Hula Hands Restaurant

Unexpectedly delicious and a true Hawaiian experience from the moment you walk in to feeling full and satisfied at the end of the meal. We were welcomed by authentic, tasty food and incredible hospitality from the staff. The portions were so generous in the same way your grandparents feed you. We will definitely be back next time we visit Anchorage. Mahalo 🤙🏻

I ate a piece of chicken before posting this. $20 for this meal on door dash and it is SO GOOD! Generous portions, fantastic flavor and affordable. LOVE hula hands!! ❤️

If you have just a few dollars and want some absolutely amazing food this place is the stop, I'm a fat man who likes a lot of chicken and every time I've gotten food here its been more than enough to satisfy me now, and then a little leftovers later. The Pulehu chicken is made damn near perfectly with a great smokey flavor tasting like you just pulled it off the grill at home and the staff are absolutely amazing. I genuinely cant recommend this place enough to anyone i talk to and Hula hands will always be my go to spot for a quick, cheap, filling and most importantly delicious meal.

Hi, my boyfriend and I got the kalua pig combo plates with Mac salad and spike poke medium size. Very disappointed with the ahi poke. There was no flavor, it tasted watered down, and the texture of the fish was very mushy.... the sad part is that I'm from the islands and this was a serious disappointment. No love or better yet, no flavor at all. It tasted as if it was thawed last minute, not marinated and just prepped in a bunch of sauce with no seasoning. I've had hula hands poke before at a wedding and that was bomb, but this one was 0 out of 10. Service was great as usual but please reach out for reimbursement, mahalo.

Incredibly nice people, fast service, and you seat yourself so you don’t have to worry about waiting to be seated. Good prices too, nothing you wouldn’t see at any other restaurant. You can hear staff laughing in the back and listening to music, so it seems like an enjoyable place to work. It’s definitely a hole-in-the-wall establishment, meaning they have great food and service, but the location isn’t amazing, and they don’t try to go too fancy with decor(which I prefer).

The friend rice was quite the experience! I got mine with extra protein, chicken and their sausage. It was sooo delicious. I doubt it was gluten free, but I would say that it was worth it! Server was amazing and on point! Remember, even if it is busy, just be patient and kind and you will enjoy your meal!

Smells like bleach inside and very dark. Person working extremely rude. Spoke very disrespectfully to my friend 2x within the span of 5 minutes for literally no reason. Attitude was super uncalled for. Food is good though but might try the other location due to this staff being so nasty.

My Son always spoke highly of Hula Hands as being one of the best places to eat in Alaska while assigned to the 25th Airborne JBER (Ft. Richardson side). Its where he and his soldier buddies would frequent on paydays. He was right about the large portions and delicious authentic Hawaiin dishes. Bool Galbi (korean BBQ shortribs aka Kalbi) tasted fire grilled, and large poke is not only delicious but also huge more than enough for the three of us. By the way, my wife never eats sashimi yet alone poke but on this day she got caught the bug and was partkaking in the poke. The Galbi too was delicious and although I would have carmelized the shortribs a bit more, it was delicious nontheless. It even serves Laulau lol. Meals are served with sidedishes typical of plate lunches you'd get on Oahu or Big Island in Hawaii. In terns of environment, Hula Hands has the feel of a restaurant off the beaten path, where it is msinly frequented by locals, a so called "Hole in the wall" where one must try while visiting because the food is like a delicous home cooked meal cooked by granny, and served in large portions. In fact, during our meal, we were reminded of long gone Bernie's Teriyaki Chicken in Los Angeles, and Chun Oaks in Newport News, Va ( the latter is where i and my soldier buddies would go back in the 80's) Had i been stationed in Alaska, I too would have frequented Hula with my soldier buddies. I hope Hula remains in busines for a long time our next visit to Alaska. If you like authentic Hawain dishes and are in Alaska, definitely visit Hula Hands-Friendly.
