I'd been wanting to try this spot out for awhile but had put it on hold since my fiancé hadn't liked Hawaiian dishes he'd tried in the past. It just so happened that we found ourselves searching for a late night meal in Scottsdale and stumbled into Hula's.
First of all, as a mid century style buff, I loved the whole vibe going on inside. Hawaiian mod style with a few new age touches made for a pretty sweet and swanky setting.
I went with the fried fish bites app and a side of fries. Given the price point of the fish app (~$8-9), i fully expected the portions to be pretty small.. However the fish pieces were huge! My fiancé and I both could not come close to finishing them. Not only were the portions impressive for the price, but they tasted amazing! You could tell that they had just been battered and fried minutes beforehand. The side of fries were also just out of the deep fryer and were super yummy.
My fiancé went with the Jawaian Jerk Chicken plate which he said was quite possibly the best meal he's had since we moved to Arizona 6 months ago. I tried bites of the chicken and Johnny cakes and wow, I have to agree!
Service was great, ambience was awesome, and the food was outstanding.. Can't wait to return!
