| - Big fan of Hula's been a bunch of times, but finally was compelled to write a review. Just came back from a week in Maui, so I was still in "Hawaii-Mode" (which is soooo hard to get out of lol), so I insisted we go to Hula's to get my Hawaii fix. Mainly....that just means I was dying for a good Mai Tai.
If you go here, you MUST order a Mai Tai. While most of their drinks are pretty good and tropical tasting, the Mai Tai is the best in town (now that Trader Vic's is donzo). I'm a Mai tai snob, and cringe when most mai tai's here on the mainland are made way way way too sweet and fruity. The Mai Tai at Hula's could rival some of the best in Hawaii in my opinion. Mostly rum (white and dark) and just the right amount of sweet mixed with the right amount of tart/sour. They go down great and they hit you with quite the kick before ya know it, so be careful ;-)!
As far as the food...its good, but its not Roy's so don't except anything amazing. I usually get fish here, just to go with the whole Hawaiian thing. Most of the times I've had Mahi, it can be dry sometimes, but always tastes good. Ive had both the wasabi crusted and the macadamia nut crusted, both are decent. The Luau Pork plate is darn good, but my recommendation is get the Luau Pork sandwich instead. It goes so much better on bread, than just by itself. All the appetizers are great to munch on while you're enjoying your Mai Tai...all thats missing is Hawaiian music, and the sun setting over the ocean :)
