HULA'S Modern Tiki Uptown

Went here after work with some coworkers, it was Wednesday, so happy hour prices until 10pm. Mocktails and cocktails were the same price so why not try some fun concoction. I had a Dr.Funk drink, it was amazing, also tried the bites, yum. Definitely will be back to try some other fruity drink!

The fish bites appetizers were tasty but I wasn't a fan of the edamame. For dinner, the BBQ ribs with mango bbq was tasty, but unfortunately it was too grisly for me. The cocktails were delicious!

Just flew into town and it was a nice first stop. It was sunny and clean. The waiters were attentive and the food came quickly. Cute patio, assuming it's used more for fall or winter. Lol. Unique Tiki drinks. Drink menu has a ton of options.

Give this place a shot! The vibes are cool and the food was so good. We got tuna and white fish tacos with the potstickers. Everyone’s food around us looked so good too. It was packed with happy fun customers. People working at the bar too which is cool.

If you're near the Phoenix airport and craving bold island flavors with a modern twist, Hula’s Modern Tiki is a must-visit. Tucked away just minutes from the terminal, this vibrant, tiki-inspired spot offers an unexpected escape with tropical vibes, exceptional food, and one of the best happy hours around. We stopped in recently and were seated and served incredibly fast a huge plus when you’re on a schedule or just looking to unwind quickly after a flight. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, with modern tiki decor that hits the perfect balance between playful and polished. Whether you're sitting at the bar or in a cozy booth, the place immediately feels like a getaway. The happy hour here is nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we sat down, the energy was upbeat, the service was on point, and our bartender was absolutely incredible. Personable, knowledgeable, and quick on the pour, they made the experience even better with excellent drink suggestions and spot-on execution. The cocktail menu is filled with tropical classics and creative twists, and each drink we tried was perfectly balanced strong enough to feel it, but smooth and flavorful. Now onto the food and wow. We started with the ceviche, which was light, bright, and absolutely bursting with citrus. It had just the right amount of heat, and the fish was fresh, tender, and perfectly marinated. It’s easily some of the best ceviche we’ve had in Phoenix. Next up were the fish cakes, which were nothing short of phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside, they were perfectly seasoned and served with a zesty aioli that brought everything together. The texture was spot on not too dense, not too soft and every bite was packed with island-inspired flavor. The menu has a lot of tempting options, but these two appetizers alone would be reason enough to come back. Combined with the attentive service and upbeat atmosphere, Hula’s makes you feel like you’re on a mini vacation without ever leaving the city. Whether you're a local looking for a great happy hour or a traveler passing through Phoenix, Hula’s Modern Tiki delivers a memorable dining experience. It's fast, flavorful, and full of good vibes a rare find so close to the airport. Final Verdict: A tropical oasis in the desert don’t miss the ceviche, fish cakes, or happy hour cocktails. Cheers to great food and even better service!

We did an early dinner before work. I love this spot the minute I went through the unique doors. Nice and comfortable smallish crowed but was jamming soon enough. Really good portions for the money, very well flavored everything was wonderful. Pictured (side) fried plantian, sweet potato fries with three dipping sauces. Jerk chicken with rice topped with mango chutney and Jamaican Johnny cakes. Also, Spicy Thai Chicken Bowl washed it down with Tropical Iced Tea. Finished it off with a slice of Key Lime Pie (mine is better). Get out of surprise. Go there.

Pretty nice restaurant really cool entry doorway all of the drinks come in really fun cop which was cool. The servers and waiters are very attentive. They give you enough space but they’re also mindful of when it’s time to give you the check without you having to look for them the drinks were very tasty. Prices were pretty reasonable didn’t get a chance to try out their food, but it looked like people were enjoying theirs. I was gonna come again for a friend outing or even a date.
