Hula's Island Grill - Monterey

Arrived on a Friday at around 5:15 and was seated immediately. Happy hour was still going until 5:30, so we ordered the ceviche and the wings. The ceviche was pretty lemony, so if that’s not your thing, might wanna order something else. The wings were bomb, super fresh and tasty. Came with some sort of coconut flavor sauce which was pretty good. For the main meal I got the Jawaiian Jerk Pork plate. It’s sweet at first, but the heat creeps up on you. My partner got the Ahi with chimichurri. The Ahi was cooked really nicely. I probably would’ve tried the lemongrass one instead of the chimichurri, but I’ll make a mental note for next time. Hula’s always provides solid food, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Hawaiian Island style restaurant with Tiki Bar to go with it. Great way to remind yourself that you're on vacation. Even if you're not. The fresh cut fries are utterly and completely perfect. Pork was great. Slaw had an interesting spice which was different but good. Plantains could have been a titch softer. Mix drinks were well made Boat Drinks. Live life friends!

Cool place and cool vibes if you’re looking for a Hawaiian style restaurant. We sat on the back patio and it was really nice especially on a warm day. We ordered the Kalbi rib bento box and Lilikoi pie for dessert. The ribs were really tasty, everything else was average. The star of the show is the Lilikoi pie, it was delicious. So creamy and fruity, definitely a must have if you go.

What an absolute GEM!!! We found this accidentally while looking for parking. We stopped in to see the menu the hostess was friendly, helpful when we told her we were looking at a restaurant across the street she gave us genuine feedback also another recommendation. We promised to come back for lunch the next day. Next day... different hostess, but same friendly greeting. We opted to sit outside in the patio area (with heaters! It was a great setting even with the occasional gusts of cold wind... it was comfortable! The food was fresh absolutely delicious. The Mango chicken Caesar salad was amazing as well as the fish sandwich... not to mention that they have the absolute BEST sweet potato fries that are cooked perfectly... crispy outside, but tender inside. Jayna... you are absolutely the BEST waitress and put the perfect finishing touches on our experience! We will be telling everyone we know who may be traveling to your area to MAKE time to stop by for great food, great ambiance (the music was creating a perfect vibe! WORLD CLASS SERVICE!! Thanks so much we can't wait to visit again

Stumbled upon this place because I wanted to try something new and I’m so glad I did! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan options available. We tried the jungle tofu bowl and the akua burger with vegan cheese and sweet potato fries. Both were soo good and fries were delicious. The restaurant was busy and had such a fun, laid-back vibe too, we loved the cozy outdoor seating.
