Hula Hoops Restaurant & Tiki Bar

The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The ingredients were fresh, especially in the seafood pan roast, grilled pork BBQ, Spam fries, ahi poke nachos, and the Ubelicious drink. The ambiance is warm and inviting — just right for enjoying good food and meaningful conversation. Cherryl, our host, was exceptionally nice and welcoming. She was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended dishes that perfectly matched our tastes. The entire staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a 5-star experience for both food and service.

I really want to like this place, just not for me... I think the decor is brilliant and the staff is friendly, I just can't get around the food. The portions were good, but everything was just OK. Nothing stood out, nothing was exemplary or scrumptious. Hula Hoops is tucked away in the Westborough Square shopping center in South San Francisco. Parking was not an issue, with plenty of spaces available. The venue itself is not the biggest, however they use their space well. The decor is Polynesian Island theme along with anime and Marvel characters. Very eccentric, I liked it and thought it was unique. The big let down for me was the food... ENTRÉES: ~ Loco Moco Combo (Mochiko Fried Chicken & Kalua Pork) - 2.75/5 It was OK. Good size portion. The Mochiko Fried Chicken was a disappointing and the Kalua Pork was OK. I thought both lacked flavor. Mac salad was also just OK. The bigger issue was the eggs. We asked for over easy, instead we got over cooked eggs. I'm not one to send stuff back to the kitchen or make a fuss. It was just not what we requested. FROM THE SEA: ~ Grilled Squid - 3/5 Meh... We didn't enjoy the texture. The edges were fine, but the body of Squid was rubbery. This could have been much better Dessert: ~ UBE FLAN - 3/5 Presentation is brilliant. That was about it, the taste didn't match the visual presentation. Somehow it was bland. ~ UBE BARS - 3/5 This was just OK. It was more like a dessert bar with a hint of Ube. We also had an issue with their gift cards as well, they were unable to sort it out. We're still waiting to hear back from them. Not sure if Hula Hoops had an off day or we just didn't get the right things. Probably my first and last time here... I do wish them well tho.

Very delicious food. The service was great. Although we got there close to the kitchen closing time, the waiter still allowed us enough time to order and enjoy our meal. We tried the nachos as appetizers and went for the short rib which was braided to perfection. Very tender and delicious and the kimchi fried rice was super delicious and made a fantastic base for the ribs. I highly recommend Hula Hoops to fellow bay area residents.

It’s a really fun bar with excellent BBQ pork and a tasty loco moco. The cocktails are beautiful and well made, and the decor gives the place a great vibe. I really enjoyed it here and would definitely come back.

I'm from the UK so we have nothing like this. Hula Hoops is a fantastic spot for delicious Filipino-Hawaiian fusion! We ordered an absolute feast: Truffle Fries, Spam Musubi, Spam Fries, Sisig Fried Rice and the Loco Moco–was my absolute favourite—a must-try. Sadly, they had run out of dessert by the end of our meal, but the evenings entertainment was decent. We happened to be there while they had an open mic night and which closed out the night nicely. Loved the food, loved the vibe. Highly recommended!
