Excellent food, service and great table too. Actually we have never had a bad meal at Hula Grill. The fish and preparation is delicious. Hula Pie is a must. Can be easily shared by 3-4 people.

Been coming to hideout for 3 years now every time my wife and I visit Oahu and it never disappoints. The Hamajang Board is a must order. The pork belly Brussels are definitely my favorite and my wife ranks the ahi sashimi with some of the best she’s had. Vibe is always on point as well. Theres plenty of great food around Waikiki but many places in the area are lacking in this department so it definitely sets the hideout apart. Every live music act or DJ I’ve seen there have been great. We’ll keep coming back.

Our server was excellent and the food was amazing. Was there for lunch with a large party. We started off with a chicken caesar salad and shrimp avocado salad. The chicken was moist and shrimp were perfectly seasoned. Most of us got the petite filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly, med rare, and was so soft. I had the garlic mash as a side, it had slivered garlic mixed in (super good) and the creamed spinach. A few others had the pesto pasta which they said was really good. Over all experience was great I definitely recommend trying them out.
