First time in 30 years I've been disappointed by hulas. My noodles were pale and simultaneously burnt in spots. It tastes like butter noodles and freezer burnt meat. I've never left my leftovers let alone a full bowl. I waited in line for over a hour, just to be dissapointed. I know it's a very busy night but I've seen it busier and go twice as fast. Now I have to get dinner somewhere else and I'm out $64 not including tip for two people. I think the grill has been turned down so they can pay only one cook at a time, which makes the food more boiled than fried, killing the flavor and caramelization. Truly deeply disappointed please do better hulas, you are a Chico institution, but I wouldn't pay $10 for what I got tonight.

One of my favorite spots!
Generally safe for dairy allergies. There's a heavy presence of soy and gluten. All food is grilled on two communal grills, so cross contamination will occur.
Amazing price, amazing taste, amazing service. The only thing I dislike is the dining area feels a little bit unclean.

The line for food was very long. The food was good, lots of choices for meat, no sea food. There was peanuts. A lot of vegetables. The sauces were good too. The refilled things quick and if there wasn't enough you could ask for more. Lots of people used a little bowl to squish down meat and make more room but at the cook part if it misses the bowl it's juts trashed so be careful. The cooks were fast but made sure everything was coock through. Again the just add everyone ls bowl to the grill, they did say they would clean the grill if requested. Everyone there was very nice and would answer questions. Ask for help on sauces be heavy with the sauce it cooks out fast.

Food was amazing how they let you pick your ingredients and they cook it right in front of you. A bit pricey though but if stack your food in your bowl you can get 2 meals out of it to take home.
Mongolian bbq was good, but... really dirty. The service was just so so. The soup was cold. Bottom line this was our final visit after all these years. Bummer.

Got too expensive to eat here now. $30 a bowl is ridiculous. Not going back. Also, the guy in front of me had mostly Jalapeños in his bowl, so I got alot of his heat and ruined my dinner.

My roommates took me here for my Birthday dinner, even got a free 🍨. Delicious as always. One of my favorite places to eat
Been away a few years and really liked Hulas in the past. Upon my return still has great food. Really enjoyed it. I’m 2 hours away but I’ll still be coming back when I’m down this way.
Excited I went because I had a spot like this in my county years ago and it shut down because the mall area is was in was changing. It was excited as it was literally the same concept. The buffet line had all the frozen meats and fresh veggies that you pile in a bowl, you add sauces and then at the end of the line they cook it over a huge round hot plate. They cook it for about 5min and then hand it back to you. There's no wayThere's no way it seems.$24 for pretty much all you can eat. Great location for an fun experience.
