evening and the weather was really nice so I picked a table outside. I wish they had the mister on this would have kept the flies away. Overall not a bad Restaurant. But it would not be my 1st choice given all the other Restaurants on High Street.

    We love Hula’s, they are always good to us and always serve such great food. Love the tiki bar vibe, makes me feel like I am on vacation, every time. They are quick, accurate and kind throughout the whole visit.

    Fun vibe. Huge portions! Veggie friendly dining and family friendly options at Happy Hour. One star off for how terrible the pineapple wine was and our host telling us there were no full booths in the restaurant. Did he think we would not see them when we hopped up to use the bathrooms?? Not sure, but in the long run we had a great server who made us forget where we were seated.

    Normally visit the uptown location and for now on that's the only location I'll visit again. There is nothing worse than being able to watch the kitchen from your seating and see the lack of care and sanitary efforts by the back of the house. We watched the cook scratch his beard continously with gloves on and then right after garnish a meal. DISGUSTING! His gloves literally looked like they hadnt changed them the entire shift. We brought it to the managers attention where she seemed to casually brush it off and mention it to line. They then stared and giggled at our table the rest of the time. Manager didn't accommodate anything for a pretty major situation.

    The customer service was excellent. Took our orders by memory and didn't even mess it up. Impressive! We had the civiche -delicious and wasn't too limey- Hunk Samoa burger -the burger was exceptional! Burger patty cook perfectly and taste of good quality. It had spam and which I thought would make the burger salty but didn't.- the drinks were also really good. I had a mocktail and I thought it was perfect! Had two!

    Overall a good experience. Went in on Sunday for brunch. While there is a gluten free menu there is not a dedicated gluten free fryer so it eliminated half of the menu for anyone with celiac.

    Overall very satisfied! Will definitely come back. The food was delicious! I loved how unique the flavors were. We had the Polynesian Chicken sandwich and Cajun burger. I can recommend both! But by far my favorite was the coconut shrimp roll appetizer. I could eat those all day!!

    I've now been here three times in the past two weeks. The food is very good and I would recommend the sliders (I get all fish), the ceviche, and the Cajon burger. I've had all three of those and they are great. They also have a good selection of beer and I really would recommend the blood orange martini, it's very tasty! They also have outdoor seating on the patio with misters to help with the heat. Also happy hour is Monday to Friday from 3:30 pm to 6 on ( Wed 3:30 to close) and weekends 10:30 am to 6 pm. I strongly recommend checking this place out while you are here in High Street, you won't be disappointed!

    Really nice dinner. Very well taken care of and the food was delicious.The burger with the fried spam was great and the spicy chicken bowl was really good too. Food portions were big enough to share for sure.

    The food is fantastic! Really cool take on Hawaiian themed food. Servers were great as well! We will definitely return. Ask for Ryan at the bar. Excellent service!

    We are HUGE fans of Hula's. All of their food is spectacular, and we have always had excepting service when dining in. They have a special Halloween drink menu, and I HIGHLY suggest the Oogie Boogie. We had the pork tacos, and for appetizers, the crispy fish bites and coconut shrimp egg rolls. Everything was brought out quickly and very delicious. Would definitely recommend Hula's!! A++

    Nice place, good food, good drinks, just note that they take the last food order around 10 on a Friday

  • 2/5 Charlie C. 1 year ago on Google
    The drinks were good, but I would not eat here again. Soggy fries, chicken wings were not crispy, overcooked beef, over/underseasoned food. There were a lot of flies outside too.

    This place is a High Street standby. Clearly everything here is made with love and skill, I try something new Everytime and have never been disappointed by a single dish. My son loves the fish sticks and I have no problem feeding them to him because they are panko breaded with fillet meat, although there is a great kids menu filled with excellent options. (Same can be said about the cocktail menu) It gets pretty busy so plan to wait a little while on weekends during meal rushes. Some of my favorite items include: The Ahi Salad, the Hula burger, the sliders, and the poké. P.S. Happy Hour is great here!

    We had an amazing server called McKenna. The hostess was also super attentive because we were at the table right by her, and our server was slammed. We were cared for and our drinks were soooo tasty! I got the habanero chicken tacos and didn't expect it to have such a kick lol I had to take it home for my husband to eat, it gave me the hiccups 🌶 🤣 Lovely evening and I can't wait to be back.

    So good... fresh food, friendly staff and such a comfy vibe atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Crissy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great happy hour. Fast service and a good time. Our waitress was amazing. I don't know her name but she had dark hair and dimples. But we had multiple servers. It was a great team.

    Great food. Wouldn’t recommend the key lime pie for now. Not as tart as it should be. Maybe in the future! Everything else was wonderful. Our waiter was very nice.

  • 5/5 Monique M. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. So happy to get to try this place while visiting. Also a great happy hour.

    Some nice options for lunch and dinner. Service was pleasant and professional. The ribs were a good choice. The meat was tender and the sauce was good - although it was laid on pretty thick. The jerk pork, not so much. It was chewy with too much gristle. Both dishes could have been served hotter and on heated plates. Dog friendly, which was much appreciated.

    Had dinner on the patio near the fireplace, which was a wonderful experience. Fun place with great drinks and food. Our server was helpful and attentive. We will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Paul K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was great. It was pretty busy because it was Friday night. We ended up waiting about 25 min for a table. Totally worth it tho. I had the Huckin Samoa Burger. Wow!!! Talk about a burger. This thing was messy and amazing!

  • 4/5 Angela R. 1 year ago on Google
    I like there place in line alerts. Once seated, I had to wait too long for the Mai Tai. I thot the fish on the ceviche was a tad mushy. The slaw had some sort of odd herb. The other items seemed fine with lots of choices. The highlight was the dessert...key lime pie, but the real winner was the Coconut Cream pie.

    This was my first time visiting Hula's Modern Tiki on High Street. The place looked fun from the outside. The moment I walked in I spoke with the hostess I felt right at home. The clientele was very fun and friendly, and so was the hostess. We ordered several drinks called, Hawaii Five-O, Hawaiian Hurricane and Dr funk. They tasted super delicious! We ordered Hawaiian Spare Ribs and a Hawaiian Ribs Sandwich, but we shared a Hawaiian Ceviche appetizer. Man, the ceviche was incredibly delicious! Hula's Modern Tiki was a great choice as our evening 🔦spotlight!✨ The food 🍛 was great, and the drinks were even better! 🍹🤪 🤣
