We had dinner here one night during out visit....the place was packed! Granted it was a sat. night so understandable....we waited about 30 minutes for a table and enjoyed a few drinks while we waited....they were yummy. It was very noisy and crowded so if thats not your thing...maybe try someplace else. We both enjoyed our meals and service was... More

Had an early dinner with my husband and two little boys in tow (3 yrs and 1 yr) around 5:30p. Atmosphere was great - Hawaiian and festive.

I've had the pleasure of dining at many of Monterey's Cannery Row institutions over the years but I must agree with many here that dining out at Hula's Island Grill is "special".

Funny on our last night (4th night) we heard about Hula's because they were only one of maybe 3 resturants that had a vegetarian option for my wife.

Hula's has so much atmosphere! We enjoyed sitting at the bar while waiting on a table & got to interact some with the local crowd. Everyone was very friendly. Our meal was excellent, large portions and reasonably priced. I had teriyaki steak, husband had coconut crusted mahi & we shared a huge piece of coconut layer cake for dessert-yum!! Meal... More

Doesn't look much from the outside but there is a good choice on the menu if you eat meat or fish. with massive cakes for after! plenty of locals came in for dinner whilst we were there

We had excellent meals. The food was very tasty with large portions. A nice variety of foods on the menu. The spicy edamame was fantastic. Service was excellent. An excellent place for a meal that is a short walk from the Cannery Row area. Seemed very popular with the locals.
